  1. "Apple is trying to get consumers to accept, and even welcome, a new reality: Your tech is always listening.

    At Wednesday’s Surprise and Shine event, where the company introduced its new hardware lineup, the real surprise turned out not to be the foldable iPhone, but how the privacy-sensitive tech giant has decided its watches will now be able to process live audio and transcribe what was said.

    Does this mean you’re always being recorded if the person you’re interacting with is wearing an Apple Watch? Not exactly — though it may make some people uncomfortable regardless.

    It also raises the question of whether consumers actually want this technology, or if Apple forged ahead in this area because it was afraid that another company, such as OpenAI, would soon introduce a competitive AI device of its own."

  6. @tagesschau The 9/11 narrative left 22 empirical points unanswered. Yet, that very vacuum birthed a new paradigm: the rise of Palantir and corporate surveillance capitalism. Security became an industry, and control became permanent. A structural conflict of interest shaping our digital future. #911 #Surveillance #Palantir

  26. RE: beige.party/@GrimmReality/1172

    A hymn to #technofascism

    This article praises #Obama for helping #SiliconValley become the oligarchic behemoth it is and scolds … #Biden for not doing more of the same.

    No word, absolutely none, about the people, the cost of living, #democracy, privacy, #surveillance, the #environment, #ClimateCrisis, etc, nothing. Living in a bubble, seeing only the bubble walls, ignoring the whole world out there.

    Exactly why #Democrats lost the people, and will keep on losing elections.

  31. As far as #surveillance options are concerned, there aren't any microphones plugged into my computers. I have webcams but they're also not plugged in unless I need them. I have a mobile phone running LineageOS and with no proprietary apps installed. The only Apple thing that I've ever owned was a small ipod, and I wouldn't buy anything from Apple even if I had the money to.

  34. How to add a custom search engine to your browser:

    In the Search Engines section of your browser's settings, find the area to 'Add custom search', and paste in the search engine's URL with:

    /search?q=%s

    on the end. So for Uruky it's uruky.com/search?q=%s or for Mojeek it's mojeek.com/search?q=%s

    Find that and a list of alternative search engines at rebeltechalliance.org/search.h
