Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

🔓 Oracle finally admits to a major data breach—after being sued for hiding it.

Just days after being hit with a class-action lawsuit for allegedly covering up a major data breach, Oracle has begun privately notifying some customers of a security incident that compromised login credentials—including data from as recently as 2024.

Key highlights:
・🔓 Hacker accessed usernames, passkeys, and encrypted passwords
・💰 Extortion attempt reported
・⏱️ Lawsuit claims Oracle failed to notify victims within 60 days
・⚖️ Plaintiffs demand better security & transparency

Despite Oracle calling it an outdated system, the lawsuit points to risks that are very current. This is a critical moment for cloud providers to re-evaluate incident response protocols.

I haven't listed to this podcast yet, but the title caught my eye b/c over the years I have had clients who wanted to do fairly complicated bookkeeping using just spreadsheets - and I designed them a template for that, with a shrug. Sure, why not?

Never imagined I'd be thinking about switching to it myself. But here we are.

Luddites sabotaged machinery that was taking their jobs. I want to sabotage spyware & theft-ware.

Crazy Town 101: Even AI Chatbots Hate Us: The Rise of the New Luddites, with Brian Merchant Asher Miller Rob Dietz, Jason Bradford, originally published by Resilience.org April 2, 2025 After failing to raise a single dollar for PCI’s newest initiative — the $350 billion Transdisciplinary Institute for Phalse Prophet Studies and Education (TIPPSE) — Jason, Rob, and Asher devise the only profitable pitch for raising capital: using AI technology to cure the loneliness that technology itself causes. Author Brian Merchant joins Asher this week to discuss the rise of the neo-Luddite movement.

"Google is updating Gmail to allow enterprise users to send encrypted messages to any inbox in just a few clicks. Google says it’s developed a new encryption model that, unlike the current encryption feature on Gmail, doesn’t require senders or recipients to use custom software or exchange encryption certificates.

The feature is rolling out in beta starting today, and will initially be available for Google enterprise users to send encrypted emails to other Gmail users within the same organization. Google says this will expand to emails sent to any Gmail inbox “in the coming weeks,” and to inboxes from any third-party email provider “later this year.”

Gmail’s current encryption feature, based on the Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) protocol, can already be used to send external emails. Doing so requires the recipient to have S/MIME configured and complete multiple steps with the sender before emails can be securely exchanged, however."

"NEW YORK—A lawsuit seeking to stop the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from disclosing tens of millions of Americans’ private, sensitive information to Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) can continue, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

Judge Denise L. Cote of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York partially rejected the defendants’ motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which was filed Feb. 11 on behalf of two labor unions and individual current and former government workers across the country. This decision is a victory: The court agreed that the claims that OPM illegally disclosed highly personal records of millions of people to DOGE agents can move forward with the goal of stopping that ongoing disclosure and requiring that any shared information be returned.

Cote ruled current and former federal employees "may pursue their request for injunctive relief under the APA [Administrative Procedure Act]. ... The defendants’ Kafkaesque argument to the contrary would deprive the plaintiffs of any recourse under the law."

"The complaint plausibly alleges that actions by OPM were not representative of its ordinary day-to-day operations but were, in sharp contrast to its normal procedures, illegal, rushed, and dangerous,” the judge wrote."
