It still makes me really happy that Richard Karn decided to tell everyone he wasn't going to do NFTs with a smiling picture of himself. What a great way to do anything.

Exclusive: New report says Ireland could have built 50,000 new homes over the five years of the data centre boom - and cannot “afford” to continue building. Authors called for a moratorium on new data centres - and have hit out at government comparisons painting them as “our German car industry.”

For @motherjones.com, I looked into how Meta could be using disabled people to promote its Meta glasses to the masses. As one expert told me, “companies have used accessibility...as a Trojan horse for a tool that poses significant privacy and security threats.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Is Meta using disabled people to promote its glasses?

AI glasses are a double-edged sword for disabled people, who face unique risks from surveillance.

There's a lot to be said about this case, but a key point is that this was discovered purely by accident. Over 2,000 abusive searches of police records went undetected. How many others are there?

There's a genuinely terrifying attitude (that isn't just isolated to ResistanceSky, but is utterly prevalent amongst them), that the truth doesn't matter. That's it ok to post that fake quote, genAI image etc, because the other side have denigrated & destroyed the truth, and holy shit that's bad.
