The EARN IT Act would curtail Internet users’ speech and jeopardize their security. It would also violate the First and Fourth Amendments. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/earn-it-act-violates-constitution

They should replace "maintain your social distance" with "Mind the gap".

I'm posting this here because it's a space I care about. Raygun Lounge is a CapHill, queer owned and staffed gaming business. They're a go-to spot during most geek/nerd/gaming conventions and host hundreds of events every year, many of which are the queer board games nights I attend. There are a few ways people can help them stay in business at this time. Any help they receive has their thanks an mind.

dammit stop with the cargo culted password requirements and use 2FA
100% agree. Not just this year, though.
Looks like mastodon.cloud is being DDoSed again. 😞

it's world backup day (PSA)
if you have backups, check that you can still restore files from them. then make a new one today
if you don't have backups, do you have spare storage lying around? old DVD-Rs, a loose SD card, some unused free cloud storage? copy some of your files today, be they legal documents, family photos, your minecraft save. whatever matters to you. if storage is tight you may have to make some tough calls but please don't put it off just because you can't save it all in one go
I was out in the hot tub, soaking, relaxing, listening to a science podcast... then it started raining.
I really need to get a gazebo.
As we approach 1 APR, I would like to remind everyone that "practical jokes are neither."
"This digital divide did not happen by accident. It is the result of years of scorched-earth deregulation and consolidation pushed by large cable and broadband companies and a government that, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, believes that somehow the so-called “free market” will take care of the unconnected."
The long-tail of this pandemic will be with us a long time. I am saddened to think of all the lost potential science this represents.

Food
The nice thing about baking almost no-knead bread is that while it takes almost 24 hours to make you only need to spend about 15 minutes actually paying attention to it.

EFF will oppose this misguided proposal—just like we did the last three times this zombie bill was on the table. We need reform that reigns in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, not a measure that makes the law even more vague and draconian. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/heads-internet-dangerous-zombie-cfaa-expansion-bill-back
