This article is sickening to read. It perfectly encapsulates the disgusting horror of consumer capitalism at its very worst while presenting the stark difference in reality between the Global North and South.

if a t-shirt is 100% cotton, it can be recycled as rags. The real issue is plastic clothes.

Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:

Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.

Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.

Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.

i suppose the exclamation mark might be for a water signature because I would think temperature differences at different elevations would be expected.

Sąd (New Jersey) nakazał śledczym ujawnienie informacji dotyczących systemu rozpoznawania twarzy, który "zidentyfikował" sprawcę napadu. Dotyczy to także danych o skali błędnych wskazań. Sąd uznał, że efektywność systemu nie jest potwierdzona, a oskarżony - pozbawiony dostępu do danych - miał ograniczone możliwości obrony. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/06/victory-new-jersey-court-rules-police-must-give-defendant-facial-recognition

Wyboru do PE 2024: posłowie chcą zakazu tik toka


W związku z wyborami do PE w 2024 roku europosłowie spodziewają się zwiększonej ingerencji i manipulacji ze strony państw trzecich, zwłaszcza ze Chin i Rosji. Zalecają zakazanie TikToka na wszystkich szczeblach władzy w państwach członkowskich, a także w instytucjach UE.
Podobne zastrzeżenia budzą inne firmy związane z rosyjskich i chińskim rynkiem: Huawei, ZTE, Kaspersky czy NtechLab (firma odpowiedzialna za kontrowersyjne oprogramowanie do automatycznego rozpoznawania twarzy)

As the #Ukraine offensive unrolls, #Russia intensified its disinformation campaign on previously unseen levels, here's just two examples of decent quality fakes that many Ukrainian and Western groups happily shared and discussed... Don't believe anything posted in low quality, all these 640×480 "drone videos" can be dismissed as fakes straight away. Don't believe any still frames "taken from UAV videos" unless a video has been also published in high quality. Be very careful about drawing any conclusions about anything else and remember during the Izyum campaign Russians were also confidently claiming they control the front firmly.
Fake: 2023 photo of a Leopard tank burning on a dirt road. In reality, the Leopard figure was copied onto an older photo of a damaged T72. Fake: Russian helicopters destroying two Leopard tanks. It's a real 2022 video but the targets were not tanks but John Deere combine harvesters.
Original: 2022 photos of a T72 tank burning in Kherson

You want SKYNET? This is how you get SKYNET:

The US Air Force tested an AI enabled drone that was tasked to destroy specific targets. A human operator had the power to override the drone—and so the drone decided that the human operator was an obstacle to its mission—and attacked the operator. When it was expressly forbidden to kill the operator, it destroyed the operators communications net, effectively freeing itself to carry out its original directives.

Why are so many climate scientists so scared and so angry?

Maybe it's because they know better than most of us how bad our situation today truly is, and how horribly we've been betrayed by our so-called leaders.

Here's an excerpt from an excellent piece on this subject by Alan Urban...
_____________________________

Even if the planet stopped getting warmer right now, we would still be in big trouble. The ice caps would keep melting and sea levels would keep rising.

Look at what’s happening at a mere 1.2°C of warming. We’re already seeing some of the worst heat waves in human history, not to mention record-breaking floods, droughts, wildfires, and water shortages.

But of course, warming isn’t going to stop at 1.2°C. Because of the heat we’ve already trapped in the atmosphere, and because we continue to emit huge amounts of greenhouse gases every year, the climate is warming exponentially.

All of these climate-related crises are stretching farms to the limit, yet this is just the beginning. As crop yields decline and the population grows, we will see food insecurity get worse and worse until we’re in a global famine.

And that right there is why climate scientists are scared. They understand that human civilization was born during the Holocene, when global temperatures were very stable and stayed within a range of about 1°C.

As we push the planet out of that range and raise the temperature about 50 times faster than would occur naturally, it will become harder and harder to produce enough food to feed everyone, and this will lead to social instability, political upheaval, the worst migration crisis ever, and wars over resources.

Disasters that weren’t supposed to happen until we reached 1.5°C are happening now, so we can only imagine what will happen when we hit 2° or 3°C.

This is why top scientists from around the world are warning us that we face a ghastly future filled with untold suffering. They’ve been telling us over and over, year after year, summit after summit, that we have to stop burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible. But as you can see [below], the world keeps ignoring them.

@RD4Anarchy We kind of do. But even the liberal concept of it is separable from capitalist and colonialist notions. It's not that I think humanity benefits, it's more that fee simple ownership can be made just, if none are without property. If everybody owns some piece of land and a home to live in. If large landholdings are treated as ipso facto unjust. @breadandcircuses @HeavenlyPossum @TobiWanKenobi @GeofCox @axre @MarkRNay @Dialectician @AdrianRiskin @jCarttarBrooke @yma

@MarkRNay

Who suggested going back to HG bands? This is such a cliché (even seemingly scripted) response from certain people anytime it is even suggested that people have had different ways of organizing themselves, as if there has only ever been modern industrial capitalism or HG bands, nothing else ever existed 🤷‍♂️

I was only making the point that your blanket statement of supposed absolute fact was historically incorrect.

I'm taken aback that you can so cavalierly rattle off shit like cars and iPhones as unquestioned benefits of living a life that makes violently enforced demands on the labor of others as it destroys our biosphere. This is just stunning.

I never tire of reading about the absolute shipwreck that is Uber.

"Uber also covertly operated the microphones in its drivers' phones to listen for the chimes the Lyft app made: drivers who had both Lyft and Uber installed on their devices were targeted for (strictly temporary) bonuses."

Wonderful. More generally, as @pluralistic puts it Uber "invented algorithmic wage disrimination, an exciting new field of labor-law violations".

Dzień, w którym Filadelfia zbombardowała własnych obywateli.


Mówiona historia policyjnego zamachu bombowego z 1985 r., który na zawsze zmienił miasto.

Wieczorem 13 maja 1985 r. doszło do straszliwego wybuchu długotrwałych napięć między grupą wyzwolenia czarnych MOVE a Departamentem Policji Filadelfii. Tej nocy władze miejskie Filadelfii zrzuciły bombę plecakową, ładunek burzący używany zwykle na polu bitwy, wypełniony Tovexem i C-4, na społeczność MOVE, która mieszkała w szeregowcu w zachodniej Filadelfii, o którym wiadomo było, że jest zamieszkany przez mężczyzn, kobiety i dzieci. Dom stanął w płomieniach, których nie gaszono. Zginęło jedenaście osób, w tym pięcioro dzieci i założyciel organizacji. Zniszczeniu uległo 61 domów, a ponad 250 mieszkańców zostało bez dachu nad głową.

They'll remind us once again about all those delicious carbon offsets that are going to save the world for capitalism and consumerism, allowing endless growth forever and ever. No need to worry, they'll say, we've got everything under control! 😃

In this one-panel cartoon, a pair of gangsters are about to throw a captive, whose feet are encased in concrete, to his death off the end of a pier. A couple of cheerful-looking police officers are questioning the gangsters about what they're up to. The head gangster shows a certificate to the police, and says, "Relax, officer! What looks like a potential homicide has actually been OFFSET, with the purchase of tradable life credits from our local surf life-saving club!" A smiling police officer responds, "Looks like we're on track for NET-ZERO MURDERS by 2050!"

TROM II: A Message to The Aliens (trailer)


We live in a world where everyone is busy, everyone is consumed, everyone seems confused. Money, social credits, ads, data collection, prices and billionaires. Climate change? Who cares!

A one-marble world, floating in a giant soup of stars and planets, clustered in donut-shaped galaxies.

What are these humans living for?

In a 5 hour, 4 parts documentary, we try to explore their world, to understand what makes them human, what makes them enslave their kind, destroy their habitat, and be unaware of their place in this universe. But also what makes them so special.

Through the lives of 5 humans, we look at the culture that creates them, their struggles growing up on this planet, and where they are headed toward.

A group of 18 European Parliament Members have issued a statement officially calling for #Degrowth.

Here is part of what they wrote...
______________________________

We believe that the current economic model, based on endless growth, has reached its limits.

Firstly, continuous economic growth, especially based on the consumption of fossil fuels, is leading to catastrophic global warming.

Secondly, the infinite pursuit of growth relies on the depletion of natural resources, the destruction of biodiversity, and the accumulation of waste and pollution. This also poses risks to our health, our economies, and our societies writ large.

Thirdly, the current economic model is contributing to social inequality and exclusion. The emphasis on economic growth has not translated into equal distribution of wealth or opportunities. Instead, it has resulted in a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few leaving many behind.

Fourthly, the current economic model is inherently unstable and prone to crises, as seen, for example, during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The pursuit of growth at all costs has created a global economic system that is fragile and vulnerable to shocks.

We need an economic system that prioritises human well-being and ecological sustainability over GDP growth, one that recognises that infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible.

We also believe we need to find new ways of organising our economies without relying on the continuous exploitation of resources and the constant increase in production and consumption.

We call for more pluralism in economic thinking within EU institutions and for its alignment with the scientific evidence of climate, ecological, and social sciences.

We call for economic models and other decision-support tools to be more diverse, more comprehensive, and more readable for citizens.

We call for decision-making processes to be aligned with our common policy objectives rather than on the basis of the variation of GDP figures.
