@TheConversationUS well, with BigTech aligned with Trump and providing the infrastructure to practically any big organisation worldwide, attacks do not have to use exploits at all. Think about what happened to the International Criminal Court.

The U.S. attack on Venezuela included a hacking attack that shut down Caracas’s power grid.
Troops don’t have to physically attack power plants any more to destroy them.

With Iran still largely under an internet blackout, eyewitness testimony is key for understanding how angry demonstrations over economic hardship exploded into the biggest anti-government protests since 1979. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/22/world/society/iran-too-dangerous-hospital/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #iran #alikhamenei
@TheConversationUS yet, the AI that costs is not necessarily the same AI that brings savings
@TheConversationUS very useful from the perspective of me not being able to sleep all night due to my perceived success in scheduling a plan through my upcoming deadlines.

Two months without screens after a concussion brought better sleep, a longer attention span and a sense of mental quiet to a public health researcher.
The experience reminded her that genuine restoration comes from reducing mental demands—not just the illusion of rest.

Behind the Numbers: Who Moderates the Social Web? #openSocialWeb #fediverse

The schizophrenia of these people is mind-blowing:
"Europe faces growing tensions with the US – its chief supplier of liquefied natural gas – over Donald Trump’s desire to take over Greenland. At a summit in Davos on Tuesday, the US commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, criticised Europe’s adoption of solar and wind, arguing that its lack of domestic battery factories risked making it “subservient” to China.
“If you are going to be dependent on someone, it had better be your best allies,” he said in a justification of the “America first” approach that he encouraged other countries to emulate."

What Carney said about NATO & trade was hugely important, but it’s what he said about truth that’s even more so. His choice of Vaclav Havel was not accidental. His concept of ‘living in truth’ is an essential guide to this moment open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Central thesis: “In a world where established platforms are turning from the promised rescue of digital journalism to its danger, journalism should consider being active in the fediverse.”

Reading about #Nvidia CEO crying about people not liking #AI, though it was a good time to recover this historic piece of art from the Copyright wars of the start of the century. Cc'ing @pluralistic

The EPA says it will stop estimating the value of health benefits of reducing air pollution until it is “confident enough” in its models. But uncertainty doesn’t make an estimate useless.
This is like ignoring weather forecasts because they might not be perfect 🙄https://theconversation.com/what-air-pollution-does-to-the-human-body-273456

AI can crunch data. It can’t replace scientists.
Real discovery still depends on human judgment, creativity and collaboration. https://theconversation.com/ai-cannot-automate-science-a-philosopher-explains-the-uniquely-human-aspects-of-doing-research-272477
Mark Carney on the rupturing world order in Davos. This is an important call to collective action.

Iran’s regime keeps closing universities. History shows why: Campuses are where dissent turns into protest movements. https://theconversation.com/irans-universities-have-long-been-a-battleground-where-protests-happen-and-students-fight-for-the-future-273742
