Dubious relation to the pirate party now, but possibly compatible causes & reading
- Keep Android Open
- Check gaming compatibility on Linux: ProtonDB & Are We Anti-Cheat Yet
- Most games, give or take effort of setup, do work on Linux. Option overload, troubleshooting, roughly maintained documentation, and a handful of games that refuse to work are why the idea of most games not working on Linux still exists.
- Coffeezilla on Youtube
- Techdirt.
More interesting outlinks,
- Privacy is Marketing. Anonymity is Architecture. - if you care about privacy, stop collecting information you're probably going to lose

Deflock your life
- deflock.me - find known roadway surveillance cameras
- Have I Been Flocked? - check if your car is known to be under this surveillance
- alpr.watch - known instances of this surveillance being discussed, and upcoming events
- All links are a community effort, if something was missed, add :)
Why is Flock a garbage company, deserving this sort of callout?
- Flock’s Aggressive Expansions Go Far Beyond Simple Driver Surveillance from ACLU
- How Cops Are Using Flock Safety's ALPR Network to Surveil Protesters and Activists from the EFF
- ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows from 404 Media
- Flock Uses Overseas Gig Workers to Build Its Surveillance AI from Wired
- Georgia Police Chief Charged With Using License Plate Readers to Stalk and Harass People from US News
- The list is vast, you can find more from a routine search
A useful way to punch back: multiple courts have found flock roadway cameras to be public information. Submit public information requests alongside any other complaints about them. These have a useful chilling effect as the state is less than pleased to share the dystopian fruits of its labor. For private businesses the best you've got is complain and avoid unless you have better recourse in your state/community.
Age verification is awesome
Rule of law
Here's what happens when you're a rich sob.
Here's what happens if you're a poor.
Remember, its justice for the people who make the money, and the middlemen. Not for the consumer, or the people who actually make the things.
