"Absolutely no reasonable org will allow this Microsoft Recall shit! It's a security nightmare!"

I just saw an organization that is planning to use it to "measure employee productivity" and search for "policy violations." (Not naming names.)

Remember: there are more than a few large orgs out there that gleefully install keyloggers on the same bogus pretense. (And absolutely will not tell you, the employee.)
They already see Recall as a goldmine for abusing their employees.

The nerve of charging someone almost $100K a year for college and withholding diplomas for protesting is a motherfucking outrage.

Reminder:

It is not a good idea to to respond to every bit of craziness in the news.

By "crazy" I mean speculation.

If we respond (click) all are encouraging craziness.

People click, and the people spreading crazy get rich and they have an inventive to continue.

Traditional news publishers learn that there is $$ in spreading crazy.

In the past, people saw speculation, felt worried and asked me how things work.

We are then part of the cycle.

Let's not be part of the problem.

Did you know that the first time terrorists used planes to attack Americans wasn’t on 9/11 or at Pearl Harbor? It was during the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 when white supremacists flew “a dozen planes to drop turpentine or nitroglycerin bombs & men shot from planes.”

103 years later, we must keep fighting for reparations for Tulsa Race Massacre survivors, and bring about meaningful racial justice in America.

Not being on twitter anymore means it took a couple days to find out Alex Jones cried and begged for money on air over the weekend because he is staring into the dark abyss of imminent ruin and honestly congrats to him for finding his purpose because the ONLY activity available to online-tv neo-Nazis, be it Jones, Matt Walsh or Tim Pool, should be crying and begging for money because they're staring into the dark abyss of imminent ruin. it's like water finding its level. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jun/03/alex-jones-sandy-hook-payment

Watching H5N1 extend its host range, now show respiratory symptoms in a human case, should concern us all. We are whistling past the graveyard, not remotely prepared for what comes next. Perhaps H5N1 will not acquire the mutations necessary to ensure efficient human-to-human transmission, but counting on good fortune is not a strategy.

So the Black man that everyone was laughing at for dialing in to his court case from his car, while his license was suspended, is not so foolish. Racism has people laughing at its victims.

We'll see how many of the people that were laughing because they thought "Foolish criminal dials in from car, on suspended license case!🤣" have anything cute to say now. You know that none of them will.

It's just the regular anti-Black cruelty in the US criminal justice system.

Fairly lukewarm take: I hate phrases like “identify as”, “preferred pronouns”, and shit like “living your truth”. It comes off as super condescending and patronizing. You would never be like, “Jane got married last week. She identifies as Mrs. Surname now, she’s so brave for living her truth”

The Epoch Times peddles MAGA and Q lies. Its ownership has questionable financial roots.

They also love Trump and RFK Jr. has called it a great daily read.

And now its CFO is now under federal judicial scrutiny for money laundering.

Does anyone know if the US has recently changed the law involving pseudoephedrine or have pharmacies just shrinkflationed their packages to the point where it's no longer possible to actually get enough meds per month to last a full month?

Anybody else notice it seems like all software has gotten extra buggy and unreliable over the last year or two?

I don't have an exact timeframe, but I'd say it loosely coincidences with when all the big tech companies started doing mass layoffs.

Weird.

none of you should be boosting, sharing, linking to NextShark.

it is the vanguard publication for boba liberalism and the reactionary East and South Asian blocs, it was started with MRAzn $$$ and produces some of the most asinine link aggregation posing as reporting, drawn from and cited by far-right "grassroots" "journalists" across the US

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.
