Condoning everyday fascism for those less fortunate is how you eventually get fascism for all. And this isn’t just about the US. This is a warning for Europe and beyond. Here in Europe, most of our governments have been merrily supporting the US and Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza (and the ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism, and apartheid) as well as previous imperialist invasions of far off lands for oil, happily sharing in the spoils of the suffering. (Not a surprise, really. After all, who were the settler colonialists that created the US?) Frontex is our ICE-in-making. We’re handing Palantir government contacts and data on our citizens. Successive neoliberal and conservative governments have been steadily pushing the ratchet to the right while demonising those who want to protect the environment and the most vulnerable and who have the audacity to imagine a future where the basic necessities of life – food, water, shelter, healthcare – are human rights, not commodities. In other words, we’ve been playing by the same colonial/neoliberal/conservative playbook as the US (heck, maybe we even invented it)… why should we expect any other outcome if we continue to behave exactly the same way?
All this to say, if you’re fine with the boot being on someone else’s neck today, don’t be surprised when it’s on yours tomorrow.
There might still be time to change things for the better. But it will not happen unless the justice we seek is justice for all.
We cannot allow police officers to be judge, jury, and executioner in the street. That is not how this works. That is not the social contract that we all agreed to.

Chronicles of a bad idea. Or how I designed a systolic array with in-silicon debug infrastructure from scratch in under two weeks, and taped it out on Global Foundry 180 nm though a Tiny Tapeout experimental shuttle.
If you look at African American newspapers from the very early 20th century, there is an ongoing discussion about the problems with policing. Literally nonstop 100 plus year problem...
behind every cop who murders a 13-year-old child, there is a city lawyer working to keep the video secret, a prosecutor lying about it in court, a mayor giving cops more money and weapons, and a professor with a consulting firm deciding which "reform" will make the most money.
Many of us didn't choose to become activists. We were activated. We could not stand to sit on the sidelines while our people were brutalized so needlessly. At some point, we choose to accept police violence, or we don't. Where will you stand?
Trump is moving forward with the US dominion project at lightning speed - will the Empire overreach and crash or succeed in trapping the world into a Technate from which there is no escape?

Israel plans to restrict the number of Palestinians entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, ensuring that more people are allowed out than in, a long-standing objective aimed at expelling Palestinians from their land.

Campaigners are calling for an international day of solidarity with Palestinian detainees held in Israeli prisons, amid mounting evidence of inhumane treatment and abuse.
Rep. Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat, says he was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told him that President Trump was going to deport him before punching the lawmaker in the face. “He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.”

BON tout ça est bien blob mais y a toujours personne parmi vous pour me dire en quoi la synchronisation sensorimotrice à un stimulus acoustique repose bien sur un phénomène d'entraînement des oscillations corticales auditives plutôt que de purement refléter l'adéquation du couplage sensori-moteur dans le traitement de l'information kinesthésique relative au tapping hein
NB ceci n'est pas une vraie demande d'aide et en particulier, n'allez pas poser la question à une IAgen, je préfère me coltiner une énième fois la littérature sur la question. Qui sait ? Puisque l'univers est une chose fabuleuse dont les lois sont encore mal comprises, surtout à l'échelle de ses tressaillements biologiques, il n'est pas exclu qu'un paragraphe ou deux finissent par générer des étincelles quelque part au fond de ma gélatineuse gelée de cervelle de blob.
beaucoup trop compliqué pour moi. (je ne sais toujours pas bien m'en servir d'un moteur de recherche, l'IA n'est même pas dans la liste de possibilités) je propose un truc super rythmé, comme un tango (Gotan project) et puis une cacophonie (moi, en journée). bonjour aussi, je vais aller jouer avec des LEGO pour me sentir intelligent et boire du thé. beaucoup de thé.
This meant doing a big dive with me into the entire archive.
it's funny, looking back at all of it, I do make a lot of my layout, paneling, and overall composition decisions with an extreme degree of deliberation, and I do this to cover for the fact that my draftsmanship is pretty bad, but tbh, it makes for a very readable comic (lettering aside) and I feel accomplished about that.
A power outage struck the entire city of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, on Saturday evening. The local electricity provider, Nuukseeorfit, attributed the outage to what it described as an incident, adding that it was working to restore backup power.
1/2 Taavi Eelmaa Rainer Jancise põlvkonnast: "Kunagi nimetas üks hea sõber, minust poole noorem poeet, kirjeldatavat põlvkonda eravestluses mahlakalt „pu**isaatjate põlvkonnaks”. [---]. Umbusklikkus, inglise keele keskpärane valdamine ja demoniseeriv suhtumine rahasse on paljude muude veidruste kõrval sellele generatsioonile omased tõesti. [---] Teatav rohmakus asjade kokkuvõtmisel, komme uks seljataga pauguga kinni lüüa. Mingit laadi tung olla otsekohesem kui tarvis."
Kui üks geenilaine hakkab tasapisi hääbudes rannale laksuma, siis kerkib ikka ilus küsimus: „Millised me olime?” Just „millised”! Mitte „kes me olime”, vaid „millised”.
2/2 Hea kokkuvõte põlvkonnast. See on nõks vanem kui mina; nt inglise keelt oskavad minuealised ilmselt juba õige natuke paremini. Aga mind jäi eriti kummitama see "demoniseeriv suhtumine rahasse". See on täpselt mina ja minuealiste seltskond, kellega suhtlesin. Mind on ikka õpetatud, et raha peab vihkama ja põlgama. See istub sügaval sees. Väga erinev kui tänapäeva noored.
Reporting corrupt police departments to internal affairs is not how police corruption research works. It has to all be done online and in public view. Think George Floyd.
#matériel Rappel: Si vous avez un appareil avec une batterie (smartphone, etc.) et que vous voulez faire durer sa batterie, n'utilisez pas de "chargeurs rapides".
Utiliser un chargeur rapide ça charge plus vite mais ça fait chauffer la batterie et ça réduit sa durée de vie.
Si vous avez le temps, bien sûr, chargez lentement : Avec un petit bloc chargeur, ou même sur le port USB de votre ordinateur (qui ont généralement une faible puissance).
Pour aller plus loin, il y a cet article sur « comment prolonger les batteries au lithium » qui était sorti en 2019.
J'en ai retenu que : - plus la fourchette décharge-charge est petite, mieux c'est. Et - que la fourchette 65 % - 75 % est celle qui prolonge le mieux la durée de vie des batteries.
Manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of Li-ion in most consumer products as being between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles.…
Un monsieur a creusé la question, et visiblement la charge rapide a un effet négligeable. La limite à 80% en revanche c'est une bonne idée. youtu.be/kLS5Cg_yNdM
Erratum : en fait la vidéo ne trouve pas d'effet important de la limite de pourcentage de charge maximum non plus.

MOn chargeur rapide de téléphone est juste pour emporter en voyage et pour une charge d'urgence (genre mon billet pour le 3ème train est dans le téléphone, il faut être sûr d'avoir de la batterie pour le contrôle)
alors tiens, j'ai une question. J'ai acheté assez recemment un téléphone. Au départ la batterie tenait 24h avant d'arriver dans les 20 derniers pourcents. Maintenant c'est plus, il m'arrive souvent de ne devoir recharger qu'en fin de 2e journée. Hier j'avais oublié le chargeur quelque part, ça a même fait 48h. J'ai mis en charge (lente en effet) ce matin, 30 min plus tard j'avais 65%
Ça fait comme si la capacité de la batterie avait augmenté. C'est la première fois que je vois ça...
Heeeeu tu aurais le détail technique de ça stp ? Moi j'ai toujours lu le contraire (mettre un chargeur au-dessus de l'ampérage, jamais en-dessous). Tu me surprends beaucoup !
Ouh là là, je l'ai depuis mai et j'ai toujours systématiquement utilisé la charge rapide. Tu penses qu'il faut vraiment que je perde cette sale habitude ?
Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way.
Because of limited space, I am using "governments or law enforcement" as shorthand for anyone who can show up at Microsoft with a valid court order for your data. This is not a 1-to-1 mapping. I understand the difference and I don't feel like arguing about it.
A threat model must always include governments or law enforcement, especially in USA (Gestapo aka ICE). Maybe also in EU, because EU commission wants total surveillance.
I still wonder what happened at the end of TrueCrypt, especially since they recommended using Bitlocker when they shut the project down. I've always had the feeling that govt was involved.
@shufflecake a bit of shameless self-promotion: it looks like we'll be able to launch a prototype for a fully hidden OS using #Shufflecake somewhere this year. And, no, we don't have an option for uploading encryption keys to "the Cloud" 😂 shufflecake.net/
“While key recovery offers convenience, it also carries a risk of unwanted access, so Microsoft believes customers are in the best position to decide... how to manage their keys” If you pay for Windows Pro which is 100$ more compared to Windows Home.
If you (everyone who's reading this) have already uploaded the recovery key, use manage-bde -protectors -get D: to find the ID of "Numerical Password" (recovery key) and delete it with manage-bde -protectors -delete -id ID D: .
Bitlocker would work with no recovery key set, but if you do want to generate a new recovery key, see Microsoft documentation below: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/wind…
Reference article for the manage-bde command, which turns on or turns off BitLocker, specifies unlock mechanisms, updates recovery methods, and unlocks BitLocker-protected data drives.
This is disingenuous click-bait (no surprise from Forbes). If the machine is your own, NOT managed by an employer or school, and you did not specifically choose the option to backup your recovery key by "Saving to your Microsoft Account", Microsoft doesn't have your key and can't assist law enforcement authorities in accessing the data.
In principle that would also include anyone who knows my email address and can set up a phishing website, right?
Government agencies need whatever a valid warrant is in their jurisdiction, but a user just has to log in to their account and click through the "I forget my Bitlocker password" workflow.
So someone who knows me, or stole my laptop bag with my business cards in it, knows who to phish to get into an account likely to have my recovery key, right?
The person at Forbes who described this as a 'flaw' seems like they are deliberately underselling it. At least with tech 'flaw' almost entirely implies 'error' rather than 'decision'. It's a little harsher than some of the euphemisms that vendors prefer for product defects, in order to try to normalize how many they ship; but it's absolutely exonerative of one's intentions; which is wholly undeserved.
Does MS automatically store BitLocker recovery keys on MS accounts for Pro/Enterprise editions of Windows when enabling BitLocker? I know they do this on Home editions of Windows if you have the "Device encryption" feature enabled, but at least for other editions it usually gives you the option to store the recovery key as a file when you enable BitLocker. Unless of course that's not an option that's provided if you deployed a Bitlocker management configuration to a number of devices?
Simply deactivate Bitlocker. Bad by design and a gate wide open to lock YOU OUT.
Just use Veracrypt or something like that on a second drive ou usb stick to protect the very sensible data......and at least, deactivate Bitlocker, that force windows recall or whatever is name to deactivate too.
it absolutely floors me to see how many people are reposting this article. I mean it's good for awareness but considering anyone involved with security didn't know big tech hands over your data to IC or law enforcement before today has been living under a rock.
“#Microsoft says it will provide encryption keys for Windows PC data protected by BitLocker where it has access to them and it's received a valid warrant.”
The word “valid” sure is doing a lot of work there. This is the most corrupt DoJ and FBI in generations. One that ignores court rulings that it disagrees with. So what way is the warrant “valid”? Syntactically? Grammatically? Because if we get any deeper, like morally or ethically, the argument gets harder to make.
Personally I consider the use of microsoft for any threat model out side of not having one and not caring a bad option unless its your only option say for a service that noone else has that is to high enough standards. Just a personal opinion maybe im wrong.
interesting. Thanks for sharing. The article refers to it as a “privacy flaw”. I guess it depends on the definition of privacy, though to me, it seems like a security flaw.
Apart from that, storing the key in the specific provider‘s cloud isn‘t a good idea anyway - the same counts for iCloud as well. There are things that should be separated from each other because of reasons, this one is just another proof for the need to do so.
don't keep them on your microsoft-controlled, universally-backdoored computer either. microsoft, and thus the government, can get at them from your computer too. why wouldn't it?
🇨🇦 🌲 I really miss walking among the west coast cedar trees, their smooth, flat, needles brushing gently against the skin on my hands and face; inhaling the lovely fragrance ever so lightly spicy paired with a strong deep sweetness. If caught in a light rain a large cedar tree offered a dry shelter, where I rested my weary body upon a deep forgiving carpet of discarded dry fronds. Crushed cedar needles when exposed to a tiny flame always provided a natural fire starter to warm my damp chilled fingers and toes. I miss walking among my old, stately, quiet friends, Vancouver Island western red cedars.
beautiful. That’s some peak Pacific Northwest if I have ever read it. Even though you’re referencing BC, all of that is very much PNW. I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
The government business model is clear. Governments have corrupted systems of military, police and legal regulators to facilitate their corrupt and dangerous activities.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man on Saturday, sparking a confrontation between authorities and more than 100 people who had gathered at the scene, according to local and federal officials in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In the nineteenth century, Black people lived in fear that at any moment a slave catcher could snatch them or their children up, regardless of status or social position. In the twenty-first century, Black people live in fear that at any moment police will throw them against a wall, or worse, regardless of whether there is any pretense of suspicion other than the color of their skin.

The police aren't hired to protect you. They're hired to keep an eye on you to see what you did that was wrong so that they can book you. That's their function. They are not protectors. They are not hired to be protectors. They are hired to keep an eye on all of us as potential criminals. Now, do you think they're going to make you safe? They weren't hired to make you safe.
Israeli enemy forces arrested two young men on Saturday while they were herding sheep on the outskirts of the town of Saida al-Hanout in the southern al-Quneitra countryside, southern Syria, before taking them into occupied territory.
The white supremacist capitalist patriarchy is held in place with trauma. From enslavement to the activity of the Klan to the movements of the police, it's all about taunting and terrorizing, daring the people it's keeping down to react violently.
Patrisse Khan-Cullors, An Abolitionist's Handbook: 12 Steps to Changing Yourself and the World
Hear me out. We need prayer for our kitty friend @Turkleton
Last time I did this, the very first prayer I received was “total cancer death.” That was the problem and that was “Testing Jesus. The muses didn’t like that!
This time is different. This time is experiencing Jesus—love, mercy, healing.
Only sincere prayers may enter here. No careless words. No dark intentions. If you truly wish @Turkleton to get well, you are welcome. If not, please pass respectfully.
And if U,S. history has taught us anything, a police officer’s “discretion” is often rooted in racism, whether their own or that of the racist institution signing their checks.
Elizabeth Camarillo Gutierrez, My Side of the River
Australia's Special Envoy To Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal and her husband John Roth help pay for this Advance Australia Fair propaganda to the tune of $50,000.
The March for White Australia on January 26, already infested with neo-Nazis and white nationalists of varying stripes, is propelled by the same forces that claim to be 'combatting antisemitism'.
2/ The Continuing Appeal of Nationalism is the title of a terrific essay by Fredy Perlman.
I thought of it and the poetry of Erich Mühsam as I read over Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Jillian Segal's submission to the NSW parliamentary inquiry into ‘Measures to prohibit slogans that incite hatred’, which makes a number of recommendations.
Among them (Recommendation 4) is the introduction of a new offence, one of 'promoting, advocating or glorifying violence and similar conduct'. The submission recommends that:
"This offence should not be confined to promoting violence against protected groups. It should specifically include conduct which implicitly promotes violence, including by:
• References to nation-states or their entities (such as “Death to Israel”, "Death to Australia” “Death to the Zionist entity” etc);
• Prohibited organisation symbols (including Nazi, terrorist and "prohibited hate organisation’ symbols), and symbols or gestures that are so closely connected with a prohibited organisation that they are customarily used to identify the group or any part of the group or its ideology (including the inverted red triangle, discussed below); and
• Phrases which can reasonably be interpreted as promoting violence.
The offence should be a strict liability offence.
The offence should be supported by authoritative guidance which illustrates the scope of the offence provision (see, Recommendation 2 above). As discussed above, this might be included as a non-statutory list of examples (including a pictorial list of symbols), and in addition, more detailed guidance might be published by NSW Police, endorsed by the Attorney General."
So: declaring vigorous opposition to/calling for the abolition of a nation-state should, according to Segal -- whose family trust funds the right-wing ultra-nationalist Advance propaganda lobby -- be a strict liability criminal offence.
Of course, just as nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, nobody should expect a committed Zionist to appreciate anti-nationalist sentiment, but those of us who do includes anti-militarist poet and anarchist Erich Mühsam, who as a political opponent of Nazi Germany was tortured to death by Nazis in Oranienburg concentration camp on July 11, 1934. Fifty years later, his poetry helped inspire German punk band Slime to compose a little ditty called "Deutschland muß sterben (damit wir leben können!)"; or: "Germany must die – so that we can live!"
I'd be happy to be included in this honourable tradition.
@Wiz @Wiz i was talking to a friend today and i liked them something on your peertube instance. it was actually filtered by their firewall with an screen asking if sure to visit, did you know about this filtering of you?
He also started calling me "Kat"....It was his way of trying to ingratiate himself to me. It was also the technique called "forced teaming," typical of con men, rapists, and serial killers as well as police officers appearing to be a friend, not an inquisitor.
These are the facts: If violence strikes, survival depends on what we alone do in the crucial first seconds. The police won't be there to help. They'll get there later to pick up the pieces.
