A reminder that software makers, hardware makers, cloud services, payment processors, and the like will throw their customers under the bus whenever it suits them. Your payment card, food delivery account, AWS instance, Gmail address -- all can be taken away on a whim for any reason or no reason. These providers are NOT your friend. Make plans now. Have backups in place. Practice self-reliance. Ween yourself off these one at a time.

Here's another reminder that it's best to resist as much as possible the siren's call of relying on AI and other services from Big Tech. Gemini is blocking questions about Trump showing signs of dementia even as it answers the same question when applied to Biden. When we turn to AI we are abdicating our own judgement and research responsibilities to a broligarchy that bends to the whims of billionaires.

Now that Marc Benioff, owner of Slack and Salesforce, has confirmed he sides with authoritarianism, it's more incumbent on us than ever to move off central platforms, which can dump communications we presumed were private or cut us off for any reason or no reason at all.

Many articles I read from before 2024 contain correct but dated information. Many articles I read from after 2024 contain incorrect information, obvious LLM hallucinations.
The internet is becoming an increasingly difficult 'place' to manage.

la cosa più deleteria che ha fatto threads sul fediverso, in europa, sono state le discussioni inutili.
