this is how multiplayer games treat your data while demanding you install kernel level secureboot rootkits to ‘prevent cheating’ lol

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup.

This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

What your Meta smart glasses record doesn’t stay on your smart glasses, ‘data labeling’ contractors say Meta contractors say they’ve been tasked with reviewing highly sensitive videos captured by the company’s smart glasses.

NEW: Contractors for Meta say they've been tasked with reviewing smart glasses footage in order to train the company's AI.

The contractors say they've seen videos showing wearers having sex, undressing & using the bathroom.

Game 7, SendouQ finale, Overtime... Phew...

Lots of academics I really respect are highlighting this misunderstanding, which I’ve apparently also fallen prey to.

But there’s an important point here:

What did Carney think laymen would take away from his speech when he spoke of taking a sign out of a window in the face of a bullying regime?

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Here the result of the Ein Yabrud quarry #paleostream. An important locality from the Cretaceous of Palestine. While mostly famous for it's marine snakes and early mosasauroids, beautiful fish fossils and rich invertebrate fauna are completing this picture!

#compsplatoon A request: please call out genAI in team branding when you see it from your peers. Even better if event TOs have the resources to remove the "art", or prevent those teams from playing unless it's removed.

I keep seeing more and more crop up despite the general anti-AI sentiment here.

As an artist in the splatoon community i agree with this so much. To the people who are considering using or are already using AI branding, remember that it will always look cheap and fake unlike even the shoddiest art you can make in paint, and it will reflect negatively on your overall brand

Thanks Cajus 🫡

Haven: Stopping AI Art Theft & Surveillance Social media that prevents AI from stealing your art, your biometrics, and your privacy.

I’m not even sponsored, I just want this to be a real thing that actually works and to be able to post my videos on a platform not owned by pro-demontech oligarchs

www.kickstarter.com/projects/hav...

Cool thing I learned about today:

Haven would be an Anti-AI, anti-surveillance social media, that would monetize its creators fairly and go out of its way to promote art and real creators, and rival YouTube and other platforms

Their kickstarter is linked below for those interested in the project ⬇️

Alternatives for Things Thread 🧵

List of apps/services/etc. that you should consider swapping to! Will forget things/have bias

FOSS = free and open source software

I'll start with Discord, but I don't think anything looks solid enough yet? Worth waiting a bit to see what looks best to move to
