‘New York Times’ Mamdani smear shows how out of touch the paper is with progressives, especially
The New York Times’s shocking race-science investigation into Zohran Mamdani shows the paper will stop at nothing to upend the progressive star. It is a clear sign of how the paper is stuck in the worst muck of the Israel lobby.Philip Weiss (Mondoweiss)
Corporate media is trying to take down Mamdani. This is why they’re failing.
Pushback against mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been fierce. That includes the mainstream media, which is trying to brand him a socialist to negate his progressive and popular policy proposals.Taya Graham (The Real News Network)

"Privacy is Dead" Video:
The more obvious threat is to your home security, and to who inhabits that home. Most devices use a cloud service to store data. But while YOU can't access this data, hackers definitely can, and have in the past.
Look at EUFY, the smart camera system that proclaimed everything was local and not in the cloud.
lifewire.com/why-ankers-eufy-c…
In March 2021, hackers breached a server for security cameras, gaining access to live feeds for hospitals, women's health clinics, prisons, police departments, and even schools.
finance.yahoo.com/news/hackers…
Alexa speakers were also hacked, with malicious actors getting access to banking details, voice search history, and even access to the various skills and commands you could ask Alexa.
avira.com/en/blog/these-are-th…
Or, still on Amazon, their Ring range of devices was also easily hacked.
nordvpn.com/blog/ring-doorbell…
With access to your smart home devices, hackers could remotely disable the alarm, disable the cameras, and just wait until you leave to go and grab everything they want. They could even have a full map of your house thanks to your robot vacuum which diligently created that map for them.
Same applies for privacy, but the main people who benefit from that are the companies that sell you the products.
Most companies that make smart home appliances don't care about the smart home, they care about the data these appliances can give them, and how they can sell access to that data to advertisers.
And again, why would that matter? We're already giving away most of our data to Google, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and a lot of others.
But it's not just data about YOU, is it? It's data bout your home, and everyone who lives in it. Your significant other, your kids, your visiting friends, family. As long as they stay in your house, their data is also going to the company who made your appliances.
But why you probably SHOULD care is because that data isn't going away. And it's available to any government that has laws that gives it access to.
Basically, here again, if your data is going to a server that's not yours, then the company that hosts it probably uses that data for profiling, and various governments around the world probably have access to it as well.
Now, of course, you CAN set up a smart home without using cloud based products. There's a very cool thing called home assistant. It's open source, it can run on something as small as a raspberry pi, so you can self host it, and all the data stays on your local network, where it's not 100% safe, but it's still way safer than being on the open internet.
Home Assistant integrates with tons and tons of services, like homekit, alexa, google assistant, zigbee, philips hue, samsung smarthings, google cast, Z Wave, and more.
BUT home assistant isn't perfect. First, out of the box, it's local only, so no controlling your stuff when you're not on your wifi network. You can solve that using Home Assistant Cloud. But guess what: you're still using other cloud services like a voice assistant for example to communicate with Home Assistant.
Why Anker’s Eufy Cameras Upload Scandal Shows the Dangers of Home Automation
The whole eufy camera debacle raises a good point; even if you choose a reliable brand, how do you know your security cameras won’t leak data, or worse, be hacked to spy on you?Charlie Sorrel (Lifewire)

July 7 - Robert A. Heinlein birthday!
American science fiction author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction, and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction.

N. E. Felibata 👽 reshared this.
It's the birthday of science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein, born in Butler, Missouri, in 1907. He studied physics and mathematics at UCLA and then began writing science fiction, or, as he preferred to call it, "speculative fiction." His novel Stranger in a Strange Land, published in 1961, became a cult classic.
He said, "I think that science fiction, even the corniest of it, even the most outlandish of it, no matter how badly it's written, has a distinct therapeutic value because all of it has as its primary postulate that the world does change."
