A woman in London found herself being extorted after a man used smart glasses to covertly record and post video of her shopping in public without her consent: https://gizmodo.com/extortion-using-smart-glasses-is-a-thing-now-2000755562

Extortion Using Smart Glasses Is a Thing Now

A woman in London was asked to pay up if she wanted a video of her removed from social media.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass Putin in zwei oder drei Jahren mit seinen Soldaten in Berlin steht ist deutlich geringer als dass die AfD im Kanzleramt oder dem Verteidigungsministerium sitzt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit dass die Bundesregierung verbrecherische Angriffskriege & Genozid unterstützt müssen wir gar nicht erst ausrechnen. Das tut sie ja bereits.
Wer aktuell mehr Rüstung & mehr Soldaten fordert, der kippt Öl ins Feuer, während er die Augen schließt, damit er nicht sieht dass das Haus brennt.

Got a response last week 🥳

TLDR: promised rail improvements don't seem to be completely off the table but I'm not sure what to think about the "boosting competition" part for tickets.
Wouldn't that fracture the market even more and make ticket buying more of a pain?

Anyways, the #eucommission is scheduled to propose a new legislative package focused on rail tomorrow, so we should know more about all of this fairly soon.
I'm glad #EuropeanRail seems to be getting more attention again :)

Happy #DiDay 🎉
I switched from Google Calendar and Google Contacts to a self-hosted #Radicale instance (CalDAV & CardDAV) on my #homeserver

Anyone else remember the proposal by Apostolos #Tzitzikostas ( #EUCommissioner for "Sustainable Transport and Tourism") to introduce a unified #eu booking system for #rail by the end of 2025?
I haven't heard a thing about that since the announcement back in 2024 so I wrote an E-mail to his team, asking what became of the idea.
--> (will post to this thread if I get a response)

If you know more about the proposal & it's current state, please share

@Tamigoesgreen oh no, that sounds really annoying :/
I at least managed to get a Google Photos takeout and then upload it via immich-go, but downloading the takeout also took ages because Google duplicates pictures/videos for every album they are in 💀

@Tamigoesgreen great, congrats 👏🥳
The mind-blowing thing to me is: immich actually works waaayy better than Google Photos in terms of people tagging etc. Plus you get so many more options to customise the experience 🤩

How's the switch from iCloud to immich?

In a recent comparison of engagement around a Leave.X campaign post,[1] someone pointed out that a female journalist who is active in the feminist movement and critical of Big Tech had a very different experience than others.

The Mastodon post was shared twice, while the Bluesky version was shared over 200 times and received significantly more interactions. This raises questions about tech-savvy spaces like Mastodon and how they reflect broader societal issues.

For women on Mastodon:

Do you feel that the patriarchal dynamics and male behavior in this space, which is still largely dominated by white men, make it harder for women to participate?
