The Nuremberg tribunals stated in unambiguous terms that enslavement or deportation of a population is a crime against the customary international law. See Robert Jackson, The Nuremberg Case xiv-xv (1971). Further, Nuremberg Principle IV(b) provides that the “deportation to slave labor … of civilian populations of or in occupied territory” constitutes both a “war crime” and a “crime against humanity.”

Bahntickets nur noch via App, digitale Events nur via Zoom: Analog geht fast nichts mehr und digital dann meist auch nur mit den Anwendungen einer Handvoll Big Tech-Konzerne. Schwierig, finden nicht nur Vereine wie @digitalcourage. Hier gibt's den Nano-Beitrag von letzter Woche: 3sat.de/wissen/nano/250325-bei…

Digitalzwang - ohne Apps geht nix

Wird es Zeit für ein gesetzliches Recht auf analoges Leben? Viele Dienste sind nur noch mit Smartphone und nach Angabe persönlicher Daten nutzbar. Das will oder kann nicht jeder.

Why I recommend against Brave

thelibre.news/no-really-dont-u…

<- this is serious. Said it before, I will say it again. Do not use the Brave browser. It is a corrupt product which is insecure, repeatedly steals from others, founded & run by an immoral & unethical bigot.

DO NOT USE BRAVE.


Why I recommend against Brave

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection.

Since I'm sure this is going to get linked to by HN-loving ignoramuses asking, "Why is jwz so mean to HN?"

It's a VC fan club, your go-to spot to simp for billionaires. Bad enough! But there's also Y Combinator's stochastic terrorist, cryptofascist, christofascist CEO Garry Tan.

This — that attitude, and that piece-of-shit motherfucker in particular — is what you're supporting every time you click on or share a "Hacker" "News" link.

Stop hanging out at the Nazi Bar.

Corporate: as an employee you must be dedicated to the company.

Also corporate: we know you executive don't give a shit so here is some insane amount of money for you to close the bankrupcy and liquidate.

The fact that a bankrupcy will no treat worker with the highest priority is telling.
