  1. how TF does Facebook know I have a migraine??

    Apps on my phone, but isolated to its own profile in graphene.

    I haven't posted about migraines. Haven't searched for anything regarding migraines on that profile.. I don't think I even talked about migraines around my phone. But two days ago I started an attack, and today Facebook is showing me ads about some crazy migraine relief product.

  3. foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/10/c. How NOT to launch a clandestine mission! Kim Philby didn't need to betray ANY of it, it was so badly organised! "Far from the buttoned-up, bureaucratized #spying of the later #ColdWar period, the early post-war #MI6 & #CIA were an almost shambolic bunch. With little oversight, especially on the #US side, these #agencies could concoct whatever schemes & plans they fancied... they were less James Bond, more Monty Python..."

  10. CW: ai coding tools, preventing vendor lock-in

    RE: mastodon.social/@reiver/116840

    Part of the lock-in happens with the harness.

    Ex: Claude Code is a harness to use the Claude model. Use open source harnesses. Create your own harness if you can.

    Part of it is giving a SaaS access to your data.

    Do you have AI slack bot that is reading everyone's messages. What about your files & e-mail

    If you are someone who uses AI coding tools for your work —

    I have been hearing people claim that the GLM-5.2 open source, open weight model is very good are common programming tasks.

    huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-5.2

    z.ai/blog/glm-5.2

    You have options.

    They'll be more in the future, too.

    I think people should try to find open source (OS) and open weight (OW) models as alternatives to these SaaS AI coding tools.

    Start by using them together (with the SaaS).

    Set thins up so you aren't locked into these SaaS.

    Have, in a practical sense, the ability to completely switch over if need be.

    Long term, I think it will end up being bad if people get locked in to these SaaS AI coding tools.

    Part of it is about privacy versus spying and surveillance.

    But, it is also about preventing someone else from having that kind of control over you, your source of income, your business, etc.

    For better or worse, many people are using AI coding tools to help them write software.

    (And, I don't mean "vibe coding". How I have seen software engineers use AI coding tools and non-technical people use them tends to be different.)

  35. Your voice is a unique identifier that can be faked.

    Have you ever talked into a phone? Spoken while on a video call? Spoken in public while there were unknown (to you) listening devices? Spoken at home near a "smart" TV? Etc?

    You can be tracked by your voice.

    You can be identified by your voice.

    This same voice recognition technique also makes it so your voice can be synthesized — making you say anything with a "deepfake".
