This gives an insteresting attack vector I hadn't previously thought of - instead of stealing the victim's data, insert doctored screenshots and OCR database history to make it look as if the victim was committing illegal activities. Then, call in the cops, who confiscate the computer, check Recall, and oh my goodness, a felon has been found!
Hello, I hope this email finds you panting and exhausted, trapped in a back alley with no way out, frantically searching for escape as panic threatens to take over the very core of your being.
On our international flight home everyone, and I mean everyone, around us was coughing. To be fair, I was coughing too, but my wife and I were masked. I saw exactly zero other masks on there.
Ten hours in a tube with strangers hacking up a lung, and all these people wanted to breathe that DIRECTLY? It boggles the mind.
Remember, you're voting for your opponent for the next four years. You're going to have two completely different fights, depending on who wins. Either a fight for forward progress, or a fight for your life against a fascist dictatorship. https://wandering.shop/@cstross/112520698693895565
"I'm not interested in discussing the politics of AI. Computing technology is full of odious things made by odious people in the most odious ways, and has been for as long as I've been alive. Take what's useful and recognize that every choice is a tradeoff."
Basically, "Shit may suck, and I don't care, and I don't care if you care. Nothing matters anymore and if you care about things, you're wrong."
I dunno if I'm not in the same circles, but I'm not seeing ANYONE say "Just use Linux" in response to the Windows+Copilot announcement, but I am seeing a WHOLE LOT OF "Ugh, I hate when people tell me to "Just use Linux!""
Is it really that bad out there? Do you all follow that many shitty people? Voluntarily?
The high-speed trains in Italy are definitely fast, and modern and spacious, too. But boy oh boy could they stand to be climate-controlled a little bit. We covered a lot of ground in not nearly as much time as I'd expect, but I am sweatin'.
Shit like this is why I can't get behind the "Biden has lost my vote" rhetoric. Voting for president means you get to pick your opponent for the next four years. Do you really want to have to be dealing with scrambling for survival against this guy and all the new horrific shit he's gonna drop, or do you want to keep making progress on the absolutely critical fights we're already fighting? https://mastodon.social/@br00t4c/112436047287092306
Honestly, I just need to block "discussions.apple.com" from my search results. Never has there ever been an actual answer to an actual question posted on that domain. I can't get over how bad it sucks and is just full of copy/paste "reinstall your phone" answers without any attempt at relevance to the question.
