How the BBC chose to report on the US and Israeli attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran:

1. It used “dead” instead of “killed,” softening the violence and removing agency.
2. It relied on passive construction, carefully avoiding naming the perpetrators — the United States and Israel.
3. It added “Iran says,” subtly framing the massacre itself as an allegation rather than an established event.

#iran #israel #bbc #news #journalism #Mediawatch #us #trump #genocide #islam

Screenshot of a BBC news headline on a mobile webpage. The headline reads: “At least 153 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says.” The BBC logo appears at the top, along with menu, search, and profile icons. A timestamp below the headline says “20 hours ago.” Red annotations have been added over the image: the word “dead” is crossed out and labeled “killed” with a downward arrow, and “Iran” is crossed out and replaced with “US/Israeli” with another arrow, indicating suggested wording changes.

Microsoft banned the word 'Microslop' in its Copilot Discord server, then began restricting access after users started posting 'Microsl0p' and other funnies. Microsoft CEO and AI chief wants you to stop using words like SLOP and Microslop because it upsets them a lot. Lmao. https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/microsoft-banned-the-word-microslop-in-its-copilot-discord-server-then-began-restricting-access-after-users-started-posting-microsl0p-and-other-funnies/ Maybe you shouldn't force Copilot AI on everyone and steal their data to train your shitty AI and then every day tell the world how they are scared as AI is going to replace 80% of jobs?

@vfrmedia @soatok and even then I would not be surprised if someone found an exploit in my game, its the attitude upon being made aware of said exploit that is very very important.

I'd trust software that had 1000s of reported vulns if the author was responsibly mitigating them vs. one with like 3 but the author was like "meh you're just using it wrong"

I gave the Mastodon share button a pretty prominent location, top right of every blog post. I like it. I generally like the implication. I like that the SVG icon is inline.

I like that because its the only social share icon it communicates an "anti-corporate" vibe

Good News! 🚨👀

I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:

Privacy Guides' new Activism section! :awesome:
https://privacyguides.org/activism/

The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛

As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.

I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights ✊🔒

Also, can't remember a time listening to a #BehindTheBastards episode where Robert and Sophie sounded so tired and disgusted.

The amount of power and influence Epstein
had is disturbing. So many people and institutions involved. It's surreal.

Not to rehash "the left has no liberal Joe Rogan" discourse but, listing to this episode reminded me—oh yeah, billionaires don't like funding things that call out billionaires. But they'll throw money at an anti-trans podcast (like Epstein did).

So the left relies on small donations to people we think are spreading the gospel. I suspect the donations get smaller the further left you go because centrist and some libs also don't like certain ideals out there.

Also, the 48 Laws of Power book has been devastating to corporate culture. It reinforces "main character" syndrome, and has everyone reenacting their own personal House of Cards episode.

Whichever MBA course taught a whole generation of business people that brevity in email equals power and status, should be abolished. Whoever wrote that course should be tarred and feathered.

The nature of my business allows me to work with many different corporate offices over two decades. I can confidently say that communication has gotten worse over the years.

Everyone is trying to be a boss by sending one word emails. No one is communicating.

I am now being informed that in this -- The Year of our Linux Desktop 2026 -- it is impossible to take an arbitrary UTF-8 string and render all of the characters in it.

You just can't get there from here.

Good to know.

You also need to consider that the reporter in question is one of the more credulous pro-"AI" reporters around and whose coverage has been so PR-laden in the past that I know people who stopped reading Ars Technica specifically because of him (and maybe their super pro-Musk rocketry reporter).
