Der Fisch stinkt derzeit vom Kopf in so manchem Bundesministerium. Abwirtschaften oder Herunterwirtschaften nennt man das im Volksmund, und das ist alles andere als gut für Deutschland.

Holy shit this is detailed. Can you believe the hubris to silently collect all this information on users?

The Attack: How it works

Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers. The entire process happens in the background. There is no consent dialog, no notification, no mention of it in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. This page documents exactly how the system works, with line references and code excerpts from LinkedIn’s production JavaScript bundle.

I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.

Wenn man mal die Tatsache ignoriert, dass es total wahnsinnig ist, seine komplette wirtschaftliche und private Existenz vom Gutdünken einer Firma wie Google abhängig zu machen, sind das die realen Folgen von Ideen wie der Chatkontrolle.

Automatisiert zu entscheiden, dass CSAM vorliegt, wenn Heranwachsende mit den sie selbstverständlich umgebenden technischen Werkzeugen ihre Sexualität erkunden und dann das gesamte Umfeld aus übereifriger Compliance vorsorglich zu bestrafen, kann man dystopischer gar nicht ausmalen.

Just so we're clear -- the law Israel just passed mandating death by hanging for Palestinians is apartheid.

It. Is. Apartheid.

Israel does not punish Israelis who kill Palestinians. Instead, Israel has illegally detained more than 10,000 Palestinians, including 1000 children, without charge or conviction. These are hostages held without access to counsel in concentration camps.

This. Is. Apartheid. Any politician or journalist who cannot acknowledge that is complicit. Period.

Boston Common today. The crowd was enormous. If they say it's 100,000 people, I will not be surprised.

Regarding that WW3 everyone's been talking about...

You know that idea of a White Christmas, yeah?

That really comes from the Little Ice Age (1600 - 1800) ? Hmmm? (And Dickens remembering once upon a time.)

Well it turns out that *that* was due to the way we genocided (fancy word for murdered a whole lot of people) on both sides of the Atlantic.

So many that we decarbonised the atmosphere and triggered the cold.

We have not been good stewards of the planet

CSU-Bürgermeister Wolfgang Seifert aus dem bayerischen Wülfershausen an der Saale räumt Wahlfälschung ein

In einer kleinen Gemeinde in Bayern gibt es einen handfesten Skandal. Der amtierende Bürgermeister verfälscht dort Stimmzettel. Damit verhilft er anscheinend nicht nur sich selbst, sondern auch seiner Frau zum Erfolg.
