Breaking news: #chatcontrol stryks från agendan till dagens COREPER II (representerar för EUs regeringar) möte! Det betyder att Belgien som ordförandeland inte känner att de har tillräckligt stöd för sitt kompromissförslag. Motståndet har effekt och det ger oss lite mer tid.
Chat control är en så ofattbart usel idé www.dn.se/ledare/varld...
Fortfarande tid att kampanja!

But the next attempt will come. The critical governments need to get their act together now:

17 June 1942 | SS men shot 120 Polish prisoners at the Death Wall in #Auschwitz I. They were selected from those deported to the camp from Warsaw, Krakow, Tarnów, Radom, and Lublin.
One of them was a brickmaker from Marki Edward Rabczyński (np. 22869).
One of some 140,000 Poles incarcerated in Auschwitz.
Learn about the creation of the camp, reasons for the incarceration of Poles & their fate in the German Nazi camp from our online lesson "Poles at KL Auschwitz”: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/en_2020_06_polacy/
📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities
It occurred to me that I nowadays think about Youtube videos in about the same way that Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction thinks about eating filthy animals.

Them: "Check out this youtube video!"
Me: "I don't watch youtube videos."
Them: "But this youtube video is good!"
Me: "Hey, that video may be sweet as pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I don't touch that filthy motherfucking website. Youtube is a Google site, so it's filthy. I don't visit filthy websites."

"Facket Vårdförbundet har sagt nej till medlarnas bud i den pågående vårdkonflikten. Fackordförande Sineva Ribeiro säger att medlemmarna måste få ett bättre bud när det gäller arbetstidsförkortning för att de ska avsluta strejken."

Bra att de strejkar! Det är väldigt dåligt för samhället, inte minst för patienter i vården, att vårdpersonal har så dåliga villkor när de gör ett så extremt viktigt jobb.
Samma gäller lärare också, lärare borde också strejka mer.
Now there is a new version of my paper: "Ticket-based multi-strand method for increased efficiency in proof-of-work based blockchains": https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.09531
See Section 3.1 about the change that was made compared to the earlier version. The new version also has a bit more discussion about related work.
The idea was discussed in #MoneroTopia episode 166: https://www.monerotalk.live/monerotopia-166?t=11795
