Antonia Kerle from the BBC talking about https://c2pa.org/ which is basically digital signatures for photos so you can tell an image came from the BBC or from ChattyJeeps or wherever. Provenance to help stop disinformation and deepfakes. This is good; I wouldn’t have thought that you could get all the big players to get on board with this, so well done the BBC and Microsoft for doing that. Now they need to create the mindset that unsigned images should be viewed sceptically by default.

There’s someone I follow on LinkedIn who just rags on AI. The thing I love about it, he unearths so many technological gems.

"If you are a subscriber to either Tweetbot or Twitterrific, I beseech you to decline these prorated refunds. It’s a couple of bucks for you, but in the aggregate, this amounts to an existential sum of *already booked revenue* for these two companies, both exemplars of the indie iOS and Mac community.

"Reinstall the app if you’ve already deleted it. Tap that ‘I Don’t Need a Refund’ button and feel good about it. We have a month. Spread the word.”

Tweetbot and Twitterrific Face the Cliff

There is something noble about two longtime rivals — competitors, yes, but with nothing but deep respect and camaraderie for each other — facing this terrible cliff together, with dignity and grace, considering their users first, as ever.
