That sounds so horribly ‘both sides’ - appeasing both parties.

Iran have already stated “Nope, no diplomacy whilst you’re bombing us.”.

So what now Keir?

This worldcoin? Yeah, it’s looking real good right now…

Whilst that’s true, it’s a good opportunity to push Linux as a potential alternative in a few different ways - reduction of e-waste, free and private oriented alternative, simple (in some situations/distro) for certain basic users, or even someone who wants to get a little more technical. It’s good to promote the idea that there is more to computers than a monolithic monopoly called Microsoft.

All our clients use it. It’s bloody annoying. I have dozens who use WhatsApp, and like three who use Signal. Ironically, the three that use Signal also use WhatsApp and guess which one they use to contact us?

It’s a problem when it’s got mass market traction to get people to switch. I’m still trying to get off Messenger but some people insist on it… Going to have to get firm about that.

The enshittification process in a nutshell.

Protest on them trying to enact age consent laws.

By showing the message rather than Pornhub’s vast library of adult content, Aylo “is communicating directly with the French people to tell them how dangerous, how potentially privacy-infringing, and how ineffective the French law is”, Solomon Friedman of Aylo’s owner, Ethical Capital Partners, told reporters in a video call on Tuesday.

Paris has this year gradually introduced requirements for all adult websites to have users confirm their age with details like a credit card or ID document.

In a bid to preserve privacy, operators must offer a third-party “double-blind” option that would keep the platforms themselves from seeing users’ identifying information.

Edit - the sauce - Pornhub, YouPorn owner suspends access to French users over age verification law

To the surprise of nobody… 😆

We’re aimed at achieving a new level of employee empowerment, enhancing both our team’s performance and the customer experience.

To use an ancient acronym:

ROFLMAO

They will probably use the YouTube model - “you’re wrong and that’s it”.

DuckDuckGo has made A.I. results optional, which is a good move.

Companies that are making it fixed can go swimming in lava for all I care (looking at you Google).

Do you trust Mark Zuckerberg…

Now let me stop you right there. The answer is no. It’s always no when Zuck is involved.

I love the fact that the information they can provide is basically a couple of reference points that takes up a quarter of a page 🤣
