  6. My phone when I tried to restart it last night:

    "Oh hi! We figured power options are so overrated, who really ever needs them anyway right? You know what would be a much better use of that clunky old power button? Opening your brand new A.I. assistant; GEMINI! The one you already opted out of. We took the liberty to opt you back in and created this shortcut for you, you're welcome!"

  10. Did you know that the #Netherlands owes someone a country?

    When the 'Dutch East Indies' existed, they had an army. It included the Moluccans, an #indigenous people from #Indonesia.

    They promised the displaced Moluccans their own state for their service.

    After waiting ~20 years, a Moluccan group #hijacked a train of 50 for 12 days. 2 years later another train & a school, & 1 yr after that, a county hall.

    14 people died, including - controversially - all the hijackers.

  12. @christopherkunz Well… Nope, unlikely. One is about Chrome extensions, the other about Android apps. Very different ecosystems.

    I don’t have data on when the removals occurred exactly. Judging by chrome-stats data (not sure how reliable it is), most extensions seem to have been removed in the past few days.

    #Alt4You: Screenshot of two posts. The top post is by WPalant: “There seems to be some major cleansing going on in Chrome Web Store. At least 7,500 extensions got removed over the course of the past month.” The bottom post is by PrivacyDigest: “#CandyCrush , #Tinder, #MyFitnessPal : See the Thousands of Apps #Hijacked to Spy on Your Location.” The second post links to a Wired story on the topic.

    Some of the world’s most pop apps R likely being co-opted by rogue members of the #advertising industry to harvest sensitive loc data on massive scale, with data ending up with a loc data company whose subsidiary has previously sold global location data to US law enforcement

  20. Some #search engines and #AI tools are sending readers to #hijacked #journals — which can give the hijacked journals a discoverability and credibility advantage over the original journals.

  21. @taber Nothing bums me out more than thinking I know what things I can luxuriate and #hyperfocus on in a given day, only to be #hijacked by surprise meetings and “oh do you have a few minutes?” slacks.

    So whenever possible I refer them to my #calendar, starting the next business day, or feel free to slack a channel and someone who’s bored will answer.

  22. In all this unpleasant story, I'm most interested in the answer to the question:

    Why does the International #ISSN Centre, which is run by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions #IFLA, permit the registration of the same journal title with two different ISSNs?
