This is what a bad day for free speech and privacy looks like.
Meta's $17 billion settlement with the states is all over the news today, and almost every story is about teen screen limits and beauty filters.
It feels like barely anyone has read the actual judgment, which requires every adult user to give up their privacy just to get online, orders Meta to get better at surveilling you and linking your accounts together, and Meta has even waived the right to argue any of it is unconstitutional.

⚠️ ONGOING ATTACK ON COLDCARD - ACT NOW ⚠️
If you're a COLDCARD Mk3 user (your coldcard has no USB-C yet) you must MOVE FUNDS off the device RIGHT NOW.
Seed phrases generated on the COLDCARD Mk3 are insecure.
Move all funds to a secure hardware wallet. Call your trusted Bitcoiner if you need help.
This is not a drill. I know people affected by this. Share widely.
i don’t know how to say this in a fun whale way but there is never an excuse to kill children. stop fucking killing kids. stop creating pointless wars for profit. what the fuck is wrong with this world.
"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.
And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday."

These two images were taken by @astro_reid only minutes apart. The stark difference is the result of camera settings. In the first, a longer shutter speed let in much more light from Earth, while the shorter shutter speed in the second emphasizes our planet's nighttime glow.
one of the most frustrating things about there being “no jobs” is that we all walk around and see the work that needs to be done. our cities are crumbling, our people need help, our world is dying. there’s so much work to be done, if only it were good for the balance sheet
holy sh*t. this is hands down the coolest website i have ever found in my life. it's a live feed of the freaking Hubble Telescope AND James Webb Space Telescope. and the resolution is honestly so incredible i didn't think it was real.
unbelievable.

How are apps still doing this? Companies: stop asking users to upload their address books. And everyone else: refuse to upload your address book to random apps and social media platforms.
The contacts in your phone are not your data. It’s other people’s data.
I know this is a joke, but it’s also kinda mind blowing when you think about it.
I’ve been staring at this chicken for like ten minutes now, just letting it sink in.
Be here now.
In this one present moment.
With this chicken.
Anyone can become disabled at any time. It’s one of the few minority groups you can always join.
Even if you do everything “right”. Even if you’re young and healthy. Even if you “try hard”
It’s not a moral failing. It’s a part of life. Engage in disability justice.
I think a lot of you guys need to remember that there is a truly gobsmacking amount of money to be made by making you angry
It’s a whole economy. Stop participating in it
