Dangerous to be right in times as this ...

Truth Warrior - You're walking into one of the most advanced surveillance systems ... Walmart

Just because surveillance is widespread doesn't mean we have to accept it. Our new license plate frame and sticker bundle won't prevent your car from being tracked, but it can help bring attention to an issue that affects everyone on the road.

Age-gating the internet isn’t the answer. Many of the best ways to protect the privacy of young people are identical to the steps adults should take, but it ultimately starts with a security plan.

Sick of paying subscription fees to all the major tech companies for software you don’t even enjoy using? Now’s the perfect time to hunt down alternatives. www.eff.org/pages/i-wan...

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Speed is not everything. AI is a nice tool but it does create problems as well. One is that all the "content" AI produces has to be checked by humans. And as AI makes us lazy i.e. dumb, how can we if we lose this ability?

C++ teaches wonderful things, like that you should let your friends touch your privates

Just learning that Vimeo, a YouTube alternative, was bought by Bending Spoons, I am reminded of how important it is to leave Big Tech. Bending Spoons is Italian, so a step better than anything from the USA, but still, get on the path of freedom and join PeerTube instead!

Age verification laws that require users to possess a current passport, driver’s license, or similar to prove identity exclude critical populations. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Yes, switching to Linux sounds scary. But it’s not as hard as you might think, and you don’t even have to fully commit to it. www.eff.org/pages/i-wan...

coding is an art form and its just as harmful to use ai to do it as with any other art

The story of C++. It's all you need for your history education. ;)

The DMCA prohibits removing copyright information from existing works. It doesn’t create a new right to have that information copied into every new work. The 9th Circuit got it right today in Doe v. Github. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

It's high time for us to understand that computers and very stupid. Utterly stupid, without any trace of intelligence.

Reading The psychology of software teams by @grimalkina.bsky.social I constantly have to stop and contemplate my experience over the past 40 years and why the life of a software engineer is still so overlooked. "How do we convince our bosses to do more of these things that actually help us?"

In April 2005, Linux kernel devs lost access to their source control tool. Linus Torvalds' response? Build a brand-new distributed version control system from scratch. Within 10 days, Git was tracking itself. Today, it’s the global backbone of modern software development. bit.ly/4zyL0yf #Linux35

From F-Droid to independent devs, the entire Android ecosystem is under threat from Google's new mandatory registration decree. See why 67+ orgs are saying no: keepandroidopen.org

A reminder of Google's coming authoritarian limitations on Android. Freakin' fascists.

Maybe the solution is this simple? open.substack.com/pub/ultrapro...

Found an interesting course on operating systems and already the introduction got me hooked with this lovely quote. No idea if it's an actually valid quote but the message is wise: As Confucius said: ’I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.’

This could be an interesting Meetup! Unless you program bare metal embedded you always have an OS as a foundation, so, good to know something about it. :)

Read this over the weekend as I heard Helsinki is a quantum computing city! The book is a nice introduction, easy to read, and awakens your curiousity for more. Like the IQM Academy, which will be my next source. :)

I wrote a new book: Quantum Computing For Software Engineers. For those who'd like to learn about the realities of the industry, and consider joining it. QC architectures, software stack, compilers, pulse-level, and more. The book is FREE! Or you can pay what you want. leanpub.com/quantum-comp...

Could ISOP DC/DC converters implemented with GaN transistors be the solution for "perfect" audio amplification?

Google sucks. The EFF warns that Google's developer verification creates "a pathway to censorship." Developers in restrictive countries, anonymous open-source contributors, and privacy tool maintainers are among those most affected. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social

#AI. It's "just a hype" but there are always some useful bits in it, like #LLM in this case.

Privacy is so much more than "acting in secret". A Proton account is a great start, their VPN service well worth a try.

Does anybody know of any amp designs playing PDM through class D GaN FET to loudspeaker? I have just found PWM variants, like Peachtree GaN-1 or Orchad Audio's Starkrimson. Why destroy the signal through PCM? #hifi #highendaudio #electronics #GaN #amplifiers

I'm definately a loudspeaker first person. The next pair will be Aspen, the only question is what I can afford...

This is for all Swiss people. Some idiot politician wants to put all the country's data into the hands of Microsoft. Which means at the whim of Trump. Insanity! Please sign this petition.

"Over the past decade, Google lobbyists met with the [EU] Commission at least 420 times, and spent well over 60 million euros on lobbying". Fuck Google.
