So wenig Zeit bleibt, um aus untergehendem Auto zu kommen


Klimaanpassung statt Klimaschutz? Mit dem Auto ans Mittelmeer, wo's in letzter Zeit öfter mal gibt? Der ADAC zeigt, wie's geht - oder auch nicht.

Man beachte bei der Folge, dass ab Minute 33 auch das mit dem Fenster aufmachen getestet wird, unter anderem werden im Trockenen Eisengewichte auf eine Autotür gestapelt, um den Unterwasserdruck zu simulieren, wenn man im gesunkenen Auto das Fenster per normalem Fensterheber öffnen will. Im Endeffekt gilt, sobald das Wasser ein Fenster auch nur teilweise bedeckt, hilft in der Tat nur noch der Nothammer.

Finde aber schon cool, dass der ADAC das hier praktisch ausprobiert bzw. demonstriert hat.

ORG's new report exposes Meta’s intrusive profiling of its users.

With the introduction of Generative AI to Meta’s ad tools, existing problems with opacity will get worse.

By further automating ad audience selection on Meta with GenAI, we'll have less chance of understanding why certain people are seeing which ads.

It may also make it even harder to detect the use of proxy data that let advertisers dodge anti-discrimination or data processing laws.

Privacy over profits!

We're fighting back against Meta's use of personal data to sell ads.

Meta should give us options for opting-out of stalker ads. Until they do, you can use our tool to make this request.

Which is why the airlines shouldn't begrudge some passengers bringing alcohol on the plane... 🤣

I just watched this via Redacted about U.S. airlines... different issue, but interesting. In this case, this lady thinks it's a push for pilot-less planes.

The Swiss government tries to fuck us over with a new "agreement" with the EU 😡

archive.ph/Nlu7V
Among others, the EU wants that Switzerland gives EU citizens (which includes all their 3rd world migrants who received papers after 5 years) a permanent residency status after just 5 years.

So people from the EU who work in Switzerland for 3.5 years, lose their job and collect unemployment insurance for 1.5 years would automatically be entitled to live on Swiss Social Security.

The official estimate is 3000 to 4000 more social security recipients immediately 😡

Based on all the bullshit they said previously, we can expect 200K social security recipients within 10 years.

I really hope that this agreement will be rejected by the people.

And fuck those sell-outs in the government ☠️

In my lawsuit, Apple still has not explained why it fired me, and their amended answer still did not provide facts to support their defenses.

At midnight on a long weekend, the Court denied my motion to strike & said I CAN'T argue its illegal to retaliate against someone reporting issues to the government.

My claims were investigated by the gov, found to have merit, and multiple enforcement actions were undertaken. The court completely ignored these facts and does not even address them.

I pointed out that my claims were investigated by gov, found to have merit, & enforcement actions were taken

The court completely ignored these facts and does not even address them & said I should cite unrelated cases

This is beyond frustrating. Things he said I didn't raise until my Reply were expressly raised in the Motion, or raised by Apple's Opp. This is the same thing he did when he claimed I "conceded" on things I expressly objected He also denied my request for a motion hearing again

Nach dem was man so aus den USA liest, ist das vielen rechten Wählern gar nicht so egal, wenn ihnen die Bezüge weggekürzt werden oder sie gleich ganz aus dem Bezug von Arbeitslosengeld, Krankenversicherung usw. rausfliegen oder sogar sie oder ihre Angehörigen, Nachbarn usw. ins Gulag gesteckt werden.

Selbst rechte Wähler stecken nicht alle so tief in der alternativen Realität, dass sie sogar das noch wegrationalisieren.

Why does a narcissist build metaphorical "mirror rooms" where only his opinions matter? 🪞

Narcissists often create echo chambers — or "mirror rooms" — to surround themselves with reflections of their own beliefs and ideas. This serves to boost their fragile self-esteem and control the narrative around them. In these spaces, dissenting opinions are dismissed or punished, reinforcing their sense of superiority and validating their distorted self-image. Understanding this can help those affected see the patterns and reclaim their own voice. 🧠💡 #NarcissisticAbuse #MentalHealthAwareness #SelfCare

> Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy.

> According to the Commentary on the First Geneva Convention, examples of acts harmful to the enemy include the use of medical units to shelter able-bodied combatants, to store arms or munitions, as a military observation post or as a shield for military action.

I've heard it said that Israel gives some idea of what Germany might have become, if the Nazis had more time and unstinting support from their allies.

Wow. The EPA has placed 144 employees on administrative leave after the workers signed a public letter criticizing EPA leadership for disregarding scientific expertise and rolling back environmental and public health protections. This is an unacceptable censorship of scientists!

Coding is like taking a lump of clay and slowly working it into the thing you want it to become. It is this process, and your intimacy with the medium and the materials you’re shaping, that teaches you about what you’re making – its qualities, tolerances, and limits – even as you make it. You know the least about what you’re making the moment before you actually start making it. That’s when you think you know what you want to make. The process, which is an iterative one, is what leads you towards understanding what you actually want to make, whether you were aware of it or not at the beginning. Design is not merely about solving problems; it’s about discovering what the right problem to solve is and then solving it. Too often we fail not because we didn’t solve a problem well but because we solved the wrong problem.

When you skip the process of creation you trade the thing you could have learned to make for the simulacrum of the thing you thought you wanted to make. Being handed a baked and glazed artefact that approximates what you thought you wanted to make removes the very human element of discovery and learning that’s at the heart of any authentic practice of creation. Where you know everything about the thing you shaped into being from when it was just a lump of clay, you know nothing about the image of the thing you received for your penny from the vending machine.

Obviously the only correct decision would have been to charge •more• people with tampering with evidence. Also: how can there not have been backup copies at this stage in the investigation? Are they insisting that they are that incompetent?

A decision to drop criminal charges against fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv football club has ignited controversy in the Netherlands.

Dutch prosecutors took the decision after CCTV footage showing violent behavior by Israeli hooligans toward Muslim women last November was found to have been ERASED.

Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen reports from Amsterdam.
