Your Friends Could Be Sharing Your #PhoneNumber with #ChatGPT
"ChatGPT is getting more social," reports PC Magazine, "with a new feature that allows you to sync your #contacts to see if any of your friends are using the #chatbot or any other #OpenAI product..." It's "completely optional," [OpenAI] says. However, even if you don't opt in, anyone with your number who syncs their contacts are giving OpenAI your digits.

Hype for the Future 107I: Does Knowing More People equal More Success?
Overview Society expects social capital to correlate directly with life satisfaction, and in many cases relating to the loneliness epidemic, this particular case is absolutely the situation that society is living under. Since issues of negativity are often consequences of social scarcity, only a few options and opportunities remain for increased life satisfaction, which could be acceptable in a small circle but should ideally be a collective effort across the entirety of the community and of […]3 cases of #Nipah – 2 in #India & 1 in #Bangladesh – caused concern about a {potential} wider outbreak. Over 230 #contacts have been followed, but no further cases have been identified. The two outbreaks are not related. #WHO DG, https://www.who.int/news-room/speeches/item/who-director-general-s-opening-remarks-at-the-media-briefing---11-february-2026
This Tool Searches the #Epstein Files For Your #LinkedIn #Contacts
searches for people who are mentioned in the Epstein files, just in case you don’t, understandably, want anything to do with them on the already deranged social network.
404 Media tested the tool, called EpsteIn—and it appears to work.
“I found myself wondering whether anyone had mapped Epstein's network in the style of LinkedIn—how many people are 1st/2nd/3rd degree connections of #JeffreyEpstein ?”

JMAP Contacts, main feature of the next release.
Keeping my “test” GNOME tool up to date :)
* Avatars added. Backend is the same as other platforms, just made a few UI bindings.
* reworked the layout to be fully mobile-compatible (AdwBreakpoint)
It so much faster to inspect that JMAP (PatchObject) does the right things.
Xcode, Android Studio are: meh (slow, or do not show anything)
I looking for some #degoogle advice around #mail, #calendar and #contacts.
Must have:
- score 100% on the @internet_nl e-mail test.
- strong mfa (webauthn/passkeys) at least for all things web (especially the administration portal and webmail).
- strong (6~8 word passphrases, preferably one I can set my self) device passwords (for smtp/imap etc...).
- bring my own domains.
- filtering (preferably sieve).
- personal, so only a few users.
- hosted in the eu preferably in the nl or next to it

First Impressions and Eventgoers
When I connect with new people, I would like to start with my first impression of cultural openness, without forcing myself into my personal politics and political values too quickly. So while I may support diversity, equity, and inclusion principles just by being myself, I would like to start with my commitment to just being myself around other people. Regardless of my physical location or event venue, I would like to start my eventgoing journey of social networking with excitement and […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/11/16/first-impressions-and-eventgoers/

Into The Spec Pile: 12 Quick Tips On Making Your Submission Stand Out
Into The Spec Pile I’ve been diving into the spec pile of screenplays and novels for 20+ years now. ‘Spec’ is short for ‘speculative’, meaning no one in the industry has asked the writer to create that story. Instead, the writers have done it themselves…

What do you use to manage #Contacts on #Android devices ? I'm currently tryign #FossifyContacts but the fact their homepage have a proprietary-only iconset in the footer doesn't fully convince me...
Oh, also in my bag of old parts were a bunch of different DIP sockets, and wow are some of them incredibly made. There's some by a company called Cambion I wasn't familiar with, but they appear to be MilSpec-rated DIP-40 sockets. The plastic frame appears to be some nice engineering plastic - maybe POM? - it's tougher and stiffer than any nylon I've seen, much less the cheap sockets you buy. The contacts seem to be nicely plated phosphor bronze or something, and THICK.
It feels like I could beat someone to death with one of these things!
