  • As an out and proud gay man… I’m kinda with the city council on this one.

    I’m curious what flags that “represent the international character” means, but otherwise it seems like they’re only allowing official government flags on government property and banning everything else. That seems fair.

    Representation is nice, but I don’t need to see a pride flag hanging from every corner to feel seen. The only thing the government owes me is my civil rights, liberties, and basic human dignity. Slapping rainbows all over everything is just kinda performative lip-service, and is frankly cringy half the time.

    Also, fuck the misleading clickbaity title of this article.



  • Important to note the “done and dusted” quote in the headline of this article (and most of the rest of the “content”) isn’t from anyone at any government agency. It comes from a guy who runs a “data encryption start-up” and is shilling his own product. Most of the “news” being covered here is just speculation from this one guy.

    The only “reversed course” from the government, as alluded to in the article, is CISA encouraging government employees to use E2EE messaging since our telecom infrastructure is basically perma-pwn’d by the Chinese.

    Government intelligence agencies would still VERY MUCH like to have backdoors in this encryption and there is nothing to indicate that has changed.
