@patrickcmiller I’m sorry, but I can’t focus on the infosec content because of the incessant grunting of a fascist pig.

No, strike “pig”. I am sorry, didn’t mean to insult the intelligence of pigs.

For my English language friends, a little good news from the Netherlands.

Our minister of asylum and migration, an utterly incompetent fascist person called Faber1 , didn’t allow an immigration center to take some asylum seeking kids to enjoy a day in an amusement park.

Something about austerity, and most sober migration regime ever, and taxpayers money. You know, the familiar fascist stuff.

We, those taxpayers, as I write this about 6.4K of us, flocked together on a gofundme with a 10K target.

In about a day, 113K has been raised, and we’re still going.

If this continues, maybe we can send every child currently stuck in our purposely dehumanising immigration process to the Efteling for a day.😀

And I hope their joy crushes the empty souls of every fascist in the Netherlands.

@GossiTheDog from experience: this is already happening.

Not only subtly bullshitty stuff about strategy etc, but I’ve even seen a case where technical documentation about features and APIs was generated by chatGPT and copy-pasted.

So with zero factual content, and zero attribution or labelling as “pure fantasy”. Took the team weeks to recover.

People worry about Confidentiality, but the biggest threat of GenAI is to Integrity.

PS: Yes, I like the summary functionality (although I always vet carefully and end up rephrasing most), and as a non-native speaker starting with something generated really helps sometimes.

But for the love of all of our collective history, stop the disinformation pollution.

This is irony. And if it not, that’s irony.

@Strandjunker also a good reminder the Romani people, more commonly known by the pejorative term “gypsies” (German: Zigeuner), were among the first to suffer from forced sterilisation, internment and mass murder.

Why? Because of broad social prejudice against this group.

@billyjoebowers and that will include all US citizens who “hate America”. So anyone who opposes the Trump regime.

@inthehands the actual, spoken-out-loud plan is for the "old" system to collapse.

"Earlier this month, Yarvin cheered on the idea of hacking existing infrastructure “to operate in an unusual way that its designers, its previous operators, or both, did not expect,” and complimented DOGE for the way it has hacked into existing bureaucracies. The key performance indicator of DOGE, he wrote, “is its ability to take power from the libs, then keep it.”

@eunews Sadly missing from the list of countries looking to attract scientists from the US, because we have our heads up our xenophobic asses: #TheNetherlands

Case in point: https://mastodon.world/@nlnews/114195999443891201

@gerrymcgovern Agreed.

I ❤️ “Slowing down as an act of resistance”.

All of #USPOL news can be summarized as:

1. The American President is a Russian agent.
2. The country has fallen to a christofascist oligarchy.

Every "breaking" US news item I see is just confirmation of point 1, of point 2, a direct result of either point, or a combination thereof.

I have this beginning of a hypothesis that what we currently call "neurotypical" is a genetic adaptation (a quick calculation gave me roughly 7000 years, so about 250 generations) to city life.

My current idea is that city life requires people to filter out much of their surroundings, and even many of the social cues of their fellow city dwellers, because otherwise they would be in constant overload. This could explain their muted cognitive and emotional profile and their more adaptive social profile.

Anyway, just a thought for now.

PS: Wouldn't it be typical for Global North city dwellers to center themselves as the norm?

@elduvelle @aral @kardinal691 I also can't find it, currently listening to the whole convo.

This matches what I'm hearing: https://archive.is/MxnLS

If we’d spend our public money on public transportation, then how would rich people extract wealth?!

You clearly haven’t thought this through.

We recently published about botnets on (Taiwanese) ASUS routers.

So not an imaginary problem, but I fully agree we should not politicise this.

@goatsarah I’m willing to bet there is quite some (childhood) causation behind that “rich & pathetic” correlation.

@goatsarah also, because the next step to remove the offending key is always the same (and usually the command to do so is *right there on the screen*), maybe make that part of the workflow with a simple y/n?

@goatsarah And if I get close enough so I can, the only thing I get from it is the fact movie stars have pores, or are visibly wearing layers of makeup.

Who asked for this confrontational monstrosity?!?

@atomicpoet @gruber

I don’t want to fit into a dopamine trap of never ending plastic pretend, where winning is by definition at the expense of everyone else, and any ideals or sense of togetherness and goals are to be replaced by product placements, consumerism and ads to sell you shit you don’t need or do things you don’t want.

*And* I’m perfectly fine with you wanting to torture yourself like that, as long as you don’t force it down my throat.
