This made me giggle (yes, I realize the orcas are really just attacking innocent, eco-friendly, casual small sail boaters, but... still). #orca #meme

Dus als ik het goed begrijp: wanneer ik een film of boek download zonder te betalen of een betaalmuur omzeil, bega ik een misdrijf, zelfs als ik de kopie voor mij houd, maar wanneer OpenAI en collega's het hele internet zonder toestemming kopiëren en verwerken om geld van te maken, dan heet dat artificiële intelligentie en stuwen ze de mensheid vooruit?

This is more semi-meta, so do what you will with that, but I want to explicitly tie together two conversational threads from yesterday:

1. I think the structure of Mastodon really amps rumors and misinfo because the mechanisms we use elsewhere to pass around and find corrections (visible replies, quote-posts, search) don't work here.

2. Instance admin politics are rarely discussed in a public, easily re-findable place—that, too, fuels the rumor-mill, as we saw re: Meta meeting discussions.

If you see a black person cross your stream, you better follow them goddamnit. It’s white as rice in here.

The rogue 2FA app that steals scanned secrets is now ranked 18 on the German App Store for the productivity category. No wonder! The app disguises as a Microsoft app. It is the top hit when you search for "Microsoft Authenticator" and the developer has updated the screenshots in the ad card to highlight the word "Microsoft". Surprisingly, the product page of the app shows different screenshots with the word "Microsoft" removed.
The app now has 1.2K reviews, as opposed to 18 when we first addressed the app.
