This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life. It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them. Before I came, I asked a local friend if the cold (it's going to be -20 or so in the coming days) would stop people from coming out. "No, we'll be there. It's ICE who can't handle it." Today I talked with a 76 year old who'd been standing in the cold for hours guarding her neighbors. I was getting kind of chilly, even in the new winter gear i bought for this trip (and I live in the goddam mountains myself). She didn't even have a hat on. Another person put it: "we're Minnesotans. We're excited to get out our real winter gear out of the box for the year."

Come for the quote, stay for the text.

Meine ChatGPT-Nutzung wandelt sich über die Jahre von einem erstaunten „Wow!“ über „Guck ich als erstes, weil es so einfach ist“ und „Guck ich nur, wenn ich woanders nichts finde.“ hin zu „Nutze es fast gar nicht mehr und entwickle eine Aversion“, weil mich die vielen falschen Antworten und das Mindfuck-artige, pseudo-beziehungsorientierte Kommunikationsmuster unglaublich triggert und aggro macht, besonders wenn eins die ständigen falschen Antworten korrigiert.

I was wondering when a reporter would uncover this.

So BitLocker is super secure, right? Well... BitLocker recovery keys are backed up to Microsoft's Cloud - and they give them out to law enforcement on request. Using the BitLocker recovery key, you can just unlock the device without a PIN etc.

Gisteren vond er een aanslag plaats op een protest van de Koerdische gemeenschap op het Operaplein. Wij waren daar ook aanwezig om onze solidariteit te tonen.
Er zal hierover nog communicatie volgen maar we willen al even reageren op een aantal artikels die hierover reeds in de Vlaamse media verschenen.
* De politie was niet "aanwezig om de manifestatie in goede banen te leiden." Daar heeft de Koerdische gemeenschap de politie niet voor nodig.
* Welgeteld één flik in burger heeft eerste zorgen toegediend. De rest stond er wat op te kijken. Het waren de omstaanders die voornamelijk de eerste zorgen hebben toegediend.
* Het was geen "pure chaos." Ja, het was verwarrend en beangsigend, maar de reacties van de meeste omstaanders waren snel en to-the-point.
* Sommige berichten spraken over een vechtpartij. Dit is pertinent onjuist.

Wij moedigen journaliten aan om verder te kijken dan wat de politiewoordvoerder hen vertelt en communicatie vanuit de politie met dezelfde voorzichtheid te behandelen als elke andere bron.

we'll hope you'll enjoy them! Btw, the download stats were even already featured by some "vodcasts" – see e.g. around 4:48 to 5:40 here: youtube.com/watch?v=VR-MEwPDw4… (and they're meanwhile also available in Droid-ify). They're privacy friendly (no PII at all), and rather easy to integrate with any web server – so maybe @fdroidorg might integrate them with their repository (and client?) as well? 🤔 We gladly provide our tooling to them – and to other repositories, of course!

Ist bei @disroot eigentlich noch jemand zu Hause? Haben vor 3 Wochen versucht, für jemanden dort einen Mail-Account zu registrieren. Der steht bis heute auf "pending approval", also mehr als die per automatischer Mail angegebenen 48h. Support-Anfrage per Mail vor 3 Tagen auch nur auto-reply, dass man innerhalb 24h antworten würde.

Erwarte ja keine "instant action", aber so gar keine, ist irgendwie seltsam (und wenig vertrauenerweckend)…

@kuketzblog steht bei Dir in der Empfehlungsecke 😉

The entire left side of my mouth is one big hurtbox. I probably very much need to see a dentist, as things are noticeably getting worse, but the state of good ol' American health care is preventing me from even considering it, as I am constantly thinking about how much it's going to cost, especially since I'm not home. Such a joy.

RE: tldr.nettime.org/@dk/115940759…

AI and IP will take a few threads to cover.

At its core, the themes are similar to what I’ve written many times before.

The capitalist comes to market twice, once as buyer, then again as seller.

As a buyer, capital is happy to get inputs for free, as a seller, exclusion and payment are required.

Understanding of IP must always be rooted in the difference between Department I and Department II in the circulation of capital.

With AI, Department II output becomes Department I input. The current is reversed and the circuit becomes unstable.

🤦‍♂️ Девушка перевела «Филиппу Киркорову» 100 тысяч рублей

Лже-Киркоров написал ей в мессенджере и предложил поужинать в ресторане, если она оплатит ему дорогу. 30-летнюю девушку ничего не смущало, пока мошенник не перестал выходить на связь.

Девушку, конечно, жаль, но у нас пожилая мадам лже-Брэду Питту 830000 евро (это восемьсот тридцать тысяч, я не опечатался) перевела. Я могу немножко приврать в сумме, но по-моему именно столько. Скандалище на всю Францию был.

#StroongeCast E71: Do You Fancy A Drink? youtu.be/Mxa0W_z6Ls8

This week we're discussing whether having a drink when out with friends is necessary and expected, or safe to skip. For those who don't drink, are you considered 'the boring one?'
Kirsten doesn't drink very much at all, and Andre may have a drink when out with friends or at a gig, but not always.

Here's a little advanced computer tip for you all on a Friday, definitely not based on recent personal experience.

If you have plugged in a cable, and it does not work, ensure that the end of the cable that you have plugged in is part of the same cable as the other end of the cable. This can really make a difference.

Yours bemusedly,

Neil

Two years ago we switched all #curl documentation into markdown as the source format. We generate man pages and more from those.
