I was speechless when I saw this appear on my camera's LCD screen last night - this is only the second time I photographed #RedSprites.

It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about #Windows Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master #security expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

Boeing union wants a board seat and a say on plane safety

#Boeing's largest #union is in contract talks with the beleaguered airplane company for the first time in more than a decade
— and it's seizing the moment to push for cultural change.

The International Association of Machinists is taking the opportunity to negotiate beyond standard line items like pay and retirement benefits — they want a real say in quality and safety standards.

"It's very important to us that we build a safe, quality airplane," Jon Holden, president of the 32,000-member International Association of Machinists District 751, said earlier this month as talks began.

The union represents 32,000 workers who assemble airplanes in factories in Washington state.

This is likely its "first time ever" proposing terms like this, Holden said.

As part of that effort, 🔸the union wants a seat on Boeing's board of directors🔸, Holden told the Financial Times this week.

"With what's going on these days, we are oftentimes the last line of defense," he told the paper. "We have to save this company from itself."

Union representatives on the board "would serve as a check on the CEO," Leeham News, a trade publication, wrote in January — urging a board shakeup at the company.

Truth social has 5 million users but is somehow worth 6 billion dollars. Nothing funny going on here. Nice legal loophole for foreign dirty money to be passed through to the 78% stakeholder.

This is the problem right here:

"In a friendly call between Jones and McDaniel, the two spoke about the . . need to have differing views on the airwaves."

People don't need "differing views."

They need facts.

The way MSNBC presents "news" the facts gets lost in an avalanche of opinions, speculation, and conjecture.

They are making their viewers less informed and angrier.
