We are excited to announce the National Federation of the Blind Radio Network (NFBRN). Broadcasting 24/7, this dynamic station brings together a diverse mix of content from the organized blind movement, including legendary speeches, Braille Monitor articles, recent podcasts, convention highlights, uplifting stories, and live events.

NFBRN is available on any Amazon device by opening "Nation's Blind."
@JonathanMosen I can't access the station from my Alexa app as it doesn't appear to recognize "Nation's Blind". Hope there's a direct Url to listen on another device or something.
Fun fact: Did you know you can open the quick settings from within Windows setup OOBE screen using Windows +A and disable Wi-fi from there? That's right. No need for messy commands. Just, go in there before it asks you to connect to a network, and toggle Wi-fi off. Can't believe they don't block the quick settings pannel.
Salesforce Inc. is cutting jobs as its latest fiscal year gets underway, according to a person familiar with the matter, even as the company simultaneously hires workers to sell new artificial intelligence products.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: Anthropic, the company that made one of the most popular AI writing assistants in the world, requires job applicants to agree that they won't use an AI assistant to help write their application.
Workers in DC are fighting to block Musk's minions.
"About 100 Federal employees and supporters...blocked the doors to...‘data miners’....The small group of young men eventually left without entering after the protesters would not let them near the front doors."
Nearly 100 Federal employees took part in a protest now into its second day of a takeover by Elon Musk surrogates of the high administration arm of the Federal government.
Er, wait... that $100M contract with Elon Musk's Starlink that Doug Ford "ripped up"? Doug Ford signed that deal himself when Trudeau wouldn't make a deal with Musk, conning Ontario taxpayers out of $100M for a service worth less than $14M.
Now he's calling a snap election while taking credit for undoing his own crooked deal (with added penalty costs to Ontario taxpayers). The news is only covering his ripping up of the contract, not the origins of the contract to begin with.
Recently I read about a massive geolocation data leak from Gravy Analytics, which exposed more than 2000 apps, both in AppStore and Google Play, that secretly collect geolocation data without user consent.

The ecosystem is moving ... away from corporate centralization and mindsets. Billionaires are out, federated and multi-player systems are in, if we gather the many chats, gossips and happenings around #fosdem correctly. Dispersing ourselves around Bruxelles the last couple of days was very enjoyable (thanks Sun!) and helpful to orient in convivial directions in this otherwise extraordinarily stupid 2025 timeline ... thanks to the many people we enjoyed conversations and hang outs with! ❤️
...which informs us that "There are indications that CVE-2024-53104 may be under limited, targeted exploitation". The vulnerability in question, though, is CVE-2024-53104:
...which is in the uvcvideo camera driver. Either I'm missing something badly, or the only way to exploit this would be to plug a malicious camera device into the phone. I can see why they would want to fix this, but I'm not sure it's a red-alert situation for most of us?

Unless you don’t mind Elon Musk, and his team of unelected, illegitimate techbros sifting through all your social security personal/financial data, CALL YOUR THREE CONGRESS MEMBERS TODAY AND TELL THEM TO STOP DOGE!
Rep. Jamie Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"
