Get flock banned at a local level.
Get to protests on a bicycle or a bus. Carpool if you must.
Any tips for quickly breaking or ruining these?
I have a 5W laser I was going to try, but someone made a good point that random reflections / refractions could harm a nearby innocent person.
I debated a paintball gun, but that damage isn't really permanent enough.
The issue is you might take out a few, but you'll still get followed by the other "active" ones.
My state has flocks on every major interstate from one side to the other. I just talked to a cop recently that managed to track a suspect down from NEOH to somewhere in KY where the state police were waiting for him when he crossed state lines.
Unless we completely get rid of all flock cameras, we're screwed.
Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"
A Valve artist has defended AI disclosures on storefronts like Steam, saying they only scare those with "low effort" products.
like this
Which demos? Those are long dead on Steam. Demos are now basically paid early access releases...
It's one of the quality indicators. Just like the game engine. E.g. I know Bethesda games will have shit performance and be bug ridden because they use Creation Engine.
They don't list whether the game was written in c++ or c# because it makes no difference.
Sure they do. That's what game engine disclosure does.
(Probably not true of AAA)
I guess the situation is a bit better since their 2024 overhaul, but it's mostly limited to indie devs not like before demos were used by every single studio and publisher as a marketing tool to allow people actually playtest the game not only to see if the game is interesting but also it's performance on your machine.
itch.io still beats Steam into ground in this area.

Feeling brave: made a blueberry stout
Had some leftovers from a sahti x stout run I recently made for a birthday bash. Not enough of the crucial Viking Malt Chocolate Light to replay the well-received recipe, though, and the hops box was on its last crumbs of whathaveyou. I decided this is the time to be brave...
Bought a bag of frozen blueberries (200 g). Mashed a dark brew with a colourful ensemble of malts (Simpsons Maris Otter pale, Simpsons Premium English caramalt, Viking Black malt and Chocolate Light, and Tuoppi rye caramel malt). Infused the blueberries in 1,5 L of water (no boiling) with 20 g of Amarillo pellets. Realised my only option for first hops was Citra – well at least it's high in alphas, in we go at T minus 45 minutes. Brought the infusion to boil and added to the wort at 20 minutes. Scraped the last of a Kent Goldings bag for a 15 min addition.
I've never been a fan of beer with seasonings, so this is quite the experiment. We'll see what kind of animal comes out the tap in due time.
And what is total volume?
We had 200g/L of blueberries in mead (which is quite clean) and that was OK, but with hops and all this amount might be lost.
We've made belgian style witbier with bilberries from forest recently. Those are still maturing, will post about them later. It was about 150g/L, which was quite balanced against witbier.
21 L in total... so probably not a great deal of blueberriness is to be expected after looking at your numbers 😁 I was going for a nuance, but might not get even as much.
Years ago in heady engineering student days we made blueberry wine (while stationed at a nuclear power plant revision, naughty!) and the taste still lingers, in a good way. Maybe I'll try your numbers later 😀

Waymo Forced to Halt Overnight Operations As Punishment for Causing Nonstop Ruckus
Waymo might be expanding its autonomous taxi services to northern cities like Minneapolis and Detroit, but back in Santa Monica, the company’s strained relationship with local residents has reached a breaking point.According to the Santa Monica Daily Press, the city council has issued a formal demand that Waymo end overnight operations at two charging facilities there. City counselors unanimously approved the measure, which doesn’t mention Waymo by name, but instead orders two lots the company uses to charge and dispatch vehicles to cease nighttime operations.

We put the new pocket-size vinyl format to the test—with mixed results
We recently looked at Tiny vinyl, a new miniature vinyl single format developed through a collaboration between a toy industry veteran and the world’s largest vinyl record manufacturer. The 4-inch singles are pressed in a process nearly identical to standard 12-inch LPs or 7-inch singles, except everything is smaller. They have a standard-size spindle hole and play at 33⅓ RPM, and they hold up to four minutes of music per side.Several smaller bands, like The Band Loula and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and some industry veterans like Blake Shelton and Melissa Etheridge, have already experimented with the format. But Tiny Vinyl partnered with US retail giant Target for its big coming-out party this fall, with 44 exclusive titles launching throughout the end of this year.

Israel is now at the centre of a Republican civil war
When Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, the far-right Georgia congresswoman who rose to prominence as one of his most loyal allies, on November 15, many dismissed it as just another episode of political theatre. But the moment marks something far more significant than a personal falling-out. It reveals a deepening civil war inside the Republican Party over who will lead the conservative movement after Trump, and over what “America First” should really mean.
The dividing issue is no longer simply immigration or the economy. It is foreign policy, and at the heart of it lies Israel. For the first time in recent decades, the Republican Party is publicly fighting over whether Washington’s unconditional support for Israel truly serves American interests. This fight is reshaping the American right and could redefine how the United States engages with the Middle East. For countries in the region, especially those seeking a just peace for Palestine, this split offers a rare opportunity to engage with a changing political landscape in Washington.

A Terrible and Avoidable Tragedy in D.C. [gift ink]
Before an Afghan refugee, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, yesterday shot and seriously injured two National Guard members who had been deployed by President Donald Trump to Washington, D.C., military commanders had warned that their deployment represented an easy “target of opportunity” for grievance-based violence. The troops, deployed in an effort to reduce crime, are untrained in law enforcement; their days are spent cleaning up trash and walking the streets in uniform. Commanders, in a memo that was included in litigation challenging the high-visibility mission in D.C., argued that this could put them in danger. The Justice Department countered that the risk was merely “speculative.” It wasn’t. There are costs to performatively deploying members of the military—one of which is the risk of endangering them.Lakanwal’s exact motives are still unknown; he worked for the CIA during the Afghan War. He is now in custody but apparently refusing to speak. Trump offered a predictable response to the shooting: pausing immigration for anyone from Afghanistan, a move that conveniently ignored how Lakanwal had gotten to the United States. He came as part of Operation Allies Welcome, admitted for his assistance to U.S. troops, and was reportedly granted asylum status after vetting by the Trump administration earlier this year.

I made a KDE Plasma theme to look like Windows 98 [EDIT: new version]
EDIT: v0.8 releasing soon
and a dark version
- forked aurorae (window decorations) to make some improvements
- many improvements to taskbar
- forked color scheme to make it more authentic (fixed the main gray color and the titlebar gradient to match real Windows 98 better)
- added dark and dim color schemes
I really just put a bunch of pieces together. Forked from Reactionary Plus, but swapped out the icons, cursors, window decorations, color scheme, and made some slight tweaks to the layout.
More screenshots here: store.kde.org/p/2330858
To install this, open System Settings, go to Colors & Themes -> Global Theme. In the top right there's a button for "Get New...", wait for it to load (it's very slow) then search for reactionary, and wait again, then install Reactionary 98.
This is my first time messing with any of this stuff, it was a bit janky lol.

Alessandra Maltoni, poetessa e narratrice ravennate, ci regala con questa pubblicazione una documentata analisi di un monumento ricco di storia e ancora pieno di fascino, come la Torraccia di Bagnacavallo. Non è la prima né l’unica opera di questo tipo realizzata dall’autrice che, vivendo in un territorio così fertile per l’immaginazione come la città di Ravenna e la sua provincia, è sensibile a quella particolare forma di documentazione storica che è rappresentata dagli edifici, dalle antiche costruzioni, torri, castelli e fortilizi che infiammano la fantasia di scrittori e poeti. (…)
Breve introduzione storica sulla Torraccia
La Torraccia: un’antica sentinella nel cuore di Bagnacavallo
Nel centro storico di Bagnacavallo sorge la Torraccia, una delle costruzioni più antiche e affascinanti della città. Le sue origini risalgono tra la fine del XII e l’inizio del XIII secolo, come rivelano la tipologia dei materiali e la posizione strategica accanto alla chiesa di San Giovanni. Un dettaglio rilevante: un edificio di tale imponenza non sarebbe stato costruito dopo la chiesa, segno che la torre è con ogni probabilità precedente al complesso religioso.
La tradizione storica attribuisce la Torraccia alla famiglia Brandolini e la inserisce nella primissima cinta difensiva della città, la “cittadella” medievale. La sua forma quadrata, il solido zoccolo a scarpa con cornice in cotto e gli ambienti interni con volte a crociera testimoniano la funzione militare dell’edificio. Sulla sommità, le vecchie mensole delle caditoie ricordano le antiche tecniche di difesa dall’alto.
Modesta nelle dimensioni ma ricca di storia, la Torraccia resta una delle testimonianze più eloquenti dell’identità medievale di Bagnacavallo.
Bagnacavallo e la leggenda del nome
Nel suo saggio storico dedicato alla Torraccia, Alessandra Maltoni racconta anche la suggestiva leggenda che dà origine al nome della città. Si dice che un tempo esistesse una sorgente d’acqua ritenuta miracolosa per i cavalli ammalati. Persino il cavallo dell’imperatore, secondo la tradizione, avrebbe tratto beneficio da quelle acque.
Non stupisce quindi che il motto dello stemma cittadino reciti:
“Entro malato, esco risanato — entro mortale, esco immortale.”
Una storia affascinante e quasi sconosciuta, che l’autrice riporta alla luce con passione.
Dentro il saggio: documenti, mappe e memoria
Il saggio è arricchito da numerose immagini, mappe e documenti che permettono al lettore di immergersi nell’antico passato della Torraccia.
Grazie alla sua competenza storica e al profondo legame con Ravenna, Alessandra Maltoni recupera un frammento prezioso del patrimonio locale, spesso trascurato. Il volume si chiude con un’intervista al geometra Marco Poggioli, che esprime il desiderio di un futuro restauro per rendere la Torraccia nuovamente agibile e, un giorno, visitabile dal pubblico.
La poesia che apre il saggio
Come in molte sue opere, la Maltoni introduce il testo con una poesia breve ma incisiva. Una dichiarazione d’intenti che afferma, con forza, il valore universale della cultura. Eccone un estratto:
la poesia
veste
i colori dell’arcobaleno…
apolitici…
La cultura
veste
i colori del cielo…
apolitici…
Il sapere
veste
i colori della giustizia divina…
apolitici…
Un messaggio chiaro: poesia, cultura e conoscenza non hanno bandiere, non appartengono alla politica. Sono strumenti per curare, guidare e insegnare. La loro forza risiede proprio nella libertà.
Chi è Alessandra Maltoni
Alessandra Maltoni, poetessa e scrittrice ravennate, nasce in una città intrisa dell’eredità dantesca, che influenzerà profondamente il suo percorso artistico. Fin da bambina rimane affascinata dalla struttura della Divina Commedia e dalla potenza del verso, un interesse che negli anni si trasformerà in una carriera letteraria solida e riconosciuta.
Titolare di un centro servizi culturali, pubblica dal 2000 e ottiene nel tempo numerosi premi, tra cui il Gran Premio Mogol 2022, il Premio Navarro 2021 e il Premio Delfino per la narrativa di mare. Dopo aver ricevuto una borsa di studio in architettura dall’ABACUS nel 1998, frequenta un corso di High Tech all’Università di Bath e prosegue gli studi in fisica quantistica, che spesso influenzano la sua visione poetica.
Tra le sue opere più rappresentative figurano Tracce di riflessione nell’ombra poetica (2001), Domande tra porto e mare (2009), Il lido del mosaico (2017), La poesia cambierà il mondo (2019), La chiesa della cipolla a due passi da Dante (2021), Spazi di parole (2024) e Sogni a colori (2025). Molti suoi testi sono stati tradotti in inglese e spagnolo.
Oltre alla scrittura, Maltoni è profondamente impegnata nella promozione culturale. Ha ideato e diretto per dieci anni il concorso “Poesia al Bar”, ha coordinato nel 2023 la sezione poesia del Premio Città di Ravenna ed è presente in antologie e repertori come il dizionario di Letteratura italiana del XXI secolo.
Riservata ma appassionata, amante della natura e dei libri, porta avanti una visione in cui poesia, storia e divulgazione convivono armoniosamente.

Are older siblings supposed to protect their younger siblings? Like... as in a natural instinct? Or do they naturally wanna bully the younger sibling? Why was/is my older brother so evil to me?
I read that some siblings apparantly protect their younger siblings?
I feel so jealous.
I wanna cry.
It's a mixed bag even in "normal" families. When I was growing up everybody was bullied by their older siblings. Sometimes the oldest would be protective at school; usually not. Most grew up to tolerate their siblings. The rest of us can barely stand them.
After moving around I found there actually were families where the siblings are really tight in adulthood. But even then it was always preceded by blow ups as teenagers and lots of fighting as kids.

“Spazi di Parole” è un’emozionante silloge di poesie che trasporta i lettori attraverso un viaggio poetico unico. Scritte in momenti diversi, le poesie di Alessandra Maltoni traggono ispirazione dal turbolento periodo del Covid, creando spazi di vita, anti-covid, danteschi, descrittivi ed emotivi. Dante stesso diventa musa ispiratrice, suggerendo riflessioni profonde e versi evocativi. Il linguaggio semplice e i versi liberi rendono le poesie accessibili, mentre metafore e similitudini si intrecciano per offrire un significato duplice: descrittivo e morale.
“Spazi di parole”: la nuova silloge di Alessandra Maltoni che racconta la poesia come energia vitale
Un viaggio tra dolore, rinascita e scrittura nella raccolta poetica di Alessandra Maltoni, dove la poesia diventa cura, memoria e testimonianza del nostro tempo.
La poesia è anima viva, un’energia che affiora da ogni angolo dell’universo. Da sempre rappresenta il canto più autentico di chi, attraverso la scrittura, desidera trasmettere passione ed emozione. Musa dei tempi passati e di quelli futuri, la poesia attraversa i secoli e l’uomo continua ad ascoltarla, ininterrottamente.
È madre e figlia insieme, capace di curare ferite che nessun altro linguaggio può guarire. Questo articolo è un omaggio alla poesia — e ad Alessandra Maltoni, che nella sua silloge Spazi di parole riesce a celebrarla con forza e sensibilità.

Il percorso poetico della Maltoni nasce da un periodo segnato dal dolore e dall’isolamento: gli anni del Covid. Da quella frattura emotiva l’autrice ritorna al presente, a una quotidianità che sembra aver dimenticato il trauma collettivo. Ma lei no: Alessandra ricorda, osserva, custodisce. E con maestria mette tutto “nero su bianco”, trasformando l’esperienza in versi.
La sua è una poesia contemporanea, semplice e diretta, in cui Dante diventa una musa ispiratrice del sentire moderno. I componimenti si arricchiscono così di metafore e immagini potenti, senza ricorrere a rime baciate o a strutture classiche: ciò che emerge è una poetica dell’amore e della riflessione, fatta di pensieri che dominano l’io narrante.
Tra alti e bassi emotivi, la scrittrice si racconta e ci racconta: parla di sé, ma anche di noi e della nostra quotidianità. Alessandra Maltoni è un’autrice consapevole di ciò che desidera trasmettere, e lo fa con eleganza e autenticità. Per questo Spazi di parole è una raccolta che colpisce e resta nel cuore.
Poesia estratta dalla silloge
Ce la faremo
Scrivono
ce la faremo,
in un periodo complicato
Scrivono
cambiate abitudini c’è il virus
Scrivono
Alleggeriti gli animi
Scrivono
Aiutate i più piccolo a trovare serenità
Scrivono
è inutile la poesia, ma festeggeremo Dante
Scrivono
ce la faremo
se rideremo.
Di questa poesia mi è piaciuto moltissimo l’ironia. “E’ inutile la poesia, ma festeggeremo Dante” Un ironia che cela però del vero. Quante volte abbiamo disdegnato la poesia, elargendo complimenti a chi della poesia è quasi padre? Alessandra con le sua silloge colpisce in modo delicato i giusti punti ed anche verità che possono fare male.
Per questo ho apprezzato moltissimo la penna dell’autrice così diretta e semplice da andare a segno.
Biografia
Alessandra Maltoni, nata a Ravenna, culla della poesia e dei mosaici, porta avanti una carriera di successo nella pubblicazione di liriche dal 2000. Laureata in fisica quantistica, ama la natura, i libri e gli animali. La sua riservatezza sulla vita privata contrasta con la sua passione per la cultura e la gioventù, tanto da creare un centro servizi culturali. Premiata alla Sorbona di Parigi per il suo saggio “La chiesa della cipolla a due passi da Dante”, Alessandra continua a conquistare riconoscimenti, incluso il “Gran premio Mogol” nel 2022.

WordCamp Pisa: come siamo andati?
La partecipazione al WordCamp Pisa 2025 è stata una esperienza costruttiva di networking; peccato per l’assenza di Gifter, solo @elettrona era coinvolta in prima persona.
Niente contributor day
A differenza del WordCamp Verona 2023, nel 2025 non c’è stata la partecipazione da parte della delegazione Mondo Positivo al Contributor Day, quella giornata in cui ci si incontra in presenza fra chi fa “il lavoro sporco” in WordPress. Temi, funzionalità, traduzioni, correzione di errori. Pazienza.
Il venerdì sera invece si è tenuto il social event, una cena in un pub dove naturalmente si è mangiato come maiali e chiacchierato con nuovi e vecchi (vecchissimi) amici.
Nessuno di noi due è riuscito a sentirsi tutti i talk – Elettrona impegnata a preparare il suo, Gifter a lavoro da un cliente.
Ma la diretta del WordCamp è disponibile nel canale YouTube “WordPress Community Italia”.
ActivityPub: WordPress alla conquista del mondo
Pubblichiamo qui i concetti base espressi nell’evento (mezz’oretta di talk). Inseriremo il link al video dal sito dei WordCamp appena disponibili.
1. INTRODUZIONE
Biografia speaker: Elena @elettrona – Brescacin. Content creator, consulente per l’accessibilità digitale, Pisa 2025 è il terzo WordCamp- Pisa è una località simbolica perché questo blog, PlusBrothers, contiene racconti di fantasia ambientati a Bugliano, città fittizia in provincia di Pisa nata come pagina satirica sui social network commerciali.
Obiettivo: parlare del Fediverso come alternativa o affiancamento ai social network commerciali.
2. Social network commerciali: visibilità e ostacoli
X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube… Tutte piattaforme estremamente diffuse ma insidiose. Guidate da sistemi automatizzati che creano problemi:
- rischio di radicalizzarsi con idee estremiste (polarizzazione. O con me, o contro di me).
- post ordinati a seconda della popolarità o di criteri non meglio specificati dall’algoritmo, anziché ordine cronologico
- favorite per sone o aziende che danno soldi alla piattaforma rispetto ai creatori con migliore qualità ma con meno portafoglio da condividere coi social
- politica: repubblicani o democratici, conservatori o progressisti non importa. Le regole dei social seguono il governo in carica del paese in cui nascono (principalmente America) e le conseguenze sono sotto gli occhi di tutti. Libertà di espressione, ma solo se non si oppone a chi è al potere. I messaggi oppositori vengono nascosti, il termine tecnico è “shadowban”.
- disordini organizzati: se un gruppo di persone vuole chiudere la bocca a qualcuno, basta segnalare in massa il profilo o pagina presa di mira. L’algoritmo fa riferimento ai numeri, non ai contenuti. E una segnalazione di massa può creare danni enormi e vanificare in un’azienda il lavoro di anni.
- un profilo per ogni social. Vuoi seguire più realtà presenti su reti diverse? Devi crearti un profilo su tutte. Anche se poi quotidianamente ne usi una sola.
3. Il Fediverso
Come dice @_elena Rossini molto più brava di noi, il Fediverso è la nuova era dei social network creati “dalla gente, per la gente”. Senza algoritmi, senza pubblicità, un mondo di piattaforme interconnesse che interagiscono tra loro:
Immagina di pubblicare un video su YouTube e ricevere commenti, reazioni, condivisioni, da gente su Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Sembra magia? Non è magia, è il Fediverso…
4. Istanze
Il fediverso si compone di vari nodi a cui ci si può iscrivere, definiti “istanze”. Ce ne sono di molti tipi, per rispondere a svariate esigenze, e ognuno può scegliere quella in cui si trova meglio. Ma nel tempo anche cambiarla se non rispetta più le necessità iniziali, perché la lista dei follower e gli archivi possono essere migrati da un posto all’altro.
Riferimenti:
- @devol e @lealternative – gruppi italiani, composti da persone volontarie, che si occupano di diffondere la consapevolezza sui software liberi e rispettosi di riservatezza, energia pulita, contenuti generati da esseri umani ma soprattutto curano le istanze più grandi del Fediverso italiano.
- @uno-academy – spiegazioni in italiano sul Fediverso, a cura dei DEVOL
- Fedi.tips: risorsa in inglese con guide sull’uso del Fediverso
- Fedi.Garden: risorsa in inglese contenente varie istanze provenienti da tutto il mondo e che coprono vari temi
- FediDB.com: sito in inglese contenente informazioni statistiche e dati sull’andamento del Fediverso
- jointhefediverse.net: il Fediverso spiegato in modo semplice, sito tradotto in varie lingue.
5. Collegare WordPress al Fediverso
Noi ci siamo collegati al Fediverso da quando Matthias Pfefferle, uno sviluppatore tedesco, ha creato il modulo aggiuntivo ActivityPub per piattaforma WordPress e, successivamente, è stato assunto da Automattic – azienda fondatrice di WordPress; ora ActivityPub si aggiunge come estensione ai siti installati in autonomia, oppure si attiva nei siti WordPress.com.
Evitiamo i discorsi troppo tecnici perché non è questa la sede, ci limitiamo solo a dire in parole semplici che ActivityPub è un sistema entrato nel 2018 fra gli standard di Internet, per permettere ai social network di comunicare tra loro.
Si installa come un qualunque modulo di WordPress: aggiungi plugin -> ricerca di activitypub -> attiva. Poi si seguono le istruzioni per crearsi il nome del blog o i profili autore.
La pubblicazione in tutti i nodi del Fediverso -federazione- non è obbligatoria; il modulo consente di scegliere, in fase di modifica o scrittura di un articolo, se quest’ultimo sarà pubblico, destinato solo ai propri seguaci, o senza federazione. Nelle impostazioni è anche possibile decidere quali, se presenti, tipi di contenuto rendere compatibili con ActivityPub. Noi abbiamo le persone, per descrivere i personaggi, e abbiamo deciso di non federarle.
Seguaci e seguiti: dall’interfaccia di ActivityPub si può seguire un utente di un’altra istanza, per esempio Mastodon.Uno. E lui a propria volta può seguire noi. I commenti che pubblicherà il follower da Mastodon, le reazioni “mi piace” e le condivisioni -repost-, saranno visibili sul sito.
6. Feed RSS
L’RSS è quasi sconosciuto nel web degli ultimi 10 anni anche se tempo fa era parecchio diffuso il suo utilizzo fra gli utenti comuni; è rimasto però fondamentale.
Come troppe persone in questo mondo che vengono marginalizzate, il feed RSS è considerato un elemento essenziale solo se nascosto. Dal punto di vista delle reti commerciali, se l’RSS viene messo in evidenza, crea problemi perché spara fuori le notizie in tempo reale dei siti senza proporre tutta la pubblicità che invece Facebook e affini ci piazzano in mezzo.
Tuttavia sarebbe molto più problematico se l’RSS non ci fosse:
- grazie a lui i social network commerciali pubblicano in automatico le notizie sulle proprie pagine
- grazie a lui il fediverso gestisce tutte le proprie comunicazioni.
- anche senza avere un account sul Fediverso, si può seguire un suo utente grazie a un normale lettore per RSS – esempio: mastodon.uno/users/nomeutente . rss.
7. Tag e hashtag
Il tag è una parola chiave utilizzata per catalogare un post di un blog; se un articolo è associato al tag #eventi cliccando su quest’ultimo si avranno tutti i post a cui è assegnato quel termine.
Hashtag: stesso concetto dei tag, ma usato nei social network commerciali e non, per riunire i post con la stessa parola chiave, provenienti da vari profili. #bugliano come hashtag, farà vedere tutti i post che presumibilmente parlano di questa località fittizia in provincia di Pisa.
Nel Fediverso gli hashtag sono decisamente fondamentali, perché permettono di fare rete con altri profili che condividono gli stessi interessi e perché un hashtag, a differenza dei social commerciali, include le pubblicazioni effettuate su WordPress, su Lemmy, su Mastodon, su qualunque altra piattaforma federata che contenga articoli o multimedia.
8. Federarsi o no? Pro e contro
VANTAGGI della federazione:
- contenuti visibili a un pubblico teoricamente infinito
- possibilità di ampliare la propria rete di interessi e business
- interoperabilità con altre piattaforme
- RSS per farsi seguire indipendentemente dalle piattaforme in possesso del cliente. Rispetto della privacy e assenza di algoritmi restrittivi
- possibilità di seguire gli hashtag che fanno tendenza nelle piattaforme open web
SVANTAGGI della federazione:
- assenza di algoritmo significa investire più tempo per ottenere follower. Pubblicità, passa parola, il fediverso è un ritorno al web a misura d’uomo.
- ottimizzare la strategia per decidere i contenuti da federare e quelli no: il rischio è che il lettore non vada sul sito ma si limiti a leggere il contenuto solo sul fediverso.
- fraintendimenti: se si pubblica un contenuto multimediale allegato a un articolo, il Fediverso mostra prima il media (audio, foto, video) e se quest’ultimo ha una spiegazione contenuta sul sito web, l’utente abituato a leggere i social network superficialmente potrebbe perdersi qualcosa. Questa è una ragione per cui avevamo diversi dubbi prima di pubblicare l’inno politicamente scorretto del nostro sito.
CONCLUSIONE: le restrizioni dei social network commerciali creano potenziali problemi a piccole e medie imprese, e alla democrazia; i contenuti generati solo da sistemi automatici stanno disumanizzando la rete. Il Fediverso è forse una delle ultime occasioni che abbiamo per difendere una Internet a misura umana, consigliamo però di no rinunciare alle reti commerciali se creano vantaggi come attivisti o come aziende; il fediverso è una realtà da affiancare alle altre, cercando di crearsi un bacino di utenza che possa aiutarci a svincolare la propria attività da algoritmi invasivi.

IDF deploys new AI system to track soldiers’ social media leaks: 'We are aware its intrusive'
The IDF is moving to curb sensitive military information leaking onto social media by rolling out a new monitoring system called ‘Morpheus.’ The AI-based tool, developed inside the military, will soon track photos and other content posted by IDF soldiers on civilian social media platforms, according to a report Wednesday.
The decision to develop ‘Morpheus’ followed repeated leaks of classified or sensitive material posted by soldiers in recent years, in text, images and videos.

rivelazioni misschiaviche di octica notanza… (Filosofia Completa di Misskey scoperta grazie alla deprivazione del sonno)

rivelazioni misschiaviche di octica notanza… (Filosofia Completa di Misskey scoperta grazie alla deprivazione del sonno)
Dopo decisamente troppi anni di vita, ancora non ho ben capito quali sono gli effetti complessivi della deprivazione del sonno su di me… ma, se c’è una cosa certa del tutto è che, in genere, questa mi permette, attraverso lo stato — perfettamente naturale, non artificialmente indotto, e quindi a maggior ragione magico — di dissoluzione del mio ego, di connessione invisibile con lo stesso intangibile tessuto del cosmo, di estensione del mio campo cognitivo secondo uno schema che non ha né inizio né fine… di ricevere dall’universo certe incredibili rivelazioni, interamente inedite e dal valore a dir poco immenso, come dei colpi di fortuna istantanei che mi forniscono grandi privilegi ed enormi responsabilità… 💖E così, ieri notte (…a quell’ora non è decisamente più sera), alle 3, messami a letto proprio un attimo dopo aver creato le mie ultime note per la lunga giornata su Squaloctti, proprio prima di crollare nel sonno, ho avuto una rivelazione riguardo la più profonda filosofia di Misskey… E sì, lo so che detta così sembra una stronzata colossale, ma in questo momento sono lucida (oddio, circa… almeno i miei occhi lo sono per via delle stelline mentali, credo) e ancora mi risulta che sia qualcosa di incredibile, quindi vi consiglierei di approfittare anche stavolta della mia infinita generosità, che mi porta a condividere queste riflessioni, anziché metterle sotto chiave (e non intendo miss-chiave…), e seguirmi… (Vi giuro che non sono ancora delirante.) 😘
Di base, il fatto che Misskey sia basato attorno alle cosiddette note dice già tutto. Per chi non è familiare col software, “note” è semplicemente la parola con cui sono indicati i normali post; niente di speciale qui, è perfettamente uguale al come Mastodon li chiama toot o Twitter li chiamava tweet. Eppure, questa differenza di puro stile, non di sostanza, racchiude già di per sé elementi incredibili, e nasconde la vera natura di Misskey. Una nota infatti, nella sua normale accezione, è un appunto, un pensiero, un promemoria, scritto in genere per sé… qualcosa di intimo e a modo suo piccolo; non un discorsone per arruffianarsi le masse, non una roba da gente che parla e basta, ma una cosina lasciata lì, come su un quadernino, per motivi tanto speciali quanto semplici, mondani. 🤫
…Si potrebbe, volendo vedere anche cose che non esistono, dire anche che le note di Misskey sono tali in richiamo alle note musicali; nel senso che ogni nota pubblicata è un piccolo elemento di una grande composizione, sia personale che collettiva, nella misura in cui ogni utente, lì nel Fediverso, con ogni notina contribuisce ad una sinfonia di pensieri… Ma, certamente, anche senza diventare così pazzi, si può riconoscere il Misskey come un giardino digitale collettivo, dove, esattamente come nei classici digital garden, ma su di una scala quasi ribaltata, ogni nota è un elemento di una bellissima raccolta di idee, separate ma unite. E beh, una simile roba non è mica poco… 😱
In realtà, però, tutto questo non è neanche chissà che segreto, e forse molti utenti potrebbero arrivarci per conto proprio, semplicemente prendendo sufficiente intimità con l’applicazione… e, infatti, non è questo che ho scoperto stanotte; questo già lo sapevo. Il concetto di “nota” così come espresso in Misskey, bensì, nasconde anche un significato ben più profondo, meraviglioso, rivoluzionario e, questo credo di si, mai percepito prima… Nemmeno dallo stesso Eiji “syuilo” (しゅいろ) Shinoda, il Dio umano capo di Misskey, temo, visto che questo ragionamento ha senso solo in italiano; non in inglese senza qualche forzatura linguistica, e credo certamente non in giapponese. 🙊
Le note su Misskey sono, incredibilmente, tali anche nel senso di “notare”, cioè di fare caso a qualcosa… e, notando una data cosa nel senso di percepirla, così poi la si nota nel senso che la si annota, la si scrive; ma la si nota, ancora una volta, nel senso che la si condivide, dato che sul tasto di invio c’è proprio scritto “Nota!”, come se l’atto definito da questa voce del verbo notare sia esattamente corrispondente a quello di condividere il proprio appunto con il mondo. ‘Sta cosa è veramente così profonda, e temo di non riuscire neanche ad esprimermi bene su quanto… è come se l’atto di fare caso a qualcosa nel mondo, o nel proprio animo, di per sé già un’espressione di presenza e consapevolezza, divenisse automaticamente azione di renderlo noto (oh, vedete che il cerchio si chiude?), cioè appunto notabile e poi notato, ad altre persone. Praticamente, postare su Misskey è come dire “ho notato questa cosa, ora voglio condividerla con tutti voi“. 🤯🤯🤯
Quando ieri notte ho appunto notato, neanche a farlo apposta, questa cosa, ci sono inizialmente rimasta… è davvero così troppo magica persino per me, come Misskey stesso è oggettivamente magico. Ma, addirittura, c’è di più… le “rinote“, cioè i post ricondivisi, con o senza aggiungere dell’altro, sono in questo senso su di un ancora diverso livello di potenza: non solo l’atto in sé di rinotare una nota corrisponde ad un purissimo atto di attenzione, che dice “anche io ho notato questo ora, grazie a te che l’hai notato prima“, ma (…a patto di non spammarne centinaia al giorno, mannaggia alla miseria certa gente come usa il Fediverso) è una forma di amore verso nostri seguaci che, ricevendo le nostre attività sul proprio feed, potrebbero a loro volta notare ciò che abbiamo personalmente notato e quindi rinotato. 🤩
Questa è la filosofia completa di questo aggeggio. E ciò che viene fuori allora, mettendo tutto assieme, è che Misskey non è una banale piattaforma di microblogging: è una rete di sguardi che si incrociano costantemente tra gli utenti, che, lasciando in giro piccole tracce della propria coscienza, costruiscono un diario collettivo di percezioni ultrasensoriali… non solo shitposting, ma qualcosa di estremamente più profondo; e forse adesso capisco perché, per alcune persone, troppo pesante. Ma beh, questo non è un problema: anche chi non ce la fa a partecipare a queste attività può sempre trovare interesse nello scoprire di questo software da lontano… e quindi, per stavolta vi saluto spammando 2 thread in corso dal mio profilo, che forse vorreste recuperare, o meglio notare… Le Magiche Funzionalità Speciali Inscoperte di Misskey, e Come Sto Costruendo un Client Misskey per il Millennio Passato 😁

Games reminiscent of Minecraft Alpha, Beta or 1.0.0
Hello,
I don't like how many items/blocks were added to Minecraft. It removes what made Minecraft so special–its simplicity.
Are there any Luanti games that replicate that feeling? "Minetest Game" doesn't have any mobs, and has weird controls. VoxeLibre has too many items.
You could probably fix that with mods or... you know just not using the items i don't wanna use. 😀
I still wanted to ask here though maybe somebody uses exactly that.
I did found an empty server that was running something, that looked a lot like Minecraft Alpha, but I couldn't find what game they have used.
Can you find that server again?
My only guess for what it might have been running would be Mineclonia, but I'm not sure. That's more of a modern Minecraft clone I think
the join message in the chat tells me it is running a game called "Back to alpha" however the server list under servers.luanti.org/ says its "minecraft" which is probably its identifer. I can't seem to find it on ContentDB though 🙁
From what I understand, lots of servers run their own custom modded games, typically based on Minetest Game. Even just for providing an enjoyable multiplayer experience, you want mods that help with e.g. protecting areas from trolls, which aren't necessary in a singleplayer experience.
If you run /mods in the chat of the server, it should list the mods it uses. You can try to compare that with the output of /mods in a locally running Minetest Game world.
But it's also possible that they use custom-edited versions of mods or entirely newly-written mods, which aren't separately published. I'm pretty sure Luanti just downloads the mod files from the server onto your PC, so you can probably find them somewhere and use them in a local game.

Graffitismo: la pratica di disegnare immagini sul tessuto urbano. Si fa per lasciare il segno, per non rimanere nell’anonimato. Una manifestazione sociale e culturale diffusa in tutto il pianeta e che da sempre si pone al centro di una sottilissima linea che separa arte e vandalismo fine a se stesso. Un eterno conflitto che di certo non spetta a noi risolvere. La posizione dei The Vaccines è invece molto decisa a riguardo: Justin Young, il simpatico frontman del gruppo, sostiene che in un’epoca in cui l’uomo è in grado di comunicare con un’altra persona dall’altra parte del mondo così facilmente, spesso le parole dette risultano vuote e senza significato. A volte, quindi, è meglio affidarsi a parole ferme, solide, scritte sui muri: Graffiti (appunto)... artesuono.blogspot.com/2015/06…

Jellyfin on FreeBSD
We all love media – to some extent at least!
Movies, TV Shows and all the moving pictures we can find and consume.
So, since we all have movies etc. on our NAS/HDD/SSD/whatever we should be able to play and see everything we have on all our connected devices.
But what can we do?
Simple, we leverage Jellyfin to present our media to us.
In this little howto we will set up Jellyfin in a Jail on FreeBSD.
Let’s get right to it!
Creating the Jail
Jails can be created in different ways. In this howto however we will use Bastille – which is a excellent tool for creating Jails.
This howto will not go into detail of how to set up Bastille. If you need to set up Bastille first, given you have not installed said tool, you can have a look at the quickstart guide:
Bastille Quickstart Guide
Right, let’s create the Jail first.
$ sudo bastille create media 14.3-RELEASE 10.0.23.77/24 vtnet0
You of course need to change the IP address and network interface (vtnet0 is probably not what you want!). Also, one can of course change the name of the Jail – I’ve chosen media since that describes the use case well of said Jail.
After that our Jail is ready!
Jellyfin needs mlock to be enabled to work properly.
$ sudo bastille config media set allow.mlock 1
But wait a second… How do I access all my media files?
There is no access in the Jail to any directory on the host holding all my videos!
Right, that is the case indeed!
So, what can we do?
Simple, we just mount our media directory in the Jail with nullfs!
$ sudo bastille mount "media" /home/x/videos/ /videos nullfs ro 0 0
This line mount /home/x/videos/ in the Jail under /videos. Also, I mount the directory as readonly – which you can change by sepcifying rw on the command above. Be sure to also select the correct Jail – in my case media.
Jail fun with Jellyfin
We can now finally enter the jail to further go along with the howto.
$ sudo bastille console media
Let’s first install Jellyfin which is directly accessible from the official package repository.
$ pkg$ pkg update -f$ pkg install -y jellyfin
The first command pkg bootstraps the pkg package manager. The second command refreshes the package cache and the last command installs Jellyfin itself.
Right, so far so good.
But we also need to configure Jellfin (Service) to always start. And, last but not least, we need to start Jellyfin – since it is not running after the installation finished.
$ sysrc jellyfin_enable="YES"$ service jellyfin start
We did all that, alright… But how do we know Jellyfin is running?
Let’s have a look at the ps and sockstat output.
root@media:~ # sockstat -l4USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS jellyfin jellyfin 10700 478 udp4 10.0.23.77:7359 *:*jellyfin jellyfin 10700 503 tcp4 10.0.23.77:8096 *:*root@media:~ # ps ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND10662 - SsJ 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/syslogd -ss10699 - IsJ 0:00.00 daemon: /usr/local/jellyfin/jellyfin[10700] (daemon)10700 - IJ 0:03.81 /usr/local/jellyfin/jellyfin --datadir /var/db/jellyfin --cachedir /var/cache/jellyfin10706 - SsJ 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/cron -J 60 -s10804 1 IJ 0:00.00 login [pam] (login)10805 1 SJ 0:00.01 -sh (sh)10842 1 R+J 0:00.00 ps ax
Ah yes, Jellyfin is running and listening on port 8096 – which is the designated port for Jellyfin!
Jellyfin all the way!
Since we established that Jellyfin is running and listening, let’s open our webbrowser of choice and navigate over to the install wizard.
$ firefox 10.0.23.77:8096
We are greated with the intital Jellyfin wizard.
I will not go into detail on how to set up the wizard. But don’t worry, there is a excellent guide over on the official Jellyfin website.
The guide can be found here: Jellyfin Setup Wizard guide
Be sure to add your nullfs mounted directory in your library to be able to play said videos and shows.
That is all there is to it.
Simple, easy and clean. Everything is done in a Jail and isolated. Also, mounting a media directory is easy and straightforward via bastille mount.
Final words
This little howto just shows how versatile jails are. One can of course tweak the setup further and for example add a reverse proxy (like Nginx) to the mix.
The sky is the limit – Tools like bastille are very powerful and flexible!
Enjoy!
…and as always:
Stay Open!

Israel launches new strikes in south Lebanon on ceasefire anniversary
Jerusalem (AFP) – The Israeli military carried out a fresh series of strikes against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon on Thursday, exactly a year into a ceasefire with the militant group.Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said Israeli aircraft launched "a series of raids on Al-Mahmoudiya and Al-Jarmak", just north of the Litani River.
The November 27, 2024 ceasefire sought to end over a year of hostilities between the two sides.
But Israel has repeatedly bombed Lebanon despite the truce, usually saying it is targeting Hezbollah members and infrastructure to stop the group from rearming.
Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said his country was "in a one-sided war of attrition that is escalating".
The Israeli military said it "struck and dismantled Hezbollah terror infrastructure in several areas in southern Lebanon", in a statement after Thursday's strikes.
The US has been piling pressure on the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah.The Lebanese military has said it is carrying out its plan to disarm the group, but Washington and Israel have accused Lebanese authorities of stalling the process.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun "rejected the Israeli claims", his office said Thursday, adding that the Lebanese army was "preventing armed displays, confiscating ammunition, inspecting tunnels, among other things".
On Thursday, Aoun met Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the United Nations' special coordinator for Lebanon, who said that a year on from the ceasefire, "uncertainty remains".
"For too many Lebanese, the conflict is ongoing -- albeit at a lower intensity. And one does not need a crystal ball to understand that as long as the current status quo continues, the spectre of future hostilities will continue to loom large," she said.
In a statement posted by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Thursday evening, the peacekeeping force said it continued to find "illegal weapons" in southern Lebanon.
UNIFIL said it also recorded over 10,000 air and ground violations of the truce in the past year.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz earlier this week warned there would be "no calm" in Lebanon if Israel's security was not guaranteed.
An Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs on Sunday killed Haitham Ali Tabatabai -- the most senior Hezbollah commander to be killed by Israel since the ceasefire entered into force.
The Lebanese premier slammed Hezbollah's claims that its weapons deter Israeli aggression.
"These weapons did not protect either Hezbollah's leaders or the Lebanese people and their property," Salam said.
"Are Hezbollah's weapons currently capable of repelling the ongoing Israeli attacks? These weapons have provided neither deterrence nor protection, nor have they brought victory to Gaza."

Rare protest breaks out in China as video shows villagers defying government order

ArchivedProtests have erupted among villagers in southwest China against a government order on burial practices, an exceedingly rare expression of dissent in a country with little tolerance for it.
The poor and rural province of Guizhou, about 2,000km from Beijing, has witnessed a string of rare protests since the weekend after the local government imposed a mandatory cremation policy.
The protests reportedly continued on Tuesday as the government pushed back with a notice, which claimed that cremation was necessary to preserve land resources and promote a “frugal new funeral style”.
[...]
A compilation of videos shared by the X account Yesterday Big Cat showed people purportedly gathering around government officials and chanting slogans in a rare display of dissent. A villager can be heard shouting: “If the Communist Party is digging up ancestor’s graves, go dig up Xi Jinping’s ancestral tombs first.”
Protests are an unusual sight in China, and their coverage in local media is even sparse. Beijing’s reaction to the protests over the years has been censorship and an attempt to crack down.
The China Dissent Monitor this year recorded 661 rural protests in the country, a 70 per cent increase over the whole of 2024,
[...]
China has imposed sweeping funeral reforms to phase out ground burials and encouraged people to consider alternative funeral practices, even sea burials. But the orders have invited backlash from mostly rural communities who see traditional burials are part of their culture.
[...]
In 2021, Chinese authorities faced backlash for exhuming the body of an elderly woman for cremation after her son had given her a traditional burial in Guizhou.
A villager from Pingtang county rued that his mother's body was removed from her grave and sent to a funeral home soon after her family had buried her. “I’m OK if they took her away from home, but why did they dig her up after we buried her," he was quoted as saying by the South China Morning Post.

The Fear Taking Hold Among Indiana Republicans
In Monday I spoke with a Republican member of Indiana’s legislature who opposes President Donald Trump’s push for the state to redraw its congressional map to gain two GOP seats and help the party hold its House majority in next year’s midterm elections. Trump, with support from Indiana’s Republican governor, Mike Braun, has vowed to back primary challengers against members of the GOP who are, for now, blocking the redistricting plan. The lawmaker I spoke with asked that I not publish his name. He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection. His fear of speaking out is much more personal: “I’d rather my house not get firebombed,” he told me by phone.Such a worry is not as far-fetched as it might sound—not in an America that has seen an eruption of political violence over the past few years, and not in Indiana over the past few weeks. Republicans in the state have faced a wave of “swatting” incidents, in which a false call to emergency services draws a police response, for not endorsing the redistricting plan. (Braun said he and his family have also received threats.)

U.S. Withdrawal from New START Would Trigger a Nuclear Arms Race and Destroy the Last Mechanisms of Control
If the United States fails to extend the New START Treaty, which expires on February 5, 2026, it will deal a severe blow to nuclear arms control. The move would effectively eliminate the last legally binding framework limiting the strategic arsenals of the world’s major powers. Such a decision would not only dismantle mechanisms of transparency and mutual verification but also open the way to an uncontrolled buildup of warheads and delivery systems. This would destabilize global security and provoke a new and dangerous arms race. Experts warn that Washington’s refusal to renew the treaty would destroy the last vestiges of nuclear risk management, deepen mistrust, and increase the risk of escalation toward nuclear conflict.
A complete halt to inspections and data exchanges on strategic forces would heighten suspicion and further strain international relations. Strategic instability would inevitably grow, especially given that Russia—despite suspending its participation in New START—had proposed extending the agreement for one year in an effort to avoid further escalation. The entire nuclear nonproliferation regime would come under threat, as such U.S. actions could push China, India, and other nations to expand their nuclear capabilities more aggressively.
Both Russian and international analysts believe that the U.S. refusal to extend New START would not prevent an arms race, but rather act as a destabilizing factor fueling one. This step undermines long-standing efforts toward arms control and sets a dangerous precedent for international security. Washington’s position is widely criticized as narrow-minded and counterproductive. Under the current circumstances, preserving and extending the treaty remains a key element of deterrence and nuclear conflict prevention, while Washington’s refusal to do so only deepens the crisis in international relations and heightens threats to global stability.
While Russia has signaled readiness to extend the treaty for another year under existing limits, the United States continues to delay negotiations and set unrealistic conditions, including the demand to involve China. This appears to be a deliberate attempt to derail the agreement and weaken nuclear oversight to the greatest possible extent. Such an approach reflects disregard for international obligations and accountability, threatening to usher in a perilous new era without any control over strategic nuclear arsenals.

B-21 Raider and the Limits of the Technological Revolution in Warfare
In recent months, dominant rhetoric about the revolutionary potential of drones and artificial intelligence in warfare has flooded professional discussions. This narrative—presented as a fundamental game-changer—is not merely exaggerated; it dangerously distorts reality, reviving the same misleading patterns of the so‑called “Revolution in Military Affairs” propaganda popular in the 1990s. The actual state of affairs is that, however hyped these technologies may be, they represent an evolutionary and ethically problematic step in the development of weaponry. They do not possess the capacity to transform the very nature of war, which has always been—and remains—an exclusively human endeavor.
The B‑21 Raider strategic bomber is promoted as the future of long-range aviation. Yet in essence, it is simply a more advanced and more expensive version of its predecessors, such as the B‑1 and B‑2. For decades, these platforms have served as the workhorses of strategic aviation, and the B‑21, despite all its technological improvements, is designed to perform the same core mission—delivering strikes and demonstrating power. Its enhanced stealth, extended range, and payload capacity represent evolution rather than revolution. Contrary to the hype surrounding unmanned systems and artificial intelligence, it does not fundamentally alter the nature of combat. The very fact that the Pentagon continues to invest billions into a manned bomber speaks volumes about the inherent limitations and risks of new technologies.
Unmanned aerial vehicles undoubtedly hold appeal in military planning. They create the illusion of bloodless warfare and open access to regions closed to manned aircraft. However, the claim that they will render platforms like the B‑21 obsolete is a dangerously simplistic notion. Drones are highly vulnerable to modern electronic warfare systems and become helpless in contested airspace. Their role remains tactical, not strategic. As for the military application of artificial intelligence, it opens a genuine Pandora’s box. The idea that algorithms and machine learning can replace human judgment and strategic thinking on the battlefield is not merely naïve—it is monstrous in its potential consequences. War, with all its political, social, and moral dimensions, is not a computational problem. The notion that machines might autonomously decide matters of life and death represents an abdication of human responsibility. The cold, soulless logic of artificial intelligence cannot grasp the true horror of war, and its integration into weapon systems threatens to create a world in which killing becomes an automated routine.
The technological haze surrounding drones and AI seeks to conceal an eternal truth: the essence of any conflict—namely the struggle for resources and power—remains unchanged. The B‑21 serves as a symbol of this enduring reality. It is a new tool for ancient threats, the same ones its predecessors have faced over the past eighty years. Fears that the B‑21 could share the fate of battleships, becoming obsolete, are based on a misunderstanding of its role. It has not become outdated because no breakthrough comparable to the advent of aircraft carriers has occurred. The manned strategic bomber remains as relevant today as it was in 1944. The B‑21 undeniably possesses superior functionality compared to previous generations and can carry advanced weapon systems, including unmanned ones. It is more lethal, but it continues to fulfill the same strategic missions of deterrence and intimidation. Its deployment sends a signal to both allies and adversaries: the United States intends to maintain dominance in the skies through manned systems. To claim that drones and AI will make all existing platforms obsolete is not only wrong—it is strategically dangerous, as such thinking can undermine defense readiness in the face of real rather than imagined threats.
The Raider is more than just a next-generation bomber. It is a statement of commitment to traditional—albeit costly—military power in an era obsessed with cheap technological fantasies. Support for the B‑21 program is not a rejection of technological progress, but rather a recognition that nothing can replace an advanced manned platform. Drones and AI, useful as they may be for certain operational purposes, do not negate the fundamental nature of war. The B‑21 embodies an essential lesson: despite continuous technological progress, warfare has been—and for now remains—a human endeavor. Entrusting machines with the power to decide human fates on the battlefield is not a revolution; it is an act of moral and strategic bankruptcy.

Now Netflix fucked it, and streaming piracy became so damn easy that more people did it than before.
If they close down piracy streaming/download, guess what. Dark web access, or i2p maybe, will be so damn easy.
People are willing to do it, if there's no service that's worth it's money.
Piracy is a service issue. Most of us would pay, if the service is good enough.

Back in the early 00's, the amount of people learning how to download pirated music safely, arrange and burn a CD with it skyrocketed. Fast forward a few years and people with no real computer skills were learning how to rip and burn DVDs.
I wouldn't underestimate the potential of people with motivation to circumvent an oppressive system.

And then when they were forced to make a rootkit remover, they simply installed more malware to hide any file names that matched the rootkit’s name. Which introduced an easy way for hackers to hide their own malware, by simply naming it the same as the rootkit.
