#Windows 11 is now automatically enabling #OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
"Quietly and without any announcement, the company [#Microsoft] changed Windows 11's initial setup so that it could turn on the automatic folder backup without asking for it."
Imagine your operating system forcing all your desktop files to sync to the cloud, without letting you know it would do that. Users should be aware of when their files are synced to any cloud.
Oh wait, I forgot... Microsoft has zero regard for user choice, #privacy, and #security.

They have instructions on this page connect.mozilla.org/t5/discuss… about how to use a custom URL which can point locally (instead of using online services); it mentions going to about:config and setting `browser.ml.chat.provider` to `localhost:8080/?q=` or whatever.
*If* they're even going to ship something like this, then they really should have something that's local *first* and actually open source and *also* not require a workaround hack and setting it up yourself.
I'm disappointed.

Liebe Mitstreiter*innen,
die #Bezahlkarte für #Geflüchtete halten wir u.a. für diskriminierend, entmündigend und verfassungswidrig - das haben wir schon öfter gesagt.
Auf dem Treffen zwischen Bundeskanzler und Ministerpräsident*innen letzte Woche wurden neue Details verhandelt, z.B. eine Bargeldobergrenze von 50 €. Gegen all das wendet sich diese #Petition des Flüchtlingsrat Berlin - wie wir Teil der Kampagne gegen die Bezahlkarte:
weact.campact.de/petitions/nei…
Gerne teilen!
Nein zur Bezahlkarte! Ja zur gleichberechtigten Teilhabe ALLER Menschen!
Die Bezahlkarte ist in unseren Augen: Entmündigend Die Bezahlkarte greift massiv in das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Betroffenen ein. Sie dürfen maximal 50€ Bargeld im Monat abheben, Überweisungen ins In- und Ausland sind komplett untersagt.WeAct

Sad news! The Living Computers Museum in Seattle is dead, and the Allen estate is auctioning off the vintage items. geekwire.com/2024/seattles-liv… They closed their physical doors near the start of the pandemic, but I had always hoped they might reopen.
I bought two vintage speech synthesizers on eBay, an Echo II card (for an Apple II) and a DECtalk Express, specifically to donate them to the museum. Now I guess they'll go to some rich collector who likely won't know what to do with them.

how can we trust them when they haven't done a single thing to concretely address problems and they have actually just push lobbyist written legislation that no Canadian (but the lobbyist) asked for.
Not saying the alternative would do better, but they clearly can't do it right now.
