🇩🇪 75 Jahre #Grundgesetz – und #CDU-Frau von der Leyen höhlt es über die EU Schritt für Schritt aus. #Zensursula’s EU-Kommission hat in den letzten fünf Jahren auf den Weg gebracht:
🇬🇧 Ursula von der Leyen has been continuously eroding our fundamental rights. In the past five years, her EU Commission proposed:
❌the end of private messaging and secure encryption #ChatControl
❌introducing unique citizen identifiers #eID
❌a working group to resurrect indiscriminate #DataRetention#EUGoingDark
❌essentially unchanged online tracking & micro-targeting practices #DSA#politicalAds
❌legalising #Europol's unlawful bulk data collection practices
❌ultra-fast cross-border online content removals without court orders #TERREG
❌allowing for #biometricMassSurveillance in the #AIAct
❌granting industry access to our #healthdata without our consent #EHDS
Von der Leyen’s Europe needs digital freedom fighters! #Pirates
Sounds like a bad joke joke but the EU governing council wants to once again legislate #chatcontrol for it's 350 million citizens. According to @echo_pbreyer (EU parlamentarian) the legislation wants to force messengers to prevent users from sending images or videos unless they agree them to be scanned, AI-analyzed and potentially reported to police. They apparently want to bring it up for a council vote in two days and get it through parliament in June.

@delegatevoid@echo_pbreyer It is easy to bring lots of technical arguments why #chatcontrol is a bad idea. But even if it were technically possible, it would be a catastrophic idea. No government should have an automated surveillance capability built into all private communications -- and images and videos are very much a core part of private communications. Pushing for such automated surveillance of private communications arguably surpasses Iran, Russia and other countries's control efforts.
Stellt euch vor jeder eurer Briefe ob privat, geschäftlich oder Firmenpost wird vor euren Augen geöffnet, gelesen und ausgewertet. Habt ihr dann immer noch nichts zu verbergen? #Chatkontrolle#chatkontrolleverhindern
Got unreasonably excited about this new, incredibly straightforward count-distinct algorithm. The CVM algorithm is a direct replacement for HyperLogLog, it nerd-sniped Donald Knuth for weeks, and it can easily be taught in an entry-level CS course.
Ich bekomme Post von der Elternvertretung. Wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe, dann müssen die Eltern jetzt Tablets für ihre Kinder kaufen. Genannt wird das "Get your own device", was sich übersetzen lässt zu: "Bezahle für Schulmateriailien." In einem Land überdurcschnittlicher Biuldungsungleichheit genau der richtige Ansatz. Man freut sich in Köln-Kalk.
Das Ganze beruht auf einem Beschluss der schwarz-grünen Landesregierung und der Kultusministerin Feller (CDU).
People who sign up for your beta or buy your game in early access are way more likely to forgive problems than people who buy the game on 50% sale. If early adopters mention a "small problem", take it seriously.
unfortunately i have covid-19, for the first time ever. it is symptomatic with cough and fever (don't know the temperature though for lack of tool at home). it's good that i cancelled everything this week, but my company is impacted and things will be delayed.
A question for #electronics and #retrocomputing experts - how many transistors does a 74HCT00 quad NAND gate chip have? A trivial implementation should have four MOSFETs per NAND gate, but I guess there are some more transistors used as drivers etc.?
