Something I really like is reading articles through my RSS feed reader (I use News from @nextcloud ). #RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is still just a brilliant old bit of tech that lets you find and read what you want, without obnoxious algorithms or questionable web design getting in the way.
Some time ago, Cory Doctorow @pluralistic gave some great tips how to use RSS: doctorow.medium.com/you-should…

They are excitedly looking for updates on how our community is convincing politicians to dump U.S. based social media and join the #Fediverse. It's almost like they have a vested interest in your activities and efforts. Hmm....

RE: infosec.exchange/@hacks4pancak…
I have been watching this story simmer for several days. I've been wary of it. It fits too neatly into the criticisms and warnings many of us have been raising. But it's starting to look like, yes, they are using an LLM to make critical decisions.
At the same time I have heard parts of speeches from the US Secretary of War.* I have been dismayed by his shallow thinking. It doesn't help that his speeches also sound like they are also composed by an LLM.
