Digital frames have always been popular, but the devices often look clunky. That appears to be changing with Aura’s new ink frame that @Techcrunch says “doesn’t even look digital."

WA police surveillance cameras: AI technology to monitor public spaces
WA police launch real-time AI camera surveillance to catch criminals
WA Police will become the first force in the country to use real-time AI-generated facial recognition in public spaces.
The state government on Friday launched the Overt Live Facial Recognition program with a trial of the cameras at the police academy in Joondalup
The technology monitors groups of people from police vans and compares faces against a database of targets in real-time.

A 2018 Facebook post from me:
tbh, i can see police body cameras being linked to facial recognition databases in the future, and becoming a tool of state surveillance used against the populace instead of tools surveilling the state and protecting the populace.

I'm thinking of writing a rust script to create an anki deck given a video file and a subtitle track.
One thing I'm not sure I should do, is how do I get a snapshot from a video file?
Does anyone know a good way to do this?
The script will go through all the timestamps in the provided subtitle file and take screenshots.

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference
‚A hacktivist remotely wiped three white supremacist websites live onstage during their talk at a hacker conference last week, with the sites yet to return online.
The pseudonymous hacker, who goes by Martha Root — dressed as Pink Ranger from the Power Rangers — deleted the servers of WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal in real time at the end of a talk at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg, Germany….‘

The Zine from 404media About ICE Surveillance Is Here!
https://www.404media.co/icezine/
"You are holding a zine about the surveillance tools used by ICE, and what we have learned so far about how you can resist this technology.
This zine was reported and written by 404 Media, a journalist-owned investigative website and now, we suppose, a print publication. Our status as a small outfit of reporters who own the means of production (a website), means that we have the freedom to report on the topics we believe are the most important. For the last year, that has been Donald Trumpʼs mass deportation
campaign, and the technology powering it."

SpaceX IPO values company at $1.7 trillion — but is it overvalued?
@USAToday reports: "A $1.77 trillion valuation would make SpaceX the eighth-largest company in the world by market cap, just above Saudi Aramco's $1.75 trillion and Meta Platforms' $1.5 trillion, but just below Broadcom's $1.8 trillion."

Ahaha you're not gonna believe this but we had a bit of a data breach.
Your data is probably for sale online now.
That means someone could easily impersonate you.

React-like syntax with WebComponents.
After spending some time with Lit, I really appreciated its lightweight footprint but wasn't a fan of the class-based components. While Vue offers a great approach, I still prefer the intuitive nature of React's syntax for debugging and deterministic rendering. This led me to a challenge: could I build a UI framework using WebComponents that completely eliminates the need for transpilation?
I have written a breakdown of the concept, the architecture, and where I want to take it. I highly invite you to take a look, check out the code, and explore the live demo.
* How it works: https://positive-intentions.com/docs/projects/dim/dim-jsx-webcomponents
* Checkout the code: https://github.com/positive-intentions/dim
* Storybook demo: https://dim.positive-intentions.com
Please note, while the project is open-source, this is a personal exploration rather than an attempt to launch "yet another framework." It is not production-ready and is built for my own upcoming project migrations, but I am sharing it in hopes that the methodology is educational or interesting to the community.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this approach. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or want to discuss the implementation details.

[quote] "The legal instrument protecting your rights as a user of Linux is less important than the commercial ecosystem built on top of it. And that commercial ecosystem as we have established is controlled by the same corporations paying a half a million dollars a year for board seats at the Linux Foundation. ... The message ... enforce the GPL, lose your friends ... violate it openly ... get a seat on the board ... The GPL is not dead but its enforcement mechanism has been systematically dismantled by the very organization that claims to steward it."[synopsis]
Linux Foundation has squelched the voice of the lay contributors and now corporations control the decision-making process.
Now that your contributions to GPL'd free software have created mega-millionaires and billionaires ... those same rich fat cats that profited from your free code now want to keep you from sharing your own free code or profiting from it while they violate the software license to cash in. They promote ideology campaigns employing useful idiots and ideological parrots to insulate themselves from criticism and hold themselves above reproach from the people they are exploiting to build their tech empire. The Linux Foundation has joined the empire.
I have said before that a new alternative operating system is required if software freedom and privacy are to survive. Linux is not the resistance against the system. Linux is the system.

Our latest discussion builds on previous conversations, exploring the alleged corruption within the Linux Foundation and Linus Torvalds's potential awareness. We'll examine the intricate relationship between user space and the linux kernel developer, diving into how these components interact and influence the broader linux internals. This video aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the situation, explaining the nuances of these operating systems and the impact on open source software.

"Removing anonymity from the web, which will inevitably happen when tech companies are required to identify and ban children, allows for easier government tracking and censorship of journalists, activists and whistleblowers [...] Non-profit and indie platforms could be forced to close, consolidating big tech’s power further. Mass surveillance systems, once constructed, could also be easily leveraged by governments and bad actors." - @taylorlorenz
SkiftOS : https://skiftos.org/
It's not a *NIX!
"skiftOS isn’t POSIX. It’s a fresh API and userland inspired by Plan 9, Haiku, and Fuchsia. Familiar ideas, different contracts."
Problem: the GPL is poison. It has polluted Linux and the Linux userland software so that only large corporations can afford to monetize it. BSD License or MIT License would be much better allowing small players to produce unique work without then being forced to share their source code with the AI hegemony racket.

"Ever heard of the Enuma Elish? It’s this ancient Babylonian myth where the gods got tired of working, so they created humans to be their slave class. Sound familiar?"
"In this video, I’m exploring how Silicon Valley is basically reenacting this exact same story right now. Except this time, we want to be the gods, and AI is the new slave class."
"I dive into the difference between being made in the "Image of God" vs. the "Image of Man" (Imago Hominis), and why that distinction matters more than ever. We aren't building a god; we are building a mirror—and the reflection isn't always pretty."
#AI #SiliconValley #Tech #ArtificialIntelligence #Religion #Myth
AI is not the future of anything except domination and control. AI is the death of the future and the return to a dark age of conformity and social thought control. AI regurgitates accepted dogma and is a bar to real research and inspired creativity. AI is a homogeneity engine.
People becoming dependent upon AI will be homogenized zombies. Of course the AI will convince them they are wise thinkers. The more obedient they are to their hidden masters, the black box owners, the more the singularity system will assure them they are the avant garde of gray matter.
I have already seen numerous instances of idiots depending upon AI to come up with ridiculous conclusions while defending them like Don Qixote. This is becoming epidemic among researchers and techies.
Watch out for the controlled opposition--public figures pretending to be against creeping enslavement while leading their followers to do absolutely nothing useful to curtail or stop the advance.
