You're all dreams and we're glad, as you are nice dreams. We're an asexual autistic trans-femme plural system. Ad privacy, Tech Inquiry, ex-Google, they/them.

Anyway, we wouldn't want anybody to inadvertently use it thinking it's going to be a welcoming social space, and get hurt because it isn't. We see that happen every so often. So we felt like we should offer a warning.

There's a rhetorical strategy where when somebody makes insightful criticism that cuts to the heart of a problem, assholes will sometimes just reply with the exact words that were used to criticize them, but saying "it's not". It's more effective than it should be.

The text seems to have been updated since those screenshots circulated. Many people were correctly describing the alleged technology as "phrenology". The FAQ now helpfully says that it's "not pseudo-science like phrenology". Oh! Well, problem solved!

That app, the unnecessarily gendered social network? "Giggle"? We weren't going to weigh in, but realized that what's obvious to us isn't to everyone. So, we'll point out that its FAQ has many common right-wing talking points, including counterfactual "bone structure" nonsense.

Dave has understated how disturbing this paper is.
It explicitly involves religious activity and protest classification from aerial imagery.

And 56.9% are using volume encryption, which is very helpful if your threat model is a Craigslist buyer reading a $4 stolen harddrive that some rogue Amazon or Google employee pilfered from a datacenter hardened like Fort Knox. twitter.com/dejan_kosutic/…

"Bloomberg is the anti-Trump: an actual billionaire with management skills" fuck that. if you want somebody good at managing time and resources, elect an adjunct lecturer or a nurse.

From the perspective of a multinational corporation, fascism is good for business and basically risk free. It's really very depressing.

Ah, yes. It was largely the history of Siemens in WW2 which got us thinking about how important it was to not let Google be complicit in fascism in the same way. It's still so disturbing to us to contemplate that their reputation recovered from that.

💯 this. When people ask me what companies are doing a good job on climate leadership, my response is... “well, *no* company is responding to the climate crisis at the level it demands.”
In other words, the Overton window needs to move a fuck ton. twitter.com/alexsteffen/st…

That isn't really the question we were trying to address but it's an important question. We'd say that there's an individual balance. It's your life, you do have to do something with it that actually makes you happy.
