Honestly rooting for Kessler syndrome at this point.

People, the story about the toothbrush botnet does not pass the most basic sniff test.

@jwz I’ve read several articles here in Swiss Media and all of them more or less state the same and reference each other. The source for the statement seems to be this guy from Fortinet Switzerland, Maybe he can provide more info why they insist this was a real attack on a Swiss company. https://mastodon.social/@Kensan/111888840179218333

All you people getting excited that Jack Dorsey's new social media site no longer requires invite codes are like those people tearing off their masks and throwing them in the air as soon as they weren't legally required. You have learned nothing. And you are making the world worse.

@jwz I'm sure he learned his lesson by being lavishly rewarded for all the bad decisions he made at Twitter. Nobody recognizes their mistakes and correct behavior like a dot-com billionaire. Just look at Elon.

@jwz OMG, how silly can humans be. First I thought it would be a hoax but it's true: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/02/india-spy-pidgeon-suspect-china

Once again, "AI" is revealed to be an army of mechanical turks in a call center. Cruse "autonomous"vehicles require 1.5 drivers, and manual intervention every two and a half miles: Half of Cruise's 400 cars were in San Francisco when the driverless...

@jwz as far as I'm concerned this rock solid proof that driverless cars aren't doing better than human error and that they don't know how to make them do better than human error

Terry Pratchett wrote about the Gooseberry Disorganizer, operated by an imp inside. https://wiki.lspace.org/Dis-organiser Aren't "autonomous vehicles" just same? Technology calling itself magic, when it's just a machine using trapped imps as underpaid labor?

Drone delivery: going just as great as self-driving cars. Amazon's much-hyped drone project is dropping small objects on driveways. Customers are not sure what it delivers beyond minestrone. "I know this looks like science fiction. It's not," said...

@jwz Nothing is going to happen to Amazon when they drop a can of soup on a person, but the day they flatten a yappy dog Bezos is going to have to move further than Miami.

@jwz Drone delivery would make sense for something with a high value to mass ratio. Like, drugs. And that industry has some experience with low level flight and sketchy landing sites.

Can't take anyone seriously who consents to calling Facebook "Meta", Twitter "X", Google "Alphabet", anti-abortionists "pro-life" or the republican party "Grand". Doing so just makes you complicit in their disinformation psyop.

@jwz See I think X is bad enough re-branding that it's a case of giving them enough rope. (And tbh Meta is borderline on that basis. It feels cold and creepy, befitting what they are.)
Adam Katz :donor:
@jwz The sad reality is that the other side is waaay better at branding. At the end of the day, it's people versus profit, and an increasingly deregulated economy favors wealth over wellbeing.

Breaking: Scorpion stings frog. As I keep saying: maybe using a web browser owned by the world's largest advertising company is a bad idea. Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome: Don't let Chrome's big redesign...

@jwz@mastodon.social Just use Firefox y'all. Maybe Mozilla has had a few problems, but nothing like this! It's faster than Chrome, better than Chrome, and it's #FOSS... completely unlike Chrome.

@jwz Edge is no better. I don't know about Safari. If you want to use Firefox, you're going to need to troubleshoot websites / add-ons from time to time. IMHO it's worth it, but I've got almost 25 years of experience working with open source projects.

@jwz @daedalus Nope, that was a bug (and never actually did anything other than make an empty connection request): https://defcon.social/@mysk/109740918967662912

@jwz you probably want to read this article, if you haven’t already https://eclecticlight.co/2023/01/18/is-apple-checking-images-we-view-in-the-finder/ I think it does a good job of explaining what is happening (and why) under the hood, and ways to disable the behavior if you are not convinced anyway. Hope it helps! |
