Hi! I'm @_jv_ and https://tumblr.com/jv, but this is my little instance where I'm doing a bit of an experiment to merge both. Basically, I'm trying to build a tumblr-like platform that runs on the fediverse. I called it Goblin, and you can find the source code here:
https://github.com/johnHackworth/goblin

Soft. dev by trade, I used to build things for places like Tumblr and WordPress.com before their fall, now I work for a company I won't mention here after learning from my previous mistakes.

This profile is from a federated server and may be incomplete. Browse more on the original instance.

How does genocide happen in 2024?

It doesn’t, of course. As Graeme Wood from The Atlantic explains, there are only tens of thousands of legally killed children, that’s all.

(Thanks, Graeme, we were all apparently very confused.)

See, y’all were getting worked up for nothing.

International Criminal Court, last Monday: seeks arrest warrants for Benjamin and Yoav for criminal responsibility in starvation of civilians and crimes against humanity.

International Court of Justice, Friday: “Israel must immediately halt its military offensive and any other action in Rafah which may inflict on the Palestinian group in conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part”

If you defend Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people, and you’re following me, unfollow now. I have nothing to say to you this lifetime.

A vision of near future:

Microsoft Recall on your work PC, keeping a stockpile of screenshots. LLMs used to "understand" your work activity by rifling through the screenshots. Your manager getting a report generated from that information, and using it measure your productivity and performance, accuse you of time theft, etc.

There’s a word for a two-class society, I think it starts with “A” and ends with “partheid”.

I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:

> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
> 40% are between 20 and 50%.
> Mexico City (Population 22.51 million) forced to reduce water supply as reservoirs that feed city dry up.
> Stores running out of mineral water.

As San Francisco tech authoritarians line up behind Trump to create a "unified Reich," I talk to @parismarx about an influential tech figure's terrifying vision for the city...

A color-coded police state apartheid system where Blues (Democrats) are banished and persecuted. And they aren't just talking -- they are investing money and effort to make it happen.

Anybody who thought that OpenAI and Sam Altman were trustworthy before the recent drama has already demonstrated a pretty darn high tolerance for bullshit and shenanigans. A CEO positioning a voice chatbot as a celebrity soundalike without permission isn’t even going to blip on their ethical radar

Debating these people—and there are a lot of them—is pointless. You aren’t going to convince them that they shouldn’t trust OpenAI and Altman any more than you’re going to convince an DHH/Basecamp fan or a Tesla/Musk enthusiast.

That the United States is accusing anyone of acting "unilaterally" is the most fatuous posture imaginable.

The Veto Cowboys at the UN, the scourge of international democratic controls, wielder of the oppressive economic embargo and global leader in attributable deaths per annum has thoughts on collaboration and peace. Got it.

the only thing you need to do to understand how imperialism works is to understand this: anyone who does anything in support of Palestine is 'rewarding terrorism', but anyone who does anything in support of Israel is 'respecting law and order' - even though you can quite literally read a history book and see that Israel was established through unbelievable, industrial-scale, violent terrorism. every time I see this argument come up I lose my fucking mind

Microsoft recall is fucking insane.

Recall snapshots are kept on Copilot+ PCs themselves, on the local hard disk, and are protected using data encryption on your device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker.

Your doing what? Microsoft wh-

Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds. [...]

[...] The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB, which can store approximately 3 months of snapshots. [...]

WHAT WHY NO ST-

Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device, especially when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry.

Microsoft please... th-the tech support scams... think about what happens if this gets bre-

Recall also does not take snapshots of certain kinds of content, including InPrivate web browsing sessions...

Oh, okay I guess that's san-

...in Microsoft Edge.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It treats material protected with digital rights management (DRM) similarly; like other Windows apps such as the Snipping Tool, Recall will not store DRM content.

Ah, but of course. The DRM is protected...

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.

I got ahold of the Copilot+ software.

Recall uses a bunch of services themed CAP - Core AI Platform. Enabled by default.

It spits constant screenshots (the product brands then “snapshots”, but they’re hooked screenshots) into the current user’s AppData as part of image storage.

The NPU processes them and extracts text, into a database file.

The database is SQLite, and you can access it as the user including programmatically. It 100% does not need physical access and can be stolen.

I was part of the first generation to take to the web and fill it with my hopes and dreams, my stories and music, seeking connection and building community.

Watching assholes like Sam Altman treat all that collected humanity as a strip mine makes me indescribably sad.

It also makes me want to punch him in his smug fucking face.
