Yes! For implants and biotech, FOSS and Open Hardware are extremely important!
For proprietary technology at the modern level, there are already so many invasions of privacy and autonomy that it’s not even funny. Even if you think you know how deep it goes, there’s always more. “If you could see what your technology was doing, people, you’d shoot yourselves.”
- John Deere tractors are backdoored so they can be remotely disabled [1]
- All modern Intel processors have another processor inside them, that can access the computer without the operating system even knowing [2]
- Google is bad all around, there are like hundreds of violations [3]
This invasive level of control, in a technological implant, would be able to lock people out of their own body! With brain implants, the threat could be thought exfiltration, mind control, or remote operation of the person!
FOSS in biotech is what we need to stop people from being turned into Borg drones. I say this without hyperbole.
Whenever I see AI being dumb, I think of this.
Colin the Computer basically represents “Stupid AI” even though this was made long before LLMs hit the mainstream!
Clever! I'm very clevery guy! Count to a fifty in the blink of my eye!– like a primitive AI proclaiming itself to be smart, but it doesn’t even know how many errors it’s making. The numbers in that scene are scrambled too, because early LLMs are bad at math.

Yes, librewolf is running. I intentionally have it open. But there is no audio playing.
When I kill the process, it does not unblock, even though there is no librewolf process left.
When I reboot the computer and restart librewolf, it does not block.
When I play a video in the browser, it blocks again.
When I close that tab, it is still blocked.
When I close the browser, it is still blocked, even though there is no librewolf process left.
(This is the Flatpak version, if that helps)
There are no ads in Librewolf, Ublock Origin is installed by default.
When I tested this, I only loaded one page that could play videos, so nothing is playing in the background.
The same thing happens on Firefox.

Why are Ubuntu and Kubuntu so far away?

3·12 days agoStratification between the corporate and the free world.
On one side, you have bots, bots, and more bots. Enshittification running rampant. AOL-style locked-down platforms, but worse, because they steal your data and your soul to fuel their profits.
On the other side of the fence is the side of freedom. The fediverse will have more users. Also, old-style personal websites/blogs could make a comeback.
