L'institut allemand de sondage d'opinion Forsa déclare : 75 % des Allemands sont favorables à l’arrêt des livraisons d’armes à Israël en raison de sa guerre contre Gaza. En Europe, on s’intéresse aux sondages d’opinion et on en tient compte. L’arrêt de la fourniture d’armes européennes à Israël transforme l’armée israélienne en un tigre édenté.
I spoke to two former govt workers who helped create IRS's Direct File software, which is set to be killed by DOGE/Trump/Intuit but thankfully just got open sourced. Both of them seem optimistic about what people are going to be able to do with the codebase:
Shlomo Sand nous fait aujourd'hui l'honneur de participer au podcast. Historien, professeur à l'université de Tel Aviv, ses ouvrages font polémique depuis des décennies. A travers "Comment le peuple juif fut inventé", Sand revisite l'archéologie et les faits pour remettre en cause le mythe de l'Exil, fondement du sionisme et du retour à la terre d'Israël. Plus récemment, "Deux peuples pour un État ? Relire l’histoire du sionisme", Sand remet en cause la doxa de la politique des deux états. Il propose alors d'imaginer un Etat unitaire qui réunirait juifs et arabes sur une même terre, de la rivière à la mer, égaux en droits, et libres.
Pour qui ? Les palestiniens en ont pour des décennies de supporter les effets de ce qu'ils ont vécu. Et les chocs traumatiques quand tu ressortde l'enfer? Tu as un homme de 70 ans, seul rescapé : 30 personnes de sa famille décimées en une fois.
De l'extrême ouest à l'extrême est... d'Ankara à Tokyo, de Marrakech à Naplouse, de Jakarta au Caire... la terre tremble à répétition et à un rythme accéléré !
La punition pour « trahison » sera-t-elle un tremblement de terre majeur ? Pour que chacun puisse goûter un peu aux horreurs de Gaza, mais sans missiles ni bombardiers venus du ciel, mais depuis les profondeurs, là où Dieu lui ordonne d'avancer, pour qu'il s'élève, furieux et punitif ?!
La France s’apprête à livrer des équipements militaires à Netanyahou.
Un cargo israélien fera escale demain à Fos-sur-Mer, près de Marseille.
Il transportera secrètement 14 tonnes de pièces détachées pour fusils mitrailleurs fabriquées par la société française Eurolinks. Des pièces qui doivent être livrées à l’entreprise d’armement Israel Military Industries.
Le président @EmmanuelMacron doit s'expliquer. La France ne peut être complice du génocide en cours en Palestine.

How to edit a PDF document:
One tool that is probably already on your Linux desktop is LibreOffice Draw. It can open PDF documents, and edit them, as long as it's not an image.
If you're familiar with vector drawing programs, then Inkscape can also edit PDF documents. For more robust solutions, you have proprietary commercial solutions, including PDF Studio, Master PDF, Foxit PDF Editor, or WPS Office, but you'll have to pay for them.
How to manually sign a PDF:
Okular can actually do that. You can use the manual drawing tool to write your signature, or you can add the ability to paste an image on top of a document, but it's convoluted. You have to go to settings, toolbars shown, enable the quick annotations toolbar, then click the "configure button", click "Add", select the type "Stamp", and click the little button next to the "stamp symbol" field, to pick your own hand drawn signature that you previously saved as an image. Afterwards, you can just add that to any document in one click from that quick annotations toolbar.
You can also open the PDF document in LibreOffice Draw or the GIMP, and add your image signature this way.
How to digitally sign a PDF:
The easiest way is to use LibreOffice. Open the LibreOffice suite, click File, then digital signatures, and then "sign existing PDF", then the "sign document" button at the top. It will list all the available existing signatures and certificates you have installed on your device, and you can pick the one you want.
By default, LibreOffice will look into Mozilla Firefox's certificates list, so you'll have to put your certificate file there. To do so, open FIrefox, then the main menu, Preferences, Privacy and Security, and then "View Certificates". Then click on "authorities" and "Import", and then the "OK" button, and you're done.
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)!
A simple option is GImageReader, an open source app that will let you import a document or image, and will recognize all the text inside, in a very large variety of languages. It can take a while to do its thing, but it works reliably, and it was able to extract text from scanned PDFs and images like a PNG.
If you prefer doing these tasks from the command line, then you have Tesseract OCR, which is actually what GImageReader uses in the background.
How to annotate a PDF:
Your best option is probably Xournal++. It lets you open PDF documents, and draw all over them. You can highlight text, add hand drawn notes, shapes, type some text. It can even handle equations and graphs, and has a very customizable interface.
How to modify pages, split and merge PDF documents:
If all you need is modifying the pages in a PDF document, like reordering them, or deleting them, then you have PDF Arranger, a simple GNOME app that will run on any Linux desktop, and is available on Flathub.

La loi définit l'injure raciste comme « toute expression outrageante, terme de mépris ou invective adressé à une personne ou à un groupe à raison de leur origine ou de leur appartenance à une ethnie, une nation, une prétendue race ou une religion déterminée ».
Quand vous dites que « le vote musulman » est antisémite, vous rentrez exactement dans cette définition en outrangeant un groupe en raison de sa religion.
I'm sad to see so many posts mocking the use of #ContentWarnings. They're rarely used, but somehow people act like it's a major violation of their Freedums.
Have you had real, deep, lasts-for-years trauma? If you have, you might understand why a heads-up can be a welcome relief from the onslaught of triggers streaming from the media.
Flashbacks are not something you should wish on anyone, even if you Haven't had trauma yourself. Content Warnings help prevent them, period. Don't be a jag.
@VaylLarkinPoet@disabled.social But there's real societal value in learning to cope with one's triggers. I am triggered by things every day both on the fediverse and in real life and it is a valuable life skill to learn how to cope. I can't go around to people around me and ask them to change their behavior simply because I find something they do triggering. We have no choice over what happens to us in life sometimes.But we have the choice in how we choose to respond. I'm a firm believer in that. That being said, if I know that something I'm doing bothers somebody I'm not going to be a dick and continue to do it if I don't need to.

Etwa ein Viertel des Bundestags besteht aus einer rechtsextremen Partei, die die Demokratie abschaffen will und gegen einen völkischen Faschismus ersetzen möchte. Aber sie tragen Anzug!
Was dagegen gar nicht geht? Eine Frau die den Schriftzug mit dem Namen eines Landes auf dem TShirt trägt, dessen Volk gerade Opfer eines Genozids wird.
>>Bundestagspräsidentin Klöckner hat die Linken-Abgeordnete Köktürk wegen eines "Palestine"-Shirts aus dem Plenarsaal verwiesen.<< tagesschau.de/inland/bundestag…
Bundestagspräsidentin Klöckner hat die Linken-Abgeordnete Köktürk wegen eines "Palestine"-Shirts aus dem Plenarsaal verwiesen. Auch eine Besucherin musste gehen.
Hätte sie stattdessen kein Tshirt mit dem Namen eines Landes angehabt, das gerade einen Genozid erlebt und stattdessen die Abschaffung der Demokratie und des Rechtsstaats gefordert, oder die Unterstützung eines Genozids - ja dann, dann hätte es keine Konsequenzen gegeben.
>>Wadephul im Plenarsaal: Deutschland wird weiterhin an Israel Waffen liefern. Kein Wort zu über 50.000 Toten und verletzten Kindern. Ich werde von Frau Klöckner aufgefordert den Plenarsaal zu verlassen, weil auf meinem Shirt „Palestine“ steht. Ihr habt alle dermaßen versagt.<< Cansin Köktürk
Was im Bundestag nicht geht: Den Aufdruck des Landes, dass gerade Opfer eines Genozids wird auf dem TShirt haben, weil das eine politische Botschaft sei.
Was im Bundestag geht: Politische Botschaften als Symbol an der Kleidung tragen und flammende Appelle dafür halten, weiter Waffen für einen Genozid zu liefern. Hochrangige Vertreter des Landes im Bundestag willkommen heißen, die gerade einen Genozid durchführen.
>>Weil Cansin Köktürk ein "Palestine"-T-Shirt im Bundestag trug, verwies die Bundestagspräsidentin die Abgeordnete des Plenarsaals. Von der Hausordnung dürfte das gedeckt sein – doch bindet Klöckner sich mit diesen Maßstäben selbst.<< lto.de/recht/hintergruende/h/b…
Wegen eines T-Shirts warf Bundestagspräsidentin Klöckner eine Linken-Abgeordnete aus dem Saal. Die Hausordnung erlaubt das – aber auch für Israel-Symbole.
Ein T-Shirt mit der Aufschrift Palestine kann ein politisches Statement sein, muss aber nicht. Wenns denn als Statement empfunden wird, dann nur weil mit unterschiedlichen Maßstäben gemessen wird. Wenn man sich zum Beispiel für eine Zweistaatenlösung einsetzt und zum Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Völker steht, wäre aus meiner sicht recht unproblematisch ein T-Shirt zu tragen auf dem ein Land steht, was es wie andere eben auch gibt.
Frau Klöckner hat sich aber anders entschieden - und die Hausordnung so ausgelegt, dass die Aufschrift "Palestine" nicht zulässig ist, weil politische Symbole verboten seien.
Nur - so führt der Artikel der LTO aus - muss dann diese Regel für alle derartigen Symbole gelten: Genauso auch für Anstecker, mit ukrainischer Flagge, mit israelischer Flagge, oder auch die gelben Schleifen usw. usw.
Wenn man das nicht will - ja dann müsste auch ein Shirt mit der Aufschrift Palestine kein Problem sein.
Die blaue Kornblume , als NSDAP-Symbol, getragen vom AfD-Abgeordneten zur konsitituierenden Sitzung wurde vom Präsidium übrigens auch nicht beanstandet.
>>Die Grenzen des Tragbaren. Mitglieder des Bundestages nutzen nicht selten ihre Kleider, um Aufmerksamkeit auf ein Thema zu lenken. Doch als Cansin Kökturk sie nutzte, um Solidarität mit den Menschen in Palästina auszudrücken, ging das dem Haus wohl zu weit<<
Mitglieder des Bundestages nutzen nicht selten ihre Kleider, um Aufmerksamkeit auf ein Thema zu lenken. Doch als Cansin Kökturk sie nutzte, um Solidarität mit den Menschen in Palästina auszudrücken, ging das dem Haus wohl zu weit.
Man muss ja auch nicht jeder Provokation eine Bühne geben. Die AfD geilt sich an diesen Beanstandungen ja meistens auf. Fände es besser, wenn sowas "im Stillen" einfach angezeigt, verfolgt, und dann auch entsprechend bestraft wird. Zumindest bei solchen dingen, die noch nicht einmal die eigenen Anhänger mitbekommen. Bin mir relativ sicher, dass maximal eine Handvoll Menschen von "Mitte bis rechts außen" das mitbekommen haben, also wenn man die Politiker selbst abzieht...
Habe noch nicht einen Sympathisanten gesehen, der auch nur eine einzige Rede eines AfD Politikers im Bundestag vollständig und ungeschnitten aufmerksam verfolgt hat.
Maximal haben die Ausschnitte aus dem Fernsehen, Facebook, X, oder TikTok gesehen. Und wenn man sich die dann zeigen lässt, kann man teils sehr schnell sehr gut nachvollziehen wie die ein komplett anderes Bild von der Partei bekommen.
@agowa338 Das hätte allerdings dann auch für die anderen gelten müssen, die wegen ihrer T-Shirts von #Klöckner aus dem #Bundestag geworfen wurden. Nur weil die der #noafd immer rumopfern, kann man denen nicht alles durchgehen lassen. Das genau wollen die nämlich.
Nun das Tragen von Symbolen hat ja immer die Aufgabe zu symbolisieren, etwas auszudrücken und manchmal auch zu provozieren. Rechte wissen meistens sehr gut, wie sie durch gewisse Symbole (Bildlich, Sprachlich usw.) bestimmte Dinge ausdrücken zu wollen um zu provozieren. Hinterher zu bestrafen - vor allem wenn es sich um verfassunsgfeindliche Symbole handelt - mag eine Option sein. Der Politiker der sich mit Symbol ablichten lässt, und das ungestört hilft Rechten allerdings auch.
"Outfits in den ukrainischen Nationalfarben müsste Klöckner also künftig ebenso aus dem Plenarsaal verbannen wie Israel-solidarische Symbole. Das könnte dann auch Volker Beck – als Gast oder Zuschauer – treffen. Er hatte in der Vergangenheit schon mit Anstecknadel aus einer deutschen und einer israelischen Flagge im Bundestag als Abgeordneter gesprochen.
Greift Klöckner, die wie Beck auch Mitglied in der DIG ist, in solchen Fällen nicht durch, handelt sie nicht mehr überparteilich. Anstecknadeln oder dergleichen sind allerdings schwerer zu erkennen als Pullis oder Shirts mit Großbuchstaben. Deshalb kam der AfD-Abgeordnete Torben Braga – ebenfalls bei der konstituierenden Sitzung – ohne Sanktion davon; er hatte eine blaue Kornblume am Revers getragen – ein Symbol der NSDAP."
Es lohnt sich nicht, sich an Klöcknerinnen abzuarbeiten. Abschaffen den ganzen Dreck, daran müssen wir arbeiten.
wenn alle entsprechend mutig wären, wären bei der nächsten Sitzung all Abgeordneten der nicht rechtsextremen Oppositionsparteien mit dem gleichen T-shirt im Plenarsaal

ChatGPT's postfactual responses are creeping me out because they mirror what's happening to political discourse. In the same way that ChatGPT isn't lying, the hard-right isn't lying either. They simply have no concept of truth because their worldview is hermetic. They constantly make leaps of faith based on cues and "training data".
In my lay understanding, an AI's performance dramatically deteriorates when it is trained on its own output ("model collapse"). To the extent that the web gets flooded with AI slop, genAI is "poisoning the well". There's an eerie parallel here with Steve Bannon's hard-right maxim of "flooding the zone with shit". The point of this discursive strategy is to undermine the basis for reasonable debate, so all statements seem equally (im-)plausible and the audience becomes more responsive to cues.

🧵Gjovik v Apple update: I filed a Motion for Reconsideration in 9th Circuit today. The court dismissed my appeal claiming "no jurisdiction" while ignoring 28 USC §1292(a)(1) - which gives mandatory jurisdiction over injunctive relief denials (my Gobbler claims!). It's not discretionary.
But here's the kicker: While I was fighting this procedural maze, Congress was busy criminalizing Apple's exact conduct through the TAKE IT DOWN Act & AI Whistleblower Protection Act. 📊⚖️ ashleygjovik.com/blog/fighting…
The district court's plays were: ✅ Strike my legal arguments without reading them ✅ Dismiss claim for not addressing the struck arguments ✅ Deny motion to fix problems they identified ✅ Claim I waived arguments they refused to consider
That's not case mgmt!
9th Circuit now gets to decide: follow federal law requiring review of injunctive relief denials or continue enabling procedural traps that silence AI whistleblowers on matters Congress deems nationally critical & I file a new RICO suit.
Note: the Court dismissed my RICO claims without prejudice, but suggested I don't replead them, so I didn't at first, but then changed my mind, and then the Court denied my Motion to Amend. The Ninth Circuit has denied my request for Appeal twice. So, next I would refile RICO in the First Circuit.
I'm a fan of naturally aspirated V8's but this guy is interesting. His cars are way out of my price range - not that I would buy one if I had that kind of cash...

Wenn deutsche Politiker jetzt auf einmal beginnen, Israels Vorgehen in Gaza zu kritisieren, dann nur, um zu kaschieren, wie sehr sie und die gesamte Erinnerungskultur versagt haben. Doch Deutschlands Mitschuld ist unauslöschlich.

So, I decided to install Linux on that thing. Since Fedora 41was just released, I decided to go for that, with the beta to be precise, it wasn't officially out when I started making this video.
I decided to just apply the basic updates to the distro, and not even look at firmware updates first, just to see if everything worked properly, and I wasn't disappointed. Wifi and bluetooth work fine, the keyboard backlight is supported, the touchpad is able to perform these smooth GNOME gestures, the keyboard works perfectly, suspend and resume as well, there's nothing to add or configure, which is nice., and it's really not always the case with laptops primarily meant to work with Windows.
This is all on Fedora 41, with the linux kernel 6.11, so not even the very latest. The camera, mic, and speakers also perform well, although as always, the mic's default volume is wayyy to high for a laptop mic and needs to be lowered by about half. Even the fingerprint reader located in the power button works perfectly, although registering a fingerprint is finicky. It even works from the terminal, which is cool. Hot swapping the ports fro the laptop's body also works fine, everything is just fully functional.
As per the CPU itself, it's a Ryzen 7 7840U, so not the very latest and greatest from AMD, but it's a very competent CPU nonetheless, with 8 cores and 16 threads. On Geekbench 6, it got 2570 in single core, and 11270 in multi core.
As per battery life, the framework 13 isn't a big champion, it only has a 61 Wh battery with aht specific AMD CPU. For me, resulted in about 8h of looped video playback on youtube, with hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox, over wifi, at mid brightness, on power saver mode, with a 2880x1920 display running at 120hz, with 150% fractional scaling.
As per the actual laptop's hardware, it's great. The build quality is good, and absolute proof that you don't need to sacrifice repairability and maintenance options to get a well built device. It doesn't really flex much apart from the middle of the keyboard, and it feels very rigid and solid, despite that fact that various plates can be unscrewed and removed.
Aesthetically, there is not much of a tradeoff ether, apart from the ports which look weirdly far apart from one another because, well, they have to to make this module thing work, but it's honestly not a big deal, it looks fine, and at least you don't bump multiple peripherals into one another, and you don't block ports, with a big USB drive.
The plastic bezel is fine as well, the branding is very minimal, it all looks good. I enjoyedn the screen, it's bright, colors are good and it has an anti glare coating. It goes up to 500 nits, and covers 100% of sRGB. it's also 3:2, which i like as an aspect ratio. It can go up to 120hz as well,but that's only for the 2880x1920 display I got i my review unit.
The keyboard and touchpad are great as well, among the best laptop keyboards I've used. Keys are stable, correctly sized, and have good travel, they feel really nice to type on. The touchpad is smooth glass, it works perfectly for touchpad gestures, and it'ws precise not fiddly at all. It's also centered, which is good.
Other nice things include the mic and camera privacy switches that will stop them from being used electrically.
As per the cost, it's more expensive. With everything I got in the box, the review unit costs 1748 euros, with the 20% VAT included. But, with the framework laptop, you are almost guaranteed to get just a new motherboard when you need it, and you don't need to buy an entire new laptop every 5 years, which might save some money in the long term.

Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process.
The task of selecting a company secretary can be daunting, especially with the vast array of secretarial service providers available. Whether you're a startup founder or managing an established enterprise, choosing the right secretarial services provider is essential for your business's efficiency and compliance. This guide will help you navigate the process by breaking down the key factors to consider when comparing secretarial service providers.
Understanding Your Business Needs
Evaluate Your Requirements
Before you start comparing providers, it's crucial to understand what your business truly needs. Are you looking for basic administrative support, or do you require comprehensive services that include compliance management, board meeting coordination, and document filing? Identifying your specific needs will help you filter out providers that don't align with your requirements.
Plan for Future Growth
Consider the future. As your business grows, your secretarial needs will evolve. Choose a company secretary that can scale with you, offering services that will continue to support your operations as you expand.
Expertise and Experience
Industry-Specific Knowledge
A seasoned company secretary with experience in your industry can offer invaluable insights and tailored support. For instance, a tech startup might require different compliance assistance compared to a manufacturing company. Look for providers who understand the nuances of your sector.
Check Their Track Record
Don't just take their word for it—check their track record. Ask for case studies or client testimonials to gauge their reliability and effectiveness. Have they successfully managed secretarial duties for businesses similar to yours? Their history can be a strong indicator of their capability.
Range of Services
Comprehensive Service Offerings
Not all secretarial services are created equal. Some providers offer a broad spectrum of services, while others specialize in specific areas. Ensure the provider you choose can handle all aspects you might need, such as compliance management, board support, and document management.
Customizable Packages
Every business is unique. Look for a provider that offers customizable packages, allowing you to pick and choose services that fit your specific needs without paying for unnecessary extras.
Technology and Tools
Leveraging Modern Solutions
In today's digital age, leveraging technology can significantly enhance the efficiency of secretarial services. Providers who utilize advanced software for document management, communication, and compliance tracking can offer a more streamlined and effective service.
Robust Security Measures
Sensitive business information needs to be protected. Ensure that your chosen company secretary employs robust security measures to safeguard your data. Ask about their data protection policies and the technology they use to prevent breaches.
Cost and Value
Transparent Pricing Structures
Cost is always a consideration, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Look for providers that offer transparent pricing structures without hidden fees. Clear understanding of costs helps you budget effectively and avoids unpleasant surprises down the line.
Value for Your Investment
Cheapest isn't always better. Evaluate the value you're getting for the price. A slightly higher cost might be justified if the provider offers superior services, better expertise, or more comprehensive support.
Communication and Support
Prompt Responsiveness
Effective communication is key to a successful partnership. Assess how responsive the secretarial services provider is during your initial interactions. Do they answer your queries promptly and clearly? This responsiveness often reflects the level of support you can expect once you're onboard.
Dedicated Support Contact
Having a dedicated point of contact can make a significant difference. It ensures you have someone familiar with your business who can address your needs promptly and efficiently.
Compliance and Reliability
In-Depth Regulatory Knowledge
A reliable company secretary should have a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape relevant to your business. They should not only ensure compliance but also keep you informed about any changes that might affect your operations.
Consistent Reliability
Dependability is non-negotiable. You need a provider you can trust to handle critical tasks without constant oversight. Look for signs of reliability, such as consistent service delivery and positive feedback from other clients.
Cultural Fit
Alignment with Company Values
Your secretarial services provider should align with your company’s culture and values. This alignment fosters a smoother working relationship and ensures that the provider understands and respects your business ethos.
High-Level Professionalism
Professionalism in handling your affairs is essential. The provider should exhibit a high level of professionalism in their interactions, ensuring that your business is represented appropriately in all matters.
Making the Decision
Create a Shortlist
After evaluating providers based on the factors above, create a shortlist of potential candidates. Compare them side-by-side to see which one ticks the most boxes for your business needs.
Ask Detailed Questions
Don't hesitate to ask detailed questions during consultations. Inquire about their processes, experience, and how they handle specific scenarios related to your business. Their responses can provide deeper insights into their suitability.
Consider a Trial Period
If possible, opt for a trial period to assess the provider’s services in real-time. This hands-on experience can help you make a more informed decision before committing long-term.
Conclusion: Make an Informed Choice for Seamless Operations
Choosing the right company secretary is crucial for your business's efficiency and compliance. By breaking down the process into key factors, you can simplify the decision-making process. From assessing your needs and evaluating expertise to ensuring technological proficiency and cultural fit, each step brings you closer to finding the perfect company secretary for your business.

In 2024 in Western countries sales of electric vehicles fell for the first time. The Jewish media claims that drop is a passing blip, but the truth is that with the rapid growth of the alternative media, people are finding out that they had been duped about man-made climate change. The masses are finding out that carbon dioxide (CO2) only accounts for the diminutive amount of 0.04% of the atmosphere and methane, which is supposed to be the second worst heat-trapping gas, accounts for the infinitesimal amount of 0.0002% of the atmosphere. CO2 is so insignificant and irrelevant, that it has to be measured out of every one million molecules in the air and methane is even more minuscule and so tiny, that it has to be measured out of every one billion molecules in the air. How can something so diminutive and insignificant be changing the world climate? The reality is that it is not. People are also finding out other truths about biology, atmospheric physics, botany and related fields, which show that if carbon dioxide falls below 150 parts per million (ppm), all plants die because carbon dioxide is fundamental for the survival of plants and actually food for plants. If plants die, everything else dies. CO2 is essential for life and it is only because the Jewish media had a monopoly on information up to 2019, that it managed to dupe a huge share of the world population with the narrative that carbon dioxide is bad. During the last Ice Age, called the Last Glacial Maximum, some 20,000 years ago, CO2 levels fell to just 180 ppm and life almost disappeared. The mega fauna like mammoths and saber tooth tigers died off and the human population shrunk massively. In 2020, CO2 was at about 430 ppm. The billion long geological and atmospheric history of the world shows that the higher the CO2 in the atmosphere, the better it is for plants, animals and humans. In fact, the higher the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the faster plants grow, which is the reason why many farmers buy expensive carbon dioxide producing machines that are placed inside greenhouses to accelerate the growth of vegetables, flowers or other plants The evidence suggests that as the share of the world population, but more so, as the share in Western countries that is aware of the biological and atmospheric truth grows, the sale of EVs will fall because a huge share of the people who in past years bought EVs, did it because they bought the lies of the Jewish media which said that by driving an EV, people were contributing to save the world from a colossal climatic catastrophe. It was all a lie and once people become aware of that lie, the justification and motivation for buying an EV, which are inferior vehicles in many aspects relative to a combustion engine automobile, disappear

My employer, after 7 months of work, fired me overnight. Because I would be too "finicky" about code quality and security risks, which would better suit "a bank or cybersecurity company".
Please share, and ask around you if someone would know someone who would know someone, as I have been put in an absolutely shitty situation because of the layoff and I don't really have a network of people I could ask where I live right now
in Bulgaria there is a probation period (6mo max) after which boss can't just fire you overnight with no reason and from what I read you caring about quality(even if you overengineer stuff), I guess you have similar laws there so it's all so strange.... Anyways good luck..
WTF! So your former employer would rather pay a huge bill to a cyber security company afterwards for a report that contains "I told you so" in more words? (shared)

Saw this because of a boost. I'm so very sorry. That's some very... American-style nonsense. But if that's how they're going to treat you, it's probably best that you're not with them now. I wish you the best of luck!

@tomidar teknisk mulig ta med seg en laptop fra butikken uten å gå via kassa først, men de fleste unngår det.
Viktig at regulering treffer formålet sitt, og ikke alt for mye annet, men det funker.
Og dette er samfunnsmessige problemer, ikke personlige, så personlige løsninger er ikke gode nok. Det blir litt som å si at de som ønsker å stoppe global oppvarming kan velge å ta bussen siden det ikke er noen som tvinger dem til å kjøre.
joda, sporing er et samfunnsproblem. Eller et samfunns gode... Spørsmålet er hvordan det brukes. All informasjon kan misbrukes. I visse tilfeller er det en fin ting at det er sporing på folk.
Eneste måten å unngå å gi ut informasjon er personlig. Samfunnet kan ikke stoppe det. Du må ta aktive valg selv for å hindre sporing av deg. Eller hva som skal ha sporing.
Du kan forby det med lov, men så lager de en avtale som du må si ja på, da er det godkjent 😃
@tomidar dette var virkeligheten før GDPR kom, som satte en del begrensninger for hva man kan gjøre med brukerdata. Holder ikke lenger med skjulte vilkår som selger sjela di 😛
Men jeg tenker GDPR er første steget på en lang vei. Det er ikke perfekt, men det funker. Det setter verdi på personvern og det disse tjenestene tar fra oss.
Jeg mener det neste steget er adferdssporing og målrettet markedsføring, som er et rotterace med mer og mer inngripende sporing for mindre og mindre avkastning.

Je vous le conseille pour l'analyse précise et accessible tout autant que pour les notes de bas de page qui en font un 2e ouvrage riche de très nombreuses sources à lire et pour des principes à défendre comme :
On pourrait imaginer une règle simple : pas de calcul sans accès. Pas de calcul du social sans accès social à ce calcul.

Anlässlich des bevorstehenden Besuchs des israelischen Außenministers Gideon Sa’ar rufen wir zusammen mit verschiedenen humanitären und Menschenrechtsorganisationen sowie politischen Gruppen zu einer Protestaktion vor dem Auswärtigen Amt auf. Unter dem Titel „Rote Linie: Völkerrecht“ setzen wir ein klares Zeichen gegen die anhaltenden Völkerrechtsbrüche durch die israelische Regierung und die deutsche Unterstützung durch Rüstungsexporte, politische Rückendeckung und diplomatische Doppelstandards
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit explained that the Dept. of Education “exists as a slush fund for the teachers unions … and a laboratory for social experimentation on our kids.”
An explosive exchange erupted on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon, which ended with arguably the body’s biggest narcissist getting humiliated by perhaps the smartest one after one simple question and an epic reply.

On 31 May 2025, the European Space Agency (ESA) made history by transmitting a live performance of The Blue Danube Waltz into space from its Cebreros deep space antenna in Spain. This symbolic gesture elevated Johann Strauss II’s famous waltz, often considered the unofficial ‘anthem of space’, to its rightful place among the stars.
Global politics don't feel particularly cooperative at the moment, but which countries could actually feed themselves independently if all international food trade shut down? Just one, according to a new study.
"No matter how disastrously some policy has turned out, anyone who criticizes it can expect to hear: 'But what would you replace it with?' When you put out a fire, what do you replace it with?"

I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.
That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.

“We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world--no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.”

Wilson is a hypocrite because he condemned elite control of government, yet created Federal Reserve, introduced the income tax, backed League of Nations, & enforced Espionage & Sedition Acts—all of which concentrated power in hands of unelected elites & crushed dissent; either he was a fool who was duped, or a self-righteous idealist who thought he knew best & was disastrously wrong.
Wilson came directly from the world of academia—only U.S. president to hold a Ph.D.!
