Twitter/X and Reddit are forcing people to use official apps to access the sites. How do I, someone who doesn't want to give any of these companies my data, access posts other have made on these services?

So it was about preventing the enemies of the US from fixing the vulnerabilities US intelligence (that feels like an oxymoron with the current administration) is actively exploiting.

oh shit: someone who has actually read the report on the “jailbreak”. she‘s backing up Anthropic’s story that it’s nothing. they got fable to help fix some code with planted vulns www.lutasecurity.com/post/the-fab...

Not only considered it, but accepted it as the core reason. Greater tech literacy + empathy for others.

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Tell me you don't understand who AI is for without saying exactly that...

Don’t you think AI can be a huge help for people with no leverage?

I hope Australia does the same. Imagine a world where tech giants can influence global politics because of the information they have access to. Then think about how close we are to that reality...

Hey @scott.hanselman.com @troyhunt.com - do either of you have any suggestions how I can follow up for a response to a microsoft account recovery application that was submitted 7 days ago? Everything online says they respond in 24 hours, but my wife hasn't received any reply.

Lightning, a running robot developed by Chinese smartphone maker Honor, finished a 21-kilometer (13 mile) run in Beijing in a stunning 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by more than six minutes. https://cnn.it/4mLRxQ8

How long 'til Trump renames the Kennedy Space Center?

Why are we using 2.8K 3K and 4K values for screen sizes instead of megapixels?

While I doubt this is a result of the boycott against Telsa's Nazi-saluting CEO, its great to see the shift.

BYD sold 5,001 vehicles in Australia in January, a staggering 641% increase year-over-year, while Tesla managed just 501, leaving the American automaker in 24th place as Chinese brands continue their takeover of the Australian EV market. #BYD #Tesla /1

Might be controversial, but as a Discord user with a kid who wants to use it too, I am onboard with this.

if a multinational software corporation has to comply with many jurisdictions rules on what content they are allowed to serve to users, eventually a tipping point gets reached, and that complexity collapses to "everyone on the planet gets the most bubblewrapped version. we cbf tracking ts anymore"

#ICE (or anyone) pepper spraying some one like this when they pose no physical threat should be prosecuted as assault.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 7mo ago

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

"Self driving car" is a misnomer. These vehicles are driven by software running in data centres. They are drones in an automobile hive. They are computer driven cars but they don't do the computational work themselves.

#Hytale is amazing. That is all.

Google doesn't have a compelling alternative to Mac OS and is actively destroying the best feature that differentiates Android from iOS. Apple is more than safe for now.

Kelsey Hightower@kelseyhightower.com · 7mo ago

Google + Apple resulted in Google's search expanded reach. Now we're adding AI to the mix. Apple still controls distribution of the entire Apple ecosystem. Unless people stop using iPhones and Macs, then this is no different than any other Apple partnership including Google Maps and Intel chips.

The accounts the new, official #ICE account follows on #bluesky feels like when your insecure ex creates a new anonymous account to follow you and your friends to see what you're saying about them after everyone blocked them. bsky.app/profile/iceg...

Why is no one selling a robot lawn mower that looks like a Spice harvester? Or even a C&C tiberium harvester?

I haven't seen an Australian political response this spineless since John Howard agreed to follow George W Bush's invasion of the Middle East after 9/11. #auspol #Venezuela @albomp.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Albanese calls for ‘peaceful, democratic transition’ of power in Venezuela after US capture of Nicolás Maduro

Australian prime minister says government has ‘long held concerns about the situation’ in South American country

So Trump illegally bypassed Congress to use military force on a foreign nation, lied about the reason for attacking Venezuela,and abducted the President of Venezuela? How is he still in power?

I am certain something would change if Grok was used to create images that upset Elon Musk—images of Teslas or Space X rockets on fire, his partner or children in compromising scenarios, etc—and they were posted en-mass all over Twitter in the same way these harassment images are.

BeardedGenius@beardedgenius.bsky.social · 8mo ago

So we just accept this then? This is a legitimate use of technology going forward? This vile individual's account is just prompt after prompt asking Al to alter real-life images of women. The law needs to catch up with technology now - because we can't trust these tech companies to police themselves

Great way to look at it. A little friction now will encourage us to fix issues while they are still small.

Kristen Seversky@kr1573n.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I know there was a lot of noise around Google's auto opt-in for smart features and how inbox is garbage when they're disabled, but I've kicked myself to unsubscribe from so much bullshit since deciding to keep em off. Welcoming some tech friction in the new year to reduce passive noise.

The social media ban was bad enough, now the government is forcing search engines to censor search results unless you're logged in to an age verified account...

When does the "old enough to know better" kick in?

Its morons like this that are responsible for the global economy's current state
