If Google starts responding to searches by telling people to install Linux, I will know they trained their AI from Mastodon.

Just got into DIY… which mean one side of my bed is beginning to collapse because it wasn’t screwed together correctly, so I just fixed it by propping it up with books.

This food delivery app has an offer on where if the fail to deliver within the advertised time, they both refund you and give you the value of the meal.

There’s a marathon on here today, so I ordered some food, which didn’t get collected, and now they’ve paid me. So I ordered some more and yes, it wasn’t collected either.

I’m on day 6 of 7 using Twitter, as I decided to try it for a week.

Provided I’m using the non-default following feed it’s basically the same as before, the only real change for me is porn bots are everywhere in reply spam.

I think the Ivory app on iOS is better than the Twitter app. Also the official Twitter app is using 45% more battery for me, with same usage time.

My favourite trope is people saying “you can’t do that, it’s against the law! GDPR!” to big tech companies… as they steal the world’s copyrighted material to train AI, run Washington DC, count almost every EU data regulator as email customers and fund anti-trans political candidates for commercial gain.

People think they’re holding spears but instead they’re armed with plastic forks from a chip shop.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Microsoft have announced they are baking Copilot into Xbox, and it will offer game help.

At the Xbox One launch in 2013, AI and voice activation was the sales pitch. It was abandoned. Then, Cortana AI was launched for Xbox. It was abandoned.

MS execs really love fake product demos.

Burn the planet for shareholder value! Woo!!

Microsoft released its 2024 Sustainability Report. Last year, Microsoft's emissions went up 29%, and it used 23% more water, primarily due to "new technologies, including generative AI."
