"One of the things enterprise storage and destruction company Iron Mountain does is handle the archiving of the media industry's vaults. What it has been seeing lately should be a wake-up call: roughly one-fifth of the hard disk drives dating to the 1990s it was sent are entirely unreadable."
Music industry’s 1990s hard drives, like all HDDs, are dying: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/music-industrys-1990s-hard-drives-like-all-hdds-are-dying/
9/11 conspiracy rap (I warned you)
I forgot to share my favorite 9/11 conspiracy rap track on the day of, so without further ado I present this hilarious masterpeice:

After checking about:config, "Hide weather on New Tab" sets the config value "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.showWeather" to "false", but leaves "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.feeds.weatherfeed" as the default of "true". So, my suspicion was correct, #Firefox is still sending your location off every 30 minutes to get the weather in the background by default even if you disable this new widget: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/newtab/lib/WeatherFeed.sys.mjs #infosec #privacy

Over the past year we have been subjected to multiple abusive households. Our most recent effort to find a safe home has also failed."

If you ever wonder why megacorps are so knee-deep in "AI" shit. It basically amounts to sunk cost fallacy. This "AI" craze has lead megacorps to buy the first privately owned supercomputers in history to build LLMs that will feed you bias and misinformation of your choosing. Those things ain't cheap. Neither are the lawyers required to justify stealing shit for their models to "train" (memorize poorly) from.
"AI" ready
advertising computers as being "ready" for "AI" is such a meaningless marketing scheme. Oh wow! You can query a webserver!? You can fetch output from a pre-trained model on disk? I sure hope so!
It is about as inane as saying 'it can do spreadsheets!' would be nowadays. The power costs and compute needed for LLMs is all handled ahead of time by one of several megacorps scraping the entire internet to feed into their particular supercomputer (no longer the domain of purely state-actors) to spit out a normal model file any dipshit's computer could lookup from or query remotely. There is no technical feat connected to it, pure hot air.
Sorry, not a kinky stuff
PSA: if you ever used Feeld dating app, you need to know that all your data was available for virtually anyone for *very long time*.
This includes messages, photos, one-time messages, dating profile, likes and etc. But not just that, it was possible to impersonate you and send messages to anyone
This issue was found two times by two independent parties so most likely malicious/state actors knew about this. If someone manages to scrape this data, it might pop up somewhere for sale.
Worst part is that Feeld is silent about this.
Please, be safe and prepared as this data can be used for sextortion or worse.
It would help a lot if you’ll share this with people who might’ve been using Feeld. I’m posting about this because Feeld is popular in some places among the LGBTQA+.

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
