@kashhill Can face surgery become more common due to desire for a reset of my facial recognition?

"New Linux users are probably wondering, “What could happen to Ubuntu?”. But, folks, history recalls many occasions when things moved in a different direction than the Linux community expected. Mandrake Linux, Red Hat Linux, CentOS, and so on are only a few examples": Mint’s LMDE 5: POC or the Best Linux Desktop Out There? linuxiac.com/linux-mint-lmde-5

@baekdal I remember when it was possible but I only did it on a very few occasions. More often going to the cinema. Or watch what was on TV, or reading a book or talk with friends.

My book on facial recognition technology comes out on September 19! Over the last two years, I tracked down the tech's early pioneers, found the people fighting against its worst impulses, and dove into the history of Clearview AI, the start-up that first drew me into the topic with a radical person-finding app that giants in the field, including Google and Facebook, had deemed taboo. It feels real now because there's a release date and a preorder button: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/6

Idag blir det julens andra lutfiskmiddag.
En delikatesshöjdpunkt enligt mig!

We talk about telemetry and other surveillance methods by software. On the other hand, it means that someone else is interested in me and what I do, and can have use of what I do. Well.

Idag firar jag två månader på Mastodon och vill därför passa på att boosta personer/konton som på olika sätt gör upplevelsen här intressantare:

@jwp I am on my walk from Photoshop Elements. I have moved to , started to use in addition and will likely use more as well. I will keep use my Corel Pro 3 as well, at least for a while.

@picturavis @thelinuxEXP Very much like my walk. From Photoshop Elements to , and started with as well and will likely use more also. I still use PSE to some extent, and also my Corel Pro 3.

@shawnp0wers Agree (first one). But I use emoji very little. Often they are so small on my screen so I don’t see them good enough and if I see them I have problems to know the interpretation and if I know I am uncertain if the sender knows it! And even more if international. Today I learned I should not wear a green hat in China (I have already forget why).

@eliasr @samuel @dfri En reflektion, inte motsägelse: Mobiler och kontantkort ger ju den här möjligheten till anonymitet. Traditionell telefoni ”POTS” ger ju inte det, där vet man tom var tfn står (med undantag för vidarekoppling). Vanliga debet-och kreditkort ger inte anonymitet, men mynt och sedlar gör det. Det fanns en kort tid ett cash-kort för småbetalningar som var anonymt.

Så himla bra av @eliasr från @dfri, föreningen för digitala fri- och rättigheter. Väldigt dåligt med förbud mot anonyma kontantkort.

Staten har inte att göra med vem jag pratar med. Övervakningssamhället måste få ett stopp! Länder kan snabbt förfalla på några år. Se på Ungern eller Polen.

The upgrade to Linux Mint 21.1 (from 21) was like a short summer eve walk. Nice and joyful. I like Linux Mint Operating system! blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4454

@quirk Thanks, seems to work in Thunderbird. Four posts are noted in the feed. Funny date for the archive... Screenshot attached for reference, if of interest.

@quirk Do you have an RSS-feed as well? I cannot really find you have one when I check source code, but I'm not so skilled.

@eliasr @reality2cast @dsearls @katherined @eze_lanza Interesting thought Elias that I haven't thought of. Another question I have, how does AI fact check? Eager to hear what the podcasters have to enlighten us!
