Elon Musk and X are once again proving why institutions should never rely on corporate-owned, centrally-controlled social media platforms to reach their people.
Update: das war es dann.

In knapp 9 Stunden endet die Anmeldefrist fĂŒr Assemblies.
Im Gegensatz zu sonst werden wir dieses Jahr einen klaren Cut machen - Verpeiler haben dann Pech gehabt. Sagt nicht, ich hÀtte euch nicht gewarnt.
tl;dr: Registriert eure Assembly ab sofort im Hub, spĂ€testens aber bis Sonntag, den 23. November, 23:42 Uhr (MEZ). Auch zum 39C3 wird es auf mehreren FlĂ€chen und Ebenen des CCH wieder Tische, StĂŒhle und Orte geben, die mit euren Ideen, Themen und Projekten gefĂŒllt werden wollen. Bringt mit, was euch in euren Communities, Hackspaces, Erfas und Chaostreffs beschĂ€ftigt und begeistert. Schraubt gemeinsam an Projekten und Ideen, kommt mit Interessierten in Kontakt, lehrt und lernt, zeigt, erkundet und entdeckt Neues â und manchmal Altes. Frei nach dem diesjĂ€hrigen Motto Power Cycles wird es dieses Jahr Anpassungen im Assemblies-Bereich geben. Shared Tables Verteilt auf den gesamten AssemblyflĂ€chen werden einzelne Tische als âShared Table" gekennzeichnet.
#Windows10 reaches EOL today. Microsoft's message is clear: buy new hardware or pay.
For millions of users worldwide, perfectly functional computers will suddenly become "obsolete" - not because they can't run an operating system, but because #Microsoft says so. This isn't just about one OS reaching EOL. It's about a business model that treats your hardware as disposable e-waste and your security as a subscription service.
Users shouldn't have to choose between security and #sustainability.
Meanwhile, in the parallel FOSS universe...
I switched to Linux three years ago, and would highly recommend you do the same. Linux is free, actively maintained, and hardware-friendly. It gives you full control over your system and data. Currently I'm using Linux both in my private and professional life and it's fully covering all my use cases. I'm really impressed how good the user experience delivered by @gnome is.
Break free from #Windows vendor lock-in.

Right. Now forward to Russia, post-Soviet collapse. Putin eventually takes over, and in the service of his growing authoritarian regime, he builds up the myth of invincibility. Russia is destined to be an imperial superpower! Look how we threw back the invaders, twice, to their destruction!
So when Putin starts the open warfare in Ukraine (remembering heâd seized Crimea many years earlier, and the Little Green Men pseudo-invasion of the Donbas and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), he proclaimed that it would be done in three days. They put together a pretty slapdash plan, involving a push on two major fronts: one from Donbas/Luhansk, one towards Kyiv itself, including airborne troops landing at the airport to try and seize it.
Ukraine threw them back from there, pushed right back over the border near Kyiv, and eventually retaking Kharkiv and some other parts. Then the war ground to a more or less halt. The Russians couldnât push forward any other way than slow, grinding assaults, pouring in men and machines as fast as they could to try and overwhelm the Ukrainian defence.
They managed to make slow, very slow, progress, until even that petered out. Three and a half years into the open phase of the war, they were stalled.
Which is when Ukraine got their strategy working for real.
They had been building up their ability to strike behind the Russian lines, while maintaining the front line as a stalemate. Supply lines were hit, reorg and rest areas were hit, railway lines, junctions, anything they could reach, to push the Russian supply lines to be longer. Frustrated by the restrictions on deep strikes by their weapons providers in the West, they began building their own deep strike assets.
Periodic self-repetition: As a data librarian I can say that "AI" is not a matter of personal preference -- whether you like it or not, or whether you have found some use that you think is useful. It actively destroys organized knowledge, and therefore it actively destroys civilization.
Whenever someone looks for a human written text and can't find it because statistical near variants have been created and indexed, whenever "AI" "hallucinates" a reference, knowledge has been destroyed.
OK open source security nerds, I need your help
I have a podcast youtube show thing called Open Source Security

I'm always looking for guests. Back when I changed formats in January I had a pretty large list of people sent to me as suggestions. I've made it through the list (it took me 10 months)
If you know someone (or are someone) doing open source security work I would love a suggestion. DMs are open and there are other contact things on the website
I especially like guests who are unsung heroes
Nach nur zehn Tagen im Amt sprach Ministerin Reiche (CDU) beim Lobby-Event der Stiftung Familienunternehmen. Neue Dokumente zeigen: Sie und ihr Ministerium trafen die MilliardĂ€rslobby anschlieĂend mehrfach, berieten ĂŒber Steuersenkungen, BĂŒrokratieabbau und Reformen wie die Wegzugbesteuerung, die vor allem Superreichen nutzen. Ein VerstoĂ gegen das NeutralitĂ€tsgebot?
