Komplett fail 🤦‍♀️

@fm_volker @clementaubert Thanks to you, it has been a pleasure to work with you!

This may be fun.

Some may recall my battle with #NHS who refused to update my email address as only 6 characters. I sold the domain I was using and raised with ICO where literally someone else was getting notices about appointments and medications. ICO said NHS has “correct email address” (a lie). I even took to parliamentary ombudsman who said ICO did nothing wrong (another lie). #GDPR right to correct personal data is clearly ignored when it is the NHS!

I had given up. But …

This writer never uses AI.

The purpose of AI is to produce minimally viable text.

My purpose is to produce text that expands your mental foundations to be more skilled and more compassionate. Tech book, fiction, doesn't matter, that's the goal.

These purposes are incompatible.

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

Oberon 3 for ARM (on the screenshot: RPi2) is neat. It is always refreshing to try operating systems and interfaces that live in a completely different paradigm from *nix or win-like. I'm running a pre-release from 11 hours ago.
