ChezHack's new home in OpenSim

by J.C.

Hey everyone, I've been experimenting in existential property acquisition and development. And would like to invite you all to check it out and put on a hard hat and build a shovel to continue iterating with me on it's development. If any of you are familiar with Second Life, this is basically an open source version of that running on an Simulator instance on my server actually at ChezHack. So for those of you that have been here, or wanted to be, you can "teleport" here thru the intertubes. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/HyperGrid If anyone is already well versed in SL and/or OpenSim please let yourself be known, as I could use some tips in getting things dialed in. Also if you're interested in building the ultimate hackerspace in cyberspace, this could be a good way to start. -- ThanX, ;+) https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/%C3%9F%C3%AA%C3%A3%C2%B5

We should invite Marcia and the EFF folks out to publicize this important corporate socially responsible technology report launch.

We review their answers and give stars to companies with industry-leading policies and practices, which helps privacy-conscious users make informed decisions and encourages the companies to step it up. > > But the real power behind Who Has Your Back? comes from you. EFF's strong and principled community pushes companies to take privacy seriously, and after three years, we're proud to report that even more companies have moved towards instituting best practices when it comes to standing up for users’ privacy from the government. > > We’re proud to be fighting for users’ rights, made possible by donations from individuals like you.

sudo room withdrawal symptoms

by Romy Ilano

ok, i have been away from sudoroom for a full two nights now i miss sudoroom! we have org nerds that work really hard to keep the projects running. that stuff is hard. it is the only place i've hung out at where there are serious women hackers. that is so rad after all these years you bastards are finally making me consider installing linux on my laptop. not even my ex boyfriend could talk me into it! i like that there is pushback against too many overly commercial projects at sudoroom. it creates a safe space. i do not get this safe feeling at places that are too profit-oriented. it is like eliminating recess at school and leads to burnout people actually consider alternatives to current economics models in a serious way, which I really appreciate even though my views are often different it is a place where people forgive each other there is a hella ton of homemade vegan food at the meetings! that is so cool. we make it too. when i lived in the south bay i felt like my brain was dying. students there did not really go to demonstrations. they did not think that much about politics or economics. it was hard to get them to think much about anything. i'm not sure why this happened but i think it's a structural thing. i'm very lucky to talk to people at sudoroom who are structurally not mentally destroyed and who still think and feel passionate
