RE: https://techhub.social/@Techmeme/116606089296164399Remember this whenever you hear claims that your data is secure on some system or other that you do not own and control.Like all that additional data governments want to gather via the slippery slope of “age verification” in the EU.The only data that is actually secure on a third party is data you haven’t shared with the third party.Hence: data minimisation.Had I mentioned GDMR yet today? Because I feel I might have. But hey, here it is again:https://ar.al/2018/11/29/gdmr-this-one-simple-regulation-could-end-surveillance-capitalism-in-the-eu/#data #security #privacy #GDMR #microsoft #github #hackRT: https://techhub.social/users/Techmeme/statuses/116606089296164399

Talked to a software engineer at Microsoft working on Copilot Studio today at a social event and he said he was ashamed that he hadn’t written a single line of code in over three months. “I used to take pride in my work.” (They simply create plans in natural language and feed it to the LLM which generates the code. They can’t even do human code reviews anymore as there’s too much code being generated.)He said a lot of them were waiting for a catastrophic event (something that would take down critical infrastructure) to get top management to reverse course. He seemed to think such a failure was very likely.Given what we’ve been seeing recently, I tend to agree with him. Although I feel they will just double down. There’s too much money in the pot for them to fold.#AI #microsoft #LLMs

Spain: We’re outraged that Israeli barbarians are brutalising our peace activists… we’re perfectly capable barbarians who can brutalise them ourselves (we were trained by them, after all).Any word from friend of Palestine, Pedro Sánchez on this? Are all these officers being fired as we speak?🤔 #spain #GazaFlotilla #GazaFlotillaActivists #israel #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialism

Just heard that my posts are being blocked on indieweb.social.I’m very clear about who I am and what I stand for. So you make of them what you will.🤷♂️

Right, so just checked with the person on indieweb.social who reported it to me via a DM and they apparently saw “This profile has been hidden by the moderators of your server” on one of my posts. Which would signal that my account was limited.However, it doesn’t appear to be any longer as folks are reporting that my posts are being federated and I was able to follow someone without it being a follow request.So… 🤷♂️(Would be nice if moderation actions weren’t entirely hidden on Mastodon so you’d know why an action was taken and had a means to appeal it.)

Do you oppose genocide? Have you criticised Israel? Be careful, you might just get banned from the UK.https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=QR5IUs6UZ7M#UK #israel #genocide #Gaza #Palestine

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.You simply don’t need to.You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)#WSocial #NoWNoX #surveillance #capitalism #BigTech #VC @_elena https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116770291207686239
