NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.
— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.
Remember when Google's corporate motto was "don't be evil?"
Obviously, accurate location data on photos is more useful to a data mining operation like Google.
From Google: "Important: You can only update or remove estimated locations. If the location of a photo or video was automatically added by your camera, you can't edit or remove the location."
It's enshitification in action.

Meanwhile, in battery news...
Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an oxygen-ion battery with a storage capacity that doesn't decrease over time, leading to an extremely long lifespan compared to other batteries.
This battery can be produced without rare metals and could be used for in large energy storage systems, e.g., to store electrical energy from renewable sources.

'Digital Timescapes: Technology, Temporality & Society' published by Polity Books just arrived in post. Covers how the digital reconfigures time w/ respect to history/memory, politics/policy, governance, mobility/logistics, planning/dev, & work/labour. In my mind, 4th book in a set of Mapping Cyberspace, Code/Space, The Data Revolution, Digital Timescapes that plots spatial & temporal implications of digital infrastructure, software & data.

Oran Catts expressed some surprise at #Biosummit that in a past Biofrabricate event he saw that his Victimless Leather project was cited as seminal to the field of #CellularAgriculture. The project was an agitation to discuss how #technology should be used, yet in some circles had been seen as a proof of concept.
I'm reminded of old news from New Harvest when they shifted their mission to make explicit that #values are embedded in tech
