Age verification risks tying users’ “most sensitive and immutable data” — names, faces, birthdays, home addresses — to their online activity, EFF’s @mollibroccoli.bsky.social told @CNBC.com. “Age verification strikes at the foundation of the free and open internet.” www.cnbc.com/2026/03/08/...

I read this very interesting article from 404 media @404media.co titled "How to Talk to Someone Experiencing 'AI Psychosis'" and I feel very sad with how people are using chatbots. I have seen more and more people engulfed in delusions and paranoia these past few years.

I am seriously worried with people who are increasingly attached to AI chatbots. A lot of people are using these chatbots to seek emotional support and it is very dangerous to establish connection with chatbots while being psychologically affected by them.

I have finally uninstalled Bluesky app on my android smartphone because I keep having technical issues with it. I am now accessing Bluesky through bsky website on my smartphone web browser. It seems much smoother.

If you are looking for web browser without AI feature at all, I can recommend you these two browsers:

Vivaldi @vivaldi.com
Zen Browser @zen-browser.app

There are more if you look deeper, however these two browsers are more user-friendly.

I say no to AI features!

It’s 2026, and some people still believe women don’t belong in tech. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than proving them wrong. 😌

So tell us, if you're in tech, what do you do?

There's a Stunning Financial Problem With AI Data Centers Given the rate at which tech companies are spending on data centers, current revenues would have to increase ten-fold just to break even.

"Simply put, at the current trajectory, we’re going to hit a wall, and soon,” he fretted. “There just isn’t enough revenue and there never can be enough revenue. The world just doesn’t have the ability to pay for this much AI.”

Exploiting AI summarize feature on a browser is as easy as a webpage hiding unreadable content (at least by human eyes), such as white fonts on a white background.

I've done some foundations for characters behaviours and I couldn't stop myself from taking a break to play a *finally* alive game 😍⛪

For now it's just some basic idle behaviours - but more are coming!

Added some icons for when you can open doors and speak to NPCs AND I've been working on the actual cutscenes!! How DRAMATIC!
