AI-brillen (etc etc) reguleren of proberen met verboden in te tomen is weinig effectieve symptoombestrijding.
De leiders van de fascistoide doodscultussen erachter onschadelijk maken is wat nodig is. En dat begint met ze niet meer op voorhand aan te moedigen, te faciliteren, of ze te gedogen.
If I recall correctly, the German nazis threatened to invade Czechoslovakia in 1938. A conference was held, in which it was agreed that the nazis were to gain a military foothold across the fortified Czechoslovakian border, in return for the promise to hold off further advances. A jubilant Chamberlain returned from Munich, believing to have established peace. History knows this as the Munich Betrayal.
If I recall correctly, the USA nazis threatened to invade Greenland in 2025, repeating the threats in 2026. A conference was held, in which the nazis were to gain a military foothold on Greenland’s soil, across its natural defences, in return for the promise to hold off further advances. Frederiksen and Nielsen returned jubilantly from New York, believing to have established peace. History has to name this, still.
We were taught: ‘40-‘45. But #OTD in ‘39 they invaded Poland. Some say: ‘39, then.
But in ‘38 they already annexed Austria. And Czechoslovakia. ‘38, then.
But in ‘36 they already took and militarised the Rhine’s west bank. ‘36 then.
Pearls are clutched, in fear of WW3, with a big bang presumedly starting it off.
Presumption Shmesumption. Cold? Hot.
Ukraine. Venezuela. Iran. Greenland is being usurped. Soon, Cuba, probably. Hindsight will mark a date. A past date, now.
Not a lot. Just forever.

Nuclear doesn’t go well with global warming. Who knew.
Lesser evil optimization happens inevitably when lesser evil gets to be the dominant factor. It shifts the center firmly evilwards.
Purity traps are a fallacy, an exploited one to boot. But if all that stands against it is a lesser evil argument, that’s a lose-lose situation.

Vroegâh was een podcast iets gepubliceerd via RSS oid, en als je zin had om te luisteren naar warrige betweters die elkaar vliegen probeerden af te vangen dan deed je dat op de manier die jij het fijnste vond.
Tegenwoordig wijzen die mansplainathon links bijna altijd naar gesloten silo’s, de ene nog wat malicieuzer dan de andere. Spotify, godbetert…
Hoeft niet, kon en kan beter, maar we doen het toch.
Mmmmmmmisschien Tata dan maar geen, of iets minder dan 20 miljard uit de staatskas toeschuiven? Of gewoon kerosine gelijkwaardig aan benzine behandelen? De BTW-kortingen en subsidies/belastingontduikingsmaatregelen op andere VVD-hobbies afschaffen of verlagen?
Hate to say this but Vance is right. High oil prices *are* a temporary blip. When we go extinct high oil prices will simply vanish. And we’re speeding towards that happy moment. Because we can’t have high prices on our obliteration path, can we?
Dear world. A product is not a standard. End of broadcast. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
~80yo has 86yo killed. No trial, just an execution.
In doing so, ~80yo flaunted his country’s constitution, unilateral engaging in warfare. This is the House’s providence.
~80yo felon has been in domestic doo-doo, being deeply underwater in the popularity polls and being center and front in the kidnapping, raping and torturing little girls department.
80yo no doubt enjoys the sweet combination of power grab and distraction. Don’t think we should cheer much.
Google is now firing employees because the’re acting “paranoid”, which is observed in them “viewing normal business practices as sinister”.
Google is telling us what it is. Believe them.
40 die, horribly, in Switzerland. Many more are injured, maimed for life. It was an accident.
40 die, horribly, in Venezuela. Many more are injured, maimed for life. It was an intentional act of violence.
One of the two gets the emphatic treatment, the other is gaslighted away. Journos, you’re not doing your work.
While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973
Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition
We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
Dear journos,
I keep bumping into the phrase “made-up facts” in your stories where you bothside (as you are wont to) extreme-right gaslighting frames.
There’s no such thing as a “made-up fact”. It’s a contradiction in terms. If it is a fact, it isn’t made up. And if it’s not a fact, but is being made up (which is an intentional act), the word for that is “lie”.
Thanks for your attention.
