For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Looking at the world, I'm surprised not more people are pointing out that "AI at human levels" is really putting the bar on the floor.

Seilbahnen, Busse auf Stelzen, Flugtaxis und andere Technikfantasien dienen dazu, das Verkehrsproblem in Städten zu "lösen", ohne den Verursacher, den motorisierten Individualverkehr, anzugehen oder ihm Platz weg zu nehmen.

15 qm Platz pro stehendem Auto, plus 4m x Abstand halber Tacho beim Fahrenden Auto, besetzt mit im Schnitt 1.3 Personen sind in dicht besiedelten Gebieten nicht haltbar.

How is your day going?

I'm once again trying to reach the French government to let them know that, when calculating taxes, they forgot to account for 30K€ I already paid.

For the second year in a row.

Since they end up taking ~55%, I'd rather they get the numbers right...

PSA: auch wenn Miteigentümerinnen eine betrügerische "Impfkristall" Anlage gegen Kalkablagerungen installieren lassen wollen und das physikalisch-chemische Verständnis von Homöopathinnen und Heilpraktiker*innen haben und Erklärungen mit "wir sind ja alle keine Experten, wir sollten es probieren" abtun ist die Verwendung der Worte Betrug, Quacksalberei und Unsinn nur begrenzt dem Frieden auf der ETV zuträglich und ich sollte wirklich nie in die Politik.

I saw a YouTube Short where someone showcased a "relic" (personal digital assistant from the 90s) and I was like "oh how cool, they got the newer model" and then I needed more coffee.

If you feel that the green-left is too woke and progressive, but you also don't want to vote right-wing because you've got empathy and have learned at school where that went -

Please, take a sec to reflect on whom those "conservative" parties align themselves with and whom they enable. And what their themes are. And where that is going.

Are some people using their preferred pronouns really worth burning the world, Europe, and your own society down for?

This video still triggers honest to God PTSD in me 10 years later.

This is the permanent fate of a subject matter expert and a general audience in charge.

Alright, time to mask up more or start violently coughing, totally ruins your fitness otherwise.

... I'm talking about running, this time. Turns out even very small insects can be rather bad for your breathing.

Excuse me while I try to stop hacking and crying.

Is there any way to see what language a certain post is set to on #Mastodon?
The top-level HTML's "lang" attribute seems to be "en" always even for one I posted as "de" myself, and there's no flag or anything?
It seems to be completely absent even in the page's source. :-/

When sales says "Availability, Consistency, and Performance are of equal utmost priority" ... and you're like "but they really can't be"

Why are so many people responsible for IT who don't just understand the specific trade-offs but also the idea that not everything is possible?

The personal and work profiles on Android work so well what even I, as the owner of the device with it in my hand, can't manually share a screenshot of a "work" app to the other profile.
I use it to separate two identities and am the "admin" for both.

I hate how we're being held hostage by our devices.

Being able to filter a luggage shopping website by dimensions and sorting by weight is clearly a completely unreasonable expectation.

Nobody ever needed this functionality.

Orthopäden, die bei starken Schmerzen an den Fingergelenken nach minimaler "Diagnostik" Dinge aufzählen, die man in der Ernährung anpassen soll (ohne zu fragen, ob diese Hinweise relevant sind), und sagen, wenn's in 6 Monaten nicht besser ist könnte man ja Magnetfeldtherapie machen, warum haben die eigentlich ne Arztzulassung?

Ah, positiv: #Berlin hat wie zugesagt das #WastewaterSurveillance #Abwassermonitoring für #sarscov2 wieder aktiviert und auch vorherige Daten auf die neue, bessere Methodik umgerechnet. 👍

Leider auch positiv: der Trend seit Anfang April 😬

People who, without external reasons beyond their orgs control, schedule meetings attendees have to travel long hours for for Monday before noon ("Why you can make it if you get up at 6"), has anyone correlated them being in charge with attrition?

Iceland Air has two different sizing rules for an international and a domestic carry-on, which makes perfect sense if you're an international traveller who also has to take a domestic connection at some point.
