According to a statement from Andre Jones,
chief people officer at the Baltimore Banner,

The Fulu Foundation, a group founded by repair advocate and YouTuber Louis Rossmann, which pays out bounties to people who can remove user-hostile features on connected devices, is now offering a potential payout of $10,000 to encourage hackers and tinkerers to disable software features that require Ring devices to send data to Amazon.

The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide
to cease processing passport applications,
-- disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on
and that has run smoothly for years.
The agency, which regulates U.S. passports, began issuing cease and desist orders to not-for-profit libraries in late fall,
informing them they were no longer authorized to participate in the Passport Acceptance Fac…

This is pretty much why I hate the two party system. You can talk to someone and they're CLEARLY a republican, and then they're like "and yes I'm a Democrat!"
I didn't vote for Eric Adams because HE WAS A FUCKING REPUBLICAN. It's not "vote blue no matter who", because "blue" is meaningless if republicans can wear that color.

including the arson attack at the home of Pennsylvania’s governor, Josh Shapiro,
and the killing of two Israeli Embassy aides last spring outside a Jewish museum in Washington.
More than half said that they had changed their behavior out of fear.
