#TechIsShitDispatch #AI #slop Like so many other colleges and universities, the uni my son is attending in the fall has partnered with https://www.campusesp.com to build their "family hub" site, which is supposed to be our one-stop shop for getting info we need. Like so many other shitty companies, #CampusESP has removed the search box on their website and replaced it with an AI chatbot. 😡 (1/4)

#TechIsShitDispatch A few days ago, I placed an order in a restaurant that uses #Toast for its point-of-sale terminals and entered my email address to receive a receipt via email. The receipt never arrived. I figured it was a one-off, maybe I typed my email address incorrectly, and shrugged it off. Today I placed an order at another restaurant that uses Toast. Again, I asked for an email receipt and it never arrived. It's not me. I checked my mail server logs. The receipts are not there. (1/4)

#Microsoft locks account that #VeraCrypt maintainer uses to sign #Windows bootloaders with no explanation or route for appeal. If they don't fix this, in a few months every Windows computer that uses VeraCrypt whole-disk encryption will stop being able to boot and all the data on it that isn't backed up elsewhere will be lost. 🤦 If this doesn't convince you big tech has too much control, I don't know what will. h/t @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/08/veracrypt-encryption-software-windows-microsoft-lock-boot-issues/ #infosec #privacy #TechIsShitDispatch
