  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 cur...

  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...

  RE: https://mastodon.ie/@ciaranmak/117438698166365017 So, if you’re looking to enact useful regulation, @EUCommission, instead of eroding our fundamental freedoms though chat control, etc., regulate to make this sort of thing illegal (the game, not the reverse engineering – sadly, I do have to point that out as they’re not the brightest bulbs in the batch.)

  “The order to restrict Ukraine’s military-grade Starshield satellite communications system came directly from inside the White House, according to a Reuters investigation published Thursday, Oct. 15, revealing that Washington moved to limit technology essential to Ukraine’s battlefield operations and defense against Russian drones.” https://www.kyivpost.com/post/87219

  Hey folks, @Aseelsehwel@mas.to has received an offer from University College Birmingham and is trying to find someone from the admissions team or an academic member of staff who could advise her on her situation, particularly regarding the UK government’s requirements for evacuating students from Gaza and whether the university could offer any flexibility with the financial deadlines she’s been given.

  Dear @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de, As an active member, I’d like to know what action will be taken against LinuxIsBest – the person mentioned below – and his account. He is using Codeberg to spread Zionist lies about Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org) and attempting to get people to mass block verified accounts of people on the fediverse facing genocide in Gaza at the hands of Israel. As an anti-fascist organisation, I can only assume this goes against what we hold to be acceptable beh...

  Enforcing artificial scarcity when we finally have the technological capability to become post-scarcity is what’s leading us into a future of true scarcity. And if you think artificial scarcity is bad; wait till you experience true scarcity. It’s not going to be fun. You think the petrol wars are bad? Wait till the water wars. All easily avoidable. But we’d clearly rather have billionaires than a sustainable future.

  Tech bros are like “I built this!” Dude, you didn’t build diddly. The labour your capital captured built it; you just took credit and made sure the resulting work was kept out of the commons. The only thing you did was enclose human potential to benefit the few instead of the many. This is what capitalists do: they reduce human potential into a resource to be farmed within a zero-sum game, thus stealing from all the possible other futures of humanity.

  Oh for fuck’s sake, people! Capitalism is an extinction threat. Corporations are an extinction threat. Militarism and religious lunacy are existential threats. Tech in the hands of, created for the purposes of, and being employed for the benefit of these institutions is an existential threat. No, the fancy autocomplete built on stolen labour isn’t going to bring about the end of the human race. But while your attention is being misdirected there, all those other things just might. Both directl...

  I hope you never have to suffer from genocide while some toffs on the other side of the planet debate whether we should call it a genocide or not.

  “In ‘The Last of Us’ universe, rising temperatures cause Cordyceps to evolve and adapt to human body temperatures. Concerningly, this somewhat parallels real life. Climate change is another risk factor for fungal diseases that has given rise to a worrisome pathogen. ‘What does concern me as an infectious disease physician is a relatively new fungus called Candida auris,’ says Roberts. ‘This fungus spreads person-to-person, which hasn’t really been reported before.’ First identified in 2009, the...

Every country involved belonged to the Global South.” https://archive.is/20260926051556/https://www.thenational.scot/politics/26583834.benjamin-netanyahus-un-spee...
