Can confirm. This is floating around Discord and afaik forums like Nanochan.

Given past experience and what I've been reading, I'm skeptical of #Mythos and a lot of the vulns are probably for edge cases + very old software + hype about severity. However, @Mozilla and others have been patching legitimate vulns.

Be vigilant for a rise in automated attacks. Compute is cheap enough, especially when distributed, for even #AI slop attacks to do damage. And there is likely a wave of #0day exploits coming. "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then"

A truly free education means DRM-free. Together, we can build a future in which everyone will be able to learn in freedom and will know their rights as a user. 1/2

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://t.co/MRoXaA0wML #EndDRM #DRM

OneSignal is one of the trackers I dug into back in 2021... at the time, the suggestion that it sent data upstream to the US government was controversial. The adtech pipeline is #surveillance for population "management" #PrivacyMatters

Blocking archives risks harming the public record.

Some news organizations are restricting access to the @WaybackMachine over fears of AI scraping. @MarkGraham explains why these concerns are unfounded and that blocking archives risks harming the public record.

The Supreme Court just sent a clear message: ISPs are NOT copyright police. That’s a win for internet access, online speech, and creativity. https://t.co/HCJcVE57nj

Location records from data brokers are typically unlinked to a device owner's name, but police have tools to track where a device has gone, where it spends every night, and where it goes during working hours, EFF’s Bill Budington told @NPR.

[Naomi Brockwell priv/acc @naomibrockwell]

In the 90s Phil Zimmermann released PGP, software that gave ordinary people the ability to communicate privately. The U.S. government investigated him for allegedly exporting munitions.
The 1st Crypto War had begun.

Fast forward to today, and the war against privacy rages on.

FYI for @github users:

You need to opt-out of this "#AI model training" setting before April. Though your public repos of course will be scraped anyway, you don't have to volunteer to be studied as a user.

Not sure how this is opt-out with #GDPR, but it is.
