  • Investigation: Israel's Unit 8200 built a system to collect millions of mobile phone calls made daily in Gaza and the West Bank using Microsoft's Azure platform

  • Normally I'd roll my eyes and move on...

    But in this instance I'm going to call service provider protection. It's not the bus companies fault if you take the bus into town to rob the bank. It shouldn't be on my ISP to check if I torrent or not. And it's not on Microsoft what people do with the Azure platform.

    They've provided a service, which people have used to do bad. That doesn't mean the service is bad.

    ... though it is the fediverse and this is Microsoft ... so shit away on it

  • US embassy wants 'every social media username of past five years' for new visas

  • And ... I'll pessimistically assume that forgetting one of those accounts is grounds for federal prosecution.

    I've had dozens of reddit accounts over time. Some just for funny names, some for anonymity. Literally do not remember all of them. I have multiple accounts on platforms. Some for looking at porn and not conflating that with charitable work I do (and negatively impacting the charity) and some just to not be associated with being a lil'freak to my family. Again, I can't remember some accounts, websites etc. over time.

    I couldn't list all my historical social media accounts if I tried. Maybe my use case is different to many people? But ... shrug looks like it's politically unsafe for me to come to the USA?

  • Do you keep your phone in your right or your left pocket?

    Jump

  • Phone right front. Wallet right back.

    Keys left front. You can't keep a phone and keys in the same pocket. Especially not with the size of modern phones.

    Consistency means I always know if I've forgotten my phone keys/wallet. There's never searching or wondering where they've gone.

  • Something I noticed recently

    The same people who quickly bemoan "everyone wants a label now" seen to be the same people who say "all kids do this like that".

  • Trump fires Black joint chiefs chair Hegseth accused of promoting diversity

  • That was my initial thought.

    But also, he was resisting the coup. You can't have Marshall law with military leaders willing to resist you.

    This could well be the point that we (globally) lose the "nobody would be insane enough to allow him to push the button" mindset

  • Musk: I’m closing entire federal department down right now

  • The party that wants to ban abortion to "save the children" has just condemned, quite literally millions of, children around the world to slow and agonising deaths from entirely treatable illnesses.
