I *love* watching these old-school technology videos. Check out this great one from the archives, all about #unix from Bell Labs!

You know everything we're supposed to do with passwords.

Most people don't do it. It's not your fault. The system is broken.

Kill passwords. New "passkeys" tech can help. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/01/10/lastpass-breach-kill-passwords/

En inflytelserik konspiratorisk statskuppsförsvarare har nära band till regeringsunderlagets absoluta toppar. Vad säger regeringschefen? Partiet räknas ju trots allt in i den påstådda ”majoritetsregeringen”. https://www.dn.se/sverige/konspirationsteorierna-framfordes-i-sds-tv-kanal/

Är alltmer kluven till att rapportera och interagera på #Twitter, pga den nya ledningen. Kommer att ha kvar mitt konto av researchskäl. Men vad tycker ni, ska journalister som jag fortsätta bidra till innehållet på den plattformen?

"So how about we make 2023 the year of the personal website? The year in which we launch our first site or redesign our old one, publish a little more often, and add RSS and Webmentions to our websites so that we can write posts back and forth. The year we make our sites more fussy, more quirky, and more personal. The year we document what we improved, share what we learned, and help each other getting started." https://matthiasott.com/notes/the-year-of-the-personal-website

I gave up 15 years on Twitter and 22,000 followers. I used my anniversary to invite others to follow me to Mastodon, and I pointed out that every tweet is a donation to Musk. We know what he is and what he's doing. He gave Michael Flynn his account back on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

I started my #Twitter exodus as a boycott against Musk. Now, I'm thrilled to be here. I miss a few things, but Mastodon is just built better. I feel like it makes me (and you) better, too.

Varje år dör omkring 1200-1500 personer i Sverige på grund av självmord, och långt många fler går med självmordstankar. Veckans #lördagstanke går till dem som förlorat någon som står dem nära på grund av självmord, och till de som går i självmordstankar.

Vi kan aldrig till fullo förstå någon annans inre tankar och upplevelser, men vi kan alla - utan att döma - bli bättre på att se och bekräfta varandra.

"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? https://linuxiac.com/linux-mint-lmde-5-the-best-linux-desktop-out-there/

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: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/691288/your-face-belongs-to-us-by-kashmir-hill/
