Twankers
The Twits at Twitter overstated the number of users for many years. They claim their users number around 330 million. No word on how many of those are fake accounts and bots. Although I’ve run into few accounts there that weren’t too bad, most seem to be filled with self-serving, lying twaddle. Maybe that’s why A third of America wouldn’t care if Twitter disappeared.

A KeyGen? Really?
I didn’t even know these things were still floating around! Anywho…
Some dude at the NSA disabled his AV (Kaspersky), tried to use a fake key generator, got pawned, NSA stuff exposed.

Whining About Gmail
Some folks are ticked that Google only kinda stopped scanning email and might go full throttle again.
I get the privacy thing. I really do. But Gmail is a FREE product from an ADVERTISING company. Get over it.
There are lots of free, privacy minded email companies. I use and like ProtonMail.

Dismissing Smart Guys
They dissed Stephen Hawking when he warned that meeting aliens may not be the ET moment we are looking for. Now they are jumping on Elon Musk’s “doomy, gloomy prognosticating“. Basically he warns that Artificial Intelligence isn’t the neatest thing since sliced bread and in fact may be very, very dangerous. Mr. Musk may not be at Dr. Hawking’s level but he sure is hell is way above a reporter’s level. I’m with you Elon.

Firefox Finished?
El Reg – Firefox doesn’t need to be No 1 – and that’s OK, ‘cos it’s falling off a cliff
“Just in case you didn’t believe Firefox was on a trajectory that should have it crash and burn into extinction in the next couple of years, former chief technology officer Andreas Gal has usage stats that confirm it. To use Gal’s words: “Firefox market share is falling off a cliff.” The same could be said of Firefox itself.
What’s most interesting about this data and Gal’s interpretation of it is that at the same time that Firefox is sliding into irrelevancy it’s becoming a better browser.”
Still rockin’ it here.
