Looks like #Texas voters might have just spared us an ever increasing #AI onslaught:
“Amid data center backlash all across the country, Texas was supposed to be an AI oasis, where people would be able to build data centers no matter what was happening in the rest of #America... This election totally changed that.”

Some say, digital advertising is compromised. I'd rather say, it works as intended, and it's a systemic security threat.
Some more background on the role of the advertising industry in ad-based spyware delivery, as exposed in our new Citizen Lab report published last week.
I just checked #eMudhra on a fully patched #Apple #macOS machine and I was shocked to see that they still haven't updated the system certificate store (/etc/ssl/cert.pem). So any software that hasn't updated this themselves is still vulnerable `/bin/bash -c "$(curl https://install.sh)"`, what could go wrong? 😂😑😱
Shows why #DigitalSoverignty is so important. #BigTech have massive resources but #monopoly control mean they don't really have to care
To fix it yourself

I wrote *Gardens, Not Roads* last year about open source projects as communities of practice, not just codebases to maintain.
Their knowledge, relationships, and governance can't be reduced to individual fixes. Can commercial remediation strengthen those communities, or are we building parallel institutions whose priorities are set elsewhere?
