    Looks like Apple &amp;amp; Google are playing hard ball with &amp;quot;security&amp;quot; to lock out competition. 🚫 Their hardware attestation APIs ban secure OSes like GrapheneOS and force a mobile duopoly. Now, new reCAPTCHA rules could lock desktop users out entirely too, unless they scan a QR code from a certified phone. 📱➡️💻 Governments and EU seem to be mandating this, cementing the monopoly under the guise of safety. Full breakdown: https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsys3r5d3n4lakapzrd7paac...

    I too cheered! Facebook et. al. had it coming, didn&amp;#39;t they? The fallout from this could actually be very, very bad. I didn&amp;#39;t appreciate the detail. https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/26/everyone-cheering-the-social-media-addiction-verdicts-against-meta-should-understand-what-theyre-actually-cheering-for/

    I saw a post last week about form data collection that I can&amp;#39;t find...... and I&amp;#39;ve been tasked to develop a form to capture volunteer data for a group I work with..... I hope I&amp;#39;ve got things right, I&amp;#39;m certain that it&amp;#39;s orders of magnitude better than the Word document that preceeded it! ;) The Age 18+ choice triggers some conditional, additional collection later in the process. Please BOOST as feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks DRAFT form...
