#PhantastikPrompts 15.11.: Verfügst du über eine bildliche Vorstellungskraft, mentale Bilder? Wenn nicht, wie gehst du beim Beschreiben von Dingen, Personen, Orten etc. vor?
Wirklich Bilder zu erzeugen, ist bei mir aktive Arbeit und die Ergebnisse sind eher vereinfachte Cartoonzeichnungen, keine fotorealistischen Abbildungen der Realität.
Ich kompensiere mit anderen Sinnen!…

Another Western influencer has once again taken up the tired habit of recycling bourgeois narratives about Otto Warmbier and the DPRK. These discussions rarely move beyond ideological framing, serving more to reaffirm Western imperialist talking points than to uncover truth.
When Otto Warmbier was returned to the United States in a coma, his parents refused to permit an autopsy, effectively blocking a conclusive medical investigation into the cause of his condition. Even without verifi…

Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states,
warns a law enforcement bulletin issued last month by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The bureau urges agencies to ensure officers clearly identify themselves and to cooperate when civilians ask to verify an officer’s identity—including by allowing calls to a local police precinct

FBI Warns of Criminals Posing as ICE, Urges Agents to ID Themselves
In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

New York Times, AP, Others Ask Court To Block Texas Law Restricting App Downloads
"The Act renders wide swaths of speech at the very heart of the First Amendment's protection presumptively off limits to minors when accessed through apps -- a critical channel of distribution for news organizations," news organizations argue in a proposed friend-of-the-court brief filed Wednesday with U.S. District Court Judge Robert Pitman in Austin.

"We feel accountable to our religious tradition. And just as accountable to our own intuition. When we have a question or a challenge on our religious tradition, we don't abandon our religious tradition, nor do we assume a posture of submission or sacrifice towards our own intution. That is not what the Talmud does, instead, we think harder, think more critically, think more carefully." Sammanfattar bra min syn på bibeltolkning och vrf Talmud är ett så storslaget dokument

R. Aviva Richman: Why Talmud is the Bedrock of My Faith - Ta Shma
The Talmud has often been subject to misrepresentation—viewed as esoteric or overly complex—yet it holds profound power as a centerpiece of Jewish tradition. How can Talmud and Talmud study anchor an approach to Judaism that speaks to the challenges  and dangers of our moment? How can its embrace of complexity, argument, and multivocality offer a model for living a thoughtful and principled Jewish life in our uncertain times?  Source sheet: https://mechonhadar.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/…

»Du hörst auf folgendem Gerät:« — Guess what, Spotify. Ich kann HÖREN wo die Lala raus kommt, dass musst du mir nicht da hin schreiben. Aber der Künstler des aktuellen Songs, DAS wäre hilfreich. 🤦 #uxfromhell
Jaja, irgendwann scrollt da auch die Band vorbei. Dauert halt, wenn der Songtitel ein paar mehr als drei Silben hat.

These #steam "Vote for my team" phishing scams are boring, when the scammer starts ignoring your time wasting questions.
But the phishing site itself is quite clever. Fake login popup, but the shown QR code is real!
Turning your steam "2"FA app against you (if you don't verify the location and IP of the login attempt before accepting)
scan it with the steam a…

Typisch #vodafone🤮🤑 stellt eine Rechnung, am Tag wo, diese als E-Mail erscheint, ist die Rechnung nicht verfügbar, wenn es im Laufe der Tage möglich wäre, die Kack Rechnungsnummer aus PDF rauszukopieren, gerät es möglicherweise in Vergessenheit.
Eine Abbuchung wird Bürokratisch erschwert, weil ich irgendwann vor vielen Jahrzehnten den ISDN Anschluss übernommen habe, und es über Kabel Deuts…

Decades ago, "backscatter" spam email was a real problem. A spammer sent emails with dozens of addresses, many invalid. You not only got the spam, but various email bounce messages as well.
So I wrote a Procmail filter for all the various invalid email bounce messages. 20 years ago.
Fortunately I remembered this when trying to figure out why the "Please verify your email" message from the power company did not get through.

THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!
I think the SFTP server is down again. Expected files not in our INBOX and it happens on a semi-regular basis and usually after a weekend.
On my Linux box I had a very simple CHRON setup to run a specific BASH script. On my work WIN11 machine I have automated running a specific program every Monday morning checking for a specific item.
It should be trivial to do the same on the servers instead of buying software to verify that the servers are w…
