Ostensibly Zuckerberg's AI clone will allow tens-of-thousands of Meta employees "access" to their CEO, someone whom they never see in person, no matter how long their tenure at the company. Of course employees won't actually be interacting with Zuckerberg, something anyone […]

There are so many peer-to-peer networks now in existence that I have seriously lost count of them. You may think that they just come and go, but that is because they are not really visible outside of their own network. Secure Scuttlebutt, where I ju ...continues

Lifehacker: Reddit Is (Mostly) Shuttering r/all, but There’s Still a Way to Access It. “As reported by The Verge, Reddit is officially doing away with r/all.
