"Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm.

The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it."

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

“A chatbot did not kill those children. People failed to update a database, and other people built a system fast enough to make that failure lethal.”

Maven, the program Google was forced to pull out of and Palantir took over, was the system that identified the girls’ school as a target.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying

LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity

My Dinner With AI

Ron Gilbert's often incoherent and bitter ramblings about the Game Industry

After several days and MANY hours of work, CHANGELIST for upcoming raylib release has been handcrafted. 🔥

It required manually reviewing +1800 commits and PRs, organize them, reword comments, check involved functions/modules, cleaning, revisit code...

No, AI could't do it.

"The most wildly successful project I’ve ever released is no longer mine. In all my years of building things and sharing them online, I have never felt so violated."

Google pretende bloquear la instalación de aplicaciones de terceros salvo que los desarrolladores pasen por su aro particular (y por caja, claro). Esto amenaza de muerte proyectos FOSS como F-Droid.

Aquí hay info sobre el plan y sobre cómo oponerse. Echad un ojo y haced lo que podáis. Y RT, porfa.

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

De parte de mi sangre medio andaluza: FELIZ DÍA DE ANDALUCÍA, HERMOSURAS.

Claude Code blog post: We are modernising COBOL.

The fear among investors : AI will replace humans, billing hours will drop to zero & IT companies like IBM will go to >/dev/null

The reality: High stakes systems that runs banks, airlines, govts cannot just let a "black-box AI" rewrite their core code without massive oversight, testing, and human accountability. Otherwise, everyone will lose their money/pension/ investments.

What a mess. It is like there is no common sense left in this world 😂
