I would, but Miez is one of a kind.

Reddit To Promote Voter Participation, Combat Election Misinformation
vote.org is a safe, non-partisan web site to check your voting status.
vote.gov is the official US website for voters.
Stay the fuck away from "votesafe dot org." (Musk set it up as a decoy, and that web site will spy on you).

Here's hoping she recuperates well, and rests up. Vet visits are stressful at the best of times and abal anal impaction is no joke.

I love telling them I don't have a uterus.
"Are you sure you can't be pregnant?"
"Absolutely sure."
"We do need to know if you're pregnant or nursing."
"Well, I'm not."
"Would you be willing to take a pregnancy test?"
"I don't have a uterus. I'm not pregnant. Can we move on?"

Using an AI Agent Makes You a Sucker for Phishing Emails: "The real flaw is that the model can’t tell the difference between text it’s supposed to read and instructions it’s supposed to follow."

Unless you go in and specifically turn them off they are on by default in some email systems like Google's (and I think Microsoft's).

A Rubberized Cybertruck Is Plowing Through European Pedestrian Safety Rules
So, the EU banned these trucks because they present a danger to pedestrians, and someone modded one with rubberized bumpers to get it registered. That's it. That's the story.

Unpopular Opinion: Xitter going bad is the best thing that ever happened to the Web
Twitter is still influencing the rest of the web (look at its influence on reddit since Musk bought Twitter, and Spez started wanting to live in his skin). I don't think we can just take the good without the bad and assume a net positive.

Microsoft's GitHub bans security researcher who posted zero-day Windows exploits because company 'ruined their life' — expert claims action is vindictive and promises further retaliation
If the guy exposing the exploits is the be believed, they notified MS (or attempted to) and were ignored and then actively rebuffed. Then MS deleted the account (and the proof that this person actually reported these vulnerabilities/bugs).
Even if this person is lying I'm more likely to believe MS is the bad guy here. It seems like bullying to me. That and an attempt to mask the problems at the company because they have been getting a lot of bad press and are having trouble with the entirety of windows 11 which they forced on people and they keep breaking. The adoption rate of windows 11 being so bad also lends credence to what this person is claiming.

A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It
Just like always, when the media catches wind of something and starts asking questions, magically big corps like Google go back and have an actual human review and re-instate the account.

After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad
This is misinformation. They added the login requirement for their Generative AI and the actual notepad doesn't require a login. But I guess we're ragebaiting today.

It's better than hitting the brakes all the time.
Two car lengths on the highway is not enough car lengths to make a meaningful difference in the event of a crash or giving you time to react to an emergency situation up ahead.
That being said, I respect that you leave any car lengths at all and it's probably better than nothing. Especially since other drivers see any more than that as a challenge to enter that gap. Which is dangerous as shit and they are wrong but won't learn even after they wreck doing it.

Attorney General Bonta Urgently Issues Consumer Alert for 23andMe Customers
Several years back now, one of my colleagues was very much into the genealogy thing. She had major problems I think with needing to find herself or where she fit in or whatever. She was very much pushing me to try one of the DNA genealogy testing services and I had to be very firm about not wanting to participate in it.
This is why. My sense of self has never been in question and I don't need to attribute who or what I am to some people I've never met or culture I haven't participated in or been a part of. I have been considered "other" my whole life by in groups who only wanted me to identify with the bits and pieces of my culture or personality that they approved of and I pretty much had to get over that at a young age in order to not feel inadequate or content with myself.
As a result these always seemed like services that over promise and under deliver and they ask for way more privileged information than I am comfortable with giving away to anyone (I was skeptical when my doctor wanted me to participate in cancer screening via DNA testing because the only angle I could see for wanting it that would be profitable to an insurance firm was to deny me coverage later). Every time something hits the media about a leak or mismanagement of customer data, I am vindicated in my belief that it's not worth the price of admission.

Someone check if Sticker Mule made this
Seems like a credible threat that could be reported to certain 3 -letter agencies to me. But what do I know?It's not like their license plate isn't fully viewable in this picture or anything.
