In case anyne had any doubt about Blair and his 'institute' (subsidised by us all with generous contributions from commercial partners).

'In a report published on Wednesday, TBI said it backed government proposals to let AI firms train their models on copyright-protected material without permission, unless creatives have signalled they want to opt out of the process.'

Guess he and the kids are not creating anything at all.

This video is one of the reasons Congress wants to ban TikTok. They don't want this factual information seen by the public.

In past years people would have to watch CNBC or some other obscure TV channel to learn what Congress is doing.

Videos like this one gives the information to hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of people.

You can now search to find out which of your books, short stories, articles, etc. have been stolen by Meta/Facebook.

Most authors I know have had *their entire backlist* stolen.

Divest from Facebook/Instagram/Treads.

@zak @zenbrowser : a still unfixed vulnerability: if NOT using Touch ID, on some websites you may be able to sign in using a passkey WITHOUT authenticating locally - using biometrics or your passcode (screen unlock code).

⛓️‍💥 This vulnerability also exists WITH Touch ID set up, provided that "Password Autofill" is disabled.

BTW this vulnerability also permits access to:
• icloud.com
• account.apple.com
(When asked to provide your fingerprint, tap the X at the top right and tap in the "Email" field one more time).

This is a HUGE risk for people who do not want to use biometrics: if a thief grabs their iPhone when unlocked, or watches them enter their passcode and later steals their iPhone, the thief can use ALL of the owner's passwords and some of their passkeys stored in the "Passwords" app (formerly known as iCloud Keychain).

🎬 This increases the risks of theft as shown by WSJ's Joanna Stern in youtube.com/watch?v=QUYODQB_2wQ.

👶 In addition, a (grand) child or anyone else who (shortly) borrows your iPhone/iPad may have access to more of your cloud-accounts than you're aware of.

🔧 Workaround if you don't want to use biometrics to unlock your iPhone/iPad (this does not fix any problem if a thief learns (or successfully guesses) your passcode (screen unlock PIN or password):

• Set up a Touch ID anyway, for example for your left pinky finger (if you're righthanded)

• Disable "iPhone Unlock" in "Touch ID and Passcode" (visible in the first screenshot).

• Use a safer password manager (such as KeePassium) than the Apple "Passwords" app (iCloud KeyChain).

🚨 In any case:

• Make sure that "Password Autofill" (in settings -> "Touch ID and Passcode") is set to ENABLED;

• When you enter your passcode in a public place (such as a bar, bus or train), make very sure that nobody gets to see you enter it.

No fingerprint comfigured. However, even WITH a fingerprint configured, the vulnerability also exists if "Password Autofil"l is off.
Assuming that you already created a passkey for passkeys.io, tap in the "Email" field.
Tap "Use Passkey"
Tadaa... logged in WITHOUT local authentication.

Murphy: Six Weeks In, This White House Is On Its Way To Being The Most Corrupt In U.S. History
Senator #ChrisMurphy
Mar 6, 2025 UNITED STATES CAPITOL
WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Thursday spoke on the U.S. Senate floor to expose the unprecedented corruption of the Trump administration’s first six weeks in office. Murphy condemned Trump’s normalization of pay-to-play politics, where billionaire donors dictate policy and taxpayer money is funneled into the pockets of the president, Elon Musk, and the corporate elite.

'Last week, Kristi Noem, Trump’s homeland security secretary, visited the Haskell Free Library in both Quebec and Vermont — the cultural centre straddles the Canada-US border — and in a bizarre stunt repeatedly stepped over the taped boundary marker on the floor, shouting “USA No 1” on the American side and “the 51st state” on the Canadian.'

Yes Canada, you and we really do need to worry.

Just in case anyone thought it was 'just' those nasty commercial employers (well, some of them at least) exploiting zero hour contracts to screwq their staff.

Oxford has no shame - well it probably never has had any... Probably a scheme promoted by some PPE nobhead and will undoubtedley be supported by other PPE nobheads in government.

Grateful not to be in academia any more.

Ok y’all, we’ve talked about stock market manipulation and we’ve talked about crypto fraud and the First Crime Family, but have we talked about Howard Lutnick and how money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?

The Cryptocalypse Chronicles has a multi post series, of which part two is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether, and does business with gangs and sanctioned individuals and nations like Hamas, North Korea and Iran, and funds #pigButchering scams and illegal weapons and drug trades.

“We’re at the #Napster moment in the #AI race. (for #books) When we started streaming music in the early 2000s, most of it was stolen. That wasn’t going to work in the long run. Who could afford to be a musician if no one paid for music.” —Prof. #TobyWalsh, artificial intelligence at the University of New South Wales

Two men in #Essex #nicked and sent to #jail for #keyless #car #theft of £1,3 *million* of high value vehicles across the county (several SUVs and a modified #FordFiesta ) as well as running a #chopshop in #WalthamAbbey - the worst part of this is looking at the pictures of their lockup, they could easily have made an honest living in the motor trade (I wonder if they had been stalking car enthusiasts via #socialmedia ?)

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, smart and trustworthy, was a fine choice for the Democratic rebuttal to Trump's rant. She made some very good points, including: "Pres. Trump is trying to deliver an unprecedented giveaway to his billionaire friends. He’s on the hunt to find trillions of dollars to pass along to the wealthiest in America. And to do that, he’s going to make you pay." #politics #theft
