Kashmir HillAfter the report about the Girl Scout mom getting booted from Radio City Music Hall, I spent the last two days reporting out the use of facial recognition technology by the Madison Square Garden empire to keep hundreds of lawyers that work for firms that have sued it from attending concerts, sporting events and shows. It is a radical use of the technology by a private company and I am truly shocked by how forthright MSG is about its real-world block list. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/nyregion/madison-square-garden-facial-recognition.html
AnilHey, everyone who follows me who is hacking on somethigna round ActivityPub/fediverse — please reply here and share a link to your app/GitHub/Glitch! Would love to show off all the creativity that's happening right now. (And please boost so your friends can share their projects too.)
This game is UNBELIEVABLE. #WorldCup
Mike Masnick ✅Sorry... (really not sorry at all). I asked ChatGPT to write a Jay-Z song name checking John Mastodon, and the results were so much better than I could have expected.... #JohnMastodon
Casey NewtonThis is such an obvious point but it is so funny to me that Elon's free-speech crusade on Twitter lasted all of six weeks before he started indiscriminately banning reporters. Like what an all-time hilarious business story
MarmosetFrom @pluralistic:
"Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants – which allow blind people to see – lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust.
"Nano Precision Medical, the company's new owners, aren't interested in maintaining the implants, so that's the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus's 'bionic' eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.
"Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to 'do our best to provide virtual support' to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches."

Julia Evansnoticed this "brag document" blog post I wrote going around again. I think a really nice way to do it is in a group of people who support each other during perf review season. Sometimes it's easier for someone else to see how great your work is!

Thomas GronfeldtWas reminded of this during a #Microsoft event this morning. Still great.
