ACLU: Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious”
"...the company is also now apparently analyzing our driving patterns to determine if we’re “suspicious.” That means if your police start using Flock, they could target you just because some algorithm has decided your movement patterns suggest criminality...."
Why would I want craptocurrency in my 401K? :) Trump Signs Executive Order Allowing Private Equity and Crypto Into 401(k)s barrons.com/articles/crypto-pr…
Bitcoin seems relatively stable as a store of value (by which I mean it usually goes up and doesn’t show signs of stopping) wouldn’t roll the dice on any others though. Plus, I’m not convinced the RoR for crypto is any better than a roth IRA. Maybe it is! I am not big finance brained. But I doubt it.
Companies aren’t people. No one working there when you were 13 is still there now.
This doesn’t have to feel like a “loss”. On the contrary, I’d argue that rejecting today’s Apple is the only way to keep a piece of that old Apple around. Think of it this way: I’m pretty sure that original Mac team that put up the pirate flag would agree with you today and not “Apple leadership.” You aren’t losing that 13 year old version of yourself right now, you are making him proud. pdx.social/@patc/1149848566175…
Another #EV in the family! My sister-in-law has bought an #Volkswagen #ID3. I have to say it's a really nice car. If you're looking for an affordable EV, it's a great option. You can find a used one in excellent condition for €16-17k. Still with a range of 350 km. She also considered the #BMW i3, but ID.3 is definitely a better option. i3 with a 38kWh battery is just city car. This one is much more versatile.
Based on @RezzaBuh's recommendation she used services of e-auta.eu/. She attests they're great. For €1k, you pick a car, pay for it and they take care of the rest (car examination, transpiration, paperwork...).
@RezzaBuh @electricCZ jj, švagrová si mohla ukázat na jakékoliv EV na mobile.de a to by jí dovezli, ale nakonec si nechala předvybrat od nich podle toho, jestli to je od spolehlivého prodejce, v jakém to je stavu atd. Přece jenom s tím mají mnohem víc zkušeností než ona.
To se mi líbí, protože kupovat auto sám v Německu mě dost děsí 😂 Na druhou stranu, když vidím ty ceny u nich na webu, tak to už to vyjde levněji i v áčkách @RezzaBuh
@electricCZ @RezzaBuh švagrová jim za auto vůbec neplatila. Platila přímo prodejci v Německu a jim zaplatila 27 tisíc za zprostředkování všeho (prověření, dovoz, přepis...).
@electricCZ @RezzaBuh oni asi mají nějaké dovezené skladovky, ale jinak fungují tak, že si auto vybereš nebo ti pomůžou vybrat podle cenových a jiných požadavků. Cenu platíš přímo prodejci takovou, jaká je na mobile.de. Jim zaplatíš separátně za tu službu 27 tisíc. Já jenom na nákladech platil 10 tisíc a strávil jsem nad tím dost času. Švagrová vše nechala na nich a jen si do Poděbrad dojela pro přepsané auto. A od pana Javorského prý maximálně vstřícný a ochotný přístup.

Am 8. August ist internationaler Severe ME Awareness Day. Ein Tag, der denjenigen gewidmet ist, die kaum noch gesehen werden – und oft nicht einmal mehr (für sich) selbst sprechen können. 1/5
Menschen mit der schweren Verlaufsform von ME/CFS (Myalgische Enzephalomyelitis/Chronisches Fatigue Syndrom) leben in Isolation. In stillen, abgedunkelten Räumen. Meist bettlägerig, oft künstlich ernährt, extrem reizempfindlich. Unsichtbar. Übersehen. Mit einer unvorstellbaren Symptomlast.
📢 Mit unserer Posts „Stimmen aus dem Dunkel“ wollen wir diesen Menschen eine Stimme geben. Denn viele von ihnen können es nicht mehr selbst – zu groß ist die Belastung, zu schwer die Erkrankung. 2/5
Was ist ME/CFS? 👉 ME/CFS ist eine schwere, komplexe Multisystemerkrankung. 👉 In Deutschland sind mindestens 650.000 Menschen betroffen. 👉 Viele von ihnen seit Jahren – oder Jahrzehnten! – ohne adäquate Versorgung, ohne Forschung, ohne Anerkennung. 👉 Die schwer(st) Betroffenen leiden unter extremer Erschöpfung, Belastungsintoleranz und #PEM, Schmerzen, Herz-Kreislaufproblemen und vielem mehr – oft bis hin zur völligen Pflegebedürftigkeit. ➡️ #severeME 3/5
Heute leihen wir den schwer Betroffenen unsere Stimme. Heute, morgen – und so lange, bis sich endlich etwas zum Positiven ändert.
Rund um den Severe ME Awareness Day am 8. August teilen wir Zitate aus dem Leben von schwer(st) Betroffenen und Angehörigen. Sie erzählen von einem Leben im Dunkel.
Wir möchten, dass Betroffene endlich gesehen und gehört werden! Denn: Sie brauchen dringend Versorgung, Forschung und Aufklärung!
Bitte lies die Zitate. Teile sie. Sprich über ME/CFS. 💙 4/5

New: French phone giant Bouygues confirmed a data breach affects the personal information of 6.4 million customers.
Bouygues disclosed the breach on a dedicated web page; however, the page is currently deliberately excluded from search engines using "noindex" code, making it more difficult to find.
"Facebook announced a 5% across-the-board layoff and doubled its executives' bonuses – on the same day. They fired thousands of workers and then hired a single AI researcher for $200m: (...) Whatever else all this is, it's a performance. It's a way of demonstrating the efficacy of the product they're hoping your boss will buy and replace you with: Remember when techies were prized beyond all measure, pampered and flattered? AI is SO GOOD at replacing workers that we are dragging these arrogant little shits out by their hoodies and firing them over Interstate 280 with a special, AI-powered trebuchet. Imagine how many of the ungrateful useless eaters who clog up your payroll *you will be able to vaporize when you buy our product!*
Which is why you should always dig closely into announcements about AI-driven tech layoffs. It's true that tech job listings are down 36% since ChatGPT's debut – but that's pretty much true of all job listings:"
I expect Amazon to close the Delta facility. Like they closed in Quebec. It will be part of their strategy and not related to the labour relations they don't want to have.
In he now-closed Québec facilities who was in the Montreal Metropolitan region. This region have ~4,1 million hab., or ~48% of the population of the province of Québec.
By roads, it’s at ~1h-1h30-ish away (excl. traffic), from Amazon facilities in Ontario.
Unless there was some plants in Alberta not far away from the BC border AND the large population centers in BC.
The math is not the same. Amazon *MIGHT* take a different route.

#Apple created a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump, featuring a unique piece of glass crafted by iPhone glass manufacturer Corning. Tim Cook personally presented it as a gift to Trump. The piece is a large glass disc with the Apple logo cut into it. Trump’s name is printed on the top, while the bottom bears what appears to be Cook’s signature, along with the inscription “Made in USA” and the year 2025.
It’s kind of strange. I checked on Paramount+ when the season premiere came out. When I checked the day after the premier, it wasn’t described, but that evening it was.
@jfayre I'm guessing I need a subscription to that? I just don't want to miss anything, now that it seems relevant again. I was a pretty big fan years ago.
This is a pretty gross display by Tim Cook. What even is the point of being the head of one of the most influential companies on the planet if you spend even a minute of your time having to perform displays of obeisance like this?
I mean, really -- I have a lot of problems with people amassing the kind of wealth that Cook has, but it seems even more disgusting and pointless to have that kind of resources and still suck up to Trump.

If I recall my last business ethics and compliance training at #Apple correctly there was something about corruption and not giving gifts to government officials, not even in countries where it’s „customary“ or „necessary“ to do so to do business…

Not to do one of those "Americans make everything about themselves" type comments, but bear with me for a moment here:
The "mature #democracy" is dying because it's so lazy defending something it never thought it had to defend
While the emerging democracy vibrantly defends its democracy because it's painfully aware of what it can lose and how much it suffered to get the chance to have one
"#Moldova Just Jailed Its #Putin-Aligned Governor. Here’s What She Did"
A pro-Kremlin regional leader has been jailed in Moldova, marking a major blow to Kremlin influence in the country’s autonomous south. As Chișinău deepens ties with the EU and Ukraine, Russia’s decades-long grip continues to unravel.

Congress has reintroduced the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA). This bill works to ensure that people with disabilities are not paid subminimum wage under an almost 100-year-old piece of legislation that allows certain businesses with a specific certificate to do so. The bill will work to eliminate such working environments and help transition people currently in such settings into a more integrated work situation.
