"Its fascinating that the way advertising and apps work right now is simply how computer viruses, adware, spyware, and all manners of malware has ALWAYS worked. Growing up as a teen in the 2000s there used to be a program called Weatherbug that was pretty much considered unthinkable to ever have installed because of the way it knew your location and essentially EVERY adware, spyware, and antivirus software flagged it for removal immediately. It was considered best practice to never install anything. Never install toolbars, never install anything without consulting a professional or unless you were ad advanced user. I was trained in Comptia A+ for the Windows XP era and the best practice as a repair tech was to never allow the customer to install anything themselves if it could be helped.

And now just. Everything does this. Your fucking calculator wants your location data and business ghouls want it to be illegal to use a simple adblocker because not advertising to you hurts their feelings.

And now we have generative AI filling the internet with slop that can have SEO and more ads slapped on top of it? Google is breaking on purpose so you make more searches?

The viruses have won, everything is malware and everything is a scam. To use commercial tech is to be voluntarily mugged"

As of Wednesday, more than 8,000 #Italian #medical and scientific professionals have signed an open letter acknowledging their indebtedness to #Cuban #doctors and condemning the tightening of the 65-year US embargo on #Cuba by President Donald #Trump as he threatens “take” the island.

“Over the decades, Cuba has built a health system that was considered an international model, capable of guaranteeing universal access to care even in limited resource conditions. Since 1963, more than 600,000 Cuban health workers have served in more than 160 countries, including #Italy,” states the letter addressed to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Health Minister Orazio Schillaci.
