I worked hard on some 3D artwork. Now I'm going to publish it on social media and enjoy the likes and responses. 😊

I worked hard on some 3D artwork. Before it will be ready to publish, I need to make a compilation of work-in-progress screenshots and wireframes, to prove that it's not AI-generated, and to avoid people asking what AI prompt I used to generate the image. 😖😖
The W3C – the standards body of surveillance capitalism – on privacy.
If you had any “privacy principles” to speak of, what would Adobe, Alibaba, Amazon, Baidu, Bloomberg, Google, Huawei, IAB, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, Samsung, Bilibili, SoftBank, Tencent, Yahoo!, Zoom, etc., be doing on your members list?
💰 How big tech companies like Google, Meta influence academic research
➥ The Washington Post
「 But in interviews, two dozen professors said that by controlling funding and access to data, tech companies wield “soft power,” slowing down research, sparking tension between academics and their institutions, and shifting the fields’ targets in small — but potentially transformative — ways 」
Apple su iOS aprirà ai browser non basati su WebKit, Google modifica alcuni risultati di ricerca e disattiva il tracciamento predefinito dei propri utenti attraverso i servizi.
#Meta ha dato un assaggio dei lavori per l'interoperabilità della messaggistica con #WhatsApp e #Messenger.
A partire da oggi a mezzanotte non potranno più ricorrere a pratiche sleali nei confronti di coloro che dipendono da loro - con multe fino al 20% del loro fatturato globale in caso di inadempienze multiple
As of this week, Europeans will be presented with an option that can help make the web a better place. The Browser Choice Screen will be shown when you update your iOS or Android device or when you set up a brand new one.
Vivaldi’s Co-Founder and CEO Jon von Tetzchner @jon, has been pushing for regulation of Big Tech and better user rights for decades. Finally seeing the impact of speaking up and fighting back is a big win. The browser and search engine choice screens are a massive step in the direction of fair competition and granting users freedom to choose.
As the Browser Choice Screen comes into effect, we urge you to consider Vivaldi as your browser of choice. Why?
Because Vivaldi embodies the spirit of independence, innovation, and user empowerment. Unlike other browsers, Vivaldi is not beholden to Big Tech's agenda or profit-driven motives. Instead, we are driven by our commitment to providing people with a browser that adapts to them.
We are committed to your privacy and security. We believe that your online data belongs to you, not to advertisers or third-party trackers.
Reclaim control of your online experience and make a clear statement. When you see the browser choice screen, choose Vivaldi—the browser that puts you first.
Tutti i contenuti di Wordpress.com e Tumblr verranno usati per addestrare l'#IA senza l'autorizzazione degli autori.
Tutto quanto scritto su queste piattaforme di #blog serviranno quindi ad addestrare le intelligenze artificiali dei #BigTech.
Quale miglior momento per la de-wordpressizzazione?
https://Noblogo.org è la piattaforma italiana del #fediverso basata su #writefreely, creata per avere un proprio blog minimale, senza pubblicità e senza profitto sui tuoi contenuti!
Long time Linux writer with gigs in all reputable Linux outlets & magazines.
Always been interested in security and privacy (compiled and maintained the Linux security wiki at IBM developerWorks back in the day). Finally have an editor who lets me highlight how #BigTech has created a cesspool that now engulfs everyday users.
Syringomyelia makes me spend most hours in rehab. It's a followup to a decade old condition, some of which I could reverse because of Facebook --> https://vimeo.com/49256882
Die EU hat mit dem Digital Markets Act (#DMA) wichtige Regeln zum Schutz gegen den Machtmissbrauch von #BigTech geschaffen, von denen wir alle profitieren werden. Aber die Stärke der Regeln steht und fällt mit ihrer Durchsetzung. Derzeit fehlt es an qualifiziertem Personal.
Techkonzerne wie #Apple reiben sich schon die Hände, weil es zu wenige Ressourcen gibt, um den DMA wirklich durchzusetzen. Sie haben bereits angekündigt, sich kaum an die neuen Regeln halten zu wollen. Ein solches Verhalten ist Gift für unsere Demokratie.
Nur mit zusätzlichen Ressourcen kann die Durchsetzung des #DMA gestärkt und können wir effektiv vor dem Machtmissbrauch durch Big Tech geschützt werden.
They seek to obtain #research access to internal #Microsoft data to check whether and how the company is making sure its not-so-intelligent #AI#Copilot isn't bullshitting around in dangerous ways.
Ostensibly to help reduce stock dilution caused by stock awards to core staff (including the CEO), once again (as I've pointed out before), it shows that Uber's #business model is nothing to do with investment in #innovation & everything to do with #wagetheft & expoiting #workers.
Uber doesn't need any tech innovation or new kit, so investment not required; just keeps sh*ting on the drivers to make a profit!
Just spent at least two hours deleting all of my work from Tumblr, before their AI scraping shit hits the fan, although it's probably too late. In that case, the deletion functions as a gesture of protest.
This shameless large-scale intellectual property theft by greedy tech business assholes everywhere is starting to make the internet pretty annoying. 😖
Give @julian#Github comment some good reactions to show the folks of the #W3C Federated Identity CG that there's more than #BigTech#identity providers to take into account..
