Moonlighting as an independent reporter while studying law and on a side-quest to learn about computers and security. Formerly 4ZZZ, now doing @RedActionMedia
Peter Gassner“Researchers measured autistic people against neurotypical expectations and called every difference a deficit. They tested empathy by measuring in-group preference and missed commitment to universal fairness. They measured creativity by counting the number of ideas and missed originality. They saw moral consistency and called it rigidity. They saw deep engagement and called it rigidity. They saw sensory richness and called it disorder.”

Neil BrownPerhaps I am some kind of dangerous computer radical these days, thinking that one should be able to buy or make a computer, install one's choice of OSs and software, create a local user account, and get on with one's affairs, privately and without interference.
Quiet enjoyment of one's computer.

evacideYael's post demonstrates something about digital privacy/security that I think a lot of people miss: there is no right answer, just a series of trade-offs. And every person has to make their own decisions about which trade-offs are worthwhile. https://blog.yaelwrites.com/options-for-phones-at-protests/
Options for Phones at Protests
Simply showing up to a protest leaves you susceptible to all sorts of surveillance, including cameras, drones, facial recognition, and more. There's not always a lot you can do about pernicious street-level surveillance, but you do have a lot of choices when it comes to your phone. Because there's no
MissConstrueRED FUCKING ALERT
The United States is dropping land mines around villages in Iran. Images posted to social media Thursday show what experts said are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran, in what appears to be the first instance in more than two decades of American forces using the weapons.
The photos show American BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines, which are released from an aircraft as part of the Gator mine scattering system, according to four munitions experts who reviewed the imagery at The Washington Post’s request. The United States is the only party in the Iran war known to possess the system.
LAND MINES ARE A WAR CRIME! What in the actual fuck are we doing here? This is a violation of law, of sense, and of humanity. Den Hague for everyone involved.

Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website
"...a system that evaluates your company’s landing page in real time and, if it decides the page won’t perform well enough for a specific user, replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built, they see what Google's machine learning model thinks they should see instead."

Dave RahardjaWhat an inspiring, powerful letter by Emily Tucker, Executive Directory of the Center on Privacy and Technology, Georgetown Law.
“But the great thing is, you don’t have to go along with this, and I urge you not to. You can refuse to use the chatbot. You can tell your professors that you don’t want them to use it or to require you to use it. At a minimum, you can demand that they assess the work of those who actually want to do the work themselves differently from the work of those who want the chatbot to do it for them. You can organize against “AI” requirements in degree programs and against data products, surveillance systems, and automation in all aspects of your university experience. You can create student groups dedicated to the rejection of all these things, and to the imagination of what you would like your education to be like instead.”
