Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.

AppManager
GTK/Libadwaita developed desktop utility in Vala that makes installing and uninstalling #AppImages on #Linux desktop painless. It supports both SquashFS and DwarFS AppImage formats, features a seamless background auto-update process, and leverages zsync delta updates for efficient bandwidth usage. Double-click any .AppImage to open a macOS-style drag-and-drop window, just drag to install and AppManager will move the app, wire up desktop entries, and copy icons.
Features
Drag-and-drop installer: Mimics the familiar macOS Applications install flow.
Smart install modes: Can choose between portable (move the AppImage) and extracted (unpack to ~/Applications/.installed/AppRun) while letting you override it.
Desktop integration: Extracts the bundled .desktop file via 7z or dwarfs, rewrites Exec and Icon, and stores it in ~/.local/share/applications.
Simple uninstall: Right click in app drawer and choose Move to Trash, can uninstall in AppManager or simply delete from ~/Applications folder.
Install registry + preferences: Main window lists installed apps, default mode, and cleanup behaviors, all stored with GSettings.
Background app updates: Optional automatic update checks with configurable interval (daily, weekly, monthly) and notifications when updates are found.
Your Linux AppImages don't need to be disorganized.

I Built a Safer #OpenClaw Alternative Using #Claude #AI Code
OpenClaw is the fastest-growing open-source AI project in recent memory - 185,000 GitHub stars already! A legitimately impressive personal AI assistant that can manage your life and you can talk to it anywhere. But it has serious security issues - the docs literally say "there is no perfectly secure setup."
So I took the core genius ideas from OpenClaw - the memory system, the proactive heartbeat, the multi-platform adapters, the extensibility through skills - and I built my own version using just Claude Code. It took me two days.
The result is simpler, more secure, and tailored exactly to what I need. I'll introduce you to how I did this now and more content on this coming soon!
