Updates on class action lawsuits!

I got a payout last week from the Yahoo data breach: $61.08

And $32.32 from Zoom privacy suit

Those both felt like real compensation for once

A while back, I stumbled upon a file I consider the largest piece of evidence revealing how hundreds of data brokers trade personal data on everyone, including super-sensitive data, globally.

Massive investigation by US-based @themarkup and German @netzpolitik_feed, I think this is a must-read for everyone interested in the future of digital technology:

I am helping a young mom who has two children. Her partner was killed in a car accident, and as he had no ID, no file open with AB works, and was unemployed, she's a full-time mom, who paid for the funeral. Now she has no food, hygiene products, etc.

If anybody wants to help, DM me.

If Reddit's management weren't thick as a brick they'd have dealt with their third-party app "problem" by buying up the top ten third party apps (eg. Apollo), removing the ad-blocking, but giving it back to moderators.

That's how Amazon handled rival online discount/second-hand bookstores, eg. Book Depository and AbeBooks.

Sneaky, and nobody noticed until it was a fait accompli.

"According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I.J. Good's intelligence explosion model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity
