The European Commission (EC) is considering a “Digital Omnibus” package that would substantially rewrite EU privacy law, particularly the landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It’s not a done deal, and it shouldn’t be. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/eus-new-digital-package-proposal-promises-red-tape-cuts-guts-gdpr-privacy-rights

This Christmas Eve, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

What asshat decided that user name and password should now always be on separate pages? How does this make anything better? Fuck you.

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

'Twas the night of the moratorium, and all through the cloud
not a pager was beeping: no deploys were allowed.
The packages frozen on the servers with care,
In hopes that an outage would strike nowhere;

The developers still pondering code to embed,
While visions of monads danced in their heads.
The VM put to sleep, and I in this app,
Had just settled down for a long masto thread,
