even if you never use a microsoft product, people you interact with whom you trust, who may intend to respect your confidences, will unwittingly be running recall.

#OTD in 1896.

Guglielmo Marconi applies for a patent for his wireless telegraph.

On 13 May 1897, Marconi sent the first ever wireless communication over open sea – a message was transmitted over the Bristol Channel from Flat Holm Island to Lavernock Point near Cardiff, a distance of 6 kilometres. The message read "Are you ready".

His patent is available here (later claimed by Oliver Lodge to contain his own ideas which he failed to patent):

Massive leak at #Google confirms what we have all known for years, just how much is tracked, stored, and monetized.

Even clearer now how Chrome tracks and reports EVERYTHING you do. For heavens' sake delete it now and move to Firefox

Also they've outright lied for years about their data collection and search practices.

Looks like 'Don't be evil' wasn't enough. ;)

Just, get off Google products already!

WOW this is incredible & terrifying.

Israel spent over a decade spying on ICC prosecutors to "retroactively investigate incidents of interest to ICC to prove Israel’s legal system is accountable."

Meanwhile Israel has banned all journalists from Gaza and has killed 100+ journalists. This is totally what you do when you're not guilty of war crimes.

How much longer will the USA, UN, & the world enable this injustice?

"#Google's in-house docs about search ranking leak online, sparking #SEO frenzy"

Key points to remember :

› Clicks and post-click behaviour are very important ranking factors
› NavBoost, a re-ranking system based on clicks, has a direct influence on rankings
› Google integrates click data from #Chrome
› Clicks are used to weight links in SERPs by ranking pages on 3 levels
› Google applies white lists for sensitive queries

Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

Sorry to say, archive.org is under a ddos attack. The data is not affected, but most services are unavailable.

We are working on it & will post updates in comments.

OSM data powers new and ongoing research all over the world. For example, The United States Census Bureau has developed a socioeconomic profile of the commuters affected by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, in Baltimore, based on OSM data and OSRM.

Google search thinks you should use glue to stick together a pizza as its AI is trained on Reddit, where 11 years ago a user called “fucksmith” posted suggesting it was a good idea.

I did not ask for this, nor consent do it, nor got any email saying this was going to happen. This is quite invasive and I've thought about blocking and reporting as spam.

I feel like I'm relatively up on tech news but do not recall an article about this.

🎦 The Decline Of Western Civilization (1981)

an american documentary filmed through 1979 and 1980. The movie is about the Los Angeles punk rock scene and was directed by Penelope Spheeris. In 1981, the LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates wrote a letter demanding the film not be shown again in the city.

I am a bit sad because of my Thinkpad, but I successfully deployed FreeBSD to 5 Pis. Might share config.txt for HDMI display output.
