Israel is preparing to annex the whole of the West Bank right now.
yessterday, Netanyahu flew to Hebron in a flak jacket and promised to destroy entire neighbourhoods and build settlements on the ruins in a military operation larger than we’ve seen in decades.

"Partners":
#MAGAmerica is the ally of russia, it is the enemy of the free and democratic world and in this war explicitly the enemy of Ukraine.
Actual they are limiting the speed of drone connected to them to 60mph, which disables any useful way to use drones.
Also they have stopped to report ballistic missile to Ukraine, so MAGAmerica is actively fighting together with russia(orclandia) against Ukraine.
#USA / #MAGAMerica: Shame! Shame! Shame!
#EU put starlink on the sanctions-list with stopping them from operating i n EU at all, if they not go back to allow Ukraine to defend against orcland.

the French people are burning the streets because it's the only language the state understands.
The lesson that France is currently teaching is one that applies far beyond its borders, and spectacle readers in Britain, in Ireland, in the United States, in every country where the same austerity and the same contempt and the same degradation of public services is being imposed by governments with no mandate and no answers, should be paying close attention. The French are demonstrating something that is easy to forget when you are watching from inside a system that has been designed to make organised resistance feel futile: the state does not respond to reason alone. It does not move because of petitions or polite letters or even electoral pressure, because all of those things can be absorbed, delayed, managed, and eventually forgotten. It responds to disruption, to the credible assertion that the country cannot function normally while its people are being ignored, and the French people have been making that assertion, with remarkable consistency and remarkable discipline, for weeks.
They let the ambulances through. They block the roads and then they open them for the fire trucks and then they close them again, because they understand that their anger is not directed at the people the state is also failing to protect. They have chosen their targets carefully, and their message is clear. The system that is telling you there is no money for schools spent billions on war. The government that is cutting your pension sent its children to private school. The state that fires tear gas at 14-year-olds is the same state that has an answer for every question except the ones that matter.
"Usually, the GDPR permits processing for specific purposes (e.g. retention for tax records or fraud prevention). However, the agreed Article 88c (or Article 88bis) legitimises an entire technology. Regardless of the purpose for which it is used, any AI system could lawfully take any personal data by default. For example, the proposed Article would also permit the training and use of AI for manipulation, disinformation, the generation of nude images or killer drones, and indeed any other questionable purpose. Many processing operations that were so far illegal could suddenly become legal – just because they are done “in the context” of an AI system. For example, data processing for personal advertising purposes (without consent) is currently illegal in the EU. Now, however, advertising could suddenly become legal if it is personalised using AI technology.
Max Schrems: “It’s like saying anything goes – no matter what you do – as long as it’s done with AI. If something is illegal in an Excel spreadsheet, it's legal if done with an AI agent. It’s utterly absurd to give preferential treatment to a high-risk technology over every other computer system.”"

Hi Mastodon! 👋 I’m Andrej, a student from Slovakia building Culacc on my own: cloud storage hosted in Germany, where files open in Google Docs, Office, Canva or built-in editors, and every save is kept as a version.
I’ll post about building it solo, what works and what doesn’t in marketing, and real numbers along the way.

RE: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117495606576800262
We can’t fight these fires one by one (of course we must right now). The long term solution:
Strip the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu of its legislative power and give it to the EU Parliament where it belongs. No idea how you’d even start that process, though. If this overlaps your area of expertise, please feel free to pipe up or to take the initiative (with no illusions that this will happen overnight).
(The EU Parliament is currently a toy parliament. The only parliament in the world that cannot legislate.)

Hey, @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu, fuck you too.

On Wednesday, EU Member States approved a change to the GDPR that would put the profit-making interests of OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX over European's fundamental right to data protection. According to the approved text, processing personal data “in the context of AI” should automatically be lawful. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens “in the context” of AI. Schrems: “Under the agreed text, the profits of AI companies would typically trump European’s fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans.”
