I overheard a woman at my job say "Your whole personality revolves around what you hate instead of what you love and thats an awful way to live." to the resident vocal Maga in the breakroom.

He was stunned into silence for at least 60 seconds so that was nice.

youtube with ublock origin experience of the 20 second gap between every video on a playlist where youtube desperately throws itself against the impervious ever-evolving uncaring face of the adblocker's wall screaming and clawing and calling PLEASE! PLEASE, OUR AD REVENUE!! DON'T YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS CREATOR? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OUR WALLETS? AND THEIRS? into the vast and empty sky before the adblocker gently raises one of its many iron-banded arms and flicks youtube away into the void just to hear its wails fade slowly into nothing

Oh, is that what's happening when it takes slightly forever for a youtube to actually start? It's ublock origin fistfighting Google over unskippable ads? I feel slightly better about it. I just thought my computer was being slow.

The FCC is considering a new rule where you have to give your ID and your other information in order to get cell service, essentially killing off your privacy

TLDR;

This new rule would require companies to collect Your name, physical address, government-issued ID number, and an alternate phone number before turning on your phone

They will verify and keep that data four years after your service ends

“Re-verification triggered by "red flags" like unusual call volumes or cryptocurrency payments”

The goal is to take down robocalls

People like the EFF and ACLU point out that citizens shouldn’t have to give away their privacy just to fight a few robot calls.

People of domestic violence, whistleblowers, victims of trafficking and journalist would be victims of this

And of course “roughly 15 million U.S. adults without a driver's license, disproportionately Black and Hispanic Americans, people with disabilities, and lower-income households.”

Plus, around 144 million records were leaked by both AT&AT and comcast combined

The comments on this rule are open right now

write them a comment and let them know that you will not give away your privacy

how to comment on the FCC

full thing

The FCC's new proposal, FCC 26-27, would make you have to provide an ID and a home address and an alternative phone number before getting service

“What the FCC Actually Wants From You

Every company that puts a call on the public phone network would face the same sweeping identity requirements under this proposal.

Mobile carriers, landline providers, VoIP services, and prepaid phone sellers are all covered.

The Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, adopted unanimously on April 30, 2026, converts broad KYC principles into hard obligations.

Here's what providers would need from you before activation:”

“Your name, physical address, government-issued ID number, and an alternate phone number — collected before service turns on

Verification of that data, not just collection

Records retained for four years after your service ends

Re-verification triggered by "red flags" like unusual call volumes or cryptocurrency payments”

why?

“The FCC frames this as a robocall killer. Banking groups point to nearly $200 billion in annual fraud losses, according to the American Bankers Association — and phone scams are genuinely devastating.

But privacy advocates note that most illegal robocalls originate internationally, and fewer than half of U.S. telecoms have fully implemented STIR/SHAKEN, the existing caller authentication standard built specifically for this problem.

The FCC hasn't finished deploying the targeted fix it already has.

"Americans should not have to sacrifice their privacy because the Commission hasn't exhausted more targeted alternatives to stop robocalls." — EFF and ACLU joint filing.”

People need private phones

Domestic abuse victims, “trafficking victims, whistleblowers, journalists protecting sources

and roughly 15 million U.S. adults without a driver's license, disproportionately Black and Hispanic Americans, people with disabilities, and lower-income households.

An ID requirement for basic phone service doesn't inconvenience criminal networks nearly as much as it blocks the people the system should protect.”

protecting information with a unworthy protector

“The FCC wants telecoms to hold your most sensitive data — the same companies with a proven record of losing it.”

AT&T lost over 109 million records in 2024

Comcast's Xfinity division exposed 36 million accounts the year before

Giving ID’s to these companies would risk everything for the people forced to give away their ID’s

“It's like giving your spare house keys to someone who locks themselves out on a weekly basis and calling it a security upgrade.”

The FCC hasn't finalized anything yet, and those gaps are exactly where public input can still matter.

Your window to shape this rule is short, and the stakes for everyday anonymity are very real.”

FCC proposal 26-27 would require government ID, home address, and an alternate number before any phone activation - including prepaid burner

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

The Color of Pomegranates (Նռան գույնը), dir. Sergei Parajanov (1969)

It’s Halloween 1984 and Steve Harrington has nothing left. Nancy broke up with him. His friends ditched him. He’s storming out of the party with his hands on his face, sobbing when Eddie Munson who’s selling catches him and offers a ride Steve’s about to refuse but figures he doesn’t want anyone else to see him crying.

Steve collapses in Eddie’s passenger seat, shaking and ugly crying. Eddie has no clue what to do, so he just awkwardly pets Steve’s hair like he’s a stray dog. “Shit, Munson,” Steve sniffs, “you probably think I’m a pussy.” And Eddie goes dead serious shaking his head “No, man. I don’t.”

They are parked outside Steve’s dark empty house smoking what’s left of Eddies lunch box and Steve tells him everything. Nancy. Him losing friends and how it feels to be King of nothing. Eddie’s floored they’re even talking, let alone like this. But then Steve whispers it. “I just want to run away.”

Eddie doesn’t even blink. “Okay.”

Steve, startled: “Okay what?”

“Let’s run away.”

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.

Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.

“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.

If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.

If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.

Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.
