JK Rowling explicitly calls on her followers to engage in vigilante actions against people they suspect are trans in bathrooms. This is incredibly dangerous and far more likely to result in violence against gender nonconforming cis women.

Remember: when an authoritarian and his coterie attempt to consolidate their grip on a country, every action deserves reproach. This extends to the actions of sycophants and enablers. This morning the Washington Post published a screed from Kristi Noem, which I will not link to. You can find it archived on the web. In it she, lies about Harvard; about foreign students studying there; pushes Trump’s xenophobic, anti-knowledge agenda. 1/

"im bayerischen #Landeskriminalamt – teils direkt in den Räumen der #Polizei, mit #Zugriff auf Test- und #Produktivsysteme.

Experten wie Manuel Atug, Sprecher der @AG_KRITIS und regelmäßig für die #Bundesregierung und die Bundesländer als Sachverständiger in Fragen der Cybersicherheit tätig, sprechen von einem „#Sicherheitsversagen“: Dass private Mitarbeiter eines US-Unternehmens innerhalb der deutschen #Polizei operieren, wäre vor zehn Jahren undenkbar gewesen..."

Psychologists and sociologists will now have the opportunity to watch the mass attitude adjustment of millions of MAGA keyboard warriors in real time.

From „Trump will end all wars“ to

„Don‘t question the great leader‘s wisdom - he was sent by god after all“.

It‘s a cult.

...and here it is, the clearest evidence yet of a fascist tech bro deciding the current corpus of human knowledge needs "correcting", and openly stating his intention to use his LLM to manipulate public understanding.

When I called current iterations of AI "Joseph Goebbels' wet dream", it wasn't hyperbole. Musk is talking about rewriting history to suit himself. As George Orwell said, he who controls the past controls the future.

Do you really think other chatbots aren't being similarly gamed?

We may have a last minute cancellation from a workshop organizer, unfortunately. It is not certain yet, but just in case:

Does anyone know someone willing to and able to execute a 4h workshop at #BSidesLuxembourg on June 19th?

Ja, manche Tage fühlen sich so'n bisschen an wie das Tor zur Hölle: "Lasst, die Ihr eintretet, alle Hoffnung fahren!“

An solchen Tagen kann es dann sinnvoll sein, den Dante beiseite zu legen und zu den französischen Philosophen Uderzo und Goscinni zu greifen: Die ganze Welt ist illiberal, autoritär, unsolidarisch geworden. Die ganze Welt?

@Gargron The real question is whether Meta’s circumvention of Android’s safeguards for the advertising ID — and their ability to unmask real user identities — qualifies as a criminal offense under Germany’s anti-hacking law (§202a StGB) or similar international laws governing cyberattacks.

What Meta did wasn’t just a violation of GDPR. It involved bypassing built-in technical protections with the intent to extract and link data — potentially personally identifiable information (PII) — to users without their knowledge or consent.

That is the textbook definition of unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

We need to stop framing this as a regulatory issue or a privacy mishap. This was a malicious cyber intrusion, done knowingly and at scale, by a corporation with full awareness of the legal and technical boundaries it was crossing.

It’s time we start treating it as such.

Sporadic reminder to do a #backup of your #Mastodon account (i.e. request an #archive from your instance)!

Even in the Fediverse servers crash and instance admins turn rogue, and all of a sudden you may be left with nothing but the last archive.org snapshot of your account, so... request your archives, folks!

The sigil was drawn in salt and ash, the candles lit at the pentagram points, the incantation declaimed.

There was a shimmer - a demon appeared.

"Curious. What ritual is this?"

"I got it from ChatGPT. I included all protections in my prompt!"

"I see," the demon said and stepped out of the sigil.
