"私はAI全般の話題が嫌いですが、それはAIを嫌っているからではなく、AIが過剰に宣伝されているからです。テクノロジー領域全体がAIになって、他のことは重要ではないかのように扱われているのですから。"

わかるー、超わかるー笑

RE: infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon

I’ve been following @pluralisticCory Doctorow for a while, but I’ve never seen him interviewed. This was absolutely captivating. Truly. There were like fifteen bites I wanted to capture.

Cory is super smart. And his brain seems to work at the same speed my ADHD brain does, which helps me absorb what he’s saying.

(Pro tip: watch in DuckDuckGo, @invidious, or @FreeTube to avoid tracking.)

Random thought: the centralization of authentication to a few big OAuth providers like MS and Google, combined with services that time out your cookies and force relogins every so often, makes phishing people so much easier.

Want someone's account creds? Just pop up something that looks like a ms or google login form, odds are they're so conditioned by login fatigue that they'll automatically type their creds and TOTP token into it.

期せずiOS26に更新されてしまったiPhoneの設定のお手伝い。ホームボタンのあるモデルで指紋の登録まではできましたが、その後のパスコードの設定で、入力の方法を見つけることができませんでした。これは厳しいなあ!! 次にはどなたか詳しい方につながりますように…

Dass wenige Menschen immer reicher bzw. überreich und viele Menschen immer ärmer werden, ist nicht nur eine Frage der Gerechtigkeit. Ein zentrales Druckmittel autokratischer Kräfte, Staaten ist das Ökonomische: Je weniger Personen besitzen, umso leichter können sie eingeschüchtert und gekauft werden.

I have at least 5 people I know who have vibe coded a thing, and then they're like, "ok, I got what I want now, but it's hard to make changes to it. Also...how do I make changes to it and then change it back if I don't like it?"

I'm like AAAAAaaaaaah! All this junk is just a POC.

Is it just me? Perhaps because I often have only one or two tabs open - I'm a compulsive tab closer. But the new UI in macOS Safari for handling tabs wastes space, is hard to use, and confuses me constantly about where the URL box is and such. I am unsure why it passed muster at product review time.

Perhaps it works well for others. But even if you always have more than one tab open, it still wastes vertical space.

So I took some grief yesterday about the "clickbait" headline on the brief Rust news I put up:

https://lwn.net/Articles/1049831/

In person, though, I've gotten far more grief for adding the "(successful)" parenthetical afterward — folks say the original was better.

Oh well, I've learned to be more careful with headlines now.

I'm against banning social media for under 16's. Just outright banning doesn't make something unavailable - just unregulated and not monitored. Alcohol and vapes are still common among under 16's - especial those that are vulnerable.
I am for under 16's not being allowed on corporate socials though - as they are toxic places which do provably screw with brain development in youth - because of that algorithmic nature.
I am considering pitching an idea to a local established non-profit that I sometimes work with, who run a number of local youth clubs across the region.
It is an idea of setting up a fediverse instance for 11-15 year olds. An account can only be made in person alongside being a member of a youth club -with parent / guardian consent.
It will not be federated to the general social web, and begin as a self-contained bubble - but with the idea of other regions creating the same thing and federating together.
It would be moderated by the same volunteers / employees that run the youth clubs and social services - who are fully vetted, and follow the protocols - which already also includes moderating each other.
Perhaps even somehow make it so the kids can't post on it during school hours, and after, perhaps, 10pm?
There would of course be a set of standards expectations, or community codes of conduct, like here in the Fedi. Perhaps also running regular fun things too, that get kids thinking creatively (like what happens at the clubs anyway).
There are of course many many issues with this idea, and I can't see it actually happening just like that.
Not only is there unlikely the right fedi project to accommodate needs, but things like the online safety act potentially blocking the ability to create safe community based social networks for youth. And I'm sure there are many other issues as to why this idea might not work either. Like, what happens when someone turns 16? Are they just kicked off?
However, I do know that corporate socials are bad - but not providing good safe alternatives when attempting to protect children, actually makes them more vulnerable and unsafe. We need a way to embrace them, not outcast them.
