Latest comic. A British consumer rights group examined unnecessary data harvesting by “smart” devices, including air fryers connected to phone apps. While these devices may not pose the greatest privacy risk in our everyday lives, they are part of a growing Internet of Things capable of collecting data when and where we least expect it.

In 1958, renowned photographer Berenice Abbott captured a pivotal moment in the history of #technology—an engineer carefully wiring one of IBM's early #computers.

The engineer’s focused expression and the complex wiring highlight the early stages of a technological revolution that would transform industries and society.

The first text message was sent on this day in 1992 by then a 22-year-old engineer Neil Papworth to wish "Merry Christmas" to his colleague.
"It didn't feel momentous at all. For me it was just getting my job done on the day and ensuring that our software that we'd been developing for a good year was working OK."

If you are seeing this post that is likely because you followed me before at my old account at @fiery@mastodon.sdf.org
The fine folks there apparently were having some scaling issues and since I also wanted to be using a server software that is less wasteful, I moved here to bsd.cafe, graciously hosted by @stefano@bsd.cafe
If you are unsure whether you want to follow me, what is likely to be seen here is mostly pictures of #vegan food, #nature, #baking, and you will may also see me sometimes ranting about #technology, #programming, #privacy. Some of my interests in technology include #unix, #openbsd, #golang, #security. Glad to be on this new instance, hello bsd.cafe and snac.bsd.cafe people!

INNOVATIONS IN HYPOCRISY
1. WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY SOME TECH EXECS NOT TO WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.

2. YOU MEAN "INNOVATIONS" LIKE CRYPTO AND AI, WHICH USE SO MUCH ENERGY THAT OLD POWER PLANTS ARE BEING BROUGHT BACK ONLINE?
EXECUTIVE WITH PRIVATE JET IN BACKGROUND - NOT A PROBLEM AT MY PRIVATE OFFSHORE PARTY COMPOUND!
3. IN SOUTH MEMPHIS, A NEW AI DATA CENTER RUNS ON METHANE GAS GENERATORS THAT SPEW POLLUTION-AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD ALREADY HAD BAD AIR QUALITY.
EXECUTIVE CLIMBING STEPS ONTO PLANE - A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR A CHATBOT THAT SWEARS!
4. AND WHY IS MICROSOFT SELLING AI TO FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES TO HELP MAXIMIZE PRODUCTION?
EXECUTIVE ON PRIVATE JET TAKING OFF - CAN'T TALK NOW-I'M LEAVING ON MY JOURNEY TO NET ZERO!

Some of you don't know this:
I mean, the #technology
Mastodon gGmbH was talking of suing them once: you have to post the source code if you use Mastodon code (AGPL-3.0 license). #Trump avoided a lawsuit by doing that
Anyway its corporate owner #TrumpMedia isn't doing so well
Too bad, so sad
It's like #crypto: a meme stock. No inherent value, purchased by degenerates playing casino hoping other fools will buy in so they can cash out at a profit
Just another conjob
