Fake-News über Staatsstreich: Präsident Macron zürnt Facebook
Ein millionenfach angesehenes KI-Video erfindet einen Staatsstreich. Sogar andere Staatschefs fallen rein. Facebook sperrt es nicht. Macron sucht Abhilfe.

And you don't need to accept the trap of authoritarian masculinity on logic alone, the proof is right there in male influencers like Andrew Tate and their followers. These dipshits get so obsessed with gatekeeping they don't realize that the gates they're tending keep them in, that the more walls they put up to protect their privilege, the smaller their identity can be. They huddle in tiny pens, terrified of crossing imaginary bounds that they imposed *on themselves.*
They have built their own torture chambers and locked themselves inside, and for what? They turn themselves into dragons, hoarding what they see as valuable while repressing every emotion including joy. And if they let themselves experience joy, they would, perhaps, realize that all these privileges are inconsistent with it. They might, perhaps, recognize that they have built up these privileges so they don't have to admit that their suffering and fear are not, in fact, admirable. They might have to face the fact that they have lived lives that are deeply pathetic, might have to face the fact that only empathy can give one access to deep satisfaction, might have to face the fact that they have lived their whole lives on a treadmill, going nowhere.
But I assume that they won't ever do that, because to do so would force them to face the enormity of the emotional debt, the pain and suffering they have inflicted on the world, and those are big feelings. It's far easier to hide in a hole, forever alone, making up silly rules to keep everyone inside scared and keep everyone outside from seeing in.

"The [resonant computing] Manifesto promises to fix everything that’s wrong on the internet right now. But you look at the authors and the signers, you’ll see the same guys who caused the present problems. These guys made it rich on the Torment Nexus and they’re now claiming they can fix it."

Back in the 1990s, in the first flowering of the World Wide Web, the Silicon Valley guys were way into their manifestos. “A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace”! The “Cluetrain Manifesto!…

Kender I podcasten The Europeans? Jeg har arbejdet på at erstatte min diæt af amerikanske politiske podcasts med danske eller europæiske og er blevet rigtig glad for deres nede-på-jorden men samtidig grundige gennemgang af europæiske nyheder. Og de har et udsyn jeg kan lide, se fx denne anbefaling fra dem:
“So go get your beautifully designed copies of the European Review of Books or even take out a subscription if you're feeling generous.
Because they're another independent pan-Eur…

Europa steht an einem Wendepunkt. In der kommenden Woche präsentiert die EU-Kommission ihre Vorschläge zur Vereinfachung ihrer Digital- und Datengesetze. Das ist die historische Chance, unsere europäische Wirtschaft endlich vom lähmenden Regulierungsballast zu befreien.

La Turquie risque de perdre toute une partie de sa jeunesse, ni employée, ni scolarisée, ni en formation
Plusieurs rapports ont mis en lumière le décrochage vertigineux de l’enseignement supérieur turc et, en corollaire, celui de toute une génération, un tiers des 18-24 ans n’étant ni employés, ni scolarisés, ni en formation.

i have not looked into it, but there has to be something fishy about those drones flying in the sky with lights as a replacement for fireworks and doing cool symbols. they're too good to be true. something about it gotta be wrong that's just always the case
