please “enjoy” the State of Mozilla, one of the least hinged things I’ve seen released with pride by an established corporation: stateof.mozilla.org/ (epilepsy warning)

Dieser Text ist zuerst in unserem Newsletter erschienen.Hier abonnieren: Newsletter Hallo Freund*innen! Wir kommen direkt zum Punkt: Die Sea Punks stehen kurz vor’m Ende. Es geht diesmal um Alles oder Nichts.Hannes (Sea Punks e.V.)
10 Jahre ist es an diesem Dienstag her, dass Aktivist:innen aus Europa und Nordafrika das Alarm Phone aus der Taufe hoben: Eine Notrufhotline für Migrant:innen und Flüchtlinge in Seenot, 24 Stunden besetzt, mehrsprachig, von Ehrenamtlichen getragen. Sie wollten praktisch gegen etwas vorgehen, was der Öffentlichkeit damals kaum bekannt war, aber zu jener Zeit schon Tausende Menschen das Leben gekostet hatte.
„Left to die“ – so hatten Aktivist:innen in jener Zeit die Praxis der Behörden markiert, Flüchtlingsboote in Seenot sich selbst zu überlassen – mit tödlichen Folgen, „Wir wollen sofort bei den Rettungsdiensten Druck machen“, sagte damals Hagen Kopp, einer der Gründer:innen des Alarm Phones. „Viele Opfer wären vermeidbar, wenn die Küstenwachen nicht immer wieder untätig bleiben würden.“

So guess who wrote a convoluted date comparison conditional instead of using `Temporal.ZonedDateTime.compare()` like an intelligent human being and ended up hitting an edge case where future scheduled calls started getting cleaned off the database instead of past ones?
I’ll give you a hint: has two thumbs and his name is Aral 🤦♂️
Anyway, just restored things from yesterday’s backup and sent a direct message to everyone scheduled for a Gaza Verified video verification call apologising for the confusion and explaining what happened.
Moral of the story: stick to the Temporal API and use its methods if you’re implementing anything even remotely non-trivial involving dates, especially if there are timezones involved. (You can use a Temporal API polyfill in Node.js – I’ve been using temporal-polyfill.)
Now I’m going to expire for the evening.

"On Thursday, Jan 22 a group of about a dozen Vermont community elders entered the atrium of White Cap Office Park in Williston VT, home of ICE’s National Criminal Analysis and Targeting Center.
For the next 3.5 hours, they sat together in silence, pausing every 90 seconds to read the name of someone killed in ICE custody, followed by a loud whistle blast.
Around 3:15 the Williston Police announced they had determined that the protestors were not breaking the law."

The US is reportedly weighing precision strikes on “high-value” Iranian officials and commanders it holds responsible for the deaths of protesters, a Gulf official told Middle East Eye. The strikes could occur as early as this week, though that timeline remains uncertain. Discussions within the administration have been described as “chaotic,” with debate over potential Iranian retaliation. - The Cradle
1/3
The Trump administration has considered military action for several weeks, after initially urging rioters to “take over” state institutions. President Donald Trump later stepped back, saying the “killing has stopped,” following lobbying from Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman.
2/3
Former officials and analysts told Middle East Eye the comments likely indicate only a temporary pause. Trump has followed similar escalation patterns before, including in Venezuela, where his initial moves eventually led to a deadly attack resulting in President Nicolás Maduro’s abduction and detention in the US. A former US intelligence official said the administration’s discussions suggest Trump has not abandoned efforts to push for regime change in Tehran.

Wenn man "Jugendschutz" im Internet durchsetzen will, dann muß man auf einmal ganz zufallig Identifikation und Altersnachweis für einfach alles haben.
Im Artikeltitel steht "VPN", aber im Text wird klar, daß damit noch lange nicht das Ende der Fahnenstange erreicht ist.
Das eigentliche Ziel ist, wie immer, die vollständige Erfassung aller Benutzeridentitäten bei allen Online-Aktivitaten zu jeder Zeit. Der Jugendschutz ist nur das Label zur Legitimation.
Immer daran denken: Wer vor 30 Jahren, als das Web aufkam, 15 war, der ist jetzt 45. "Jugendschutz" im Internet ist nicht notwendig, wenn die Eltern ihren Kindern auch nur ein Minimum an Erziehung und Wertbildung angedeihen lassen. Er ist nur ein Vehikel zur Kontrolle.

Speculation intensified after senior state figures reportedly scrubbed social media accounts amid claims of deeper political involvement.
Whether those links hold or not, the operation succeeded in its primary aim: breaking trust, disrupting coordination, and forcing networks into retreat.
This was grass roots informational warfare carried out in real time, and it worked.
We now know how modern protest movements can be dismantled without firing a shot.
Portuguese uses two different verbs for the copula "to be", ser and estar. ser is used for relatively permanent traits like "I am a Portuguese speaker", while estar is used for temporary traits like "I am sleepy right now".
however "to be dead" uses temporary "estar" and not permanent "ser". that's because Portuguese speakers are necromancers

in reply to [object Object] • • •Hmm... I'm gonna be honest here. I like the "Doing for AI what we did for the web" title.
I mean, Mozilla was so inept that it surrendered the Web to Google and Chrome, and contributed to destroying it. Now if they do the same with AI, and contribute to destroying it, now that's a goal I could stand behind.
Unfortunately, that is unlikely what they want to do, but I did not dare read further than the title yet.

"AI isn’t just another tech trend — it’s at the heart of most apps, tools and technology we use today."
Literally not a single tool I use requires it, nor would I use it if it was forced into it.
"It enables remarkable things: new ways to create and collaborate and communicate."
No, it lies and doesn't help create anything. It is by design reactive.
"But AI is also letting us down"
You got me there, Mozilla.
