"Some Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses were recording people’s conversations without the wearer knowing. The recordings occurred without users saying the prompt phrase (“Hey, Meta”), in a bug that Meta says has been fixed. This week, some users reported online that their Ray-Ban Metas were recording without their consent. A person going by Kindly-Audience-137 on Reddit, for example, said this happened to them across three Meta Ray-Bans and that they had the “Respond without Hey Meta” setting turned off. The person said the Meta AI app “saves audio recordings and text transcripts of these conversations in my conversation history.” A bug? 🤔 View quoted note →

Musk was likely the person behind the recent Starlink/Starshield throttling which rendered Ukrainian drone interceptions ineffective. If so, that makes him a collaborator and a murderer of Ukrainian civilians. Never ever think that you have anything in common with a billionaire. You are mere dust to them. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2026/10/16/musk-approached-trump-slow-down-starlink-help-ukraine/

Demographics is destiny. Your debts will not go away just because your country's TFR is dropping towards zero. Who will pay for your old age pension when there's no workers to pay taxes to fund them? #econ View quoted note →

"just school protests" 🙄 View quoted note →

"but, they are just protesting for better schooling conditions!" 🙄 Or maybe it's all just staged via social media provocateurs, since youths today are glued to their smartphones so they're sadly easy to program with tailored messages with the aim to create social unrest and instability. Keep in mind that France is now the de facto guarantor of European security, since their atomic weapons shield agreement came up earlier this year, now that NATO/OTAN is in tatters as the US president became compromised. #europe #france #pol View quoted note →

"Between 2011 and 2025, Ghana has seen a 98% drop in malaria fatalities, and Dr Nana Yaw Peprah, Deputy Head of the National Malaria Eradication Programme, says elimination is “within reach”." Done with medicines, anti mosqito nets and anti-malarial vaccines.

Ghana is on the path to eliminating malaria

Malaria control tools are becoming both more numerous and more effective, and that’s showing up in Ghana’s plummeting mortality rates.
