The EU ruling against Safe Harbor complicates things enormously for Internet services, but is a win for privacy. http://www.businessinsider.com/european-court-of-justice-safe-harbor-ruling-2015-10?utm_content=buff...
Lots of people talking about the @Fairphone. I need to learn more - the device itself looks fantastic. Does the OS spy on you?
What's the most ethical laptop you can buy, that also has great performance? Don't say Apple, HP or Lenovo.
@girlziplocked FWIW: I run a startup and 100% agree. Public money should go to education, welfare, healthcare and infrastructure.
I didn't think I'd be forcing a MacBook Air to recompile llvm at 11:15pm on a Monday night, but here we are.
This shouldn't surprise anyone, but I'm hereby coming out heavily in favor of the Oxford comma. #townnotgown #clauses4lyfe
