"Quantum physics and social media might seem like two worlds apart, but both challenge the way we perceive reality. Just as quantum particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously, our online personas allow us to present different versions of ourselves to different audiences. The question is, which one is the 'real' #quantumthoughts #socialmediaphilosophy #identityintransition ##github mastadon #microsoft #siliconvalley #foia #journalism #nyc #boston #nft #digitalart #google #llm #nyc


[Important Update] Google patches two Android Zero-Days used in targeted Attacks. :android:

Google fixed two actively exploited Android zero-day flaws as part of its November security updates, addressing a total of 51 vulnerabilities. Tracked as CVE-2024-43047 & CVE-2024-43093, the two issues are marked as exploited in limited, targeted attacks.

#google #android #update #zerodays #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
The security issues fixed this month impact Android versions between 12 and 15.

• The CVE-2024-43047 flaw is a high-severity use-after-free issue in closed-source Qualcomm components within the Android kernel that elevates privileges. The flaw was first disclosed in early October 2024 by Qualcomm as a problem in its Digital Signal Processor (DSP) service.

• CVE-2024-43093 is also a high-severity elevation of privilege flaw, this time impacting the Android Framework component and Google Play system updates, specifically in the Documents UI. Google did not disclose who discovered the CVE-2024-43093 vulnerability.

To apply the latest update, head to Settings > System > Software updates > System update. Alternatively, go to Settings > Security & privacy > System & updates > Security update. A restart will be required to apply the update.


It has been made clear that Google wants to kill independent publishers. If there are sites you love and they have a Patreon or the like you'd better support them before they disappear forever.

Court Orders #Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/10/court-orders-google-monopolist-knock-it-monopoly-stuff #Android #GooglePlay


""Some of the starkest examples looked at how Google treats certain health questions. Google often pulls information from the web and shows it at the top of results to provide a quick answer, which it calls a Featured Snippet. Presch searched for "link between coffee and hypertension". The Featured Snippet quoted an article from the Mayo Clinic, highlighting the words "Caffeine may cause a short, but dramatic increase in your blood pressure." But when she looked up "no link between coffee and hypertension", the Featured Snippet cited a contradictory line from the very same Mayo Clinic article: "Caffeine doesn't have a long-term effect on blood pressure and is not linked with a higher risk of high blood pressure".

The same thing happened when Presch searched for "is ADHD caused by sugar" and "ADHD not caused by sugar". Google pulled up Featured Snippets that argue support both sides of the question, again taken from the same article. (In reality, there's little evidence that sugar affects ADHD symptoms, and it certainly doesn't cause the disorder.)""

Recherchen des +972 Magazins zeigen, wie Amazon, Google und Microsoft dem israelischen Militär Dienstleistungen und Kapazitäten zur Verfügung stellen, um ein Massenüberwachungsprogramm und Angriffe in Gaza durchzusetzen.

'According to multiple sources, the exponential capacity of the AWS public cloud system allows the army to have “endless storage” for holding intelligence on almost “everyone” in Gaza. One source who used the cloud-based system during the current war described making “orders from Amazon” for information while carrying out their operational tasks, and working with two screens — one connected to the army’s private systems, and the other connected to AWS.

Military sources emphasized to +972 and Local Call that the scope of intelligence collected from the surveillance of all Palestinian residents of Gaza is so large that it cannot be stored on military servers alone. In particular, according to intelligence sources, much more extensive storage capabilities and processing power were needed to keep billions of audio files (as opposed to just textual information or metadata), which compelled the army to turn to the cloud services offered by tech companies.'

#Google has disabled call recording on its phones so thank gawd for OBS, Open Broadcaster Software, which records just about anything. So I'll be doing interviews from windows, not android.

Update: Again there was a TGIF-Meeting and again critical questions about #Nimbus was asked by the staff.

And again: the management just replied with the same non-answer: ". So when it comes to the Nimbus contract, in particular, this is a contract that is designed and directed at our public cloud work, not at specific military classified sensitive information. And everything that's on our Cloud network, our public Cloud, is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy and our ToS"

"Ethics" is not the only problem with generative A.I. -- *epistemology* is broken too.

My latest for Public Books: in the face of #google telling us to eat rocks, we bought an encyclopedia.

Here's a brilliant article about the opaque and broken world of programmatic advertising.

These platforms truly are a cesspit.

They are causing billions of ad dollars from reputable brands to be pumped into disinformation sites.

Meanwhile, ads are systematically blocked from appearing on reputable news sites that have articles that include words like "Palestine", "black", or "gay".

And the biggest player in this industry? Google!

Just another way Google is enshittifying the internet for profit.

🇮🇱 #Google asegura que sus negocios con #Israel se limitan a servicios para civiles y que no tienen nada que ver con la guerra, pero se ha filtrado un contrato que firmaron hace solo tres semanas... y es la prueba de que hay sistemas de IA que usa el ejército israelí para matar en Gaza que están en #GoogleCloud. https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-ministry-gaza-war/


Update. #Google supports the #RightToRepair bill in #Oregon, even as applied to #Pixel phones.
https://9to5google.com/2024/01/11/pixel-right-to-repair/

But it adds this proviso: "Legislation should acknowledge the risks borne by unskilled repairers and allow original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to provide parts assemblies rather than individual components to reduce the risk of injury."
