There was a story that went around this week about movie studios' woes with "superfans."
A "superfan" is somebody who has attached their whole personality to hating an intellectual property they loved in their youth.

2 Monate Fahrverbot und 150 Tagessätze für den Todesfahrer von Andreas Mandalka. Das erscheint manchen wenig, die Geldstrafe ist aber fast ein halbes Jahreseinkommen. Nichts kann ein Menschenleben aufwiegen.
Artikel in den BNN ohne Zahlschranke, der auch den Autofahrer erwähnt, der in die Gedenkfaht gefahren ist: bnn.de/pforzheim/enzkreis/neuh…
If you are like me, you often need to type or copy and paste things over and over again. For example, I have a couple Zoom meetings I host. Even though I email the Zoom info to people, there is always somebody who calls me or emails me and asks for the Zoom info again. This used to be annoying, until I found out about the text substitution feature of Microsoft Word and Outlook. Note, I do not know if this feature works in the new version of Outlook. I have only tried this in Outlook Classic. The way this works is that whatever text you need to put in a Outlook email or Word document often, you create what Word or Outlook calls a building block with the text. As an example, I created a building block with my personal zoom room and called it pz. To do this, I did the following:
Now, whenever I need to put this info into an email, I type pz followed by F3. Just like that, my Zoom info is in the body of the email.

Mandated wiretap interfaces and cryptographic backdoors are *expensive*, both in terms of money and, more importantly, exposure to risk. Worse, those burdens are borne inequitably.
Overall, almost no one is the subject of a lawful wiretap, even in places where wiretapping is an important investigative tool. Most people aren't suspects. But these mandates degrade security (and impose other costs) for *everyone*, the vast majority of whom will never be wiretapped.

Mozilla's CEO doubles down on them being an advertising company now.
tl;dr: "LOL get fucked"
They've decided who their customers are, and it's not you, it's people who build and invest in surveillance advertising networks. But in a "respectful" way....

Wieso erfahre ich jetzt erst, dass es #StreetComplete gibt? Wie unfassbar großartig!
While Heinlein had a valid point in this authorial insert, he tiptoed around his own cognitive biases: if entertainers and athletes were inappropriate, WHO did he think deserved to be taken seriously? And why are entertainers and athletes disqualified? Consider President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, or President Vaclav Havel of Czecheslovakia—a comedian on one hand and a satirist on the other, both went on to be statesmen.
I'm amused even Heinlein drew a line on organ trade in The Cat Who Walked through Walls:
As for the foot itself, by invariant local custom "spare parts" (hands and feet and hearts and kidneys, etc.) were not bought or sold; there was only a service and handling charge billed with the cost of surgery.
Galahad confirmed this. "We do it that way to avoid a black market. I could show you planets where there is indeed a black market, where a matching liver might mean a matching murder--but not here. Lazarus himself set up this rule, more than a century ago. We buy and sell everything else... but we don't traffic in human beings or pieces of human beings."

Deutschland: "#Deutschlandticket nicht bezahlbar muss teurer werden!"
Portugal: "Landesweites Ticket, das sogar für Intercities gilt, für 20 Euro."
Es ist alles nur eine Frage des Wollens, finanzierbar wäre sowas auch bei uns.
Die Typen hinter ShiftPhone machen das ja aus religiöser Überzeugung: "ein Unternehmen, das komplett Gott gehört"
Wir waren gerade im Entscheidungsprozess zwischen FairPhone und ShiftPhone und sind überzeugte Atheist*innen und unterstützen daher nicht gerne wissentlich Unternehmen, die Gott gehören. (Mag für manche meiner Followys ein Pro-Argument sein, für uns spricht es total dagegen.)

I’ve been a fan of Stevie Wonder for as long as I can remember. That’s why I’m proud to share The Wonder of Stevie podcast from Higher Ground and @Questlove, which explores the five-year period starting from 1972 where Stevie released some of the most groundbreaking albums that transformed music.
I hope you'll take some time to listen on Audible or wherever you get your podcasts.

Our closed beta testers have finally gotten their hands on Thunderbird Appointment, and it seems like they like us! Check out this review from @ZDNet - and kudos to them for trying the self-hosted install as well!
I hope a better notification system for the event calender etc. Comes to.
Something like a dialog in the center of thunderbird screen would work.
Don't use the incoming e -mail notification bubble. Turned that off long ago.
Nice write-up over on @ZDNet for @thunderbird Appointment. We're so glad to see appreciation for this open source scheduling tool - and we're just getting started.
The current Mozilla seems to believe that there is "good" advertising and "bad" advertising, and that furthermore there is "good" ad tracking/ad surveillance and "bad" ad tracking/ad surveillance, and all they have to do is do a lot of the "good" advertising and "good" surveillance and somehow this will cause there to be less of the "bad" advertising and surveillance. As if there is a limit on how much advertising it is possible to fit in the world.
good point. I am mainly disappointed that management didn't read their own list archives—did Internet freedom people compromise with any of the other possible dystopia timelines?
Clipper Chip (US government) no, we have e2e encryption now
Codec patent cartel (huge IT companies) no, we have free media formats
DRM mandate "Fritz Chip" (US government + big media) no, we dodged this one too
Can't beat this stuff with compromises that leave supporters feeling creeped out
@dmarti About "free media formats" there a few things they botched, self inflicted.
1. EME to allow DRM. Not an uptick into the market share.
2. some initiative didn't work with Firefox without proprietary codec because one part of the company had to clue (won't give the name of the initiative)
I genuinely believe Mozilla thinks it's acting in the public interest by moving further into the ad-tech ecosystem, claiming that it's doing so in a privacy-protecting way.
But the history of ad-tech is that it swallows everything it touches.
Mozilla + ad-tech = ad-tech.

Can Sir Tim transform the Web to its golden age where individuals and not mega-corps set the tone with Solid Protocol? He certainly hopes so.
