Twenty-nine years ago on this day, #httpget 0.1 was released.

I found the tool a few days later and within a few months I became the maintainer. We later renamed it. Twice. The last name it got is #curl. It stuck.

httpget was my first insight and lesson into HTTP and since then I have kept […]

Facial recognition firm Clearview AI hit with criminal complaint | Euractiv
Max Schrems attacca Clearview. In punta di diritto potrebbe avere ragione. (oltre a fare la cosa giusta) > European privacy rights group noyb filed a criminal complaint against the controversial US facial recognition company Clearview AI and its leadership on Tuesday. > > … > > But despite multiple GDPR fines being issued on Clearview – in total the company has received €95.7 million in administrative fines from data protection authorities in Greece, France, Italy, and the Netherlands since February 2022 – EU authorities have struggled to collect the money. The US-based firm has been largely able to dodge GDPR enforcement in the EU, as it has no formal representation on the continent. > > Noyb’s complaint accuses Clearview of simply ignoring EU law. By filing a criminal complaint, the privacy rights group said it hopes that – should Clearview be found guilty – its management would have to risk jail time or being held personally liable if they travel to the EU. > > … > > It points out that the GDPR gives scope to enforcement authorities to foresee criminal sanctions for certain data breaches if such a criminal provision has been implemented in national law – as is the case in Austria.

While they’re at it, they’re also doing everything to ensure that nobody else gets homes (by not building any) and they’ll complain ceaselessly about poop on the streets but refuse to build toilets. Just in case homeless people use drugs in public bathrooms.

Today I learned that there are anti drug vigilantes who are going around San Francisco spraying random homeless people with Narcan. Even if they’re not OD-ing. They’re just asleep. This is so unfashionably cruel.

Their fantasy: A magic, 100% perfect algorithm that only finds CSAM.

The reality: To find anything, you must scan everything.

How much does your writing occupy your thoughts away from the keyboard?

A lot - I spend my time between writing working around the next part of whatever I am writing.

So it is a permanant resident in my head.
