Last week, after a #Microsoft #Teams meeting with my accountant, I received an email with an automated #AI summary, courtesy of something called read [.] ai.
I wasn't even informed before hand, let alone asked for my consent.
Now my voice pattern and confidential data is being correlated & shared with who knows how many AI data brokers.
And as a final kick in the nuts they're spamming me to sign up.

did this recently with my wife. Nearly a decade ago when I was at Sourcefire, I had a very brief stint in professional services. We had a very brief all-hands meeting in Providence, RI. One of the things we did was go to a local tavern that has some history, and all of us got mugs from the tavern.
This mug survived nearly 15 years before being dropped and getting chipped. I had since learned that the tarvern no longer sells the mugs. Looked it up on e-bay and it was available from some random dude's e-bay collection.

I’m taking a class that requires reading music notation,. I’m looking for accessible software to help. I know some Braille music and have a Braille display. I’m also comfortable using screen readers. I use Windows11 and Linux, so I’m open to options on either.
My teacher currently uses paper worksheets and hasn’t used notation software before. I’d appreciate suggestions that would make it easy for him to provide materials in an accessible format he could send. What software would you recommend?

So, let me get this straight.
For the Green Transition to be a success we must genocide the last of the Indigenous people, while ecocidng their lands.
The only people on this earth actually living sustainably must be sacrificed so that European techies can continue to have two big screens humming, fed by all that clean and green renewable energy.
Did I get it right?

Seconding @mattround. If you didn't buy a copy of DOCTYPE yet, you're missing out. Here's the mini-review I wrote a year ago, if you still need convincing: https://danq.me/2025/11/25/doctype/
Now what I'd REALLY like is a world in which there exists a second issue/sequel...
609) Bardbots. If you were put off Shakespeare by being made to read his plays like they're novels, let Bardbots perform them for you instead, as they're intended, with the same commentary and context provided by published editions. #SmallRobotsRemastered
