#Microsoft wants to take #screenshots of our #screen every few seconds now? 📸

This wonderful #AI "feature" for #Copilot+ #PC is called #Recall.

"Recall is currently in preview status. During this phase, we'll listen to customer feedback..."

Here is our Feedback to the beloved #MicroScreen #Corp:

#FCKMicrosoft & #FCKWindows 11 😘

More about this soon 👍

From 100 people I try to talk to about #privacy, maybe 1 wants to 😅

Many know or suspect the issues with the #corporations collecting their #data but they try their best not to think about it, because they seem to feel helpless against it anyway.

Best way to change minds seems to be - living with privacy and answering questions when people notice your behavior & promoting / supporting alternative #software & #hardware.

#Mastodon has a big #userbase that cares about privacy, glad to be here!

Why doesn't #Tor use an #opensource #searchengine such as #searx by default?

Does a pretty good job & has 80+ instances available at:

https://searx.space/ 😀

That should ensure a better uptime & reliability than #duckduckgo & of course - way better everything - than #bing 👍

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.

I'm experimenting with new profile layouts in the new Pixelfed app.

Which one do you prefer?

(current, alt 1, alt 2)

Alt 2 design

Sounds like a privacy nightmare. You should consider #Linux 👍

One day this will type of stuff will end up mandatory, and even if it’s local it’s being fed into an AI. This stuff will get abused.

Aurora Dome Sky

The image was captured on May 10 during early morning hours from Arlington, Wisconsin, USA. The panorama is a composite of several 6-second exposures covering two thirds of the visible sky, with north in the center, and processed to heighten the colors and remove electrical wires. The photographer (in the foreground) reported that the aurora appeared to flow from a point overhead but illuminated the sky only toward the north.

This is funny. OpenAI, who scraped the entire internet to build its product, is now enforcing copyright via notices. They still don’t give credit for stealing content from everyone, yet now acting like holier-than-thou https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1cnvyzp/

#Monsanto - #Bayer is making sure kids get what they deserve... "neurological, endocrine system and other health issues"!

Update on the post from yesterday:

They are already down from 857 #Million to 438 in restitution, because they argued it was "unconstitutionally excessive" 😅

#Disney is definitely not what it used to be, it is scary that this #evil #giant #corporation makes content, which #children consume and form a part of their #worldview on. Is this really what #WaltDisney imagined when he started it

Timelapse video of the Falkirk Wheel, with its curved arms cradling water-filled gondolas rotating around a central axis, seamlessly raising and lowering vessels between the joining canals, all under an overcast sky that casts a soft glow on the wheel and the green landscape.

“WSJ: The AI industry spent 17x more on Nvidia chips than it brought in in revenue”

Linking to a reddit thread just for the headline quote they found in a paywalled WSJ article feels a bit weird but…

This 17x number is just for chips so the actual cost x revenue multiplier is much higher in reality https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/1bs1ebl/wsj_the_ai_industry_spent_17x_more_on_nvidia/

"We have enormous freedom. That’s not a gift that was given to us, it’s a legacy that was left to us by centuries of struggle. By centuries of people that most of whose names are completely forgotten, the ones who created the freedom and the rights we now have, and that will be taken away unless you constantly defend them."

• Noam Chomsky
