"'I was misidentified as shoplifter by #FacialRecognition tech...'
"...[Sara] says after her bag was searched she was... banned from all stores using the #Technology.
"I was just crying and crying the entire journey home… 'Oh, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen'.

Guglielmo Marconi applies for a patent for his wireless telegraph.
On 13 May 1897, Marconi sent the first ever wireless communication over open sea – a message was transmitted over the Bristol Channel from Flat Holm Island to Lavernock Point near Cardiff, a distance of 6 kilometres. The message read "Are you ready".
His patent is available here (later claimed by Oliver Lodge to contain his own ideas which he failed to patent):

Microsoft has postponed Windows Recall, the company’s flagship AI feature that tracks everything you do on your computer and makes the content easily searchable. Maybe too easily. Critics slammed Recall as creepy and a privacy nightmare. The postponement also gave Apple execs an opening for a jab at their competitor. Read more from Windows Central. https://flip.it/DPyYQU

Soule.The typewriter was initially referred to as the "Sholes and Glidden Type-Writer." The machine featured a keyboard with letters arranged in an early version of the QWERTY layout, which was developed to reduce jamming by separating commonly used letter pairs.

It's been awhile so I figured I'd do an updated #Introduction post:
Hi, I'm BeAware, sometimes I abbreviate it, BA. I am VERY passionate about decentralized systems like #ActivityPub and #Nostr and tend to discuss these topics at length. Especially the nuances of each and try to keep up with all the things regarding them.
I have #ADHD and #Hydrocephalus, which effects various aspects of my day to day life and how I think. I am also on disability because of it.
I am also very #AI-positive because it helps me with every day life. With my brain disorders, I don't think the same way others do, so AI helps me with describing things accurately and to make sure I get my point across in the way I mean to. I also tend to post #AIart from time to time to realize my creativity.
I'm a #Gamer that primarily plays PC games or games that are Cross Platform. Generally I enjoy #MMORPG, #SurvivalGames and such where I can just "zone out" and vibe without much stress.
Sometimes you'll see me discuss #Technology news as well.
If these seem to be within your interests, feel free to follow and if you have similar interests laid out in your bio, chances are good that ill follow back.
I've been here for a year and this is, by far, my favorite social media platform I've ever been on.
Thank for reading and may you be as federated as you wish!
Sincerely,
B.A.

Thomas Edison receives a patent for his mimeograph.
Mimeographs, along with spirit duplicators and hectographs, were common technologies for printing small quantities of a document, as in office work, classroom materials, and church bulletins. For even smaller quantities, up to about five, a typist would use carbon paper.
Longtime Google rivals like Yelp and DuckDuckGo received a huge victory Monday when a U.S. federal judge ruled that Google is an illegal monopoly. The judge has yet to decide how to restore competition, and Google’s competitors are pushing for changes they believe will help their businesses. Which might be harder than it sounds.
