What an absolute farce. Would be a shame if someone put all of this in a cryptographically secure, tamper-proof repository now wouldn't it?

I'm going to create an alternative crowdsourced, database of YouTube video content to help people avoid The Very Unhealthy Algorithm, and limit their search results by preference on AI. I'm calling it HumanTube. Actually wait, I also need ideas for the name. Cheers

With the various ICE apps under pressure to be removed from app stores, why in hell aren't these apps just Web Apps (PWAs)?
It's the super power of the web. You *can't* block it.
And before you say "but apps are better" stop. We're not debating tech here we're debating free speech.

Absolutely gutted. How the BBC has fallen
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

It looks to me that this is very clearly a commentary on Israel's genocide, not Jews.
