Welcome to Fawkes news, a blog of crazy shit I find on the internet and update very very rarely. This is the second blog entry, as the previous got so long that spacehey just wouldn't let me update it any more.

If any of you have ever been on the fence about caring about privacy because you don't feel it affects you, I highly recommend giving this a read. It explains in excruciating detail and with citations how the data that is extracted from you and others is used against you and others.

Released this month, the department of homeland security has reaffirmed that the government literally spies on your phones without proper warrants. The literal name of the document is "Secret Service and ICE Did Not Always Adhere to Statute and Policies Governing Use of Cell-Site Simulators." Could it get more obvious that we are all fucked and in hell world? (Summary here)

The united states is really and truly just getting worse, isn't it?
I thought for a really long time that all the trump era nonsense was just reactionary to the events leading up to the 2016 election, with the problems at the US border providing a scary mirror for xenophobes reflecting islamic imigration into europe here, but things just haven't gotten better. The modern day republican party has gone nuts and democratic politicians are only a few feet behind them in the crazy line.

Since when are there yellow checkmarks on twitter? I feel so out of the loop. (a fact I discovered while reading this.)
Also I'm getting tired of AI again. I thought it was overhyped when the whole ordeal was starting up a few months ago, got interested when people started open sourcing models, and now I'm back to being bored with it, but with a side of pessimism about where the future will bring us.
I think I'll get back to being interested in it when competent language models get open sourced, but rn that's the secret sauce of the industry, so I doubt it's happening soon.

I was reading this and it appeared to be a pretty disinteresting biography until I got to the line "Fuller was a serial philanderer, though he remained married to Hewlett until the end of both their lives in 1983. (He apparently willed himself into a fatal cardiac arrest while she lay unconscious in a hospital out of fear that she was 'worried to go' without him.)" THEY JUST MENTIONED THAT HE "willed himself into a fatal cardiac arrest" AND THEN THEY MOVE ON.

Also want to know some fun trivia? If a police officer shoots your dog, they don't call it murder, they call it destruction of property. Just look at the language they use to navigate around the fact that someone's pet got shot. (image from here.)

From Robocast v. Youtube,
"Defendants are ORDERED to identify the lawyer responsible for this motion. The lawyer, by January 3, 2023, is ORDERED to submit an explanation of why the lawyer thought this was a justified motion. When I see the explanation, I will consider whether subsequent proceedings are appropriate."
This is the closest thing a court room has to this scene.

EFF's year in review is a really long but really good read.
Also while I'm on the EFF, Fuck the UN, Fuck the fed, you should disable the tracking id on your phone, and with a new year, I'd like to remind everyone that federal judges found that universities requiring "room scans" for remotely proctored tests is unconstitutional.
Finally, an excerpt from this article,
"When the Chinese government ordered Apple to remove working VPNs from the App Store, Apple complied. When the Chinese government ordered Apple to install backdoors in its cloud backup service, Apple complied. When the Chinese government ordered Apple to break AirDrop so it couldn’t be used to organize anti-government demonstrations, Apple complied. On the other hand, when the FBI ordered Apple to add backdoors to its devices, Apple refused - and rightly so. "

THIS IS LITERALLY FUCKING LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR BAKED INTO AN ANIME SLICE OF LIFE ???????
All the side characters are literally agents with the sole purpose of keeping the main character entertained so that she doesn't simply lose interest in maintaining the fabric of reality. This is like if Jason gained consciousness and realized that he has to continue being a character in my life or else he'd stop existing because reality is an outward projection of mine.

I only just caught up with all of my news since the election cycle, so here's your drug news.
In the cringe category,
North Dakota, South Dakota, & Arkansas voted no to Cannabis legalization.
California voted yes to keeping their flavored tobacco ban.
Oregon previously voted yes to allowing the consumption of psilocybin under supervision, but is having a hard time getting the ball rolling on the "psilocybin service centers" that are core to the plan. The state, despite decriminalising posession of basically every drug is also threatening to crack down hard on flavored tobacco of all things.
Biden is still being an ass about federal weed reform and congress only just passed the first ever federal law that would make it easier to obtain weed(, but only for research lmao).

Maryland Becomes the 20th State To Legalize Recreational Marijuana and Missouri the 21st
Colorado Voters Approve Decriminalization of 5 Natural Psychedelics.
A really interesting report on how Washington State is doing really well in displacing the black market for legal drugs where other states fail.

Crypto investors L again. I am a big proponent of crypto and I think it's the future, but I also think that 99% of all crypto ventures are awful and the only way things will get better is when all the morons get burnt badly enough that they stop trusting the same very types of actors who cause trouble in regular finance.

Every now and then the publication I rely on for court news goes way out of my depth and I'm just left reading like "what the fuck does this mean?" Like I get the big picture but couldn't put all the pieces together if I had to explain this to someone else.
Dec 14, 2022:
Poll: Would you all prefer the current format where I add about one article per day when I update fawkes news, even though I'm really just lying about what got published on which date, or would you prefer that when I update fawkes news I just put the date of the update and dump everything in one section? I feel the former makes the blog more comprehensible as a whole, but the latter would make it easier to come and go and know where you actually are in terms of new posts.

This is awful news. CRYPTO SHOULD NEVER BE AN INVESTMENT. Fuck the scum who want to centralize crypto and it's institutions. The crypto space makes me so sad because we had such an opportunity and then braindead "investors" allowed themselves to become the perfect bait for scammers. I celebrate every crashing token because those that remain at the end will be the tokens that can actually stand on their own two feet.

(This message is from when I got a whole bunch of entries done in one day and hit spacehey's max post length, so it didn't end up getting posted till Nov 28 because I've been too busy to play that game of catch up a second time.)
Everything from Sep 27 onward (between both blog entries) is new with this post.
It's been a while, hasn't it. I've missed doing this, but it took me a really long time to get back into a normal schedule after moving to Cyprus for the semester abroad I'm currently doing. This would have come out faster, but I decided that I wanted to read through my entire news feed for the time I was absent to fill you all in, and that took a REALLY REALLY LONG TIME. Makes me sad that I don't have more hours in the day, as in the long term, this sort of reblogging that I do is kinda unsustainable.
Anyway, life's good, I'm happy. Hopefully the news will be more regular till I leave for the United States again at least.
Bonus: 1.7 MILLION DOLLARIE DOOS

Personal fan theory that this article is just a lightly vieled attempt to gaslight someone into thinking they didn't bite them. "You keep saying that you had that mark examined and the examiner said I BIT YOU, BUT WE BOTH KNOW THAT FORENSIC BITE MARK ANALYSIS DOESN'T EXIST, JOSH."

This article spends a whole bunch of time basically pointing out the issue of people deliberately giving kids THC candy is basically unsubstantiated, but I spent the whole time wondering why it would be a crazy huge concern in the first place. Like the worst thing that could happen is that your kid has a horrid green out, which is bad, but it's not gonna like kill them or anything. It just seems very very very overblown to me.

They also wrote a second brief opposing their first one but didn't actually send it to the supreme court.

It is hilarious to me that basically all legal scholars think that Biden's student debt cancellation is unconstitutional, but everyone is having a really hard time coming up with a case that can prove it has standing to sue.

Was watching this and heard the girl say that the end goal for sex work is "decriminalization" and it reminded me that our current political climate has had such an orwellian distortion of language that we forget that legalization is not the same as something being decriminalized. IF YOU ARE IN FAVOR OF ANY POLITICAL MOVEMENT, BE WARY OF ANY POLITICIAN WHO EVER EVER SAYS THE WORDS DECRIMINALIZE.

Bonus: New minecraft update makes it basically more viable to farm bamboo than any other type of tree farming.
These are end times.
And you can farm bamboo with flying machines where you generally need tnt dupers or manual labor for tree farms
Trees really fell off
Like I can't emphasize enough how much of the minecraft grind is changed forever due to this

Pretty bonkers article about how the current trend of Police agencies sharing licence plate data across jurisdictions could accidetally lead to law enforcement in states where abortion is legal to send incriminating evidence to states which have banned abortion.

that is not a caplet. That is a capsule. Amateur

Also, that capsule is most likely clindamycin or amphetamine-dextroamphetamine. It's hard to tell since the imprint cannot be clearly seen.

they clearly mention monero as being a security focused coin in the article. i imagine they are focusing on this fella moreso as an example of a more secretive coin to talk about the concerns governments have of such coins and their progression as new ones arise, and less so to cover the darkfi coin itself.
Report Comment
Monero is only mentioned once, near the bottom, which I'd call the opening of the article ignoring it. Bait and switch to keep you engaged. Also they mention monero only to immediately dismiss it because the new darkfi will have "perfect blockchain systems that integrate next-generation functionality and secrecy in a single system," or "ones that will allow people to form organizations that collectively raise and distribute money in total secrecy." Notice they don't mention those features by name because they're not real. The only instance of monero being mentioned is to pretend it doesn't have capabilities it does and I stand by my initial assessment.

concerning the crypto L,
i agree that it is a wicked neat possibly future replacement to currency, assuming the coin(s) are implemented with specific attributes, but the part that always gets me apprehensive is how instead of a currency with certain features, it is often used by people as an investment platform. the very idea of holding your coins in a central place (dare i say a bank?) defeats the whole purpose i feel, and the reason they keep it on these exchanges is because that's how it becomes convenient to trade.
the whole culture around crypto is lame and wrong, long story short.

From a completely absolute perspective, any carceral system is still immoral. From a relative view, yeah they seem like better prisons.
