I asked Google "who ruined Google" and they replied honestly using their AI, which is now forced on all of us. It's too funny not to share!

I've been drawing strips for years about attacks on students' right to protest, yet strangely I've never been invited to give a TED Talk, speak at an "ideas festival," or pen a column for the Atlantic.

This is from 2016.

i put it here as well.

my fear is, it is about power and money.

when someone or something can afford lawyers or supports financially, they are protected.

when someone or something does not have financial resources, they are discriminated, or even arrested and expelled from university.

If Apple integrates AI technology from OpenAI or Google, it could pose a privacy nightmare. I truly hope Apple includes simple toggle options to disable these AI features. I don't want OpenAI accessing my personal data; they are not trustworthy. I want a simple phone that does calls, texts, and a few apps. I have zero use for shity openai llm. I don’t wish to have AI on my phone. Please keep these fancy features as an option. Please don’t force them like Microsoft.

@nixCraft
your wish is based on that apple is somehow trustful. apple is not trustworthy or privacy friendly. apple is worse than others in some way.

is it time to ditch apple products !

Griftology.

Politico—The campaign is asking for down-ballot candidates who use his name, image and likeness in fundraising appeals to give at least 5 percent of the proceeds to the campaign.

@GottaLaff
only 5% !
is trump generous, i thought trump is selfish narcissist, so trump would keep 95% and 5% to a candidate.

end of joke.

CALL CONGRESS!

Dear Reader,

Here's a tool for Americans who want to call out members of US Congress for blocking aid to Ukraine.

Innocent Ukrainians are dying every day because of Donald Trump and MAGA House Republican blockade of floor votes to authorize weapons aid to Ukraine.

Please boost this post and the link to this helpful tool!

Ukrainian Blood on MAGA!

TL;DR There is no safe way to use TikTok, and our strong recommendation is to delete the app from all your devices.

    Nothing says "free and fair democratic elections" like some dude with an AK-47 popping into your voting booth, and two other goons arresting someone on the floor.

    what puzzles me is, why russia is doing this so openly. russia has enough capability to do rigged elections hiddenly or secretly. same for previous elections. is russia incompetent!?

    one argument is, russia is sending message to opponents.

    pre-emptive argument!
    even if you don't like joe biden, vote for congress. i'm pretty sure there is good options for senators and house members. don't forget states, and their legislators. congress matters.
    and yes, joe biden is far better than any republican out there. or should i say orange's party!

    OMG!!!

    For years, the antivirus software company harvested information from users’ web browsers without their consent.

    And SOLD that data!

    Though I have never used any of their products, I pray that this company is sued into oblivion.

    What an abhorrent deception! https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/22/24080135/avast-security-privacy-software-ftc-fine-data-harvesting

    Via Andrew Weissmann:

    My guess: may have someone like co-signing Chubb bond, so the bank is comfortable being on the hook for the judgment. Same could happen for the bond for AG $450M judgment. & this strategy wd allow co-signor to say truthfully that they did not give or loan Trump any $

    Joyce Vance:

    This=important pt. Trump is beholden to someone & we don't know who. Reporters shd ask him to explain all of the details. GOP leaders shd, but probably won't be esp concerned.

    i think the EU should pass legislation that enforces standards based 2factor auth (like totp/hotp) for banks, health insurance etc. it is absolutely unacceptable that people are forced to buy android/ios smartphones to use critical services

    furthermore, apps may use push messages, which is bad if it is external push messages, like ios and google push messages.

    BREAKING: spyware abused in 🇵🇱 under previous PiS-party government, confirms the new PM Donald Tusk

    Vindication.

    When we @citizenlab first confirmed the hacking in 2021 both we & victims were targeted w/extensive harassment & disinformation.
