European thinkers and policy makers are acting and talking as if the US federal government and courts are still "normal", or will soon be so again. They will not, and we should update our world view. Secondly, when we discuss data retention, we often do not specify that this could be a 24/7 location database of all EU phones and cars. If that is the goal, everyone should be super clear about that: berthub.eu/articles/posts/hell…

Free software for non-developers


LibrePlanet 2023 videos

Presented by: James Gregora

James Gregora is a 3rd year law student at Rutgers with an interest in intellectual property and criminal justice issues. He has a B.A. in Philosophy from Swarthmore College, and an M.A. in Philosophy from Brandeis University.

Description:

The four freedoms encompass the rights to use, modify, copy, and redistribute modified copies. Yet most software users have no intention of ever modifying software, let alone redistributing modified copies of their software. So why should these freedoms be of any concern to them? Over the past three decades, the number of users has increased by several orders of magnitude. Proprietary software has become the predominant form of software, to the extent that many ordinary users are surprised when they learn that a particular piece of software is free rather than proprietary. While this is a significant negative development, the widespread adoption of software by less technically oriented people presents a unique opportunity: it means that nearly everyone in the developed world has a personal stake in the future of software freedom.

This talk elaborates on the personal stake that ordinary users have in the future of free software, and how the movement can express the importance of its ideas to those who are not particularly technically inclined. The presentation focuses on the underlying ethical questions posed by the widespread use of nonfree software, and will propose various ways to communicate these concerns in layman's terms.

If "dynamic pricing" is so wrong, then what about "dynamic fairness"—where what's "fair" depends on who's getting the short end of the stick?

Ukraine is running out of men, money and time

Shrinking Western support, collapsing morale and deep demographic decline are pushing Ukraine towards a critical point. The government’s only chance is a complete reorganisation of its political and military system.

The reason the market as a whole is comfortable calling AI a bubble, even the ones investing in it, is that they are 100% confident that us regular people will be the ones left holding the bag. We trained the market to expect this through multiple bailouts.

This is why you cannot coddle the economy. You build resilience by causing (smaller) market failure, not by shielding the market from making mistakes.

@ndaktuell Einen Artikel zu (angeblichem) Antisemitismus mit Bildern von Menschen zu illustrieren, die gerade nichts weiter machen als Kufiyas zu tragen, ist wirklich übelster Rassimus. Dass die menschenverachtenden Rassisten von BAG Shalom schon die Existenz und Identität von Palästinenser*innen als “Antisemitismus" zu diffamieren versuchen, ist ja gerade der Grund, warum sie sich in der Partei ins Abseits manövriert haben.

Ein israelischer Journalist klagt über regelmäßige #Morddrohungen, befeuert durch die israelische Regierung:

»In der israelischen Regierung hat man für solche Vorwürfe nur Spott übrig. Amichai Ben-Eliahu, der für kulturelles Erbe zuständige Minister, sagte im staatlichen Sender Kan, Peleg solle aufhören, zu jammern. Dann werde er halt drangsaliert. […]

Nicht nur, aber auch wegen dieser zunehmenden Attacken der Regierung führt "Reporter ohne Grenzen" #Israel auf seiner Rangliste der Pressefreiheit mittlerweile nur noch in der unteren Hälfte, auf dem wenig schmeichelhaften Rang 111 von 180. Noch hinter Staaten wie dem Tschad, dem Südsudan oder Haiti.«

(via @workingclasshistory): On this day, 28 November 1919, Faye Schulman, photographer and Jewish resistance partisan, was born in Lenin, Poland (now Belarus). In 1942, the Nazis murdered 1,850 Jews in the Lenin ghetto, leaving only Faye and 25 others alive, making Faye take and develop photos of the massacre. Covertly she made copies of the photographs for herself. She soon fled and joined the partisan resistance, serving as a fighter and nurse. While on a raid in Lenin with her unit, Faye managed to retrieve her camera equipment, and then began documenting the resistance movement, developing her photos under blankets. "I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof." Faye survived the war and moved to Toronto, Canada, living to the age of 101.

May her memory be blessing.
May her life be an example.

The new rules are probably that you get one extra gun for each foreign sanction list you have been added to for being an ethno-supremacist fascist piece of garbage. mastodon.neometropolis.net/@Qu…


Hard-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben‑Gvir and Army Minister Israel Katz have jointly decided to introduce a new criterion that will allow an additional 10,000 Israeli settlers to carry weapons, according to Channel 14.

Since Ben‑Gvir took office, the number of settlers holding personal gun licenses has increased by hundreds of thousands, as Ben-Gvir aims to continue expanding eligibility.

Do you subscribe to any physical print magazines? Which ones?

Any recommendations for interesting or *niche* ones?

I really love:

"Wings: Essays on Invertebrate Conservation" from the xerces society. The articles and photos are interesting and I like that it's a small format as it's perfect for reading on the train. Since it's not a "news" magazine and there are only 4 issues a year keeping it makes sense for reference. I'll grab one when I want something to read that fits in my purse.

i get the "living bird" quarterly from membership with the cornell lab of ornithology, does that count? Other membership mags from the Minnesota Genealogical Society and the Germanic GS as well. and the Arbeitsgrüppe für Ost- und Westpreußische Familienforschung.

commercial subscriptions, no. on occasion i'll pick up something craft-related at barnes & noble. does my subscription to a giant crossword & word games rag count? 🤓🤓🤓

Hallo liebe Profis, ich habe da mal eine Frage: Im access.log vom Apache sieht man ja nach der HTTP Antwort das Ziel das aufgerufen wurde. Beispiel:
"GET /ping_network?ping=1&_=1764343272083 HTTP/1.1" 200 889 "https://anonsys.net/community" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:145.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/145.0"
Hier wurde also "https://anonsys.net/community" aufgerufen und die Anfrage wurde mit einem HTTP 200 beantwortet. Also alles gut.

Was ist aber bei folgender Anfrage das Ziel?
"GET /network HTTP/1.1" 504 872 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:145.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/145.0"
Klar, der Aufruf ist mit einem 504er fehlgeschlagen. Aber was ist "-" für ein Ziel?

Weiß das jemand?
