We hebben gewoon een #teamKathmann binnen GLPvdA hard nodig. Digitale infra loopt immers door alle sectoren en facetten van de politiek heen. En het is te belangrijk om maar zo op de achtergrond te laten voortbestaan.
@…
Zal ik het op BS plaatsen? Zelfs daar laat GLPvdA zicj niet zien. Op een paar lokale afdelingen na.

Guten Morgen,
na, alle gut geschlafen?
langsam wird es ruhiger in der Arbeit, mit Abnahme der eintrudelnden Tickets steigt die Anzahl der abteilungsinternen Weihnachtsfeiern 🌲.
Bei uns im Betrieb ist es Tradition, daß alle während des Jahres neu hinzugekommenen Kollege*Innen auf der Weihnachtsfeier "Oh Tannenbaum" singen müssen, wie immer sangeskräftig unterstützt von allen anderen.
Ja, so geht's zu Ende, das Jahr ;-)
Schönen Dienstag :coffeepot…

Folks, Dr. Abdullah (@…), one of our Gaza Verified members, was working at the heart of the danger zone in Al Shifa hospital until the last minute.
He has now safely made it to the South, in part thanks to your donations during our Gaza Verified Emergency Appeal last week.
He still needs help… $500-$800 as he just told me for basic necessitie…

This article makes a strong case that the attacks on US PA systems from a few weeks back were conducted by a group with the approval of the Turkish government, if not the Turkish government itself.

The White House published a photo in which Netanyahu is seen forced by Trump to apologize to Qatari PM Al Thani while reading a piece of paper on the phone. I guess the script was 99% sure provided to him by Trump or his administration.

Day 28: Samira Ahmed
As foreshadowed, we're back to YA land, which represents a lot of what I've been enjoying from the library lately.
I've read "Hollow Fires", "This Book Won't Burn", and "Love, Hate, and other Filters" by Ahmed, along with "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" which is quite different. All four are teen ~romances with interesting things to say about racism & growing up as a South Asian Muslim, but whereas the first three are set in small-town Indiana, the third is set in France and includes a historical fiction angle involving Dumas and a hypothetical Muslim woman who was (in this telling) the inspiration for several Lord Byron poems.
Ahmed's novels all include a strong and overt theme of social justice, and it's refreshing to see an author not try to wade around the topic or ignore it. Her romances are complex, with imperfect protagonists and endings that aren't always "happily ever after" although they're satisfying and believable.
My library has a plethora of similar authors I've been enjoying, including Adiba Jaigirdar (who appeared earlier in this list), Sabaa Tahir ("All my Rage" is fantastic but I'm less of a fan of her fantasy stuff), Sabina Khan ("The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali"), and Randa Abdel-Fattah ("Does My Head Look Big In This?"; from an earlier era). Ahmed gets the spot here because I really like her politics and the way she works them into her writing. Her characters are unapologetic advocates against things like book bans, and Ahmed doesn't second-guess them or try to make things more palatable for those who want to ban books (or whatever). Her historical fiction in "Mad..." is also really cool in terms of "huh that could actually totally be true" and grappling with literary sexism from ages past.

Benefits and Limitations of Using GenAI for Political Education and Municipal Elections
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) presents both challenges and opportunities across all areas of education. Facing the municipal elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, the Young AI Leaders in Dortmund asked themselves: Could GenAI be used to make political programs more accessible, in order to facilitate political education? To explore respective potentials and limitations, we therefore performed an experimental study that combines different GenAI approaches. Language models were used to…

Fine-grained CDN Delegation
The use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) has significantly increased over the past decade, with approximately 55 million websites currently relying on CDN services. Emerging solutions, such as Delegated Credentials (RFC 9345), lack fine-grained definitions of many critical aspects of delegation, such as the length of delegation chains, revocation mechanism, permitted operations, and a well-defined scope for said delegation. We present Delegation Certificates (DeCerts), which modify X.509 cer…
