Lost for words.

🔗 General Identity Protocol - Age Assurance Technology Trial

GIP is a networked identity framework that reuses trusted institutional credentials for secure, friction-free verification. It’s flexible, scalable, privacy-aware and aligns with AATT’s privacy, usability and integration principles.

It really is a clever solution to a real world problem that everyone likes - but remains an up hill adoption battle. #justsaying

🔗 Niklas Roy Constructs a Functional Pendulum Clock Made Entirely of Trash.

The artist only used items and materials he could scrounge up locally, including tape, zip ties, hot glue, cardboard, a yardstick, pieces of plastic, and other random objects. “It runs for about half an hour, features a paperclip-escapement, a glass bottle gong, and a ‘random complication’ (which answers the fundamental question, ‘Now or Never?’)

🔗 Everybody talks about the ‘Paypal mafia’. Nobody seems to refer to the Facebook mafia … .. and that makes it harder and worse

It’s especially important to identify these patterns because the alumni of these companies bring these toxic behaviors with them when they go on to their subsequent roles. It’s no coincidence, for example, that so many former Facebook product managers work at OpenAI and that ChatGPT has run the same playbook in terms of abusing people’s privacy and trust.

🔗 Mark Zuckerberg - Colossus

… via Gruber and saved for later … its long - but on a speed scan - I clearly need to read it.

Oh and don’t confuse Colossus with Colossal - another ‘hidden’ - and totally unrelated gem of a site.

I don’t trust xAI (or Meta) with my data, but it doesn’t seem like Siri AI can do all that much.

I am surprised it is as locked down as it is. The only reason i keep perplexity around now is to run on my old iPad mini - I quickly adopted Siri on that one - and it does do a remarkable job of unpacking what is on my drive - but most of my use cases is that having done that - I now want to do more and so far Siri just tells me it ..

Can’t do that

So chat and claude are still there - neither of which have full reign over most of my hard drive.

🔗 Young people are not just the future. We are already living with the decisions made before we had a say. …

I want a say in what happens next. Not because I am young. Because I am here, and I will be living with it.

.. not wrong.

Good read though he might best have used his AI to reduce the length.

🔗 Substack Changed. Most Creators Haven’t Noticed Yet.

In January 2026, Substack launched Substack TV, an app for Apple TV and Google TV, so people can watch creator videos and livestreams on their actual television.

New news - at least to this bear.

🔗 The opposite of mass

The opposite of mass is special.

Good reminder. App development at PHI⑊PIN keeps getting distracted with ‘mass’ - but ‘special’ is what we are trying to do.

Certainly hope not - but then most people I talk to don’t even recognise the term.
