Google, Microsoft, Meta All Tracking You Even When You Opt Out, According to an Independent Audit “This is the Strait of Hormuz in the data economy. If you want to make a change, this is where you cut it off. Anything short of that is theatrical political posture.”

NEW: An independent privacy audit of Microsoft, Meta, and Google web traffic in California found that the companies may be violating state regulations and racking up billions in fines.

“In many ways fines have come to replace taxes."

I’ve been watching a lot of Artemis II coverage (if you’re not you’re missing out).

My takeaway: these astronauts seem like genuinely the best fucking people.

Etsy store is back up and running. I've also added something a new! A needlepoint/cross stitch chart to make a "come back with a warrant" sign.

I have this one hanging outside my office.

Apple Will Push Out Rare ‘Backported’ Patches to Protect iOS 18 Users From DarkSword Hacking Tool As DarkSword spreads, Apple tells WIRED it will enable iOS 18-specific fixes for millions of iPhone owners who remain on that iOS version rather than force them to update to iOS 26.

Two weeks after the DarkSword iOS hacking tool was revealed, Apple is taking the rare step of pushing a security fix to older iOS 18 iPhones rather than just telling users to update to iOS 26, as it had previously done. (Which left millions of iOS 18 users vulnerable.) www.wired.com/story/apple-...
