So I’ve just had a quick play with this and yes, it works. Essentially BitLocker has a backdoor. https://github.com/Nightmare-Eclipse/YellowKey

Mitigation = BitLocker PIN and BIOS password lock.

I wish everyone was as clear-eyed about LLMs and generative AI as this person from the knitting community is: https://katedaviesdesigns.com/2026/04/29/knitting-bullshit/

“The public will be astonished to learn that in the British justice system a protester can now be convicted of criminal damage for disrupting an arms factory and then be sentenced as ‘terrorists’ without having been convicted of terror charges and with this having been kept secret from the jury.”

Any web #hosting company will rent you space on their servers.

At Henhouse Computing Cooperative, you *own* the server.

You also get a vote in how the service is run and share of any profits.

Now taking beta testers at https://henhouse.coop.

To keep people connected during internet shutdowns & blackouts, communication networks must be operational before and after the disaster or shutdown. To be effective, they must be widespread so that people can get access to them reliably, and they must be usable by a majority of the community. (2/9)

Hello #Fediverse,

I'm looking for privacy-friendly and secure #job boards in Europe 👀

Alternatives to platforms like #LinkedIn, #Xing, or #StepStone that respect user data and avoid excessive #tracking?

Any recommendations for #GDPR-friendly, EU-hosted services? 🙏

Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences to share?

Will AI & its associated technologies turn everyone into gig workers, with performance heavily monitored & dynamic pricing imposed on wages tonsure 'efficiency' for their employers? Indeed, perhaps for many this world is already upon us.... If AI doesn't take your job, its going to take your (relative) autonomy!

There is no good news here for most of us, just more control & exploitation of one sort or another...

I like the Registers headline: "Anthropic’s bug-hunting Mythos was greatest marketing stunt ever, says cURL creator"

So sorry to everyone I owe replies to … the move was far harder on me than I anticipated. A number of items need to be completely thrown out which is a huge unexpected expense… and only about half my stuff actually got moved in the time we had.

Needless to say I’m having to accept that my baseline is shattered and it might be a bit longer than usual before I can be writing again.

Nothing good comes from pushing our bodies past what they can do, so I’m focusing on rest and finishing this move.

Honestly I wish there was secure and affordable housing for disabled people for life. Being forced to move when you can’t even get out of bed is one of the most stressful things you can be put through … and it Happens to way too many of us.

I fully plan to write an article on housing instability and discrimination against disabled people once I’m back to baseline !

In the meantime I need suggestions for cheap but safe online retailers where I can replace clothes. Due to a severe mold problem in old apartment almost everything has to be tossed. With my severe MCAS I can’t wear a lot of fabrics so if anyone knows of a unicorn store please let me know (my go to Canadian brand has become too expensive for me)

@mayintoronto one of the things that amazes me the most is that they're spending billions of dollars on equipment to multiply trillions of matrices per second just to produce software that's bad at math

Looking at this: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/594972/new-poll-coalition-partners-tumble-but-could-still-form-government why, oh why, doesn't RNZ point out that Curia Polls, run by David Farrar, long time neoliberal champion and Atlas Network friend, have avoided signing on to the guidelines for fairness & transparency in polling which *most* of the other pollsters subscribe to? (see https://img.scoop.co.nz/media/pdfs/1707/Political_Polling_Code_2014.pdf ) Here's a report on how Curia Polls operates 'outside the industry body entirely': https://www.elocal.co.nz/Article/7710
