I wrote some weekend words on why you should think twice before allowing AI access to your email, calendar, or any other personal data. This may seem obvious to some, but perhaps not to others: the privacy and security risks just aren't worth it.

@dangillmor

I'm annoyed how the issue of police/ ICE employees using physical force refusing to identify themselves is being conflated with masks.

"Masked Men" becomes a shorthand for "people who refuse to tell you who they are"

The real issue isn't the mask, the masks are part of an incorrect belief that people working for the state should be able to do so anonymously.

No you may not. If that is a problem then perhaps there is something wrong with the orders you have been asked to follow.

New, by me: A new zero-day bug in Microsoft SharePoint is being used to mass-hack and steal data from companies and governments around the world.

🚨 Unit42 says if you have a SharePoint server exposed to the internet, "you should assume that you have been compromised at this point."

These three dots are the one thing that annoys me by far the most on Mastodon.

Roughly every couple of minutes the website seems to lose connection to the feed and I have to manually restore it.

After several years I'm losing hope that this will ever be fixed 🫣

My not quite 4 year old Pixel 5 wants to die, indicating it by falling into an infinite bootloop. Luckily, it wasn't quite infinite, and it managed to boot after all. But that means I'm on the market for a new #Android phone, unfortunately.

What people use these days? My choice of Pixel was mostly due to the least amount of crapware and tasteless custom launchers I'd find in Samsungs et al. Has anything changed by now?

Also, small size and without "AI"? Am I wanting too much?

Warning: fediverse scam alert

You've promised yourself that you'll sit down to just read a few toots and, two hours later, you've read 500+ toots, made six new friends, and installed Linux or BSD on your laptop.

What a scam.

TIL that Tom and Ray Magliozzi (better known to me as "Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers") opened a garage they called the Hacker's Haven.

"These were the days of car DIY so we thought, let’s open a garage where folks could do their own work and we’ll rent them the space and tools... We felt so sorry for most of these DIY wrecks (and we’re not talking about the cars) that we ended up doing most of the work ourselves."

😆

I like the ethos though:
