We knew the #TechBros are #DataThieves but I was in the dark about the amount of data the #tRumpGrift #USAdministration is #Thieving from Aussies who #travel to the #US. I guess that is one more reason (if there wasn't reasons enough) not to travel to or through #Merica. Bernard Keane tells us all about it, thanks to #FOI

Indivisible Oregon Summer Picnic · Swing Left

Join volunteers with Indivisible Oregon for a summer picnic on August 9th! Other Indivisible groups are welcome! Let's come together to celebrate the good things - summer in Portland, beautiful weather, and getting together with friends for a picnic. We will also be celebrating each other and our work to empower all Oregonians. We refuse to give the current regime the power to darken our spirits. Instead, we choose to create joy for one another – to reclaim our humanity, to harness its powerful energy, and to renew ourselves for the work ahead. What’s more joyful than food, music and conversation with friends among the glorious Portland trees? Please join us! We’ll bring the food and beverage. Family and friends are welcome! We can’t wait to see you!

Hmm.

Given that #Invidious, #Piped, and others no longer work thanks to YT now requiring a viewer to be logged in even to view from the YT homepage or website embeds; and

given that the @fedora #FedoraPodcast is, seemingly, only available via Youtube;

How can I listen/watch it without giving up all my data to the Google #datathieves? Is the podcast available via normal RSS? Is it syndicated to other distribution channels?

So #NaomiKlein cuts to the chase on all the #AI + #ChatGPT hubbub ! This article is really one of the most precise #FuckOff articles yet in regard to all the #TechnoColonialist #Datathieves players ! Just wish she had actually used the F! word for these Greedy Ass Silicon Valley Mofos ! + sorry for The Guardian link, they certainly don't deserve any respect after all that pandering Coronation Bullshit ! https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/08/ai-machines-hallucinating-naomi-klein
AI machines aren’t ‘hallucinating’. But their makers are

Tech CEOs want us to believe that generative AI will benefit humanity. They are kidding themselves
