Hackers breached internet connected freezers to spoil food and the company blames freezers without security updates. We look at this and other privacy, security, and business tech stories. #IoT #plannedobsolescence #flock youtu.be/rv4Hk4Vy62I

One AI CEO suggests we will all soon have our own AI assistant at home, but AI is constantly used for scamming, and agents are highly susceptible. #aiagents #aiscams #selfreplicatingai youtu.be/K_KdtM4ga6s

data collection is getting out of hand with McDonalds collecting over 500 pages of data on customers and Amazon profiling making some creepy assertions. Also, Meta Muse wants access to everything and some people are OK with this. youtu.be/2NzEbxsYSbs

@rumblevideo For the last two weeks my stream keys have not worked and my audience that prefers Rumble had to suffer with other platforms. I sent an email to your support. Please get back to me so my Rumble audience can watch my shows again. Thanks!

It's FOSS
@ItsfossOct 13
Let it die... let decades old, community developed open source software die for a clone that probably won't even exist in six months of time? Two different kinds of open source software coexist. One doesn't have to die to make way for another.

Shut your yap. Open Office / Libre Office sucks. It ate my 40 page essay during finals week. I'm paying back a grudge that has been years in the making. Stop dragging along shitty OSS software and venerating it like it's some holy relic. Let it die.

@SonicDesktopOct 13
Thank you very much for giving #SonicDE a try! We've added the "sonic-switch.sh" for easy installation on #ArchLinux sonicde-arch.github.io. So less typing in your box and more time to enjoy SonicDE. ;-)

Thanks to @doctorow for drawing attention to my article for @fsf about #RaspberryPi punishing folks who upgrade their hardware 👇
Free Software Foundation (FSF) @[email protected]@fsfOct 13
Restrictions on hardware upgrades are deeply troubling from an organization like Raspberry Pi that has stated their commitment to longevity as a guiding principle: u.fsf.org/4cq #FreeSoftware #DRM #FSF

It drained the brain cells out of all the humans so we don't see the hallucinations anymore.
