@stiefkind@mastodon.socialMein Vater war (guter) Kunde im Mitarbeiter-Shop des Unternehmens, bei dem er 2004 nach 35 Jahren Betriebszugehörigkeit in Rente ging. Zuletzt hat er dort 2018 oder 2019 eingekauft, im Januar 2023 ist er verstorben. Ich habe den Shop mehrfach darüber informiert. Kurz vor Weihnachten erneut Werbepost an die Adresse des im Frühjahr 2022 verkauften Elternhauses. Ich überlege jetzt, mal den Datenschutzzuständigen ausfindig zu machen und anzufragen, ob das da alles DSGVO-konform abläuft.

@chrysn@chaos.socialStarting the year with a drive-by contribution to the hamster time tracker.
I find that noteworthy because I'm going back to the time tracker I enjoyed using until 2018, when due to the project announcing EoL (IIRC) I switched to charmtimetracker.
Now that too is EoL since 2023, but hamster development did continue after 2018, so hey, could have saved myself a lot of annoyance by sticking with the software I like and patching it up where needed.

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyDutch far-right leader Wilders is losing ground. After his failed government coalition, followed by an election defeat for his PVV (going from 37 seats in 2023 to 26 in 2025), 7 out of his 26 MPs are now jumping ship. That leaves 19, half the number of 2.5 years ago.

@cdarwin@c.imI was violently snatched on March 21, 2023, from the outskirts of Baghdad, where I had been conducting fieldwork for my Ph.D. at Princeton University.
When my kidnappers delivered me to my cell, they cut the restraints they’d placed around my arms and legs, and lifted the cloth bag off my head.
The secret prison where I was brought was run by Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia backed by Iran.
Four men searched my mouth for implanted tracking devices.

Das Landgericht sieht auch hier eine „bedenkliche Argumentation“, die Personen von „zulässigem juristischen Vorgehen“ abhalten könne.“

@bobmueller@mastodon.worldThe article is from a few years ago, but the problem still persists. The Robert Roberson case in Texas is a perfect example. "Everybody knows" that shaken baby syndrome kills kids. But the reality is that the science isn't settled. But it's painfully difficult to break the throttlehold that some things have on the court system.

Die Gründe sind die russische Invasion in der Ukraine und dadurch schwindendes Interesse für den Klimawandel.
