  • Not bad because of that but many of the donations going to isreal fits some larger patterns i have picked up on since i started to pay attention to the gaza war.

    It started with realizing how involved aipac is in a us election cycle. The “about us” information does not mask things

    “WE STAND with those who stand with Israel. The AIPAC PAC is a bipartisan, pro-Israel political action committee. It is the largest pro-Israel PAC in America and contributed more resources directly to candidates than any other PAC. 98% of AIPAC-backed candidates won their general election races in 2022.”

    Somehow that’s not foreign interference.

    Then i became aware of how all the major tech companies have additional offices in “Silicon Wadi” Which is some kind of clone of Silicon Valley owner by Isreal.

    But add one very major nuance. My issue is with the Isreal state and corporations that reside their, the global organized entities. It is not with its people or the Jewish religion. I am somewhat fascinated by the origin of Abrahamic religion and them being the oldest makes them a truly fascinated culture to learn from.



  • My workplace configures edge and chrome by default, were very office365 integrated and support chrome for some dates specific thing.

    Now i am privileged with local admin powers so i have firefox. Still the integrations with edge run deep so i still have to use it lots of times. There are plans for copilot which is one of the dummest llm bots (opinion) but is again catered to edge.

    I will however never use chrome (anymore). Google was the second tech giant i dropped after facebook. They cannot redeem themselves for destroying the web (opinion). I rarely use search engines anymore but i rather use bing and bing sucks. (duckduck is also based on bing)

    Sorry for the rant, but that was relieving. Arch btw.


  • So now only criminals will be able to steal peoples cars. Well done.

    They wont even be banned (which would be stupid) Its on the owner to proof they have it for legitimate reasons. The end result will mean the devices will be more hidden in everyday seeming devices. And if they do eventually ban them fully that legal local technological knowledge will be dragging behind criminal innovation.

    You want these devices out there to increase awareness of their existence and to pressure manufacturer to make their devices more safe.

    Example: Remember how Tesla can remote (un)lock cars? Exploit waiting to happen and the potential ban on encryption is going to make it so much worse.

    Ostrich politics.





  • For context:

    This bid is an attempt at a threat because it overvalued the perceived value of the non profit side of openai.

    Openai has a known perceived total value. (dont know how much exactly) Musk wants to lay the argument that by refusing his bid. Most of that value is in the non profits side and thus less in the for profit side.

    This is a threat because the profit side is where openai partners, like Microsoft have their stake. So its lowering the perceived monopoly money of those shareholders.

    Of course can be ignored. OpenAi has stated they can refuse on many other reasons unrelated to the bidding price.

    Also OpenAi is a fascist collaborator just like musk.

  • “When it detects a user may be under 18, Google will notify them that it has changed some of their settings and will offer information about how users can verify their age with a selfie, credit card, or government ID.”

    Selfies are useless as proof for young adults and people with a young face. No algorithm can tell a 17.11 yo from a 18 yo so it will flag every single one of them.

    This is a way to normalize handing over your details for the next generations. Nothing more.

    The good news isn that once teens figure out that other browsers and search engines don’t stop them from finding porn they might stick with them.
