Help. I'm in dire need of financial support.
I'm about to lose my apartment if I can't pay back some of the overdue rent payments asap. Please if you are well off financially, I need your help and support right now. I'm begging you.
Also if you are generous to help via SEPA can you please drop me a message so I know early what I can communicate to the landlord?

As my Fitbit has finally finished dying, I am trying to raise $50 for a fitness tracker to help me pace myself in my continued recovery from post-COVID symptoms. All boosts and donations would be so appreciated. ❤️ #Fundraiser #MutualAidRequest
This makes so much sense, there is not enough data for them for general purpose computing compared to -- let's say images and text.
Why does #Microsoft want to implement #Recall? It's not about *images*. It's about modelling what workers do on Windows, and then replacing them.
The most expensive part of a computer is the fallible feelings-filled unpredictable meat sack that operates it.
Google has YouTube, Google Photos, Maps, and a bucket load of search data, Google Analytics, advertising, as well as it's #GCP data (e.g. #STT transcriptions). And a bunch of data from Android services. From this data they can model speech, model videos and model advertising systems, and how humans respond to them.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Amazon has Prime data, and a bucket load of compute. But no operating system data. They can build models based around e-commerce and advertising systems.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Meta has *waves hands* enough analytics to model human behaviour in the Metaverse.
But they can't model what people do on computers.
Microsoft has GitHub.
Microsoft has LinkedIn.
Microsoft has SharePoint.
Microsoft has Teams.
Microsoft has Dynamics.
Microsoft has O365.
Microsoft has Windows telemetry data.
Microsoft can model what people do on (Windows) computers. Like fill out spreadsheets.Write emails. Synthesize web pages of research. Interact with colleagues on Teams. Create and edit documents.
Microsoft wants #MicrosoftRecall data so they can model what people *do* with operating systems.
Then replace them.
Imagine a CoPilot that doesn't just write buggy code. Imagine one that also does spreadsheets. That creates documents on SharePoint. That communicates with colleages on Teams. That has a customer pipeline on Dynamics.
That's what Recall is about - 360 degree surveillance of the worker, to model their functions, make them fungible, replicable - and replaceable.
Am coming to the same conclusion.
That would be indeed wonderful, unfortunately unless the value of labor gets heavily eroded, a strike doesn't seem likely, people lack solidarity with a "it's me vs everyone" even though we live in the same planet.
I think a good antidote to this mentality is workplace democracy, since everybody has a voice therefore everybody is responsible.
Utterly insane, I suggest people stop using these models, it's a lose-lose situation.
