Police have used Google's Sensorvault database, which was built to collect information for better ad-targeting, to aid in criminal investigations, The New York Times reports; geo-fence warrants enable law enforcement to obtain location data from the database; sources say federal agents first used Sensorvault in 2016 and the practice has since spread to numerous local departments

The good about 5G is that sooner or later ISPs will start to lower 4G prices

I just spent an hour reading the changelog for Mastodon v2.7.0 and the Highlights blog post: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/01/mastodon-2.7/

It's pretty amazing the amount of work that goes into a Mastodon release. Contributors, you rock!

I was just thinking: the only way to make a messaging system truly private is for the messages to disappear/be deleted as soon as you read them

“In other words, the most the CEO of Twitter was able to tell me about specific steps being taken to solve the rampant, site-wide harassment problem that’s plagued the platform for years is that they’re looking into maybe making the report button a little bigger, eventually..

It seems clear that Twitter’s current iteration, a machine learning-curated hell, isn’t the website Jack Dorsey wants. He just refuses to say what that website actually is.”
