Meta Pixel halts Android localhost tracking after disclosure : Zuckercorp and Yandex used localhost loophole to tie browser data to app users, say boffins

@zsk.bsky.social apologies if I'm one of many sharing this to you - have you seen this Meta back door story? Tracking billions of android phones, then quietly taking it off when the report was published: www.theregister.com/2025/06/03/m...

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

If you haven't seen it yet you really must. Well done mate!

The growth of UK charity Bluesky – May 2025 A deep dive into the charity sector’s use of X and Bluesky. Use it to help benchmark your use.

ICYMI last week, I've updated my look into how charities are using X and Bluesky.

Not necessarily this one, or in the piece, but a lot of hot takes feel more like gate keeping than actual valid reasons. "If you can't actually draw perfect mock up pencil sketches for your video story board to get your idea across then you're not good enough to do it" was a prime example

Such a great podcast

Got to be the giants head race with THE best medal known to man... and yes "it" spins

Sense and Sensibility, DeepSeek and Reasoning Hello and welcome to another edition of AI: Actionable Insights. This week we're talking about Reasoning models and DeepSeek R1 that generated a lot of headlines and a lot of headaches for investors.

This week we talk about the differences between openAI models, why you shouldn't trust some folks about DeepSeek and what is a reasoning model anyway? Plus the usual links to upcoming events. Enjoy! www.linkedin.com/pulse/sense-...

This has happened to me too. Also looking back at a could of past chats, my input has been changed into Welsh too

I just cannot get it right using 2025 as the current year. This is the actual future right? Ai, robots, drones at war, apocalyptic wildfires...

Surprise eviction in tonight's Traitors.

Currently discussing with a male friend why using AI photos on a dating site is or is not the same as using Snapchat/beauty filters. I made these for a presentation but I wouldn't use them on my dating profile. He would.

Life goals.

This is a really excellent paper from Italy that shows that austerity fuels far right support. Part of the nostalgia for the past that the populists drew on is a nostalgia for a visible and effective public service. 1/

Oh, this is a sneaky, bad-faith wheeze.

A lot of folks talk about "hyper-personalisation", I'm all for tailored messaging to groups... and I get re-targeting... is there any actual hard evidence for hyper-personalisation or good example/case studies out there?

This photo is about 2m tall. It's a beast.

I was 27 years old when I realised from the reactions of my work colleagues that's unicorns weren't real, when I mention I'm surprised I'd never even seen one in a zoo.

The IBM Quantum computer. Incredible looking piece of technology with golden pipes and wires

The quantum computer at IBM always stops me in my tracks. It's just such a beautiful looking piece of engineering.

And yeah if we’re REALLY trying to enjoy this app……stop posting stuff from Twitter/X here. It defeats the purpose of being on here to begin with.

WE DON’T WANNA SEE IT

Hurrah! I can now give up on the other place completely! 🥳

Screen shot of chatGPT conversation with the user part in Welsh

Well this is strange... went back into an old thread on chatGPT and apparently I spoke Welsh??

I cannot speak Welsh.
How could this happen? Curious.

Incredible how in the space of a week the usefulness and audience on here has accelerated. Had my account for a year and not much happened then boom. True tipping point stuff.

Well, Jaguar got so many folks rattled up didn't it. I do wonder if this will be London 2012 all over again. EVERYONE slated it. EVERYONE remembers it. Stood the test of time as being memorable & distinctive.
Do I/Did I like it, I don't know. Does that matter?
Maybe, just maybe we don't know yet.

We've had a couple of reports of severe localised winds in Bournemouth from this morning - no damage associated with them.

Any further information would be appreciated.

Internet meet Boe. She's a 9yo rescue that needed a solo indoor home who came to live with me last week.
She's still a bit nervous but settling in well.

Thanks @fibowler.bsky.social for the antics of Reg & @hollybrocks.bsky.social for Smol Paul + co that in part inspired me to get an older rescue.

Just a suggestion... hold onto your old Twitter/X handle after you leave. Set it to private, delete all old tweets if needed but don't close it.

I've now seen two accounts with popular handles resurrected by porn bots, that had been abandoned.

Now also as a starter pack - shout to be added: go.bsky.app/9VzsrJF
