/that it was the start of a more regular pattern of behavior which would be quite upsetting!

I have multiple browser profiles, which probably explains it. I am reassured that it's only once per install and tied to something specific (updates)! Might be worth indicating that somewhere if it's not already...that was not obvious to me on getting the page and I was worried it was a seasonal ad.

Sorry for the Interruption, but RECAP and Free Law Project Need Your Support. Where did this tab come from? You use the RECAP extension. RECAP is maintained by Free Law Project, a small non-profit that works to improve the American judicial system. Maintaining RECAP is difficult and expensive and we sometimes pop open a tab like this to ask for your support. If RECAP has saved you time or money or if you believe in the work we do, we hope you will support us. Sorry to interrupt you. The RECAP extension you have installed is maintained by Free Law Project, a non-profit that works to improve the justice system. This is our website. Once each year we ask for donations so we can continue hosting and enhancing RECAP. The more support you give, the more we are able to do. We need your support to continue enhancing and maintaining the RECAP system. If RECAP has saved you money or if you believe in what we do, please help us with a tax-deductible donation today.

This is what the page looks like, for those who haven't gotten it.

@free.law, I love and value your work, but randomly popping up a tab and grabbing focus in my browser (twice today, with no way to turn it off?!?) to tell me to give money to RECAP is a betrayal of user trust.

Absent more, an employee’s resignation does not cancel her employer’s authorization. The reason: an employee’s resignation is not her employer’s action. It is her own. An employee cannot rescind the permission her employer gave her any more than an employee can provide permission her employer has not given. Only her employer can do that. After all, whether an employee is authorized to access her employer’s computer “depends on actions taken by the employer.” Id. Thus, absent prior agreement, an employee’s resignation does not revoke her employer’s authorization. Her employer must perform some affirmative act to revoke it.1 Accord Facebook, Inc. v.

The Unitary Executive Notes on how people know things

Could there possibly be implications for any of the rest of my thinking? No, that would be a wild conclusion. casssunstein.substack.com/p/the-unitar...

This looks really good!

This time we expanded it out to not just Skamania (caught up in that WA public records lawsuit over our cameras) but neighboring OR counties considering it. I have the jitters! Over 80 people interested on the rsvp, omg.

...having "Ramsayer co-author" in your byline is some wild shit.

Plastic bin in the fridge.

This is what government censorship actually looks like: defunding entire fields, deporting researchers, and quite effectively chilling speech that helps people understand how our information systems are being exploited and calls out powerful people and platforms for their bullshit.

"Metacognitive processes are necessary to comply with Rule 11" is a phrase I expect litigators to start using as a diss on opposing counsel immediately

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began The granting of patents and trademarks to foods and words from the global south is part of a long colonial grab. It’s time to realise we share what we cook, and what we call it

This opinion from E.D. Mich. on Rule 11 and generative A.I. is an absolute *banger*. law.justia.com/cases/federa...
The court specifically explains why the problem of A.I. is not limited to "hallucinating" case citations. Even plausible legal "analysis" *from an A.I.* is trouble!

Everyone should own a Bingo Cage and other gifts for the party people and organizers in your life

It’s an incredible success of ADA+IDEA: many disabled students can make it to college now. We should be thrilled to have student pool that better reflects society and shows the benefits of inclusion and accommodations in k-12. Celebrate that we have so many disabled students! This is a win.

Oh thank god, Kirby wrote the thing. The problem is cop shit (in education).

Hi! I'm a human who has been more than casually involved in education during the last decade and I don't know multiple people who have gotten dubious diagnoses to get extra time on exams.

Just in case you want to skip the word literally in the future.

It is amazing how much elite attorneys' views on the world are shaped by the abusive structures that many of them work in.
