So the JKF Jr is not only going to harm people in the USA with his anti-vaccine idiocy, he’s now going to harm people worldwide because Moderna is now no longer going to research vaccines for infectious disease that kill people. While I don’t particularly like pharma companies and their business practices, this is pure stupidity.

Learning about Chat Control. Encrypting data. Ditching age-verified platforms.

Each action = collective power

The threat isn't tech being too powerful. It's people not knowing they have power to fight back..

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

When I said that your discord clone doesn’t need e2ee, I got a lot of comments along the lines of “ then how would I use it to organize the revolution!” The answer is: you don’t. If you have more users than can comfortably share a Signal chat and hence want to use discord or something like it, you cannot POSSIBLY be vetting all of them to a high standard of trust. Your logs ARE leaking. End-to-end encryption between more people than can fit around a dinner table is pointless.

This article confirms what I already assumed, that “open source [information sense, not code sense] intelligence gathering on social media” includes, for the US government, asking for links to join groups that may *feel* private. My own discord has literally like a thousand idlers. It would be very *lucky* if none of them were logging for potentially nefarious purposes! And I remind the active users of this occasionally.

Meta aims to introduce
facial recognition to its
smart glasses
while its biggest critics are distracted,
according to a report from The New York Times.

In an internal document reviewed by The Times, Meta says it will
💥launch the feature “during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

The document is from last May and reportedly describes the new “Name Tag” feature
that would allow smart glasses wearers to identify people using Meta’s built-in AI assistant.
The New York Times reports that Meta initially planned to launch the feature during a conference for the blind before releasing it more widely -- but that never panned out.
Meta, which makes smart glasses with Ray-Ban and Oakley, reportedly plans to launch the feature as soon as this year.

Every second day, I see this dashing old guy in one of the sofas of the Grand Pac hotel lobby scratching stuff into a thick notebook that looks more like a ledger with graph paper lines, this morning he looked up as I was coming out, so I asked him what his new book was about, we've never met, but he just has that writer's vibe to him.

He said he was not a writer, but a retired biologist. I asked him what he was writing then, or drawing, it was full of little doodles, he said he wasn't writing, he's keeping busy trying to crack some old ideas he's had during his time working at the university and I so I asked something like "Don't you need a microsope or a computer or something", he said that no, paper is fine.

Mitchell Hashimoto releases Vouch to solve the slop PR problem github.com/mitchellh/vouch

Historically, the high effort required to contribute to FLOSS acted as a natural filter for quality. AI tools have now removed that barrier, allowing low quality, "plausible-looking" contributions to flood projects. To adapt, open source must shift from an implicit trust model to an explicit trust model, where known maintainers vouch for contributors to ensure quality and accountability.

🤔 As I become more and more of an Old, I have come to realize how much people need to move on and get over themselves.

If you don't like the Super Bowl Halftime show, then who cares?

It was clear to me that the messaging was going to the right places and while I know zero Spanish, I still enjoyed the ride. Was it my favorite? Does. Not. Matter.

It was a success despite you and me.

A win is a win is a win.

It's a real pity that we don't have a server with this kind of disk space sitting around, because work could easily provide the hosting and probably the bandwidth (certainly 1G, that's easy for us, but we probably don't want to give it direct 10G bandwidth so more would be either host ratelimits or bonding multiple 1G links to get 2G or 3G).

If someone in Toronto has the server but not the hosting/bandwidth, feel free to get in touch with me.
