@theregister Is this one of those, "Horses are faster than cars!" things from the early days of cars?

Thank you for my two primary email clients. (K-9 Mail and Thunderbird.)
Open Rights Groupā ļø The Online Safety Bill returns to the House of Lords this week (UK).
We sent an open letter from 80 experts and groups last week, warning of the risk to billions of messaging app users.
Peers must remove 'privately' from the Bill. One word is all it takes.

Safeguard private communication Over 80 civil society organisations, academics and cyber experts from 23 countries have written to the UK government to raise the alarm about proposed powers in the Online Safety Bill.
requiem š¦«Twice now Iāve experienced the fallout of bugs in my coworkers code and when I looked into it the bug was introduced by Copilot.
Think about that for a second.
Iām trying to accept that everyone I talk to at work about these systems (I wonāt dignify them by using the term āintelligenceā) ignores my warnings and treats me like a fool for refusing to use them, but now I have to clean up the mess others make by trusting these things.
This isnāt sustainable.
GojiroAlan Turing is widely recognized as a hero and a genius. Heās considered the father of theoretical computer science and AI.
But he was also a gay man whom the British government chemically castrated.
Turing killed himself because of the way his government treated him.
What more might he have done had he lived?
As this wave of hatred sweeps the US, I wonder how many gay and trans Alan Turings weāve already lost, and how many weāll continue to lose.
@revk I'm looking at the pressure graph and wondering if my source is broken, or if our climate has reached a tipping point. (I like your graphs; what are you using to plot them?)

The bit about a lawyer being stopped from entering a music hall in the US because its facial recognition system picked up that she's part of a law company that's suing them is even crazier than I thought.
The law company isn't suing the music hall - it's suing a restaurant, in another state, which is owned by the hall's parent company MSG Entertainment. MSG gone ahead and harvested photos of all the lawyers in the firm and fed it to an image recognition system to ban them from every MSG Entertainment owned location.
People always tell me that if you've got nothing to hide then you've got nothing to fear. She's got nothing to hide and they still went after her.
If this doesn't start making people worried about facial recognition then there's serious trouble coming.
