PimEyes and tech like it are “deeply, deeply dangerous” because they destroy anonymity and can be easily abused, EFF’s @Adam_D_Schwartz told @WashPost. You only have one face, and tech like this can enable stalking or fake pornography in your likeness.

"The Post's loss...

Is The Atlantic's gain. Two veteran writers who resigned from The Washington Post over its non-endorsement decision are joining The Atlantic. Robert Kagan and Danielle Allen are both coming aboard as contributing writers."

When a website listed a Halloween parade in Dublin at which Cristiano Ronaldo and MrBeast might appear, social media hype began to build. And last night, thousands of Dubliners showed up from Parnell Street to Christchurch Cathedral, waiting for the three-hour event that would "[transform] Dublin into a lively tapestry of costumes, artistic performances, and cultural festivities." They waited in vain — the listing was, according to Defector, "a combination of classic SEO bait tactics and newfangled AI slop content." Here's more.

It's actually fucking crazy I found out about this on Mastodon and not from Irish media like at all. I saw the videos but no context. See my last post to know why this is Exhibit A.


Why This is the Moment of Truth for White #WomenVoters. “Trump is a hair’s breadth from returning to the White House… His #supremacy and #misogyny have only gotten worse… [W]hite women [are at the] front & center of saving this country from 4 more years of this. Polls suggest they are evenly split between Trump & Harris… If #whitewomen collectively do not reject Trump, it cements a long-standing irony. …” | Derrick Z.

The WordPress story should serve as a stark reminder that we need independent foundations backing open-source projects, not merely organizations that appear as the appendix of corporations.

The fact that #openbsd provides every single OS with cool tools under the most liberal of all licenses is pretty rad.

Where would #linux be without #ssh ? They would prolly make gnussh, and who knows how that would end up...

I'm not knocking Linux here, because Linux is clearly ahead in the rat race in the enterprise world, but just pointing out that our friends who make openbsd a reality need to be celebrated more!

Then you wonder why there are so many PEFPs in US political sphere...


Their hypocrisy and the public's acceptance that agents of a foreign nation have such a strong grip over American politics is just hard to understand.

But it will s what it is 2/3rd of all people in high positions in US are funded and supported by #AIPAC.

So this guy Michael Wolff has over some ‘100 hours’ of tapes of #Epstein talking about Trump, yet he only just decided to release them now through his podcast, a few days before the election.

"Trump is a threat to democracy" these people say, but they will withhold crucial information unless they get a book deal or something. :eyeroll:

When Trump and the men who support him say they want to "protect" women, they don’t mean “protect"; they mean “control".

And that is exactly what this MAGA, patriarchal, regressive, and repressive movement is all about: men in a superior position in society dictating to everyone else what they think is good for those they dominate. We want to turn the page and not go back. #VoteBlue
