Was looking up why Amazon is now hiding exact purchases in email all the sudden (saying you ordered "a book" and not which one) and theory is it's because your emails are being scanned by respective email client (Google using them to train Gemini, serve ads), and Amazon wants to solely own that data

I checked the discord, and yeah, straight up people encouraging to not disclose AI usage to not get shit for it. "Hide the poop knife you used for the sandwiches you serve everyone, otherwise people will complain you made them eat poop"

More and more archipelago worlds are being vibe coded and I am just losing any and all interest in keeping up to date with it. I don't even feeling like maintaining my own ones anymore

Patty Murray and Chuck Schumer decide to strike a “bipartisan” deal with … checks notes … Susan Collins to fund the Trump regime through December which appears to not to any include any safeguards against Trump’s meddling with midterm elections.

Screenshots of posts from Burgess Everett on X: “The Senate's CR deal is out from Sens. Collins and Murray. Funds government through Dec. 11 Bill blocks a new rule that would allow the admin to cancel grants to, for example, blue states Collins says the bill "prevents the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s proposed rule regarding federal financial assistance from taking effect" Murray: "his bill blocks implementation of OMB’s corrupt new grants rule for the duration of the CR. The proposed rule would systematically politicize federal funding and allow Trump officials to cancel grants at any time for any reason." “Bill also extends surface transportation programs through Dec. 11 (was set to expire Sept. 30 Also has health care extenders Bottom line is this is going to kick a ton of stuff to Congress's lame duck”

Google appears to be in an active race to destroy all remaining goodwill the company once had. They've almost entirely destroyed search and now they're screwing with Google Maps.

I used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:

The firestorm of age-verification laws have done almost nothing to prevent minors from accessing porn online. What they have done is give the state a powerful tool to harass speech they don't like by declaring it pornographic or "harmful to minors."

I dont know if this is brazen or it has just become so normalized that people who use the stuff don't see it anymore but the text that opens the final paragraph on the right on the big slides for your sdcc presentation is WILD

According to chatgpt written in the Avatar movie presentation.

Chapter 5 once again has its own Dog Check screen, this time being a direct reference to the "Monokuma Theater" sequences from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. The song for the Dog Check, which is titled "Inukuma", also is a reference to the song "Mr. Monokuma's lesson"

Each chapter of Deltarune has its own "Dog Check" screen, a Dog Check appears when you try to load into an inaccessible room or when your save file is corrupted.

Algorithm update. Bunch of people have been doing this exact kind of thing to get around TikTok censorship and it’s wild. Feels like an analogue horror series

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

The Freedom Fuel stations were put together by a pair of serial grifters who stole $667,000 worth of gas from a distributor five years ago, a private credit sponsor, and an energy trader tied up in multiple Trump schemes and profiting heavily off the war in Iran. prospect.org/2026/07/20/k...

How can Freedom Fuel afford to sell gas for $3.47 a gallon? That’s the wrong question to ask.

"There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole fucking country. The whole fucking administration, every single fucking day.”

BOISE, Idaho — After May Pollard died on a late-January morning, a detective asked her parents a question: Had anyone wanted to hurt her? “A lot of America,” her mother answered. Less than an hour earlier, Elyse Thorpe had found her daughter’s body inside their home, called 911 and sobbed as she tried to revive her. May, an avid poet and gamer, had been struggling and increasingly withdrawn. Now, at 16, she was gone. And the detective, from the Boise Police Department, wanted to know what Elyse meant. May’s father answered instead. “There is a huge amount of animosity, every single day, thrown at trans kids,” Joseph Pollard replied, voice rising. “The whole f-----g country. The whole f-----g administration, every single f-----g day.”

Everyone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

My pre-write turned out to be 70% a. CDC's comms have been wildly irresponsible; b. If I couldn't prove lettuce is not from Taylor Farms, I wouldn't eat it; c. Taylor Farms gave MAGA Inc. $1M USD less than a week after FDA postponed food traceability rules. www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...
