Firmensprecher: Varta verliert Apple als Kunden
Bei Varta in Nördlingen fällt der „Ankerkunde“ weg: Der iPhone-Hersteller will keine Batterien mehr kaufen. Die Hintergründe sind unklar.

Ich gehöre einem Verein an, bei dem es für kleines Geld anwaltlichen Rat von Rechtsanwältïnnen gibt. Dazu bucht man im Voraus ein Beratungsfenster.
Nun ist es gleich zweimal vorgekommen, dass mich die Anwälte mit einer 40-minütigen Verspätung angerufen haben. Beide Male ist man auf die enorme Verspätung mit keinem Wort eingegangen, unabhängig davon, ob ich neutral oder verärgert war. 1/2

I've seen a bunch of "the CA age verification law is the best way to do a bad thing and so we shouldn't oppose compliance" takes, which others are rightly pointing out is a bad stance because it's blindingly obvious that compliance now sets the stage for compliance later and the clearly set up later is mandatory verification of age data. Even if you think that, for example, California's current "progressive" government won't go there, we're all currently seeing just how easy it is for a new government to pick up the oppressive tools the "good" government was using "restraint" with and put them to worse ends.
On the other hand, I'll freely admit that distros *do* need a way to shield themselves from liability right now. The clear (to me; IANAL) correct solution is to say on your website "don't download this OS if you're in a jurisdiction where it's not legal for us to provide it."). Assuming this does put you in the clear liability-wise, it has several positive effects:
- Stops zero people from downloading it.
- Makes it clear that your project will not collaborate with fascists/oppressive regime enjoyers.
- Means that when the next law makes verifying user ages mandatory (and/or explicitly requires using Palantir-adjacent services to do so) you've already got a strategy in place and there's no need for a "debate" in your "community" about compliance.
- Gets users more practice with "the law is malicious/needlessly bureaucratic/oppressive; let's ignore it" which to be honest people in general clearly desperately need at this point.
- Is the most effective political move if you want to resist the way things are going. Forcing the other side to explain why "California bans Linux" is good rhetorical strategy. Make *them* try to explain "well it's actually not so harmful since we let users set it themselves" and answer your follow-up "but what if next year the requirements change; I just refuse to go along with this slippery slope stuff and I'm not bothered if that means you want to *ban* me."

Why do headlines phrase "can be given access to" as "has access" when they *know* there's a lot anxiety about both AI and third-party access to personal data?

I made a little very specific program that you probably only need if you are me.
I keep getting sidetracked during work. With nobody to judge me and nothing to interrupt my tangents I do a lot of interesting things throughout the day but none of them are the work I am supposed to do.
This little message will pop up at regular time intervals and ask me if I'm doing work right now. I have to answer honestly. The time interval is shortened/lengthened based on my answer.

It’s been a full year since my last drink.
I get asked "why" a lot, and the answer is easy: because my well-being is worth more than a drink. The impact on my body and mental health has been night and day.
Looking forward to another year of choosing myself.
Here’s to the next 365 days of staying strong. 🥂✨ (with sparkling water, of course!)
