Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Can't spend a Wednesday in Seoul without attending a Wednesday demonstration.

I need to stay away from Bluesky. Never heard of either Weetman or Rubner, so took a look at this thread and after destroying a chunk of brain cells trying follow dumb and dumber's arguments, I wish I hadn't bothered. Ignorance truly is bliss, and I don't need 23 and me to tell me that.

Microsoft are reducing the storage available on their 365 Family plan, but their FAQ manages to avoid answering the question with a simple, "Yes. Instead of 6 users having 1TB of storage each, there will be 2TB of pooled shared storage". They probably asked Co-pilot to write it.
Screenshot of Microsoft's FAQ which uses a lot of words to avoid a simple, Yes.

It reads, "Is this change a reduction in storage?

Total storage varies by plan, but the shared storage model gives you more flexibility in how you use storage across the subscription. Instead of dividing storage into fixed per-person allocations, those who need it most can use the available storage. For example, if the subscription owner doesn't share the plan, they can use the full shared storage allotment. Similarly, if one member needs significantly more storage than others, they can use more of the shared pool without being limited by an individual allocation."

Currently the plan offers 6 users 1TB of storage each i.e. 6TB, the new plan offers 2TB shared between all users

Finally gave in and bought a Kaweco Brass Sport fountain pen, and I love the weight of it. Obviously does nothing to improve my handwriting, but the extra fine nib helps a little, especially with Hangul

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

​Bottom-Right: "Tell everyone" loops directly back up to "Get new idea", creating an endless loop.
