Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images. This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

I think everyone should know how to do this and have the information #frayayoupage

"The best summary of Trump’s trade 'philosophy' comes from Trashfuture’s November Kelly, who said that Trump is flipping over the table in a poker game that’s rigged in his favor because he resents having to pretend to play the game at all." -- Cory Doctorow

The technical failure coincided with TikTok’s ownership transition, leading users to question whether videos criticizing ICE raids in Minnesota were being intentionally censored. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

OBEX, the new movie from director Albert Birney (Strawberry Mansion), is an audacious, uncanny, and delightfully skewed lo-fi fantasy. See it Feb. 1 at @siffnews.bsky.social Film Center presented by us! grandillusioncinema.org/film/obex/

Though age verification mandates claim to protect children, in practice they create harmful censorship and surveillance regimes that put everyone—adults and young people alike—at risk. Don’t believe it? Learn more here: EFF.org/Age

Trying to protect everything from everyone all the time is a good way to drive yourself crazy. This is why we threat model. Here is EFF's Surveillance Self Defense guide to putting together your security plan, also known as threat modeling: ssd.eff.org/module/your-...

The Trump administration *WANTS* a dead ICE agent or three so they can wave the bloody shirt and pass the closest thing they can get to an Enabling Act under US law.

That was my takeaway too. She's clearly turning the wheel to her right. I've slowed the video down here.

@daemonchadeau.com once again bringing the cyberpunk vibes to Time Warp (Srry my camera is trash)

I'm so annoyed that Cyberpunk 2077 is supposed to be a dystopian urban wasteland and Night City still has better mass transit and less traffic than Atlanta.

More evidence that the Trump administration is cozying up to cybermercenaries. The Treasury Dept has removed three people closely affiliated with Intellexa, the company that makes Predator, off a sanctions list: therecord.media/treasury-san...

I think the more persistent issue is how many people think Trump is awful, but delight in it because he hates the people they hate, and they would rather see people they hate being angry than repudiate a depraved person.

Drinking a "Johnny Silverhand" from the game Cyberpunk 2077. A tequilia old-fashioned, topped up with beer, and a sprinkle of chili. No orange peel because who can afford real fruit in this dystopia

Cory Doctorow : "We need to make tech workers unionized again ...  because tech workers that aren't working behind a keyboard, those tech workers, they're peeing in bottles or being injured at 3x the national rate in an Amazon warehouse. That's how tech bosses treat workers they're not afraid of."

What an interesting coincidence.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

we decided to give the computers that run society the weakness from the 1966 television show "star trek" where you can argue with them in plain english to defeat them

The secretary of HHS running the second someone has a medical crisis is a fucking metaphor.

Great show at Central Saloon tonight with @daemonchadeau.com's Prelude To A Pistol

Cory Doctorow and Ed Zitron on the same stage! For a conversation about enshitification and the rot economy

Look, I'm just gonna say this and add my voice to the others who are saying the same basic things. I don't care that Microsoft decided that your Windows 10 laptop shouldn't work anymore. If you can't use it, do not throw it away. Find a Linux nerd. We'll use it. We'll make it work for someone else.

We just got a glimpse of how Black towns, businesses, churches, schools, homes, and Black bodies were destroyed and killed In white Utah at a white college at a white rally a white man killed by another white man resulted in anger at… Black people & institutions.. just like in the past.
