It is fantastic that AI companies can freely scrape copyrighted stuff from the Internet, but downloading of `youtube-dl` is illegal in the whole EU, because Hamburg regional court said so .. 🤦‍♂️
IT Sicherheit am Limit

Company: Pick a password.
Comp: No, a stronger PW.
Comp: Stronger!

The thing that galls me about Microsoft Recall is that it tracks everything you do on your computer, but Microsoft themselves have demonstrated in vulnerability disclosures that they clearly don’t even log what the hell is happening in the Azure control plane.

Despite the headlines, Dutch #EU #election results provide subtle change, away from centre-right to left, and to far-right

Progressive, pro-EU parties (Green/SocDems, LibDems D66, Volt, Party for Animal Rights) together won 14 seats (+2 from 2019).

Conservative right-wing parties (VVD, Christian Dems, NSC, 50+, SGP, Christian Union CU) had the strongest loss with 9 seats (-3 from 2019).

Far-right anti-European parties (PVV, Farmer's Party, Forum for Democracy) went from 5 to 8 seats (+3).

Business meetings exist to share information and coordinate activity: this shit enables you to be apparently present in all but actually not engaged with any. If your calendar is triple-booked then your organization is under-resourced and needs more people, not more AI.

Finnish landslide for Left, second-largest party in EU elections.

Also some small joy to be had in the fact that notorious climate change delayist Eija-Riitta Korhola didn't get elected.
