Yesterday when typing in a Google doc, autocomplete suggested the name of an interview subject. I do not store any qual data in Google Drive and all my transcripts use aliases anyway, so it freaked me out. I’m guessing gdocs uses gmail data (at least addresses) as autocomplete fodder and I know I have emailed this person from my university email (gmail) account. I’m guessing AI is going to lead to a lot of inadvertent data leakage as autocomplete++ generates more content. Be careful out there.

"Core memory uses toroids (rings) of a hard magnetic material (usually a semi-hard ferrite) as transformer cores, where each wire threaded through the core serves as a transformer winding. Two or more wires pass through each core. Magnetic hysteresis allows each of the cores to "remember", or store a state."

Hi #InfoSec friends. I am about to start a new security/privacy/tech podcast with my friend @0xBennyV . We are thinking of doing a deeper dive on a topic or two per episode. More of a behind the scenes of the story/topic rather than a lighter view or news-like feed. I would be interested in people's thoughts and a few polls over the next couple of weeks. Please boost for reach!
What is an ideal target length to learn something, but not take up too much time in your busy lives?

Hey, I thought we atheists were going to be obliterated, but instead we end up soaking in a sitz bath? Most anticlimactic, and even the build up was tedious and lacking in surprises or drama.

musing about a former period in my life; time spent as Moffett Field Cubicle Monkey toiling away at a SPARCstation in a “temporary office trailer” built in the 1950s. the trailer was situated across a parking lot from a Really Big Wind Tunnel Building 🌬️, and as The FNG my “office” was there.
that building is/was big enough that it created & shaped it’s own wind currents, something the local hawks used to take advantage of when seeking crunchy daytime snax 🐭

It's been nearly 9 years (!) since I sat down and tried to figure out how development for the Apple Lisa worked, using the LisaEm emulator, and documented my findings https://www.highcaffeinecontent.com/blog/20140527-Lisa-Pascal-Development-in-Lisa-Workshop

But no one at Mammoth app has said a word. No one in the #Mastodon community has provided an alternate explanation.
I'm not a journalist. I'm a blogger. I'd rather blog. If I could call up @taylorlorenz and say, here bud, take this story because I think there might be some wholesale speech suppression going on, I would. But we are not besties.
The only journalists writing about Mastodon, are the ones with very generous and glowing opinions about #Meta's involvement. What's a guy to do?

This is behavior on Mammoth app is not new. I wrote about it back in December, where I show that large chucks of posts under the #threads hashtag do not exist on one app but exist on all others, including the web app.
My dudes, if you have an alternate explanation that isn't a ghost mod layer over a third party app, I would love to hear it. Throw egg on my face. I'm here for it.

Just for the record, in my opinion it shouldn't be legal for President Biden to order Navy seals to assassinate Donald Trump, and if he did that, I would be OK with him being prosecuted. Trump and I apparently disagree about this, which is weird.

Whether this distinct moderation level is disclosed or not, is hard to say.
This notice appears on #mothSocial's content policy. To me it reads "These policies do not apply to Mammoth except they absolutely do." Lol
I'm not a lawyer and do not speak #legalese so I don't know. 🧵

#Mastodon client #MammothApp appears to use a moderation layer separate from server-level #moderation, where posts are removed exclusively on this third-party app.
I screen recorded the event.
This particular post was by Seirdy, and is the third time in a month this has happened to him.
Here's the thing, other odd behavior resulting in missing posts has happened a lot, to multiple users. All on one app. A lot related to #threads
I posted a thorough write-up about it back in Dec. 🧵
