New #zine alert ‼️ Inspired by @stefan@stefanbohacek.online’s zine about the #Fediverse. I’ve noticed that so many #artists only use #Instagram despite worries about how their #data and #artwork might be used without their consent. Maybe this can convince someone to try the Fediverse. #datasovereignty #MastoArt #socialmedia

Your face is becoming your password, and you can’t change your face.
Facial recognition systems turn your identity into a permanent digital key. If that data is breached, it’s not just another hack — it’s a lifelong vulnerability that can track you, expose you and be nearly impossible to undo.

It was unfortunately what would be termed today as "AI slop". If I remember correctly, most of #Data's attempts at art turned out to be some form of regurgitation, sometimes exceedingly boring.
He even noticed it in #Inheritance in his mom's playing of the violin, as evidence she was artificial.
The most damning version is #InTheory when he basically turns into a LLM chatbot to try to have a girlfriend.

Watching ministers talk about NHS data strategy is like watching someone confidently rewire a house with no understanding of electricity. The language sounds polished, the reassurances are endless, but the substance just isn’t there.
Choosing a company like Palantir isn’t a neutral technical decision. It’s a long-term structural commitment with real implications for control, access, and public trust. Yet it’s presented as a simple procurement exercise.
And when political careers move on, as they always do, there’s rarely any reckoning for decisions that reshape public infrastructure for decades. That asymmetry should concern everyone.

Dangerous apps - In the web of data brokers
What many smartphone users know: the apps on their phones collect detailed location data.
What few people know: the information often ends up with a global network of data brokers and advertising companies.

Good-natured but justifiably grumpy, middle-aged, neurodivergent, dog servant. I am in the process of building, and settling into a new life, and becoming more comfortable in my skin after multiple formal diagnoses in my mid-fifties. I tinker with stuff, computers, bits of wood, plants, and I love music, mainly jazz, and contemporary classical, and also enjoy a good book series. So, essentially I love to potter about, it's my happy place, and it's good for my wobbly brain. #bpd #cptsd #adhd #asd

My technical know-how falls short by a long way and I'm having a little trouble figuring out whether I get what I want from the Fediverse. By my limited understanding AT Protocol allows for a 'nomadic' id/datastore (PDS) but with ActivityPub, the nearest we get to that is by having your own instance of an app of your choice and plugging it in/out of other peoples, but your data can only really live in *your instance of *that app??

Thank god! Signs that the lights are coming on re Palantir and the NHS.
‘a growing recognition that the issue of Palantir and potential reputation risk had moved beyond the Labour left and Greens, who have led criticism in the past’
‘When you look at some of the things Palantir’s leaders have said in the States, when you look at their political views and their outlook … If you were to put [Thiel] and some of those Palantir bosses on the political spectrum in the UK, they would be well off to the right of even Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative party’
Let’s get them out of our data
