Wenn die US-Regierung zum VPN-Anbieter wird... 🫠
Mit freedom.gov plant die Trump-Regierung ein offizielles VPN-Portal, das Europäern ermöglichen soll, auf Inhalte zuzugreifen, die in ihren Ländern gesperrt sind. 🌐
Zum Artikel: https://heise.de/-11182385?…
«Neuer Konflikt — USA will europäische Plattformgesetze aushebeln:
In der US-Regierung wird laut einem Medienbericht ein Portal vorbereitet, mit dem EU-Bürger Sperren umgehen können. Damit droht ein neuer Konflikt»
Wie verkauft man(n) Propaganda als "Freiheit"? Klar über VPN's um seine Meinung unbegrenzt aufzuzwängen. Nein, ich bin kein Befürworter von Einschränkungen aber jegliche Propaganda wird zu oft unhinterfragt geglaubt.

The discussion around "age verification" in systemd/XDG has been largely focused against the California law. But honestly, there's a much deeper problem there.
Firstly, the data collected. The question initially asked is "are you at least 18 years old?" However, that's not the data collected. In fact, the data collected is not even the age — it's the full birth date. It's a perfect example of collecting more data than you need, and a sensitive information too, and sharing it with any application that asks.
Secondly, the extended goal of "parental controls" used as a justification to collect more data. When you think about it, you realize how bad this is: it isn't the case of asking the user about their birth date (with the assumption that a kid will enter a fake date to workaround the limitations). It is effectively a tool for *parents* to impose restrictions on their children, which means that they are more likely to enter the real date to ensure that these restrictions work. And given how popular sharenting is today, do you really think they'd come up with a fake birth date that happens to roughly match their child's age?
This is simply irresponsible.

A refund system for businesses that paid tariffs which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Trump imposed without the constitutional authority to do so is scheduled to launch Monday.
Importers and their brokers will be able to begin claiming refunds through an online portal beginning at 8 a.m., according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency administering the system.
It’s the first step in a complicated process that also might eventually lead to refunds for consumers who wer…
„Nius“ gibt sich als Gegenstimme zum Mainstream — tatsächlich funktioniert das Portal wie ein politisches Instrument. Julian Reichelt setzt auf Zuspitzung und untergräbt gezielt Vertrauen in andere Medien, um sich selbst als Alternative zu etablieren. Der SPIEGEL zeigt, wie eng das Projekt mit rechten Narrativen arbeitet.
Nähe zur AfD ist funktional, zur CDU strategisch, Glaubwürdigkeit zweitrangig.

Not enough people are talking about the rationale for systemd introducing the age field in userdbd (which is *not* mandatory and currently fully *optional*). In the very post here, it is clear that they are doing it because xdg-desktop-portal(!) is adding an age verification thingy (and potentially also accountsservice). This IMO is *far* more dangerous because those components are essential nowadays.

Sure, buddy. I believe you.
I don't know why people are suggesting cutting a massive canal through desert and mountains, when they could just do this instead.
Doctor’s office called to say the appointment I made online would take longer than 15 minutes. I am to understand that the scheduling portal doesn’t show it, but my primary care physician only has two longer slots available each day and those are booked all the way through to the end of April. Would I like to see the PA instead or reschedule?
Me: Can we break it up? Most topics are not urgent.
Them: yes but you’re only to talk about this one thing.

So I saw a new primary care doctor yesterday, had a really good in-person experience there.
I looked at the visit notes in the patient portal and it mentions (all the way at the bottom) that it uses some AI tool to generate the notes.
At least 10% of it is pure fabrication and never happened.

—standing on the deck of a ferry as it arrives at the port city, you might spot people riding on the back of a 39-foot-tall, fire-breathing creature that’s creeping along the waterfront.
Part sculpture, part machine, part puppet, the dragon has become a beloved piece of interactive street theater—but its charming ways require the devotion of an entire entourage.
Total Reload (PC) You wake up in an AI's droid body, and are quickly tasked with solving your way through the puzzle maze he's been building for millennia, with quite the lofty goal as your reward.
This is a pretty good Portal inspired FP puzzle game. Has all the things you'd expect: a disembodied "AI" talking to you, cubes, a gadgety gun, lots of rooms that require you to figure out the what the order of actions is.

It's been a grind, but I'm finally making progress on the SaaS frontend to this whole project. My idea is it can be a portal where game communities can publish their community to advertise for new members. This will tie into the existing self-hosted Warlock framework for Linux servers and will serve as a complementary service for those groups who want to advertise, (completely optional; the self-hosted project isn't changing).
Currently the idea will be to enable this service to user…

So I'm reading the changelog for the Polish railways' Passenger's Portal app (i.e. checking what they broke), and it turns out that the developers discovered compression.
I mean, the app's been updating "dictionaries" practically every single day for years (surely available stations change frequently), and they weren't even compressed! What's next? Discovering Last-Modified and refetching only if something actually changes?!
