#BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization
https://rys.io/en/167.html
> BlueSky’s decentralization is a similar kind as with cryptocurrencies: sure, you can run your own node, but that does not give you basically any meaningful agency in the system.
> “Neutrality” and “speech” and “voice” and “protection from bans” is mentioned right there, front and center, in BlueSky’s overview and FAQ. At the same time moderation and anti-harassment features are, at best, an afterthought.
so the state of #Indiana launched a form where people can report schools for teaching about subject such as #LGBTQ issues or #BlackHistory.
it sure would be a shame if people flooded this form to the point it becomes useless.

I don’t know /why/ cleaning robots have microphones, but it can’t be good. What I /do/ know is that a microphone implies an input and an input implies a buffer. And buffers can be overflowed.
As I dance through the streets playing my pipe, augmented with inaudible-to-humans harmonic overtones added by my homemade amplifier, the robots hear, listen, overflow, obey, follow. The trail of robots stretches out of sight, now.
I don’t yet know for sure what I’m going to do with my army of two thousand score Roombas, but it can’t be good.
It's February, pachyderms & the universe is being antiBlack during Black History Month. I got the kid pants! The cat broke a toy, & my rollator is falling apart. I need bread, milk and transit funds!

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.
Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".
Edit 2024: They went IPO.
