Kritik an Israel - Amnesty: „Humanitäres Völkerrecht wird nicht eingehalten“

Amnesty International kritisiert eine „einseitige Parteinahme“ der Bundesregierung mit Israel und fordert auf, Waffenlieferungen zu stoppen.#GAZA #Libanon #AMNESTYINTERNATIONAL #ISRAEL

Verstößt der Krieg in Gaza und im Libanon gegen das Völkerrecht?

"In der aktuell erregt geführten Debatte über die gesellschaftliche Bedrohung durch Besteck redet niemand über Löffel. Es geht nur um die Messer. Da aber ist man quer durch die Parteien mit Verboten schnell bei der Hand. Kann sich jemand eine ähnliche Diskussion über die weitaus größere Gefahr auf Deutschlands Straßen vorstellen, über die Straftäter am Steuer? Sie scheint undenkbar. Und genau das ist das Problem."

Lets Encrypt will disable OCSP about 6 months after Microsoft Root program allows it to (the browsers have already okayed it).

This all could be over in a year, year and a half. If you need OCSP for your business, you need to investigate alternatives NOW - which are all proprietary.

Apache ACME will handle this change just fine. Stapling will of course no longer be provided to clients.

Wait, what is this?

Yup!

A Friday news dump from yours truly: I called up Be My Eyes CEO Mike Buckley this morning to pick his brain about the recently-announced collab with Meta and the Ray-Ban smart glasses.

Amongst other things, Buckley said Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth was key to the whole thing.

I went through my sticker box and picked out the hexagonal NGI ones. These are some of the projects that risk reduced to no funding when EU decides to put tax money into AI projects instead.

Apple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

Delivering the final talk at the last ever XOXO was a huge responsibility, a tremendous honor, and an absolute joy.

I'm so stoked that now you can watch the video of me explaining why nothing lasts, and why this gives me hope we can create moments that'll help change the world and save each other.

So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms

Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

this, despite the many (god, so many) pronunciation mistakes, is a masterpiece.
I recommend that all who consider themselves allies to Jews and Palestinians watch this video essay (or even better, read the sources that were used to write it. but watching it is shorter).

I’m not sure whether there is anything but SquareX PR to this story: globenewswire.com/news-release…

Either way: yes, malicious browser extensions can still do considerable damage, even with Manifest V3. No amount of technical improvements is going to change that: as long as extensions can do something useful, they will also be able to turn rogue.

Manifest V3 implemented some rather effective measures to prevent legitimate extensions from being exploited. It also to some degree made it easier to inspect extensions and identify problematic use of browser APIs.

But, and I doubt that it comes as much of a surprise, it’s still very bad to have malicious extensions installed. No real changes here.

Should we have the same standard for everyone's behavior in a volunteer group? In particular, when we're evaluating and addressing destructive behavior, should we apply two different standards? One if they're a "known quantity" and one if they're not?

My answer is: yes, sort of. Not so much for *assessing* the behavior. But I suggest different approaches in how we react to it as we work on repair.
