In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
A quotation from Marcus Aurelius
O man! as a citizen thou hast lived, and conversed in this great city the world. Whether just for so many years, or no, what is it unto thee? Thou hast lived (thou mayest be sure) as long as the laws and orders of the city required; which may be the common comfort of all.Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 12, ch. 36 (12.36) (AD 161-180) [tr. Casaubon (1634), 12.27]

Do you remember your first favorite book?
My first real favorite: the fairy-tale The Golden Ball.
Today I looked up the author and discovered he’s still alive: a scholar, professor, and author of academic works on totalitarianism, information policy, and hybrid wars. I may never read those. But I will absolutely reread the first book I ever loved.
There’s something very moving about smart, busy, serious people who still choose to write for children.
Oak Beauty Moth (Biston strataria)
This species overwinters underground as a pupa, with the adults emerging in early spring. Freshly emerged moths, such as the one in this photo taken last year, are often found resting near the base of trees. Despite its name, it is not restricted to oak trees.
