"I’ve spent a long time trying to talk to people about very technical, tech policy questions that are very dry and abstract, and I’ve had limited success, but it turns out that swearing a little really increases the penetrative capacity of these abstract ideas."
I gotta work the swearing into my work.
"The problem isn’t whether you abuse your power or not. The problem is the power itself. Striking at the root of the power, which is the inability of both business customers and end-users to defect from platforms that abuse them."
F*ck power.
With new COVID-19 variants looming and renewed attacks on vaccines, masks, and other basic preventative measures, I just want to mention that:
- I still routinely mask up in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces. I mask on planes and trains. I teach with my mask on.
- I test any time I'm feeling under the weather.
- I plan to get the updated vaccine.
I'd *prefer* not to do any of this, but at worst, it's in the "mild inconvenience" category, and far preferable to long-term disability.
Same on all counts. The other advantage is that I *rarely* get a cold or any other related airborne illness. I've thrown out cold meds purchase pre-lockdown that simply never got used and expired. On that count alone I will always mask up.
I've been confronted a couple of times about it when out and about where I was informed I didn't have to mask up anymore, and I'd start talking about how The Man was monitoring everything and no way was I going to allow The Man and his AI to catch me on video. In other words, I acted like a nutjob and the questioning party quickly shut the hell up. They couldn't see the huge smile under my mask - very self-entertaining.

EU plant neues Massenüberwachungsgesetz mit Vorratsdatenspeicherung & Zwangs-Backdoors – jetzt ist noch Widerspruch möglich!
Hey Leute,
die EU plant gerade ein neues Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung, das echt krass werden könnte. Es geht nicht nur um ein paar Verbindungsdaten, sondern darum, jeden Online-Dienst zur Überwachung zu verpflichten – also auch Messenger, Hosting-Anbieter, Webseiten usw.
Das Ganze läuft unter dem Titel:
„Retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings“
Hier kann man bis zum 18. Juni 2025 Feedback abgeben: Have Your Say
Das Ganze basiert auf Empfehlungen einer „High Level Group“, deren Mitglieder komplett geheim gehalten werden. Patrick Breyer (Piraten/MEP) @echo_pbreyer hat nachgefragt – die EU hat ihm eine geschwärzte Liste geschickt.
Laut EDRi wurde die Zivilgesellschaft explizit ausgeschlossen. Lobbyismus deluxe.
Einfach Feedback abgeben, geht in 2 Minuten.
Kurz schreiben, dass man gegen anlasslose Vorratsdatenspeicherung und Überwachung ist, reicht schon. Jeder Kommentar zählt.
Deadline ist der 18. Juni 2025, Mitternacht (Brüsseler Zeit).

Is this a decent OS to move users off Win too that I won't have to do a lot of remote maintenance on? I have a few varied OS's installed on machines around and Cinnamon I have found to look/feel a lot like Windows 7 which would benefit the learning curve for family/friends looking or needing to find an OS to install on a machine that isn't newer.
Curious if anyone has used this, and if so if it is a good fit for those 60+ aged family members and such. They have all used Windows for work at least a decent amount, so keeping things similar is always good. A decent App Store would be nice though. I hated the default store in Pop_OS.
If I could say do updates and reboot every once in awhile and you should be fine it'd be great. Remoting in with RustDesk and hitting App Update/Upgrade being all that is needed also would be great, but you know how that goes. Someone will break something, and I just want something intuitive enough that they won't do it often.
Don't throw away your old computer. Install a Linux distribution that'll make it feel brand new. FunOS is here to help you out.Jack Wallen (ZDNET)

Par ailleurs, le nombre de personnes sinistrées s’élève à 38 949 , soit 9 303 familles, dont la majorité est recensée dans les villes de Toliara I et II. Plus de 20 000 personnes ont dû quitter leurs habitations pour rejoindre les sites d’hébergement.
Même si son épicentre n’a pas touché terre, le cyclone Honda a aussi laissé des dégâts matériels importants : 7 099 maisons inondées et 1 271 autres sont complètement détruites. "

During the Vietnam War, many in political office including the Military Industrial Complex were as evil as the Communists. Research the ROE in Nam instituted by LBJ & McNamara to discover how many military patriots were killed & maimed by our own people in government & corporations. Then look at the repercussions of Agent Orange that is destroying lives to this day. What Corps profited from killing our own troops in Nam??

And of course it’s internet enabled.
Even has its own SIM card and was already transmitting data while learning how to set it up at the home care office.
I don’t mind if it collected stats on me.
I don’t mind if it sent it to my doctor.
But, from what I understand, it’s also sending data to my insurance company.

Bir halkın iradesini teslim alma hikâyesi...
Ahmet Zeki Okçuoğlu
Bu yazıda size, bir halkın kurtarıcı arayışının nasıl tuzağa dönüştüğünü anlatacağım...
Niccolò Machiavelli, Livy Üzerine Söylevler adlı eserinde Britanya’daki Kelt halkının nasıl kendi kıyametini hazırladığını anlatır.
5. yüzyılda Roma çekildiğinde Britanya savunmasız kalmıştı. Keltler, kuzeyden gelen saldırılara karşı koyamayınca, kuzeyden gelen düşmanları püskürtmeleri için savaşçı iki Cermen aşiretini ülkelerine davet ettiler: Anglo ve Saksonlar.
Bu savaşçılar bir süre sonra Britanya'nın efendilerine dönüştüler ve onları davet eden Kelt halkı ise bu yabancıların köleleri oldular.
Bu hadiseyi anlattıktan sonra Machiavelli, son derece ilham verici şu tespitte bulunur:
“Kendi kılıcını değil de yabancının kılıcını kullanarak güvenlik arayan bir halk, sonunda hem güvenliğini hem hürriyetini kaybeder.” (Discorsi, II. Kitap, 30. Bölüm)
Bu hikâyede Kelt halkının köleleşmesinde esas olan dışardan gelen tehdidin büyüklüğü değildir; onun kendisinden olmayan bir güce sığınarak kurtuluşu onda aramasıdır.
Kelt halkının zaafiyeti, yalnızca kurtarıcı olarak sığındığı gücün ülkelerini istila etmelerini kolaylaştırmakla kalmayacak, dış gücün halkın iradesini ele geçirmesini de mümkün kılacaktı.
Günümüzde aynı hikaye daha incelikli metotlarla yaşanıyor. Fiziksel işgallerin yerini, zihinsel teslimiyet almış durumda.
Özellikle günümüzde savaşlar daha ziyade sahte kurtarıcılar, efsaneler icat edilerek yürütülüyor ve bu noktada tarihsel döngü yeniden başlıyor.
Kurtarıcı arayışı içine giren halklar için düşmanları, kendi elleri ile 'kurtarıcı' icat edip onlara takdim ediyorlar.
Bu sahte kurtarıcılar çoğu zaman o halkın özlemlerini dile getiriyor gibi görünüyor; onların geçmişte yaşadıkları acıları, baskıları, kimlik tahribatlarını dile getirerek o halkın duygularına hitap ediyorlar. Ama zamanda bu sahte kurtarıcının, halkı özgürlüğe götürmek yerine köleci sisteme mahkum ettiğine şahit olunur. Ve halk, bir noktadan sonra artık kendisi için değil, sahte kurtarıcı için yaşamaya başlar: "Bê serok jîyan nabe!"
Sahte kurtarıcının son durağı, onun tanrılaştırılmasıdır...
Sahte kurtarıcının, o halkın düşmanları tarafından, tanrısal özelliklerle teçhiz edilmesi, düşmanın en çok istediği şeydir. Çünkü tanrılaştırılmış sahte kurtarıcı sorgulanamaz, eleştirilemez, ona alternatif üretilemez...
Böylece halk kolektif iradesini kaybeder, her şey sahte kurtarıcının iradesine bağlıdır artık...
Artık halk düşünmez, analiz etmez, sadece sahte kurtarıcının onlar için ne vaazda bulunacağını bekler; tek varlığının o olduğunu düşünür.
Bu, kendiliğinden bir gelişmenin neticesi gibi görünse de; aslında bu, dıştan kurgulanmış bir tuzaktan ibarettir.
Kimi zaman halklar, kurtuluş yolunu ararken düşmanın kendilerine sunduğu sahte kurtarıcının peşinden giderler. Yukarıda da temas ettiğimiz gibi bu sahte kurtarıcılar başta halkın özlemlerine tercüman olurlar. Ama aslında onlar bir misyonla sahneye çıkarılmışlardır. Onların vazifesi, halkın potansiyel direniş enerjisini kontrol altına almak, yönlendirmek ve içeriden pasifize ederek köleler olarak düşman(ları)nın hizmetine sunmaktır.
Bugün milyonlarca insan bir sahte kurtarıcı/tanrı için 'irademdir' diyorsa, orada artık halk yoktur, birey yoktur, sadece düşman tarafından yönlendirilen bir köleler sürüsü vardır.
Düşmanın inşa ettiği bir sahte kurtarıcı/tanrıya tapan halk, özgürlüğü değil, esareti hak eder.
Sahte kurtarıcı/tanrı, halkı önce ayağa kaldırır, sonra onu diz üstü çöktürür.
