The article is from a security researcher involved in the development of post-quantum encryption. Hes known for fighting against various agencies trying to weaken encryption for their questionable benefit. Hes been very successful but a one-man-show only goes so far. Please, if you read this: write those emails to the mailing list and tell others whats going on!

This (sadly) has implications across the whole world, but right now its very easy to stop.

And please, if you do write the email, please dont just copy paste the template in the article, it seems the comitee wants to ignore all the ones with the same wording because of “spam”

For me, the worst part is when they interrupt a video. Anything longer than 5 seconds is also a dealbreaker, often I decide that I dont need to see the video after all when multiple longer ads happen. But then again, I could never stand ads on TV either.

I think whats especially egregious about youtube ads is that they prevent you doing what you came for. On basically all other sites, ads are something in the background, something you ignore. They cannot be ignored if they play instead of a video.

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

In Österreich gibts da schon Vorzeigeprojekte ;-)

I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.

What do you mean “the same city”? What does this statement say about the quality of the chip? I get when you say " the same factory" or “the same company” but “the same city” says nothing. Isnt lots of different tech produced in a few chinese cities?

Eehrm, Ackchyually the souls of true humans in the game are dark, the Dark Soul referencing the Soul that was used to create humanity ☝️🤓

The ideas we explore in concrete work should be informed by what open source licensing proponents seek to restrict (the individual freedom to refuse), the tools they employ (software licensing), the language they attempt to monopolize (“Free as in Freedom”), and what the established systems and cultural norms do in practice

The article doesnt use the wording “Free Software Movement” it uses “open source licensing proponents” which includes the Free Software Movement.

As for the genocide per default part: Its nonsense to believe that if open source didnt exist or was different that it would somehow lead to less genocide.

“We know that there is a clear relationship between corporations which expend focused energy explicitly and implicitly promoting the use of Open Source Initiative-approved licenses to independent developers, and the genocide being committed in Palestine.”

“The Freedom to refuse”

This article is bonkers. It manages to twist the Free Software Movement, that I would argue is intrinsically radically anti-capitalist, to be somehow pro capitalist, because free labour. Completely ignoring the whole mutual benefit and means of production held in common part of the deal. It tries to paint restricions of who is allowed to use the software (breaking F(L)OSS definitions) as a “Freedom”, the freedom to “refuse”. Actual use of Orwellian phrasing there. And then somehow: Open source = Siding against Palestine.

Patente auf Lebewesen gehören verboten, nicht “transparent und fair” gemacht! Indigene Völker haben die Pflanzen schliesslich auch nicht erfunden, und ich würde mal sagen, das die Welt keine bessere werden würde wenn z.B. Heilmittel in Zukunfte eine kompliziertere Patentstruktur haben.

Ausserdem finde ich die Denkweise grundsätzlich Falsch, dass ein ganzes Volk ein Patent auf eine Pflanzliche Wirkung besitzen soll, noch dazu eine die sie seit Jahrhunderten kennt. Laut dem Artikel ist z.B. Stevia ein klarer Fall von “Biopiraterie” weil indigene Völker diese Pflanzen verwenden. Ginge es nach den Biopirat-Gegnern, soll man also eine Zustimmung von Indigenen Völkern haben, dass man eh Stevia verwenden darf, selbst wenn die Pflanze in China angebaut wird! Absolut Grausig, was uns da als “Fairness” verkauft wird.

Hier ein weiterer Artikel dazu: Biopiraterie Stevia

Da ist es sogar noch schlimmer: Den Wirkstoff von Stevia kann man komplett Synthetisieren, also man braucht die Pflanze gar nicht. Indigene Völker wollen aber trotzdem, dass man ihnen Geld dafür gibt. Wegen einem “Patent”, dass sie vor Hunderten Jahren im Nachhinein haben, das für immer gilt, auf das Ganze Volk ausgeschrieben ist und ausserdem nur für den Nutzen einer Pflanze, die einen Wirkstoff enthält. Diese Einigung ist ein weiterer Schritt in die Richtung Patenthölle.

No they dont, not with the current american administration.

They finally found a bagholder!

Theres a “do not disturb at night” option on all modern phones nowadays for people who dont want to become unreachable

Koks. Viel zu viel gekokst die werten Leut. Oder Lack gesoffen, kann man heutzutage nicht mehr ausschließen.

No idea who that is, but it sure isn’t Hatsune Miku, creator of Minecraft!

Swapping CIA propaganda with CCP propaganda, I see. Temu does use slave labor for some products, or rather, they dont check whether the seller does and dont care when it happens. Just because that persons factory doesnt is not proof.

edit: ah it says child labor, ok no idea where that came from

Oi, you got a loicence to pay that ransom fee?

Ist schon irgendwie deprimierend, oder? Wir könnten uns die Nachrichten eigentlich schon selber schreiben, es kommt eh nichts mehr neues!

But…they can already do all of that? And nothing is stopping you from having a secret offshore account in a foreign currency, instead of cryptocoins.
