Patricia Aas1/ Alright, I'm back with what I assume will be a week long rage thread about a book I hate. It's really not important for current events in any way, but I signed up for a talk about it in the before-times.
So mute this, it's absolutely not interesting unless your org is actually reorging based on this book.
I'd suggest not to argue with me in this thread, I've bought the book twice and I hate it. I have paid my dues, and I am already pissed that Past Patricia made me read it again.

For the last three weeks, @overcastfm on the watch has crashed playing #TheTalkShow. Each time the episode disappears and has to be re-downloaded. Seems like more than a coincidence.

Matthew GreenDo read this new investigatory piece on the web of money, AI companies, and shadowy “foundations” bankrolling the EU anti-encryption proposals. TL;DR this is the terrifying thing you get when you combine law enforcement, money and AI. https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the-eus-fight-over-scanning-for-child-sex-content/
‘Who Benefits?’ Inside the EU’s Fight over Scanning for Child Sex Content
An investigation uncovers a web of influence in the powerful coalition aligned behind the European Commission’s proposal to scan for child sexual abuse material online, a proposal leading experts say puts rights at risk and will introduce new vulnerabilities by undermining encryption.
@caseyliss As mentioned on ATP, Callsheet yearly subscription plan is indeed more expensive than monthly in Sweden. Figure I’ll hold off a while to see if this gets fixed. I’ve still got 17 searches left 😉
Jonathan CorbetAt the end of 2021, the Marshall fire swept through a highly populated part of Boulder County, destroying over 1,000 homes over the course of a few hours in an area where nobody had really thought #wildfires were a big risk.
Since then, the county has been putting out regular newsletters on the recovery process. A recent one (https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/COBOULDER/bulletins/368ffb5) includes the news that FEMA put together, for the first time, a "mitigation assessment team" to study how neighborhoods can be made more resistant to wildfire disasters. Everything from subdivision planning to how to make one's house less likely to burn. A lot of good information there.
This isn't fun stuff to think about but, as recent events have made clear yet again, we don't have a lot of choice in this matter. There's going to be more fires, and they are going to happen in surprising places. I hope this information finds its way into thought processes and building codes quickly.
I always knew I didn't like junipers...
