In today's show we focus on privacy, talking mainly on the subject of social media, we ponder the questions of what is this data being used for and by whom and also speak on the VPN and how vigilance is still required.
We look into the wider implications of privacy, Google services, working from home and ways that you can protect your privacy/data.
The appeal/lure of social media comes up and we consider promoted/paid-for # (hash) tags.
Should you be held accountable for things that were acceptable in the past but not in the present? We talk about this in relation to cancel culture and the wider implications.
We briefly cover Microsoft and talk about the future of Windows, including Windows 10X being apparently discontinued.
Tim covers a very affordable USB HDMI capture device and the topic of cheap technology is briefly covered.
Microsoft must be laughing its arse off, seeing how a bunch of Serial Sloppers (no skills, no comprehension, no integrity, no creativity) and slopfarms use Microsoft LLM to flood the Web with anti-Linux FUD
There's no guarantee that writing the truth will result in an audience (or readership), but over time - in the long run - people generally gravitate towards what they know or feel to be crude truth, not just what's comforting (albeit false or self-deluding, usually groupthink dictated from above)
Democracy depends on free press and freedom of the press depends on being able to safely publish (and keep available) material that bad people don't want to be known to anybody
