Palantir’s Value Soars With Dystopian Spy Tool that Will Centralize Data on Americans

I'm working on enabling the #DigiPres parts of our org by making some of the #COPTR Tool Grid apps available securely in a managed #Windows environment - first cab off the rank is a #Java app with bundled #JRE, which won't play well with our env 😕

does anyone have experience using #maven & #jpackage as part of a build pipeline to create OS-native installers? my short-term target is a Windows MSI, but once that's in place the same pipeline should be able to spit out native installers for macOS (which we also use) & Linux (which we don't - yet 😈)

I'm at the point where I'm about to clone the repo & start tinkering 😫 but would much rather re-use something already built than figure it out from docs & example code...

#boost4reach pls 🙏

#privacy in trouble building: #Google is using data from ALL people's devices to feed it into #Maven (a AI trained for geopolitics and targeting enemies) the #1984 #dystopia #Google is #evil now #spy on all data #wtf what can you do?

STOP THIS MADNESS! #BETTERWORLD IS POSSIBLE!

get a pixel 7 pro or 8 pro or 9 pro and install grapheneos.org/ #grapheneos while this is not 100% grantee secret service will NOT collect ur data, it MASSIVELY reduces the amount of 500 pre installed privacy problematic apps on #smartphone

Today #Google scrapped its 2018 promise NOT 🚫 to use #AI for weapons and surveillance, tossing it straight into the 🗑️

🤷🏽 “We don’t use your data for..”
🤷🏽 or “Our goal is not to..”
🤷🏽 “Why would we ever..”

Great soundbites that help risk management hero’s … but who questions the usage when policies (impacting human rights) get changed?

Can we start preparing for the IBM upgrade: “Nobody gets fired for buying Big Tech”?!

Spent the past year working with @pkarwasz on #Log4j. What started as patches turned into deep dives into #SBOM, VEX, and securing supply chains.

In 2025, we’re building a small #Maven-based tool to help #Java devs write more secure software. No big funding—just two folks in the trenches trying to get it right.

Let’s talk if your company’s digging into SBOM or #OpenSource #security. We’re happy to share insights or lend a hand!

🇮🇳 #India’s budgetary allocation for its space programme is $1.55bn - #NASA’s budget for the year is $25bn 💰. India spent $74m on the #Mars 🔴 orbiter #Mangalyaan and $75m on #Chandrayaan3. NASA’s #Maven orbiter had cost $582m 💰 and Russia’s #Luna25 $133m. #ISRO employs far fewer people and pays lower salaries, which makes Indian projects competitive 💪 bbc.com/news/articles/cn9xlgnn

www.bbc.comChandrayaan, Mangalyaan: Why it costs India so little to reach the Moon and MarsIndia has approved 227bn rupees ($2.7bn) for new space projects - but the funding is far from lavish.

I created a shell script using way too much #Maven and #Bash hackery to build a #DuckDB Database containing all the versions of #SpringBoot that ship #SpringDataNeo4j so that we quickly find out the default combinations and which are still in support. That was fun…

github.com/spring-projects/spr

Possible learnings in there:
* xidel for some xml processing
* going mental with DuckDBs #JSON support
* ASOF and ANTI joins

Since I joined #Neo4j, @meistermeier and I shipped 170 releases of SDN+OGM… Jeez…
