Uit 1987, toen ik bij meneer Dersjant van Aardrijkskunde ook cartoons maakte over ayatollahs en boten. Geschiedenis herhaalt zich niet, maar ‘t lijkt er vaak verdomd veel op.

1/ 🪅 Great news!

Today, the #EuropeanParliament voted to improve the Commission’s proposal for another extension of the ePrivacy derogation (often called "Chat Control1.0").

A large majority agreed that:
✅ Mass surveillance of private communications by Big Tech companies is not allowed, and any intrusion into people’s right to confidential communications needs to be based on reasonable suspicion;
✅ End-to-end encrypted communications cannot be weakened or undermined.

Interessante verhandeling van Cory Doctorow over de AI bubble, wat we er aan kunnen doen.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage

AI is asbestos in the walls of our tech society, stuffed there by monopolists run amok. A serious fight against it must strike at its roots

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that ⚠️ the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was 💥“anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer. From Saturday morning through Monday night, 👉more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night. The MRFF is keeping the complainants anonymous to prevent retribution by the Defense Department. https://jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/us-troops-were-told-iran-war-is-for

Dit artikel op substack van Charli XCX is erg de moeite waard, het leven van een popster met al z’n pro's en cons. Leuk geschreven en zet aan tot denken over hoe we sterren zien en de rol die ze vervullen.
