Looks like Chromebook is being replaced with something called "Googlebook" and it is full-scale Microsoft-style Surveillance PC. Apparently anytime you "wiggle your cursor" anything that is underneath the cursor gets fed into Google's surveillance AI https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/meet-googlebook/
One of these things that makes me consider detecting the platform from my webserver and blocking it entirely because the probability of whatever I wrote becoming an LLM input is too high
@da_667 I have a hard time imagining AI maxis being like "Oh wow I really want to go all in on GitLab now" after this announcement. GitHub and a plethora of agentic first corpos are going to eat them up while they spin their wheels trying to catch up as the bubble bursts around them.
I am *loving* how every site puts up a Cloudflare or other "checking your browser" delaywall, before I can read a page.
It's just like early '90s web, you'd hit a link, wait for up to 90s for the page to even respond, start loading in, images would be many seconds or minutes more.
The wait builds appetite. Did you *need* to see this page, or just *want* it? Triage those links before clcking.
Consider closing browsers & going outside, play some hackeysack & drink Jolt Cola, while Korn plays.
This community has been really wonderful.
When we started deploying the first #MeshCore repeaters around #Boston / #CambridgeMA we were just a couple of folks trying out this new thing after many frustrations with #Meshtastic, and today we are this enormous group of adhoc communities that have self-organized into a decentralized, off-the-grid mesh radio network.
I don't know what's more punk than that.
#reminder
you can have big heap , or you can be decentralized but you cannot have both
@bytebro sounds lovely! I haven't gotten true darkness since we had a city wide power outage a few years ago. 🥰
#Deepfakes are everywhere, but #DigitalForensics investigators are fighting back:
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
