Today is the 10th anniversary of the Honest Government Ads 🥳 What a privilege to have been able to cover a decade of shitfuckery.
Thanks to all our Patrons, past and present; all the actors, animators, legal advisors, researchers, tech-helpers, everyone who lent a hand, shared our work and left supportive comments over the years.
The work never ends of course. So we celebrated this milestone by filming our 110th episode (which will be out next week)!
Love—Giordano, Lucy, Luca and Juno 💛🧡💜🩵
Anarchist Azat #Miftakhov reported the torture he was subjected to after being transferred to Polar Owl - Penal Colony in #Kharp
On April 21, the day after arriving at the colony, Azat was taken to the administration building. They tried to force him to clean a toilet there. After he refused, he was systematically tortured. Yesterday, "The Insider" media published a detailed account by Azat, which they translated into English today. We are republishing an article by The Insider, in which Azat also names his torturers. You may find the postal address and details for financial support after the translation.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device https://www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-silent-nano-install/
> No consent dialog. No opt-out UI. Re-installs itself if the user removes it manually.
That is the true definition of malware.
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise tooling, and an automatic re-download every time the user deletes it. The pattern is identical to the Anthropic Claude Desktop case I wrote about last month, but the scale is between two and three orders of magnitude larger. This article does the legal analysis and, for the first time, the environmental analysis. The numbers are not small.
THINGS I LEARNT THROUGH SELF-EDUCATION
Read the political history/ anthropology of James C. Scott and you learn that when mass civilisation was invented then so was slavery too. States invented mass enslavement. In "The Art of Not Being Governed" he writes that the "immanent logic" of the state, any state, is "the complete elimination of nonstate spaces." Otherwise known as a total lack of genuine freedom.
