#Signal seems to have been down for a bit today, so this is a good moment to consider if you have backup comms channels with people you care about.
A Signal Contingency Plan, if you will:

I agree with the recommendation there and am working on making Delta Chat @delta@chaos.social that kind of backup channel for me and mine.

If you're worried about Delta Chat being e-mail based and using OpenPGP, you should probably read this:

If anyone is following what's going down in #Minnesota and has some resources they'd like to share to support folks there, here's a bunch of mutual aid links sent in by a friend of a friend, who is there on the ground:

There are so many causes to support, so many people hurting around the world who need aid. Folks in Minnesota are among them.

Microslop's CEO is on a roll!
Few weeks ago he begged us to stop using "slop" because it makes AIs sad. Days ago he complained "AI boom might falter" if we don't start using more spicy autocomplete. 
Now he's begging developers to "do something useful" with lying machines, or they might lose the "social permission" to boil the planet.

What, is Microslop's Slopilot services not useful enough on their own?

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2026/01/20/ai-boom-could-falter-without-wider-adoption-microsoft-chief-satya-nadella-warns/
Oh dear me are people not "adopting" lying autocomplete widely enough to keep the line going up? Oh noes. Nobody could have foreseen this! π€―
I cannot wait for the official announcement of a new #Microslop programme, Adopt-an-AI. π€£
What an absolute tool. "The bubble might burst if you all don't help pump it!" π€‘

Remember, we are causing the AI boom to falter because we keep using the term "slop":

This is not very nice of us and is costing Microslop, and its slopholders and inveslops, real money.

New blogpost: AI will compromise your cybersecurity posture
https://rys.io/en/181.html
The way βAIβ is going to compromise your cybersecurity is not through some magical autonomous exploitation by a singularity from the outside, but by being the poorly engineered, shoddily integrated, exploitable weak point you would not have otherwise had on the inside.
LLM-based systems are insanely complex. And complexity has real cost and introduces very real risk.

#AI #InfoSec
It is absolutely wild to me that media organizations still do not put RSS/Atom 
feed info front-and-center on their websites.
One needs to dive into HTML code or use external tools to discover their feeds.
It is wild because this is one of the easiest, least-effort ways to reach their audience. Encouraging RSS/Atom use is a phenomenal way of becoming less reliant on gatekeepers like huge social media platforms.
Come on! 
Microsoft renamed the whole Office suite to Copilot. π€£
Please bear in mind that calling "AI" output "slop" makes Satya Nadella sad. Under no circumstances should you call their office suite "Microslop Slopilot". That would just be mean and you're better than that.
*) Copilot might not be your favorite app.

Randomly thinking of that glorious moment in time over four years ago when @jz@mamot.fr made a poll with three options: R, G, B, and fedi collectively created a color: FΓ©di-vert.
