Tech-Illiterate people seem to be absolute idiots when it comes to ComSec, and TechLiterates groom them into ignorance, making it even worse!

Regardless if AIM, ICQ, Sky ECC, EncroChat, ANØM, Skype, WhatsApp or Signal.

All you guys literally providing trivial means to track and trace users should be ashamed!

There was no "legitimate reason" to demand PII like a phone number in 2010, there certainly ain't one in 2026!

Use XMPP+OMEMO and/or PGP/MIME and stop being unofficial informants for the Americal Stasi, dipshits!

Or does anyone believe that Signal will cover your asses? They can't even pay their bills, decentralize and get off AWS!

Spotify Partners with Universal Music Group on Generative AI Tools for Fan-Created Covers and Remixes

Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG) have announced a new licensing agreement that will enable the development of generative AI music models on the Spotify platform. The deal covers both recorded music and publishing rights, allowing participating UMG artists and songwriters to let fans create their own covers, remixes, and other derivative works using AI technology. The initiative was revealed during Spotify's Investor Day presentation on May 21, 2026. According to the announcement, these AI features aim to create additional revenue streams for artists beyond their current Spotify earnings while also increasing discovery opportunities for UMG talent. The generative AI tools are expected to be offered as a paid add-on feature exclusively for Spotify Premium subscribers, though an exact launch date has not yet been confirmed. The companies emphasized respect for artistic choice by giving artists and rightsholders the option to decide whether and how their music will be used in these AI models. This opt-in approach acknowledges the ongoing debate within the creative community about the use of generative AI in music production. In addition to the AI announcement, Spotify introduced a new feature called 'Reserved,' designed to set aside concert tickets specifically for Premium subscribers identified as the most dedicated fans of particular artists. This system seeks to address common frustrations with ticket purchasing by prioritizing genuine fans over bots and scalpers. The partnership reflects the broader industry trend of major music companies exploring controlled integration of AI technologies while attempting to protect creators' interests and maintain artistic integrity.

Today in Writing History May 22, 1927: Author Peter Matthiessen was born. Matthiessen was an environmental activist and a CIA officer who wrote short stories, novels and nonfiction. He’s the only writer to have won the National Book award in both nonfiction, for The Snow Leopard (1979), and in fiction, for Shadow Country (2008). His story Travelin’ Man was made into the film The Young One (1960) by Luis Bunuel. Perhaps his most famous book was, In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (1983), which tells the story of Leonard Peltier and the FBI’s war on the American Indian Movement. The former governor of South Dakota, Bill Janklow, and David Price, an FBI agent who was at the Wounded Knee assault, both sued Viking Press for libel because of statements in the book. Both lawsuits threatened to undermine free speech and further stifle indigenous rights activism. Fortunately, both lawsuits were dismissed. Peltier spent over 43 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. On January 19, 2025, the last full day of his presidency, Joe Biden commuted Peltier's life sentence to home confinement
