The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.

Kids this is a reminder to collect physical copies of your favorite media. Corporations will axe your favorite show/movie/book in front of its family and make it a felony to retrieve it. Have a library.

Muting the fedi “comrades” spamming the social equivalents of flat earther hot takes seems to have improved my inner peace and outlook on humanity when browsing. I know they still exist, but now they have about the same effect on me here as they do IRL - absolutely none.
Feels good man.

Always funny to see Americans generalise Europe as a whole, as if it was another united states. Pick any two random European countries and they will have bigger cultural, historical and language differences than the US, Canada and Mexico have between them. Asking someone about their opinion on Europe is like asking them about their opinion on Earth.

Twitter was a clusterfuck well before Elon
"Twitter didn't monitor employee computers at all, it was not uncommon for employees to install spyware on work devices"
"Twitter does not have separate development, test, staging, and production environments. At least 5,000 employees had privileged access to production systems"
"In 2020, Twitter had security incidents serious enough they had to be reported to the federal government on an almost weekly basis."
