@HiroProtagonist there's so much corruption and incompetence in government, more government spending = more centralization, corruption, bureaucracy, and regulations- covid clearly demonstrated this inverse relationship between spending and quality of care. look at all the tax money they spent on covid vaccines and murdering people in hospitals. similarly, more military spending doesn't necessarily provide better security. the more money they have the more they feel a need to waste it

i would rather have government spend zero on health care tbh. charity should be voluntary.

US military strikes on the Ras Issa Port in Hodeidah, Yemen, on April 17, caused dozens of civilian casualties and significant damage to port infrastructure. The port is a critical entry point for aid in #Yemen and hundreds of workers were present.

The attack showed a callous disregard for civilians’ lives and should be investigated as a war crime.

Welcome to a new privacy-first initiative challenging the digital identity status quo, urging a sharp turn away from the surveillance-ready infrastructure embedded in mobile driver’s licenses.

The campaign, called No Phone Home, brings together a broad alliance of civil liberties groups, privacy experts, technologists, lawmakers, and public officials who are resisting the ways digital IDs compromise people’s rights.

What’s fueling the campaign is concern over how mobile driver’s licenses, increasingly adopted in the US and abroad, are built atop a technical framework that allows them to silently transmit data back to issuing authorities. While this function may not be active by default, it exists; and that, privacy advocates argue, is a serious vulnerability.

Even if unused, if the architecture allows for data to be sent back to government servers, it eventually will be the campaign’s statement warns.

@dwaem Ale to trzeba robić z głową, a nie wersjonować PDFy xDDD Git może i by się jeszcze nadał, ale GitHub i podobne byłyby do tego absolutnie bezużyteczne.

Podstawowa wartość takiego VCSa wynikałaby z wykorzystywania go przez parlament. Dzisiaj aby jako obywatel ogarnąć, nad czym właściwie toczy się głosowanie, musisz włożyć olbrzymi wysiłek w rozwiązywanie referencji w projektach i poprawkach - albo zapłacić za komercyjne opracowanie. To sztuczna bariera informacyjna.

in reply to Sebastian Krzyszkowiak

@dwaem To tak żeby uściślić - marzyłby mi się publiczny system pozwalający wygenerować tekst ujednolicony (nienormatywny) na każdym etapie procesu legislacyjnego, włącznie z propozycjami poprawek w Sejmie i Senacie, a także wyświetlający czytelnie różnice między takimi tekstami i rozwiązujący referencje.

Większa tego część jest już dostępna na rynku komercyjnie - a powinna być publiczna, zintegrowana z systemami informacyjnymi Sejmu, Senatu i RPLem.

in reply to Sebastian Krzyszkowiak

@dos Otworzyłem akurat losowo github.com/ProjektyUstaw/Ustaw… i tam jest Markdown.

Oczywiście, że ma się nijak do naszego procesu legislacyjnego, ale w teorii można byłoby na bazie zwykłego repo w git stworzyć taki system. Wtedy marszałek by mówił "głosujemy teraz nad PR #123" - "X głosów za, Y przeciw, PR zmergeowany" 😁

@dwaem @mateusz @razem

in reply to Łukasz

@hlukasz @dwaem No i to jest właśnie chłopskorozumowa droga donikąd, bo teksty prawne funkcjonują na zasadach które nie mapują się zbyt dobrze na gitowy koncept merge'a.

Pewnie jakby się uprzeć to dałoby się zbudować sensowny system z gitem pod spodem, ale raczej wątpię by była to najlepsza opcja. Natomiast GitHub/GitLab/Codeberg etc. i koncepty takie jak PR/MR będą tu kompletnie bezużyteczne.

Military Activity Along I-90 Westbound Towards i-405 Southbound 6pm June 4th 2025


Was curious if anybody knows what the military convoy along I-90 westbound past Bellevue towards I-405 Southbound? Lots of weird armored vehicles that had four large tires on each side instead of tracks, also asphalt paving equipment. Made it impossible to get from Bellevue to I-5 because they wouldn't let me in to get to the other side of the freeway.

Kirn kommentiert ironisch: „Wir bringen jemanden dazu, George Orwell wegen Gedankenverbrechen zu verurteilen, und zwar in dem Buch, das er über Gedankenverbrechen geschrieben hat.“ Er schloss seinen Beitrag mit den Worten: „Also, danke für Ihre Warnung vor ‚1984‘. Es ist das verdammt ‚1984‘-mäßigste, was ich je gelesen habe.“

Do they? I am sorry but I do not believe that and I feel that this child has been abused by those that have used her to push their propaganda. She is simply a tool. She is spouting dumb rhetoric that I grew tired of 30 years ago although then it was the Amazon rather than the car etc. but it was the same tactics and comments "If you do not do as I say the world will end in 5 years". The world did not end. Have you bought an electric car yet? Do you actually believe you will save the world in doing so? They produce more CO2 in their lifespan than an ICE car but that is not their point, they are throw away and they get the public to finally stop cutting down on pollution by buying things that last and buy cars that you throw away after 8 years. If people buy a new car every 8 years rather than every 30 profits soar. The ultimate in pollution. The world is much cleaner today than it was 30 years ago but that has nothing to do with people like her. It is because of normal people who do not shout at you. The earth will continue to get cleaner if we continue as we have but those abusing her want us to spend more to make them richer and stop caring about the planet. We can buy an electric car and believe we are saving the planet even though we are in fact increasing the pollution by 400%.

Heute meldet die Tagesschau die RIAS Zahlen und titelt:
>>Zahl antisemitischer Vorfälle erneut stark gestiegen<<
tagesschau.de/inland/gesellsch…

Leider tut RIAS alles dafür um so intransparent wie möglich zu sein, packt alles mögliche in ihre Begrifflichkeiten rein und zählt das selbe Ereignis mehrfach (zb mehrere Anzeigen von den selben oder gleichen Sticker).
So gut das Ansinnen mit RIAS auch war, die Zahlen als Fakten gemeldet, sind reichlich wertlos.

In der oben verlinkten Studie kann man zahlreiche Beispiele nachlesen, aus den deutlich wird, welche Probleme deren Begrifflichkeiten haben, welche Schlagseite deren Arbeit hat, wie systematisch historische Fakten verzerrt werden, und internationales Recht geleugnet wird um zur gewünschten Interpretation zu bekommen.
Die fehlende Systematik, was, wann und wie gezählt wird macht die Zahlen reichlich unklar, und kaum nachprüfbar.

Drôle de nouvelle... C'est Netanyahou !

Le bureau du procureur général israélien a déclaré que Netanyahu avait utilisé la phrase « Je ne me souviens pas » au moins 1 788 fois lors de son interrogatoire dans les affaires pour lesquelles il est jugé.

C'est celui qui rêve de répéter le modèle « Churchill » et qui s'extasie sur la « victoire absolue », et derrière lui se trouvent Ben-Gvir et Smotrich !

C'est une malédiction sur leur « entité » !

Deutsche Medien schreiben hunderte an Schlagzeilen für die 5 LKW Lieferungen von Hilfsgütern nach Gaza (über 500 wären pro Tag notwendig), währenddessen Netanjahu sagt das sie diese nur zulassen weil sie sonst die internationale Unterstützung für ihre Kriegshandlungen verlieren.

Wieso fällt man auf diesen Trick rein, wenn er so blatant offengelegt wurde?

Israel versucht momentan überall Zeit zu schinden, damit sie ihre Mission, Palästina palästinenserfrei zu kriegen, vollenden können, bevor ihnen einer auf die Füsse tritt oder dem Massenmord endlich Einhalt gebietet.
Weiss nicht, aber langsam wären Waffenlieferungen an die Palästinenser, die Unterdrückten, notwendig. Existenznotwendig.
In der Ukraine machen wir das schon seit 3 Jahren, in Palästina schauen wir nur zu und fragen uns, was Israel als nächstes als antisemitisch bezeichnet.

My doctor’s office just asked me if I consented to an AI scribe taking session notes. (Obviously I said absolutely not and over my dead body).

I am physically incapable of minding my own business so I asked for details. They confirmed that means the rooms are capable of recording now, but assured me that it is “completely deleted” in a “timely fashion”.

I’m with One Medical. So that means the steward of that data is AMAZON.

I am utterly horrified.

"#Canada's federal police have launched a criminal investigation into Israeli soldiers who hold dual Canadian nationality, on suspicion of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in #Gaza.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (#RCMP) confirmed it was conducting the probe under Canada's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Program (CAHWCP)."

Having his bombers taken off the chessboard is one thing, but the sheer humiliation Putin must be feeling right now must be sobering. Because if Zelenskyy’s drones can wipe out 40 of his strategic bombers, he’s probably not sleeping very soundly tonight in the Kremlin.
