If you want to get a flavour of some conversations check out the timeline of a #Followbot eg. http://sn.jonkman.ca/firehose/all If anyone catches your interest, you can follow them from your own instance. /cc: @sim@social.heldscal.la @melissasage@mastodon.social @clacke@social.heldscal.la -

And there's the terrifying story of Barnaby Jack, who was to give a Defcon talk revealing how to send a pacemaker a signal to deliver a high-voltage shock from a distance. He was found dead days before his scheduled appearance. https://www.rt.com/usa/hacker-pacemaker-barnaby-jack-639/ -

The best-known case of non-free medical hardware is probably that of Karen Sandler ( @o0karen0o on #Twitter ), who wondered about the lack of access to source code for her pacemaker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFZGpES-St8 @einebiene -

Sadly, tying medical equipment to non-free software is all too common. You're right, it's a huge privacy violation, and the End-User-Licence-Agreement allowing them to insert ads in your readouts just makes it worse. Do they make you sign up for an Outlook or Facebook account to keep up-to-date? I hope not. We need more !OpenHardware that runs !FreeSoftware. -

Ah, isn't his wonderful! This software will also have ADVERTISEMENTS, and I'm only halfway through reading the licence agreement. I wonder what will be next. -

I'm pretty pissed off. I just read up on the software that goes with my blood glucose monitor, and it turns out the company (and their partners) will have access to all my data. That's pretty damn intimate. When I eat and how much, when I sleep, how often I inject or check my blood sugar levels. And there's no way around that. And I get the feeling I also have to switch back to windows. :-( -

I have @firehose on my instance. It doesn't seem to take up excessive resources, but my instance is a small one, and @firehose doesn't exhaustively follow everyone. I intended it to get replies in conversations for those people I don't want to follow myself (eg. those who primarily speak a language I don't, but sometimes have interesting conversations in English). But it doesn't w… -

♻ @cphuntington97: a "follow bot" was my first solution to this problem. Does it work reasonably well? does it use up a lot of resources unnecessarily? -
