One huge impact mass FOSS adoption would have is that there would be a lot less software and hardware churn. Commercial nature of proprietary technology is the main driver for constant upgrade cycles we see. Companies need to constantly sell products to stay in business, and this means you have to deprecate old software and hardware in order to sell new versions of the product.

my main client has basically been saying "Yea i have some updates for you to do" for like 6 months and we never do them. so it's an extremely minimal amount of system admin stuff that an AI agent could probably take over within a year or two.

don't get me wrong i am definitely taking advantage of this pause in work to deal with other stuff like getting moved onto my property (thus reducing expenses) but still it's rather disconcerting

A new satellite constellation called SWIFT aims to predict dangerous space weather events up to 60 minutes before they hit Earth, giving more time to protect vulnerable technologies.

A heliophysicist and space weather expert explains:

Spacecraft equipped with a solar sail could deliver earlier warnings of space weather threats to Earth’s technologies

As more satellites are launched into orbit, space agencies are looking at how to predict space weather events that could harm them.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown.
God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

The Lord who commands armies is on our side!
The God of Jacob is our protector! (Selah)

Come! Witness the exploits of the Lord, who brings devastation to the earth!

He brings an end to wars throughout the earth;
he shatters the bow and breaks the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.

So if you've installed Windows 11 recently, you're familiar with the very lengthy setup process where you can uncheck a lot of toggles to try and limit what the OS collects.

What the OS will collect is the following:
- Microsoft Store Logs
- Network data
- Hardware information
- Accessory data
- Application-related data
- Event metrics

You'll also send complete words that you typed or wrote, not just statistics. You'll also send speech recognition data, and activity history, so every document you opened, website you visited...

But that's just what Microsoft tells you about. Recently, a youtuber called "The PC Security channel" analysed a completely fresh Windows install, using Wireshark, and what they found was is that Windows makes a few connections to third parties it never really told you about.

THEIR VIDEO:

  • trustedsource.org.
  • scorecardresearch.com
  • Bing and msn.com
  • privacyportal.onetrust.com

So what exactly can Microsoft do with all this data?

Well, they have more than enough to completely fingerprint your device, they can reliably tell what you use in terms of apps, and what type of content you watch, and they also basically can have a keylogger on your computer. And finally, Windows sends some data to third parties.

Fortunately, you can disable all the option stuff straight from the settings.You can go to the privacy and security options, and go into each category and disable everything there.

You can also completely disable the telemetry service. Just hit Windows + R, and in the run dialog, type services.msc. In there, look for something called "Connected user experiences and telemetry", double click that, and in the "General tab", you can set "startup type" to "disabled".

Apple talks a big game when it comes to privacy, but in the end, is it really true?
Out of the box, macOS sends to Apple your IP address, location, and some usage patterns, like all the apps you run, and when you run them. Other telemetry data, out of the box, includes browsing history, search history, crash data, performance and diagnostic data, location information, health information if you use that on an iPhone for example, all the info you entered in your AppleID, the device serial number, payment information, everything you bought using that Apple ID, and potentially your government ID.

Fortunately, macOS lets you disable virtually everything that's being collected. You can just head over to the Security and Privacy settings, and in analytics and improvements, uncheck everything.

Now, how about Linux? Well, Linux based operating systems, or at least desktop Linux distributions don't collect any data out of the box, with a few exceptions.

The first one is Ubuntu, who will collect telemetry data out of the box, with no personal information at all. It's just hardware data, but it could still be used to fingerprint your device. Canonical doesn't currently have any ad server that I know about, so they probably only really use this to know what their users actually use and focus their efforts on that, but if you're uncomfortable with that, you can disable it at install.

Some Ubuntu derivatives that use the same installer might also have that kind of telemetry. On top of that, you have the ability to turn some entirely optional telemetry on in KDE's settings; and GNOME also has a telemetry tool that you have to install manually.

I live in Chicago and this city feels so full of energy in the summer. There are constant festivals, events, people are hosting cookouts, everyone's outside. It feels like a constant party. You pay for it in the winter though.

I lived most of my life in South Carolina. Last year, I made the mistake of visiting SC in the summer. I had to say no to so many plans in Chicago and leave beautiful weather to visit the hottest, muggiest, no-wind-est place on earth. In Columbia, SC the pride festival is held in October because if it was held in June, people would just die. I told my friends and family that they visit me during the summer and I'll be around for the holidays.

I just created an account on the newly-launched social media platform UpScrolled.

First impression: clean, really easy to sign up to and get going. Format looks like a mix between Twitter and Instagram.

I like the core ideas behind this platform. It's based in Australia, with servers in Ireland. Created by Issam Hijazi, an Australian-Palestinian, and backed by Tech For Palestine incubator.

So, unlike Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon, Palestinians and Arabs will not constantly have to deal with shadowbans or suspension.

It promises to be activist, artist, and organiser friendly. Will be interesting to see how the community develops.

Download on Google Play Store or Apple App.

This is my account

You can now download UpScrolled. The new place to speak up, share your work, share your life and actually be seen. If you’ve been waiting for a real alternative to Instagram, this is it. Why we needed UpScrolled Let’s be honest.

Some Dems are terrified to be blamed for shutting down the government. What leverage do we have, they whine. THE PURSE:

1. The budget on offer is going to be absolutely horrific; reject it and OFFER BETTER.

2. MusktRump has already shut the government down by firing so many thousands of people.

3. DEMANDS:
a. no budget until he rehires all those people they were illegally fired;
b. a SANE budget; and, most importantly,
c. FIRE MUSK & RATS AND ELIMINATE DOGE.
