Here's my question. How do Dems go from having 20 Rs against extension to facilitating any renewal with unanimity? Data is obscure Does anyone have any idea where to get this info? AP reports "handful of Dems" helped-who? Is Jeffries even whipping votes against? apnews.com/article/cong...

Maybe the other Tech giants who used Anna's Archive to train their AI and claim fair use can find it in their self interest to pay it 🤑 very cheap ROI

All the pictures of ICE I've seen in multiple blurbs are from the back. So they've been asked not to cover themselves but it seems like publications are making a coordinated effort not to aid identification efforts. Complying in advance by outlet lawyers to avoid a 1A lawsuit or asked by the admin?

I can't imagine a grant is submitted in anything but pdf. The tech luminaries converted a pdf to excel for what reason, in 2025? Not even word?

Before they paused it, they were asking experts to opt out. But they weren't providing a list of experts-you're hoping to get that in discovery according to your newsletter. So it sounds like it's designed to fail. Beyond copyright,other legal concepts to consider is fraud and deceptive practices

I just want to say that typed “granular” three times and my phone changed it every to “gradual” three times. All of the tech wants us dumber, more boring and easier to control.

Hey @davekarpf.bsky.social! as a @wired.com subscriber, I expect to be told of a (September) hack by them, not Techspot. As a reader and contributor, did you get an email acknowledging it even happened? www.techspot.com/news/ Unsurprisingly, this wasn't covered in their 2025 hacks roundup story.

The group, which goes by the name Lovely, said it reached out to Condé Nast months ago to warn them about six vulnerabilities it had discovered.

I already said the journalist(s) own the company. there's no investor. Actually the opposite, readers are subscribers. Wired is also paywalled after a few articles. What kind out outlets do you read? AI slop and hallucinated content theft? Or is it all just knee-jerk reactions to headlines with you?

FinDoxx as chilling effect, must add to the "dissent is not allowed" tactical repertoire for future study. Weird that the Democracy Dies in Darkness newspaper doesn't include how much did Bezos donated, not just the headline amount, but the dark money SPACs, shell corps, etc., in every single story.

Seeing how the only device they make that has sold are surveillance glasses, and given how it Facebook was basically a surveillance-run advertising vehicle, my answer has been and remains: surveillance.

Also, smaller point but I'm 37 and I was taught how to look up index cards so you weren't the last generation! They were definitely around for a bit longer in schools than public libraries and universities before it all went digital.

Starting my day with this piece, I am also not nightmarish about card catalogs going feral. It's the totalizing edits made by people claiming bibliomancy and their ability to remove any democratic dissent that I'm nightmarish of. It's the people and the politics for me, always.

"having recently listened to a webinar sponsored by the American Bar Association that discussed the use of AI in the legal world" bad AP for proving no context of what webinar and what it said. What's ABA's role in AI proliferation, or were they warning lawyers and it went over plaintif's head?

The Info claims "Meta erected guardrails around how it develops new products to better protect users' privacy. Now it is lowering the rails to release products faster" Guardrails like what? Sarah Wynn-William's book belies this claim. Were those guardrails documented or just yadayada? A real loss?

Does anyone have an alternative, non paywalled, version of the news documenting The Information's claim that "Meta Curbs Privacy Teams’ Sway Over Product Releases"? It seems this was repoeted Feb 11, 2025 @404media.co you got anything on this?

One of the refreshing things about Careless People's author is that because SWW isn't American, she's clear eyed about Facebook leadership's tech imperialism. It comes through over and over in the book. It's not breaking news to anyone who isn't American.

I'm not acting like anything, I'm asking a question. I'd like to have everything else about them explained. Because Universities seem to "have" money, but also don't, or can't, invest it in research, student funding, and a lot of other integral parts of their operations. So what are they for? Lmk!

It also totally misses the point of what politics is.

Isadora, PhD @1sadora.bsky.social · 13/03/2025

"politicized" is such a misused word, on purpose. Arguably, if both parties refuse to talk (aka compete) on the issue because there is consensus that it's either good (to have it) or toxic to discuss it. That's bipartisan and therefore not "political" but of government. Oligarchs want to remove gov.
