Turns Out The DOGE Bros Who Killed Humanities Grants Are Kinda Sensitive About It

Much of last week I had been working on a different article than the one this became. The American Historical Association, the Modern Language Association, and the American Council of Learned Socie…

With more and more studies showing regular (gen)AI use to have a negative impact on cognitive skills, and me now knowing that my genes carry a higher dementia risk (I'm currently supporting my mom through her diagnosis), I can tell you that this is yet another reason (on top of *plenty* others) for me to stay THE FUCK away from most of these tools and only use them in very rare and limited cases.

See also my AI usage policy, published recently: https://foosel.net/ai/

AI Usage Policy

This is a short post summarising my principles about the use of genAI tools, and my concrete usage patterns. I use the word “genAI” here on purpose, to distinguish the current invasive crop of LLM based “AI” from long established machine learning and game dev concepts. Principles When I create something, I create it. I don’t use genAI for doing the work for me. Purely assistive use of AI is something I consider if needed (see below for the details on that), but that is rare.

Höchstens Outlook/Teams in Firefox/brave auf arch linux. Am handy leider auch für 2FA (bis zu 10 mal am Tag). Es widert mich an, aber ich hab es auf ein Minimum reduzieren können.

The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.

Thank you for your support!

Signal ist US-amerikanisch und unterliegt FISA sowie dem CLOUD Act. Behörden können Daten anfordern – auch mit Maulkorberlass, ohne dass Signal es öffentlich machen darf.

Aber: Signal hat technisch kaum etwas herzugeben. Keine Inhalte, keine Kontaktlisten, nur Registrierungsdatum und letzter Login. Durch reale Gerichtsverfahren belegt.

FISA ist ein aufwendiges Geheimgerichtsverfahren – das wird nicht gegen einzelne Journalisten oder Aktivisten angestrengt. Wer gezielt überwacht wird, bekommt kommerzielle Spyware auf sein Gerät – Pegasus, Predator, FinFisher und Konsorten. Dann ist der Messenger egal. Der Angreifer liest mit, bevor die Nachricht verschlüsselt wird.
Die Schwachstelle ist das Endgerät, nicht das Protokoll.
