What an absolute farce. Would be a shame if someone put all of this in a cryptographically secure, tamper-proof repository now wouldn't it?

I'm going to create an alternative crowdsourced, database of YouTube video content to help people avoid The Very Unhealthy Algorithm, and limit their search results by preference on AI. I'm calling it HumanTube. Actually wait, I also need ideas for the name. Cheers

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

With the various ICE apps under pressure to be removed from app stores, why in hell aren't these apps just Web Apps (PWAs)?
It's the super power of the web. You *can't* block it.
And before you say "but apps are better" stop. We're not debating tech here we're debating free speech.

Absolutely gutted. How the BBC has fallen
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

[1/2] Primal Scream 'antisemitism' at Roundhouse London.
> In a statement, a CST spokesperson said: "Entwining a Star of David with a swastika implies that Jews are Nazis and risks encouraging hatred of Jews."
It looks to me that this is very clearly a commentary on Israel's genocide, not Jews.

Today, we're opening up Seams Alpha (seams.so), a social web annotation built in the Atmosphere. We're hoping it helps with collective sense-making.
This is just the start, there's still lots to do!
We'd love if you tried it with us.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Sha1-Hulud and stuff like this is just showing us how utterly ill-suited most people's foundations are for development. No sandboxing (as we're used to with mobile OSes), no transactional filesystems (no, Git doesn't count)…
Not sure if this is real, but ask yourself who benefits from this risk?
