What Apple is doing with its plans to scan content on your own devices (and, to a lesser degree, what it was doing earlier with its News app profiling you on your own device) is an attempt to redefine what it means to violate your privacy.

It doesn’t matter where your privacy gets violated (on your own device or in the cloud). It matters that your privacy is being violated. The violation of privacy isn’t the scanning of the content, it is the notification of a third-party based on the scan.

Wales moves to alert level zero, but Drakeford warns it isn't a 'free for all' https://nation.cymru/news/wales-moves-to-alert-level-zero-but-drakeford-warns-it-isnt-a-free-for-all/

I stopped listening to #TED Talks a long time ago. It seems like 90% of the speakers are "thought leaders" trying to apologize for the failures of the current system - capitalism/neo-feudalism/whatever you call it.

The world is burning and these thought leaders have duct-tape solutions which help the rich ignore the problems and feel good.

Ignore the TED thought leaders and pay attention to the public intellectuals instead (e.g. Douglas Rushkoff, Naomi Klein, Richard Wolff, Cory Doctorow etc.)

Three months since we reported residents in Skewen were living in “constant fear” of a repeat, it’s happened.

They fear the drains can’t cope with heavy rain since the mine shaft blow out - but the Coal Authority says drainage issues are a matter for the council.
