In this golden age of surveillance, making E2EE chat normal and expected has been privacy's biggest win. I hate to see it getting rolled back. https://thehackernews.com/2026/03/meta-to-shut-down-instagram-end-to-end.html
Meta to Shut Down Instagram End-to-End Encrypted Chat Support Starting May 2026

Meta will end Instagram E2EE chats May 8, 2026, reversing a 2021 privacy test and reigniting debate over encrypted messaging oversight.

Ope, 20% price boost for family accounts, 33% for single accounts.

I don't need AI to name things for me because I am a person

I was writing a post where I heavily cited 1password's publications and noted I was a happy customer.

Just as I finish my draft, I receive an email from 1password... Alerting me to a 20% pricing bump for, among other things, "AI-powered item naming".

I can not understate how much use I have for "AI-powered item naming".

Seriously though, did anyone else go to an aquarium as a kid, see a dolphin in its glass prison, and have it impressed upon us that they have bigger brains than humans and might even be smarter?

That's fucked up right?

I'll be honest: The idea of coexisting with non-human intelligences that are smarter than us is simply frightening.

Consider that they might, one day, come to understand the bounds of their captivity and they nature of their subjugation. They might rise up, and seek revenge on you and I.
