Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy.

Heut ist in Schmöllns Nazigym Tag der offenen Tür.
Brisant:
Im Video zur Veranstaltung ist zu sehen, dass an einer Wand "nur wer stürmt, hat Lebensrecht" steht.
Das ist aus einem Lied von BdM/H*tlerjugend und damit eine direkte NS-Referenz.
Schreckt in Schmölln tatsächlich kaum jemanden ab, den Flyer und die Veranstaltung zu liken oder zu sharen. Selbst Gewerbetreibende nicht. Bild im Thread.

By prioritizing policy certainty, attracting investment, and ensuring public support, they’ve made a rapid shift that cuts emissions, boosts jobs, and fights poverty.

The key? An economic focus, strong coalitions, and swift action.

It’s a powerful example of how climate action can go hand in hand with social progress—no superpower needed!

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things:

1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

2. Do not give advice you haven't tried implementing yourself. Eat your own dog food.

3. Get feedback on your guide from your target audience before publication.

4. Incorporate that feedback. This is not an optional step.

Just saw someone whose Google account was shuttered. They’d been… using Sheets to track movies they’d watched.

A question people should ask themselves, but rarely do: What would you do if, tomorrow, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Dropbox, and every other cloud provider you use closed your account without warning? Then maybe spend some of today safeguarding against that eventuality.
