    1982 was the year we moved from the Netherlands to Germany.

    It was also the year that Janmaat got a seat in the dutch House of Representatives. His party, the Centrumpartij, was far-right. At his first day in parliament, protests were held in front of the parliament.

    Resistance fighters from WW2, people of colour, united in their protest against fascism. This clip from dutch television explains it visually and through interviews/comments. This time? Crickets :(

    Talking publicly about any cryptocurrency investments you may have -- let alone bragging about them -- strikes me as a very risky flex. We're starting to see more reports of people outside the cybercrime scene getting robbed at home, and forced at gunpoint to give up their crypto accounts or wallets. There is a LOT of room for growth here, and there are a wealth of targets or "targs" as the thieves call them.

    https://cointelegraph.com/news/canadian-police-warn-crypto-investors-home-robberies

    These attacks expose a fundamental risk of crypto: At the end of the day, YOU are the bank. For criminals, there is certainly a risk that someone can get hurt or killed in these robberies and home invasions, but the up front investment needed to carry out these muggings is practically nil, while the potential payoff is astronomical.

    @ljrk @starshine Old problem, media are not doing their job and anything anybody in Brussels says is reported as “the EU wants…”. Sometimes it’s even just a proposal from some lobbyist and they will report it as if it’s a new EU law.

    @ljrk @starshine Did you know Boris Johnson actually made a name for himself as the Brussels correspondent for a UK newspaper? But he never did any work and just simply completely made stuff up, without really getting caught. For example, he invented a story that the EU wanted to regulate the shape of bananas, which many people in the UK believe to this day.

    I get a lot of 'routine' queries from companies who haven't noticed that I'm not a company myself with a large staff to answer them. But even with my extensive experience of the genre, this deserves some kind of award:

    'As part of an internal inquiry regarding the use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) within [company], we need information on whether FOSS is present in the application "SimonTatham_PuTTY" that we have obtained from you.'

    Anyone else would worry about specks of non-FOSS!

    Israeli forces have penetrated the Gaza border more than three kilometers deep and are pushing along the coast.

    This is way too far for my taste to be just a probing attack or raid. This seems to be first permanent armored thrust into terrorist-controlled Gaza, but it is highly unlikely that this will be the only charge.

    Any website which claims that ANY cookies are "required" to just serve you static text and images is lying. Any website which claims that it needs to "verify the security of your connection" to just serve you static text and images is lying.

    The only reason any website needs to do either of these things is if it is logging data about you – data that it almost certainly hasn't asked for permission to log.

    Just. Say. No.

    mkoek,
    @mkoek@mastodon.nl avatar

    @simon_brooke The relevant EU law has a strange exception for "required" or "functional" cookies that don't need consent from the user. So all sites pretend to require cookies to be able to work. Which is, of course, a lie. No website absolutely requires cookies to work, they're just a convenience. Which is fine by the way, cookies are not evil in and of themselves. It's the conduct behind the trackers that should be regulated; cookies have valid uses.

    mkoek,
    @mkoek@mastodon.nl avatar

    @tynstar @simon_brooke There are other ways to do the same thing without cookies. But that would not be a benefit to the user. What should be allowed is ''same-site'' cookies, those are not a problem.

    mkoek,
    @mkoek@mastodon.nl avatar

    @tynstar @simon_brooke I agree but I think the focus is wrongly placed on cookies. And I stand corrected for same-site cookies -- it is, indeed, possible to submit the data to Google Analytics from the backend for example. It's the third-party data sharing that's the problem for me. Regulate behaviour, not technology.

    The modern corporate obsession with data is beyond incorrect, it's obscene.

    If I order a pizza, there's no universe where the social contract should include a follow-up email about a survey. IT'S A PIZZA. And moreover, I PAID FOR IT WITH MONEY. You are not entitled to 5 minutes of my time to fill out your fucking survey.

    Any marketer or data scientist who tells you that every pizza that gets ordered should also generate a survey request email IS FULL OF SHIT and is ABUSING YOUR CUSTOMERS.

    How does make US officials & MSM forget that Turkey, not just Iran, actively conducts training and recruitment for ?

    Shin Bet says it busted Turkey-based Hamas ring planning attacks in Israel
    article:
    "Turkey has long had close ties with the Gaza Strip-based Hamas, and hosts terror group officials and units in the country. Jerusalem has also long pressed Ankara to crack down on Hamas’s activity in Turkey,

    While in Turkey, Abu Salah was recruited by Hamas & carried out military training in Turkey and Syria. Training included “weapons training and studying the manufacturing of explosives, in order to advance terror attacks against the State of Israel,” the agency said.

    Before returning to the West Bank, Abu Salah met with senior Hamas officials in Turkey, who instructed him to recruit others for a local cell to carry out terror attacks.
    We were regularly in contact with a relative who lives in Turkey who is son of senior Hamas official."
