Governments around the world are demanding backdoors into encrypted data.
🚪What are backdoors?
🔒How do they undermine our right to privacy and security?
🛡️What can you do to protect our right to privacy?
Spend #GlobalEncryptionDay learning the importance of protecting encryption 👇

Xbox president Sarah Bond appears to confirm that the next-gen Xbox will be a hybrid PC + console. “The next-gen console will be a very premium and high-end curated experience. You're starting to see some of the thinking we have in this handheld…” youtu.be/yDmwJ7tuoD8?...

Trump destroying the White House is a pretty spot on presidential legacy.

We call it like we see it: the entire push around Bill C-2 and its little sibling C-12 is about pleasing President Trump.
Not about the national interest of Canada. Not what Canadians actually want. Our privacy, our rights, and our values deserve better than this!

Call me crazy but I think my web browser should primarily browse the web and not much else.
@zakZak :1password: Blasphemy!
I can't imagine a bigger privacy nightmare than a browser created by an AI company.
Except maybe a browser created by a company who's primary income is from advertising.
Can I ask a favour?
If you see someone who is asking for help using this place, and if no one else is helping them, could you tag me into the conversation and/or link to my website https://fedi.tips?
I'm trying to provide unofficial tech support for people using Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. I'm especially keen to help new people who want easy-to-understand advice, but they won't see me and I won't see them unless someone tags me.
Thanks 🙏

Sometimes it's hard to be a privacy advocate. You can explain how the right to privacy is foundational to democracy and still see people's eyes glaze over. It makes it challenging to provide resources when you're not even sure that anyone wants to engage with them.
Idk, I know it's not entirely their fault, but purely from an advocacy standpoint it makes it hard to know what is worth putting energy into.

One Ava quirk I enjoy is the two-step process of getting out of bed. She spills out of bed and leans her front half on the bookshelf and stares at me from above.
She does this for several minutes before she’s fully awake and ready to come down among the commoners.
What could go wrong with a cloud-connected bed?

You just hook the output up to anything that can consume an `Rv<uint<8>>`. For example a UART driver or UDP streamer
(I think it works at least, my one test case does do the right thing but I haven't tried it in hardware on account of it being 10pm)

Cursed AI filesystem idea
Instead of saving your text files, it compresses them by generative summaries then regenerates them from summaries them when you need to read them.
Instead of saving your pictures, it generates a textual description of the picture then generates the pictures from the textual description when you open them.
Tempted to build it as a commentary on the state of AI startups.

Every warning sign has a backstory.
