Friends everywhere: horrified by the murder by #ICE in #Minneapolis this morning? Horrified by the false claims by officials about a "vehicle ramming" when eyewitness testimony says it was a coldblooded killing?
Remember what your city or a city close to you did in 2020 after George Floyd. We in Minneapolis need you again. We need that response again. We need your help. Cause a ruckus, get in the streets, block ICE, be water, spread fire.
Pass it on. This city has shown so much bravery so far during this fed occupation. We need yours now too.
Was mir auffällt: Ich habe noch keinen Linken gehört, der den vermeintlich linksextremen Stromnetz-Anschlag in Berlin gut findet.
Bei rechtsextremen Anschlägen auf Flüchtlingsheime gibt es auf rechter Seite aber immer Leute, die online Beifall zollen. Oder die jubelnd neben dem Gebäude stehen.
Die fehlende Zustimmung zeigt (egal ob False-Flag oder nicht), dass es für diese Spielart des Linksextremismus keine Unterstützung in der Bevölkerung gibt, was bei rechtem Terror leider anders ist.
The far right doesn't care and has never cared about:
* freedom of speech
* freedom of the press
* states rights
* government overreach
* wars of choice/international meddling
*. women's sports
* women ... generally
* real Americans
But most important of all they do not care about appearing hypocritical. They want to be seen as powerful, brave, unstoppable, etc. the dishonest rot of hypocrisy is just another tool.
Learn it now and forever. Expect much less from such people.

Firefox users,
do you want any AI directly built into Firefox, or separated out into extensions?

Bekennerschreiben-Roulette: Eyjafjallajökull vs. Vulkan
„Die Texte und Aktionen der letzten Jahre stammen nicht von uns. Sie widersprechen dem, wofür wir standen und warum wir überhaupt gehandelt haben.“
Mich würde ja mehr interessieren, ob die früher auch ihre Schreiben aus dem Russischen übersetzt haben.

Imagine that it's 1925 and I am a clever, experienced mechanical engineer. I look around at the "tech" world of the time and notice some disturbing things:
- the rising power of literally fascist CEOs like Henry Ford
- What began as an inefficient, quirky novelty toy for rich people, the automobile, has become "normal" and started to dominate public space
- rising levels of fossil pollution
- the rising monopoly power of Oil companies
- dangerous levels of stock-market speculation
- brutal exploitation of people and environmental destruction in mining and rubber producing (mostly colonial) regions
- the use of debt to get less wealthy consumers to buy cars
- scores of innocent pedestrians injured or killed by automobiles
- urban planning that increasingly favors more expensive cars over other users of the streets
- declining sense of importance of shared forms of transportation like trolleys and trains
As an engineer, I look at all those rising issues and then I say:
"What we need is an Open Source Model-T Ford with some slightly better safety features."
In retrospect, that would seem like a pretty inadequate response.
Discord ist zur Zeit die Chat-Platform mit dem besten Konzept und der besten Usability und Integration – weit vor allem anderen.
Leider wird sich das mit dem IPO bald ändern. Dann stehen nicht mehr Benutzerinteressen im Vordergrund, sondern Monatarisierung. Binnen drei Jahren wird eine Alternative am Start sein müssen, die funktioniert (also schon mal nix was föderiert und E2E ist).
Warum nix mit Föderation und E2E? Weil das Anti-Features sind, die Stabilität und Usability zerstören.

LOL, nein.
Zum Thema Vulkangruppe:
"Den deutschen Behörden liegen derzeit keine Anhaltspunkte dafür vor, dass es sich bei dem Anschlag um eine »False Flag«-Aktion eines ausländischen Geheimdienstes handelt."
Den deutschen Behörden lag ja auch keine Anhaltspunkte zum NSU vor, über ein Jahrzehnt.
Den deutschen Behörden lagen ja auch keine Anhaltspunkte zum Anschlag vor.
Die deutschen Behörden sehen gerne das was die sehen wollen und das hat man ihnen mit der ominösen Vulkangruppe geliefert.
Advice to European nations from an American:
Put troops in Greenland now. He will try to seize it if you don't send military assets to protect that territory. And you need to do it now. Shoot American troops if necessary.
He's an idiot and he's evil. But he's also a coward. He will back down immediately if faced with aggressive, coordinated, international opposition. It's simple. We are your enemy. Treat us as such.
Wenn die Polizei einen Verdächtigen wegen Drogen festnimmt, aber leider keine Drogen bei ihm findet, dann darf sie nachhelfen und ihm Drogen unterschieben, die sie vor der Festnahme zufällig am Wegesrand gefunden hat. So hab ich das zumindest verstanden.

By now I'm convinced that one of the primary causes of education failing in school is that people
a) underestimate children's intelligence, while at the same time
b) setting high expectations on knowledge/experience.
Unfortunately, when they're expectations in (b) are proven wrong, they do not provide them with an appropriate definition or learning materials. Instead, they further go down (a) by lowering their estimate of the children's intelligence.
Militäroperation in Venezuela laut Trump voller Erfolg: "Keine Sau spricht mehr über die Epstein-Akten!" https://www.der-postillon.com/2026/01/epstein-venezuela.html
I'm not perplexed that kids are going round saying, "6-7."
What perplexes me is all the adults complaining that "it's annoying! I don't understand what it means!"
That. Is. The. Whole. Point.
And, moreover, that's been the point of youth slang since the dawn of time - including when you were young.
If it's any consolation, it'll happen to today's youths too. As soon as they grow up.
This sums the #VENEZUELA situation up nicely:
For anyone questioning the legality of attacking Venezuela and abducting their leader:
Remember we're talking about a highly corrupt leader, a known criminal who used his high office to make billions for himself, and has manipulated elections to stay in power, has used his military against his own citizens, has protected his corrupt friends and punished his political enemies.
And the President of Venezuela did some bad things too.
I was asked by a family member why it was taking so long to paste something large into a new Microsoft Word document on their computer, I sarcastically replied it was because it takes a while to upload it all to the copilot AI nonense first. And then I realized accidentally I might be right...I disabled copilot in Word and it went back to being instant again
So that's cool that Microsoft seems uploading everything you paste into a new Word doc to their servers now.
