Dear @creativecommons ,

I read your article about your initiative for new licenses for dataset holders in the AI industry.

Let’s be clear: I do not want to re-license my hundreds of CC-By comic pages to please AI giants.

I wish you would support CC artists suffering from massive plagiarism. You should enforce your own existing licenses against AI mass crawling. It seems you’ve joined the battle only after the casualties and still managed to side with the wrong people.

are you in the UK? are you looking for an infosec job? have you ever done a security assessment in an industrial environment, including industrial infrastructure and/or HMI middleware appsec? if so, I know of a place that's hiring and is open to remote (but UK only) full-time, part-time, or contract positions. they've got a ton of industrial work coming in and minimal internal resources to handle it.

drop me a DM and I can pass your details on.

Why is the reading experience better in the apps (like the Guardian)?

Because the tracking cookies and adversarial content is baked into the app and governed by the terms of service. You don’t have a way out, unlike the web site with the cookie notice.

So that’s why they push the apps. They’re less accountable that way.

Please do not use Facebook as your business website.

I don't want to be on the blockchain. I don't want to mint NFTs, I don't want to vibe code. I don't want to beg you to hit the 'subscribe' button and ring the bell. I don't want to game the algorithm for your likes or your views or your shares or to be on the first page of results or to get recommended. I don't want you to gift Nitro to my server. I don't want the thumbnails of my videos to have a red circle and question mark next to a faked expression of surprise, I don't want to pay for items that give me an advantage over other players. I don't want you to take a moment to hear about today's sponsor. I don't want to pump a meme coin, I don't want to craft prompts, I don't want to influence. I don't want you to watch me react to watching a video.

I'm seriously sick of this shit. All of it.

By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...

Congrats to #ferrari for making the ugliest #f1 car of the season. Wow.

Listen, capitalism, what I really want right now is a reliable product label telling me that there's no generative AI content in a product.

You can already sell me stuff by loudly telling buyers with a label that it's without gluten, micro plastics or palm oil.

Go ahead, I beg you, label things that are free of AI pollution.

Probably the last CVE indexed before it goes dark should be CVE-2025-DOGE (critical, local privilege escalation vulnerability that leads to malicious code execution and data exfiltration).
