The Disguised Return of The EU's Private Message Scanning Plot After public outrage buried it once, the EU’s mass surveillance plan is back; rebranded, repackaged, and more invasive than before.

It’s because of the wide income concentration at the top due to industry consolidation eliminating real competition (leaving workers little bargaining power), and regulatory capture; folks at the bottom can β€œsurvive”, but they are making the rational choice to have fewer/no children in such a world

I’m afraid we’re about to declare war on Venezuela. Then 47 can use the Alien Enemies Act at will & get a lot more wartime/emergency power.

2028 isn’t the next battle to focus on, 2026 is. As Kasparov says here, if we lose in 2026, we may have no hope in 2028 as they will have changed the system to eliminate free and fair elections.

Hey websites: If I’m smart enough to know how to copy and paste from the β€œemail” to the β€œconfirm email” fields, I’m smart enough to know that what I’m copying and pasting is correct. Disabling pasting in the β€œconfirm email” field just pisses me off.

Back in the early 90s businesses were convinced you wouldnβ€˜t need programmers any more because business users could just drag and drop code modules and have a working app. I don’t think AI is going to replace the need for smart tech people like a lot of businesses think/hope.

@kagi.com I know it’s not easy to detect AI generated content, but it does clog up the search results and it would be a great value-add to give an option to filter pages where the majority of the content is suspected to be AI generated. I just hate that sinking feeling as I realize a page is AI slop

It was never about citizens vs. non-citizens. It was always about whites vs. non-whites, re-asserting white power and reducing the number of non-whites.

A photo of stickers on a table with a couple anti-ICE sentiments. One sticker is in the style of Icee drinks and says "Abolish ICE" and "keep families together" and the other has the word "FIRE" written with red sharpie on top of the department of homeland security logo with "ICE" underneath. Most of T he Icee style stickers seem to have some kind of ice holographic effect on their surface.

In the midst of other piles of stickers centered in the frame is a sticker with the word "FIRE" written in red sharpie on top of the department of homeland security logo with "ICE" underneath. In the middle of the sticker are the words "Freedom Is Respecting Everyone."

I realize stickers are a fairly passive action of resistance, but, I want to continue to encourage others in their anti-ICE fight. This is one avenue at my disposal.

With that in mind, here are brand new stickers (the Icee ones were printed by me but not created by me). Who wants some?
