The Unit42 report about ransomware being run by AI is false, it was marketing fluff. The report contained no actionable info and no evidence, and after the media ran it, they removed the ransomware claim entirely.

Meta remotely disabled the cameras on thousands of its AI glasses after owners covered or destroyed the little LED that tells people they’re being recorded. A software update spots a blocked light and turns the glasses into plain Bluetooth headphones. Meta sold 7 million pairs last year, so even though they estimate misuse at less than 0.1%, that’s a lot of creeps. Frames of reference matter.

Hello DNS experts!

What happens if domain names become too unreliable due to political interference from Trump and future US administrations?

Can we use IP numbers instead?

Do countries have to set up totally separate DNSes to have online sovereignty?

Do individuals have to dust off the BBS model?

Bloquejar el parlament per exigir drets i criticar als polítics traïdors per abandonar les seves funcions de garantir les necessitats bàsiques de la població és un dret fonamental que neix de la llibertat d'expressió, de reunió i de participació política, així es reconeix al TEDH.
Les practiques repressores i antidemocràtiques d'Artur Mas, Turull i tota la colla de CiU i de Junts que van crear la doctrina que despres l'estat els hi va aplicar, són il·legals, abusives i violen els drets humans.

“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Band practice, I told you.”
“Is your homework done?”
“Yes, DAD.”
“Be home by 6 for dinner.”
“But-“
“No buts, Mom’s making your favorite.”

@aeris @breizh @sebsauvage @Gilou bof. On peut croire ça quand on évite de regarder les ordres de grandeur. En pratique, c'est faux, mais pour ça il faut s'intéresser aux chiffres réels. Dommage que toi qui te prétends rationnels n'aille pas les regarder.

@cstross That doesn't sound like a good time. Best of luck!

Leeds folks, my sister told me about an upcoming anti-datacentre protest on 12th September https://noleedsdatacentre.wordpress.com/2026/08/28/join-our-protest/

Fellow hacker Timothy Sample gave an amazing talk on bootstrappable builds, that Jake Edge covered with a nice article in LWN:
