Digitaler Wochenrückblick 5. April 2026 – Showdown
Es ist und bleibt so ein wohlig-warmes Gefühl in ein totes Schaf zu treten… die fliegen wieder zum Mond, und? Naja, es funktioniert Outlook nicht, konnten sie aus der Entfernung (remote) lösen. Natürlich wurde der Flight-Director Judd Frieling dazu befragt.
Sagt er auf der täglichen Pressekonferenz entschuldigend zu den Outlook Problemen, dass so etwas nicht selten vorkommen würde. Na, dann kann ja nix mehr passieren. Dennoch hat sich die Marketing-Abteilung von Microsoft das völlig anders vorgestellt – nicht, dass ihre Programme funktionieren würden, darum geht es nicht, aber muss wirklich darüber gesprochen werden?
Auf BlueSky gab es dieses Bildchen von Karl Klammer (der schwachsinniger Windows-Klassiker) dazu und die Antwort sieht so aus (Draufklicken, Fotos haben wir hier nicht …)
Die ganze neuerliche Mondlandung erinnert mich an den Science-Fiction Kult-Klassiker Iron Sky von 2012, vom Helium 3-Abbau auf dem Mond, eine US-Präsidentin die wieder gewählt werden, bis hin zu einem schwarzen Astronauten an Bord. Nachdem alles schiefgeht, entdeckt die Präsidentin, dass sie auch durch einen Krieg Wahlen gewinnen kann. So weit ist das alles nicht weg – nur eine amerikanische Präsidentin ist denn doch zu hoch gegriffen! (Wer den Film sehen will, der besorgt sich nicht die Kinofassung, sondern gleich den „Dictators Cut“, ein cineastischer Hochgenuss!)
Science-Fiction kann sehr realistisch sein, die Wirklichkeit ist oftmals sogar dramatischer. Gestern sprachen alle darüber, wie Instagram/Meta durch Dauerscrollen die jugendlichen Nutzerinnen und Nutzer, vor allem Kinder am Smart-Device halten, bis hin zur Selbstaufgabe und diesem selig-glücklichen leeren Blick am Ende des Tages.
Was macht Meta und wer strahlt lustvoll in die Kamera: Mark Zuckerberg, darüber der Titel im Business Insider „Meta is assembling an elite new AI lab for its recommendations division“
Da wird KI zum Bruder des Teufels!
Aber: wer nur scrollt, kann nicht arbeiten, kann sich also den Ramsch nicht leisten, der da unablässig präsentiert wird. Ob das sinnvoll ist? Wir wissen es einfach nicht, wir glauben …
An den dicken Eiern und die kleinen Überraschungen dazwischen konnten im Morgengrauen viele Kinder heute das Osterfest entdecken. Für die Eltern habe ich auch noch eine Überraschung: Heute ist nicht nur Ostersonntag, sondern es ist auch der 1. Sonntag im Monat, das ist der di.day und steht für Digital Independence Day.
Diesmal haben wir das über Wochen vorbereitet, wer es in den kleinen, überschaubaren Häppchen nicht schlucken wollte, der muss jetzt die ganze Pulle auf einmal nehmen.
Wenn schon Outlook nicht bei der Mondmission funktioniert, müssen wir uns auch nicht damit quälen, besser wir denken drüber nach, wie wir von Outlook oder Google wegkommen, darum ging es am 8. Februar, hier starten!
Am 15. Februar blickten wir auf das Grauen bei einem neuen Mailprogramm.
Am 22. Februar haben wir bei „Der Umstieg“ erfolgreich ein neues Mailkonto eingerichtet.
Am 1. März mit der „Der Loslösung“ würgen wir outlook/hotmail und gmail ab – wir haben eine neue Mailadresse!
Am 8. März folgt die „Der Vollendung“ und alle sind in der Lage alle Mails von Google zu entfernen und an dieser Stelle auch der Tipp für treue Leserinnen und Leser wie sie an den Rabatt für den Extradienst von mail.de kommen.
Am 15. März geht es mit „Weg hier“ darum die Mails bei Mircosoft von Outlook zu befreien. Probleme mit Outlook hat auch unsere Mission zum Mond, also besser jetzt eingreifen.
Am 22. März sammeln wir unter „Der Rest…?“ Adressbuch und Kalender bei Google ein, um
am 29. März mit „No Way Back“ werden die letzten digitalen Spuren bei Microsoft ausgelöscht.
Übrigens, eMails an die Raumstation sind problemlos mit Thunderbird möglich, sofern die Mailadresse bekannt ist und Outlook dort funktioniert, auf der Erde brauchen wir solche Programme nicht.
Insgesamt gehört nicht viel dazu, um von google/outlook/hotmail wegzukommen, es muss der Wille zur Veränderung angestachelt werden.
Natürlich können wir abwarten, einfach sitzen bleiben – so schlimm ist das doch alles nicht. Ganz wie der Frosch, der im heißen Wasser sitzt – bis es kocht und er einfach platzt. Geht auch, ganz schmerzfrei sei das nicht, heißt es.
Noch ein Frohes Osterfest – und lasst mir die Frösche in Ruhe …
Mark Zuckerberg: un tecno bro siniestro sentado a la diestra de Trump
qwant news | Sources: Mark Zuckerberg is back to writing code after a two-decade hiatus, submitting three diffs to Meta's monorepo, and is a heavy user of Claude Code CLI
Anthropic announced that, effective April 4 2026 at 12 p.m. PT, Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage on third‑party tools such as OpenClaw. The company says the move is meant to “better manage capacity” and to focus on customers who use its own products and API. Existing subscribers can still access Claude through discounted extra‑usage bundles or a one‑time credit equal to their monthly plan, and they may request a full refund. The change sparked a flood of reactions on X, with many users complaining that the policy was a “rug‑pull” and others noting that the subscription model was never intended for heavy third‑party load.
At the same time, OpenAI is undergoing a senior‑leadership reshuffle. COO Brad Lightcap is shifting to a “special projects” role that will oversee an internal “DeployCo” team aimed at accelerating enterprise adoption of its AI services. Meanwhile, CMO Kate Rouch is stepping down to focus on cancer treatment, and fellow executive Fidji Simo is taking a medical leave. The changes have been widely reported, with analysts questioning whether the moves signal a broader strategic pivot as OpenAI grapples with rapid growth and new competition.
Other headlines on the Techmeme snapshot include Elon Musk’s requirement that banks advising on the SpaceX IPO purchase Grok subscriptions and advertise on X, and reports that Iranian strikes have knocked two AWS availability zones in Bahrain and Dubai “hard down,” prompting Amazon to de‑prioritize the regions. Additional notable items feature the U.S. CFTC suing three states over prediction‑market regulation, Microsoft’s $10 billion AI and cybersecurity investment in Japan, and the launch of Cursor 3—a new agent‑first coding platform positioned as a competitor to Claude Code and Codex. These items together paint a picture of a sector grappling with capacity limits, regulatory pressures, and an accelerating race to lock‑in AI infrastructure.

bing news | NCOSE Just Put Mark Zuckerberg on Its 2026 Dirty Dozen List
The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) has added Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to its 2026 “Dirty Dozen” list, naming him a major offender for facilitating online sexual exploitation of children. In a statement, NCOSE Executive Director Haley McNamara said Zuckerberg’s leadership has consistently placed growth and profit ahead of child safety, turning Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp into “breeding grounds for child sexual abuse, grooming, sextortion, and sex trafficking.” She warned that when AI, social‑media platforms, and digital services enable such abuse, executives must be called out and forced to act urgently.
The Dirty Dozen list, an annual report that spotlights the most significant contributors to sexual exploitation, also includes Amazon, Android, Apple, Google Chromebooks, Discord, Grok, Snapchat, Steam, Telegram, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter). Zuckerberg’s inclusion follows a recent civil case in which a Los Angeles jury ordered Meta to pay $375 million in penalties after finding the company liable for misleading consumers about the safety of its platforms. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez called the verdict “a historic victory for every child and family” and accused Meta executives of knowingly harming children while lying to the public.
Meta’s spokesperson said the company “respectfully disagrees with the verdict and will appeal,” emphasizing that Meta works hard to keep people safe and is clear about the challenges of identifying and removing harmful content. The company pledged to continue defending itself vigorously while maintaining confidence in its record of protecting teens online. NCOSE hopes the list will help parents stay informed about platforms that pose risks to children and spur urgent action to stop the ongoing sexual exploitation facilitated by these services.
qwant news | Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk Being Taxed Less Than An 'Average Nurse'? Jayapal, Elizabeth Warren Say Not An
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D‑Wash.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D‑Mass.) are pushing to revive the Ultra‑Millionaire Tax Act, which would levy a 2 % annual tax plus a 1 % surcharge—totaling a 3 % yearly tax—on fortunes exceeding $50 million. The legislation, backed by Rep. Brendan F. Boyle and more than 40 other lawmakers, targets the wealthiest 0.15 % of U.S. households (about 260,000 families) and aims to narrow the racial wealth gap. According to a new analysis, the bill could raise roughly $6.2 trillion over the next decade, funding programs such as universal child care, free community college, and expanded Medicare—all without increasing taxes for the remaining 99.85 % of households.
Earlier in March, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I‑VT) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D‑Calif.) introduced the “Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act,” proposing a 5 % wealth tax on U.S. billionaires that could generate enough revenue to provide $3,000 payments to millions of Americans. The plan would affect around 938 billionaires and is framed as another effort to curb economic inequality. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that rising taxes alone would not solve the nation’s challenges, emphasizing that migration from high‑cost states like California and New York to cheaper regions such as Nevada and Florida is already straining major cities and that broader policy reforms and better use of government funds are needed.
The debate unfolds as Washington state recently enacted a millionaires’ tax (Senate Bill 6346) that taxes income over $1 million and directs revenue toward families and small businesses—funding free school meals, expanded tax credits, affordable child care, and eliminating sales tax on diapers and over‑the‑counter drugs. Critics, including Dimon, argue that simply increasing taxes on the ultra‑wealthy may not address underlying systemic issues, while proponents contend that these measures are essential to reduce the stark wealth disparity highlighted by the fact that billionaires such as Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, investor Warren Buffett, media mogul Michael Bloomberg, and Tesla’s Elon Musk are taxed at lower effective rates than an average nurse.
qwant news | Google Rival DuckDuckGo Roasts Jeff Bezos' Tall Beverly Hills Fence And Mark Zuckerberg's Multi-Million D
DuckDuckGo lampooned Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday, pointing out the towering fence surrounding his $175 million Beverly Hills estate. The company’s tweet called the fence “the tallest residential fence in the area” and joked that it resembled a hedge fund, noting that Bezos must pay a $1,000 monthly fine for exceeding local height restrictions.
The next day the privacy‑focused search engine turned its attention to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, highlighting his purchase of more than 11 homes in Palo Alto’s Crescent Park neighborhood for over $100 million. DuckDuckGo sarcastically dubbed the acquisitions “a privacy setting,” noting that Zuckerberg paid double or triple market value and that the influx of security cameras and private guards has altered the once‑quiet, tree‑lined community.
Both tweets underscored the irony that the two tech moguls, whose companies profit from massive data collection, are spending fortunes on personal privacy measures. Benzinga reached out to Amazon and Meta for comment, but neither responded at the time of publication.
yahoo news | Meta lays off hundreds as tech giant continues AI investment
Meta is cutting roughly 200 jobs in the San Francisco Bay Area, with 124 positions eliminated in Burlingame and another 74 in Sunnyvale. The layoffs, slated to take effect in late May, are part of a broader effort by the Facebook parent company to trim its workforce as it pours billions into artificial‑intelligence projects. Executives have warned that the cuts could expand to affect more than 20 percent of Meta’s staff—about 15,000 workers—while CEO Mark Zuckerberg has signaled that AI tools are allowing single, highly‑skilled employees to accomplish work that once required large teams.
Even as it reduces headcount, Meta says it continues to hire for critical roles; the firm’s total workforce stood at 78,865 at the end of December 2025, a 6 percent year‑over‑year increase. The company is shifting its strategy from labor‑intensive operations to machine‑driven systems, highlighted by a planned $10 billion investment in a new data center in El Paso, Texas, and an overall commitment of up to $135 billion toward AI. Recent weeks have already seen the company let go of about 700 employees across operations, recruiting, sales, and its Reality Labs unit, marking the largest wave of cuts since the “year of efficiency” layoffs of 2022‑23.
Meta’s moves mirror a wider trend across the tech sector, where more than 152 000 workers were laid off in 2024 and at least 118 000 in 2025, with estimates for 2026 ranging from 45 000 to over 52 000. Major firms such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Salesforce are also reshaping their workforces, cutting repetitive, rule‑based roles while aggressively recruiting talent for AI‑related positions. Analysts note that AI is becoming the new fixed cost, relegating many human tasks to a variable‑cost model, though some executives caution that replacing people with machines does not automatically yield the promised efficiencies.
