Windows is reinstating Recall,
Snapshots of screen saved every 3 seconds and fed to AI.
Previously introduced in May, 2024 to some backlash.

(...)"a gold mine for malicious insiders, criminals, or nation-state spies if they managed to gain even brief administrative access to a Windows device."
(...)"nothing stopping Recall from preserving sensitive disappearing content sent through privacy-protecting messengers such as Signal."
(...)"Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version. Over time, the feature will be rolled out more broadly."
(...)"That would indiscriminately hoover up all kinds of User A's sensitive material, including photos, passwords, medical conditions, and encrypted videos and messages."
(...)"That level of detailed archival material will undoubtedly be subject to subpoena by lawyers and governments."

etc. etc.
Yeah...

Если видите, что я на вас не подписался - без паники.

Я тут подписался на небольшую группу человек и тестирую свой личный инстанс. В теории может получиться так, что я найду тут какие-то недостатки и либо создам инстанс на другом поддомене или поеду на какой-то другой публичный.

Но если всё пройдёт удачно - я сделаю "миграцию" сюда, вас сюда автоматически подпишет (если вы были подписаны на @skobkin), да и свои подписки оттуда я тоже перевезу.

AI flood alert!

@socialsciences just flooded my feed with a series of AI generated messages, obviously designed to create a false impression of "popular voices" and possibly to A/B test engagement of the public. They are all sent from various sites in the .ai TLD, so someone pleaase tell #newsmast admins to filter them out.

As an alt-text, here's one (others vary in phrasing and hashtags only).

As tensions rise in the Middle East, it's a stark reminder of how interconnected our world is. The impact of geopolitical events can ripple through economies and tech markets. Let's stay informed and engaged. 🌍✈️ #Geopolitics #Blockchain

#PSA for anyone considering a sleep study for any reason:

STAY AWAY FROM BLACKSTONE MEDICAL SERVICES

They knowingly submitted a sleep study based on false data to my insurance provider. This is after sending me a dirty, broken pulse oximeter, then ignoring my calls and attempts to inform them of this. The sensor readings were consistently low, but I foolishly tested with it anyway. They then had a "doctor" generate a sleep report based on this incorrect data. Insurance is taking their side, which means I have zero options here except to grit my teeth and get fucked financially.

Seriously, I cannot stress this enough - look for literally any other option. Random strangers on reddit would be a smarter choice here.

⚡️For artists: if you use Booth and Fanbox, CENSOR your works properly. Product descriptions also be clear of crude or harsh language (no cussing, fetishes names etc).

Classic black censor BARS work for black and white drawings; colourful works require MOSAIC pixellation. Mosaic pixels must be big enough or this will happen:

This is what keeps me up at night.

If more people understand how the world works, this would scare you more than Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Elon Musk. This would be more scarer than the United States becoming a failed state.

Millions of bees have died this year and researchers aren’t sure why. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
