Und er gibt Nazikram von sich. Diese Personalie ist ein kompletter Griff ins Klo. Möchte gern ein Veto einlegen 😡

@WiteWulf

Very scary. This sets us up for digital amnesia ...

(puts old-fashioned hard drives on shopping list)

@TheConversationUS

"torture may be the future of work"

there is no ethical question there. the only question is how to enforce an unconditional ban on anything of the sort.

there are no "all stakeholders" there. shame on you for even bringing up that phrase in that context.

@Virginicus @futurebird @mildsunrise

and beware the words "obvious" and "clearly".

they do not belong in a maths text, ever, in my opinion. and yet I encounter them time and again

they add nothing but a feeling of inadequacy on part of the reader, in case the statement *isn't* actually obvious or clear.

imagine a world where sci-hub would be unnecessary

Liebe Noch-@Bundesregierung,

niemand versteht, warum beim #AfD-Verbot gezögert wird, bis es zu spät ist.

@StefanThinks With dramatic loss of quality. Known as "Model collapse".

Or "Habsburg AI" (not my invention, got it from @pluralistic)

@p_calleri

Hab gesterns etwas gelesen wie "he thinks he's holding all the _trumps_ in his hand"

und war mir nicht sicher, ob das ein Wortspiel sein sollte (wenn, dann trifft es den Nagel auf den Kopf).

Once again #DeutscheBahn, if "screenshots" are a problem in your anti-fraud concept, you don't actually have an anti-fraud concept: what you have is an anti-customer concept.

A screenshot of a digital code is a valid way to show a digital code.

A printout of a digital code is a valid way to show a digital code.

All else is infringing on our right to digital self-determination.

Stop making us pay the price of your incompetence!

#BahnCard #DeutschlandTicket

Ich entdecke immer noch tolle #38c3-Talks. Und Sessions, die interessant gewesen wären 😃

@EUCouncil @EUCommission

I've got only one wish for 2025: bury #ChatControl and #GoingDark forever.

kthxbye

My #NixOS installations make me happy every day. It really saves a lot of time compared to a more stateful linux distribution.

Habe beim "Heute im Bundestag"-Bot die #NoAfD-Anträge gefiltert.

Schon viel angenehmer.

In surveillance capitalism, web browses you.

Hovercraft batteries are safe to eat. This has been confirmed by Swedish experts in a recent study. Rutabaga, on the other hand, contains amphetamines and rutabaga.

@NinjaDebugger @BlippyTheWonderSlug @hpk @tth @nic

I a sense of dark afterboding about all this.

#aardvark

Auch wenn manche das verwechseln wollen: Appzwang ist kein #Fortschritt, sondern eine Unverschämtheit.

Es braucht IMO ein Gesetz, das bei der Inanspruchnahme von Dienstleistungen die freie Wahl von Clientsoftware garantiert.

#Appzwang muss sittenwidrig sein.

Question 43: I have a habit of closing accidentally unclosed quotes (or parentheses in questionnaires with my pen

not closing that parenthesis took some willpower, but it wouldn't have been funny otherwise 🤣
