i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D
The Onion have finally completed their takeover of InfoWars, and it's everything I wanted and more.
📰 Ostbeauftragte kritisiert Streichung bei Demokratieförderung
Die Ostbeauftragte der @Bundesregierung warnt vor Folgen geplanter Kürzungen bei Demokratieprojekten – besonders in #Ostdeutschland könnten wichtige Strukturen verloren gehen.
Die hoffentlich letzte Nachricht zu unserem Kampf gegen Paypal (lange Vorgeschichte im Thread):
Wir haben gewonnen!
Nachdem eine Anwältin per Schreiben die Erstattung der EUR 1822,14 angemahnt und die Vorgehensweise von Paypal generell gerügt hat, sowie die Anwaltskosten in Höhe von knapp EUR 300,- forderte, hat Paypal heute sämtliche illegalen Abbuchungen erstattet, die Anwaltsrechnung beglichen und schriftlich versichert, dass der Fall nun abgeschlossen ist und sie gern bei weiteren polizeilichen Ermittlungen unterstützen. Damit haben sie zugegeben, dass nicht wir die Betrüger waren, wie behauptet, die wochenlange Telefonate und die mehrfachen Abbuchungen und Unterstellungen völlig deplatziert und das einfach nur eine Farce war.
Ich bin froh, dasss wir das Risiko mit einer Anwaltskanzlei eingegangen sind. Es zeigt aber generell: Man ist da völlig auf good will ausgeliefert. Einen Rechtsstreit in Luxemburg hätten wir nicht begonnen. Immerhin scheint es etwas zu bringen, wenn sich bei Paypal mal jemand hinsetzt und länger als fünf Minuten mit einem Thema befasst.
Die vielen Stunden Arbeits- und Lebenszeit bekommt natürlich nicht zurück, aber: Neuer Badge "Paypal-Bezwinger", ok?
"Denn Reiche macht genau das, was ihrem Vorhänger Robert Habeck fälschlicherweise vorgeworfen wurde: Sie handelt hoch ideologisch, auch in Zeiten des Ölschocks. Statt dem Ausbau der Erneuerbaren einen neuen Schub zu geben, hält sie an ihren Plänen fest, die Energiewende brachial abzuwürgen. Aus der CDU wird sie niemand daran hindern, auch wenn das Ganze ökonomischer Wahnsinn ist."
Anja Krüger hat Recht!

DDos (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against BlueSky a few days ago: The whole network goes down.
DDoS against mastodon.social today: Lots of users on that instance impacted, the rest of the Fediverse keeps on running, my instance doesn't really notice, messages will be queued up until mastodon.social is reachable again.
Both networks claim to be decentralised and federated. You decide :)

"Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote.
Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California."
"No surprise Hakeem Jeffries is on the take from Palintir but Sen Patty Murry D WA, was a surprise.
Other Dems on that list are:
Rep Adam Smith WA
Rep Josh Riley NY
Sen Martin Heinrich NM
Rep Peter Aguilar CA
Sen Chris Coons DE
Sen Jacky Rosen NV
Rep Jake Auchincloss MA"

Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
