GNOME Shell 50.1 is so fast and snappy in general, it makes any remaining performance issue stick out like a sore thumb.

Reported this odd micro-freezing problem that occurs when reordering or pinning/unpinning launchers on the dash: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/work_items/9210

Another brick in the wall.

Starting in April, the built-in Alexa shopping list can no longer be shared from the app with other apps, such as a simple IM app like Telegram or WhatsApp. I guess ANY other list too. Why? Because such sharing now works only via your family nucleus.

Of course, that's to maximize knowledge about users and transform a simple user into an ecosystem of customers.

Listen, here's the #SiliconValley agenda for #AI:

* Race to #MonopolyByDefault (everyone wants to usurp #Google's throne)
* Increase #DataCollection, #Tracking, #Profiling tenfold by having users WILLINGLY give away their financial information
* Sell said data, manipulate markets with it and generally do a bit of mass- AND targeted psychological manipulation
* Sell the systems to #authoritarian states to form a #SurveillanceState
* Eventually build the same at home

In the second week of Musk v Altman, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman took the stand. After a tedious cross, he told the story of the company’s founding.

GammaRay - A Software Introspection Tool for Qt Applications | KDAB

GammaRay allows you to examine and manipulate the internals of Qt applications at runtime, augmenting conventional debuggers by understanding the implementation of Qt. This allows it to visualize application behavior on a higher level, especially where complex frameworks like scene graphs, model/view or state machines are involved.

Linkedin - mit mulmigem Gefühl hab ich den Account geleert, Content gelöscht, über die Schließung informiert. 2 Wochen später alle Kontakte gelöscht, persönliches anonymisiert. Noch bin ich Mitglied in Gruppen, hierzu suche ich Alternativen, später wird der Account geschlossen. Ob das Auswirkungen auf meine Zukunft hat? Gebracht hat es bisher wenig. Die #Datensammeltwut nervt zu sehr. #privacy #privatsphäre #linkedin #gafam #bigtech #tracking #profiling #diday #unplugtrump #didit #microsoft

What ICE's racial profiling looks like.

This is not supposed to happen in USA, but SCOTUS says it's OK. 🤷‍♂️
