@nprofile1q... Artikel gelesen?

„Die Homöopathie füllt diese Lücke; sie ist selbst nur Symptom einer Störung im medizinischen Apparat. Hier jetzt einfach die Kosten zu streichen, ohne diesen Bedarf anzuerkennen, ist im Grunde auch nur ein Herumdoktern an den Bilanzen der Maschine Mensch.“

Klarnamenspflicht schadet der Online-Kommunikation:
https://www.draketo.de/deutsch/politik/klarnamenspflicht

Denn täglich grüßt das Murmeltier.

Und diese dumme Idee wurde inzwischen wirklich oft genug aus der Versenkung geholt -- sie verursacht nachweislich nur Schaden und kann jetzt endlich mal bleibend verschwinden.

@nprofile1q... My understanding is that this is per-user.

And can only be set by the admin:

Chaos Communication Congress 2024:

"Do not obey in advance"

#systemd: hold my beer.

"as required by recent laws"

Merged 4 days ago.

If German communication infrastructure providers had obeyed in advance like that, privacy violating data retention would be a reality in Germany now.

@nprofile1q... I found The Bookstore of Hope. Part one feels so much of the drab and harsh and exhaustion I know too well that I feared it would continue hardening and draining, but part two made it wonderful. Strengthened life, as if it formed a root that flowered into a new reality.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I laughed and cried -- not only in that order.

And am still crying now, even while I smile.

Thank you so much.

And I’m recording that filk song I promised a friend this week. And maybe next week again. Fuck all else.

Can we please start treating AI companies as threat actors?

They already took down the notabug web interface: https://notabug.org/

Yesterday’s report from the diligent infrastructure people at #GNU paints a grim picture of the behavior of those companies: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2026-03/msg00044.html

That’s a DoS funded by venture capital which just happens to take out competitors of Github -- owned by Microsoft, a major shareholder of OpenAI:

@nprofile1q... Das ist ein wichtiger Teil davon, ja.

Statt Leute im Bürgergeld ständig zu überwachen, könnten die dafür nötigen Leute besser zur Überwachung von Betrieben und zum Kampf gegen Steuerhinterziehung genutzt werden (was teils das gleiche Problem ist: große Teile der Steuerhinterziehung kommen durch Schwarzarbeit).
