How NBC found the golden touch for the 2024 Paris Olympics
From Gold Zone to Primetime in Paris, NBC has finally found a blueprint for how to best cover the Olympics for fans of all kinds.Matt Yoder (Awful Announcing)
Something in @pluralistic’s @defcon talk has been sitting with me all day. To summarise badly:
Tech workers were looked after when it was a scarce skill. The layoffs make it clear it isn’t as scarce anymore.
As the saying goes - the future is here just not evenly distributed.
Abused amazon delivery/warehouse workers are the tech worker future.
The only defense is to unionise.
Update: A recording of the talk is now out defcon.social/@defcon/11314983…
Of course, you won't find that in any of the documentation. This friend only found out because he decided to telnet to the IP address associated with the E10 on his network.
Also, the official website for this thing has an abundance of fantastic English.

It's called quishing when a criminal gets you on the hook via a QR code and you hand over personal information such as credit card details, passwords and your home address.
There are many hooks in our everyday environment today.
QR codes are found in hotels, gas stations, museums, restaurants, medical centers and many other places you trust. It takes a second for a criminal to cover a QR code with his own sticker. How would you tell the difference?
Via the fake QR code you are guided through a flow that feels like what you expect. It's just controlled by someone with nefarious intent.
The German magazine Auto Motor Sport reported earlier this week about how this affects gas stations. per.ax/autoqr
Imagine scanning a QR code at a charging station to start charging your electric car. You enter your credit card details and press start. But the charging doesn’t start. Because you just gave your card details to a criminal who put their own QR code sticker on the charging station.
A clever criminal will perhaps display an error message on the web page and redirect you to the real supplier, enabling you to start charging for real. In which case you may not even notice that money is being covertly withdrawn from your account until much later... or blame the charging supplier who is completely unaware...
But of course it doesn't just affect charging stations. It can happen anywhere.
Queuing systems at sampling locations increasingly rely on QR codes here in Sweden. Let's say a criminal covers this code with their own. You will arrive at a page that asks if you want to join the queue or pay the patient fee of 50 kronor in advance. You may know that you do not have to pay a patient fee. But does everyone know that? Maybe some will bite and pay.
If you join the queue, you will be directed to the correct queue. So not much to react to. And if you have paid the 50 kronor, you will then also be led to the correct queue.
The fake QR code can therefore go undetected for a long time.
As a company, do you know if someone perhaps has already covered your code and is quietly using it to create intermediate flows that steal personal data, or money? Do you have routines to check this? In some places, fake QR codes may live on year in and year out. Like a dripping data leak.
QR codes are in many cases a really, really bad idea from a security and privacy perspective. And it can be a real setback for your brand if people are duped on your premises. Or on your products.
So, do you encourage people to scan, or do you warn?
If I see a QR code in everyday life, I also see many ways to intercept and abuse it.
How did this vulnerability appear just about everywhere? It's as if QR codes have completely gone under the radar of security departments.
I will restructure this post for my blog/newsletter later, but didn't want to wait with my warning, after seeing the clear example from charging stations.

Hi !Friendica Support,
I've only been able to upload 1 photo at a time to Friendica. Is bulk upload available?
The thumbnail that is shown with a link is confusing at best because it is blurred. Is there any way to unblur it?
Thank you!

Oh hey, forgot about this open issue lol. ChromeVox on ChromeOS is so dead. I made an issue for a feature to jump to the next/previous spelling error detected in a text edit area, and well, it's as dead as the ChromeVox What's new document. Oh wait they've not been sending out what's new emails to the ChromeVox email list since like version 94 or so.
More seriously though, a ton of schools, and jobs, are switching to ChromeBooks. I'm not saying one cannot be productive on a ChromeBook, because I was able to. But *only* with the help of Chrostini (Linux support) and Android apps. So like, you seriously have to use every single feature to get work done that's more than just Email and Google Docs.

Im EU-Projekt #TREEADS wurde erstmals die #Selbstentzündlichkeit von #Waldböden nachgewiesen. Höhere #Temperaturen, längere #Trockenperioden und veränderte #Vegetationsmuster erhöhen das Risiko. Experimente zeigten, dass #Waldböden mit hohem organischen Gehalt sich selbst entzünden können. Die Erkenntnisse sollen zur #Waldbrandprävention und -bekämpfung beitragen. und in computergestützte Modelle zur Vorhersage von Waldbränden integriert werden.

1/ So, so. Die #Bundeswehr möchte sich also mehr Vorbilder aus der Nazi-Zeit genehmigen. Es war nicht alles schlecht an der #Wehrmacht. Oder? Vielleicht bin ich in die falsche Schule gegangen, aber für mich klingt es wie ein absurde Idee, Menschen als Vorbilder einzustufen, die einen #Angriffskrieg befehligt haben.
Traditionserlass bei der Bundeswehr: Mehr Wehrmacht wagen

3/ Im #Osten haben das alle in der Schule gelernt. Die #Frühlingssonate von Willy Bredel wurde in der 9. Klasse behandelt und alle Ossis hatten dieselben Lehrbücher und denselben Lehrplan.

Der Ossi und der Holocaust - So isser, der Ossi
Es wird immer wieder, auch von Ossis, behauptet, der Holocaust wäre im Osten nicht thematisiert worden. Das ist falsch, wie ich hier ausführlich zeige.Stefan (So isser, der Ossi)
4/ Mir hatte jemand von dieser neuen Traditionsauffassung der #Bundeswehr erzählt und ich hatte im Netz gesucht. Da war es wohl noch nicht so weit vorgedrungen, die taz hatte erst später berichtet. Damals habe ich aber etwas Interessantes gefunden: einen Bericht des Wissenschaftlichen Dienstes des Bundestags zu #Rommel. Rommel war #HitlersGeneral. Er war das große Vorbild, von Hitler als solches aufgebaut und in Eigenregie von Rommel selbst noch verstärkt. Ich hatte mich hier schon früher darüber aufgeregt, dass Rommel der Namensgeber für zwei Kasernen der Bundeswehr ist. Ich dachte, dass das irgendwelche Relikte aus den 60ern seien, aber es ist ja noch viel, viel schlimmer. Es gab 2018 einen #Traditionserlass und im Zuge dessen, fand von der Leyen, die damalige Verteidigungsministerin, dass der Rommel schon ein dufter Bursche gewesen sei und es schon ok ist, Kasernen nach ihm zu benennen.
Rommel hat den Angriffskrieg des Nazi-Regimes in Afrika geleitet. Er wurde der #Wüstenfuchs genannt. Er war Hitlers General. In dieser Stelle wäre für mich schon Schluss. Egal, was er später noch getan hätte, jemand, der für Nazi-Deutschland Kriege geführt hat, kann kein Vorbild für eine Armee in einem demokratischen Staat sein.
