Because Grok is automatically a trusted system account on the X platform, its post boosts the link's credibility, reach, SEO, and reputation, increasing the likelihood that it will be broadcast to a large number of users.

The researcher has found that many of these links funnel through shady ad networks, leading to scams such as fake CAPTCHA tests, information-stealing malware, and other malicious payloads.

'The content of everything you do on your AI-enabled phone is at risk. If you chat with someone who has an AI-powered phone, you could be equally exposed. No one is safe from this. But I have a solution. Because I want to inform you about the dangers of trusting the big tech with anything and I also I want you to protect yourself. Don’t worry, there is no sponsored BS here. Only true genuine advice to the best of my ability. I can only do this if you support me directly.'

What non-FOSS software have you been unable to quit? in c/foss@beehaw.org

Solvespace is a FLOSS light weight 3D CAD alternative. Although it lacks the advanced features of Solidworks works really great for most of my 3d designs.

Another good use for VPN is to counter dynamic pricing. My wife visited a website some time ago to request the price for a ticket. When she visited the website a second time the price had increased considerably. However when visiting the price with VPN it was the original price again. It saved her a lot of money.

I liked it but until an annoying bug drove me to Podverse which is also pretty good.
