Va bene le tradizioni, ma anche il rinnovamento non guasta. Si dovrebbe parlare di proteggere tutte le attiviste e attivisti politici umanitari di qualsiasi nazione e non solo la fetta italiana già ora, non è poi cosi difficile. Giusto per evitare nel caso peggiore la gogna mediatica al ritorno in patria del "ve la siete cercata e abbiamo privatizzato la sanità per liberarvi". L'importante è solo alimentare il senso di colpa verso il dissenso in qualche modo

Aguilar details a typical day at a site -- a dehumanising, Hunger-Games scenario.
He also connects the dots to the recent massacre at Nasser Hospital: the IDF collects site data to identify "persons of interest", eg, journalists for later targeting.
Security staff on the for-profit sites earn up to $1500 blood money per day.

Holy shirt balls! Great news, buddy.
I've done a few interviews recently - some of which have been successful.
My tips (for what they're worth):
1 - Take a notebook both to make notes in and with some prepared questions in it. Make sure you say "do you mind if I refer to this" to be polite (IME, no-one ever minds).
2 - Take a couple of printed versions of your CV to leave behind.
And GOOD LUCK!
Thank you! How funny - I looked up yesterday whether it would be appropriate to take/make notes, as that was my intention. Haven't interviewed for a job in something like 20 years, so should be interesting. People still high-5, right?
@BonehouseWasps
My 'favourite' interview one way back before I started freelancing, I'd been fed a line from my recruitment dude to ask at the end, you know when they get to the 'any other questions' bit?
So yer man got to that bit and I said my line: "At this stage, do you have any reservations about my application that we could talk about now?"
He'd obvs heard it before, and sat back and gave a wry grin, and said "Just one. If i ask you to start on Monday, are you going to turn up in those bloody white socks?!"
I got the job 🤣
We finally got separate bins for compostable waste, first collection isn’t for a few weeks, but they gave us the schedule. It was every two weeks, the opposite week from our normal bins.
So I configured automations and notifications in #HomeAssistant to remind us which bins need to go out, along with a way to tell the house that we put the bins out to stop the reminders. I spent quite a bit of time tweaking it, messing with conditions and input booleans, figuring out the logic for which bin is due to go out without relying on a calendar event…
Today we got a letter saying they’re gonna collect the compostable bins the same day as the other bins. 🙃

@abulling ooh it supports San Diego.
I have built my own logic for this over the years. Our schedules are pretty consistent except when there is a holiday, so I built in that logic using a Holiday calendar plug in. I'll have to check this out.
What are you using to make sure the bins are out? I was going to try a BLE tag. My front yard camera can't see them, otherwise Frigate could detect them.
@motoridersd I’m using NFC tags on the bins for now.
Helper “Bin Reminders” turns on at 6pm the night before they have to go out, various things happen based on that. Scanning the NFC tag turns that off and turns on “Bins Out” which does other stuff (mainly puts a little icon on a dashboard), and then when I bring them back in I scan the NFC tag again which turns off “Bins Out”.
I can also toggle the helper via the UI or via Alexa, of course.
oh that's annoying. I was wondering about that.
I really liked this project and now that I've been deploying BLE Proxies, maybe it's time to tackle it

This project has taken me back to the landscape of my childhood and youth in the marshlands of Southern Denmark. A place where as many as one million starlings gather in the spring and fall, prior to onwards migration, and set the stage for one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena. As the countless birds congregate in large murmurations before collectively settling in the reeds at dusk they put on an incredible show of collaboration and performance skills. And now and then, by the added drama of attacking birds of prey, the flock will unfold a breathtaking and veritable ballet of life or death. The starlings move as one unified organism that vigorously opposes any outside threat. A strong visual expression is created – like that of an ink drawing or a calligraphic brush stroke – asserting itself against the sky. Shapes and black lines of condensation form within the swarm, resembling waves of interference or mathematical abstractions written across the horizon. At times the flock seems to possess the cohesive power of super fluids, changing shape in an endless flux: From geometric to organic, from solid to fluid, from matter to ethereal, from reality to dream – an exchange in which real time ceases to exist and mythical time pervades. This is the moment I have attempted to capture – a fragment of eternity.

One UI 8 fixes notification panel appearance for tablets!
Samsung has recently released the Galaxy Tab S11 series today, and it looks like that One UI 8 brings a long-awaited fix for the notification panel that has been plaguing tablet users since One UI 6.
Recently, a news report that 9to5Google made expressed their dissatisfaction about the current state of the notification panel, along with showcasing the notification panel for One UI 8 on tablets. You can refer to our current screenshot of the One UI 7 notification panel to see what we’re talking about.
As you can see, the notification panel consumes the entire screen, and it looks unoptimized for tablets. On Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, it took this into account perfectly.
Now, it looks like that One UI 8 will bring the long-awaited fix for notification panels, which will greatly make your tablet’s notification panel look really like what they’re supposed to look like in tablets. Your notification panel will be a floating panel, similar to how the above picture talked about.
The wasted space that One UI 7 brought has been eliminated by letting you see what’s behind the notification panel for increased productivity. This works very similarly to how Android 4.2 Jelly Bean handled this for tablets. However, the status bar icons and the carrier name (or the Wi-Fi AP name) stays at the top, just like One UI 7.
One UI 8 will roll out to tablets starting from the Galaxy Tab S10 series in October, and this fix will be available for the Tab S10, S9, and S8.

Congress Pushes DHS for Details on ICE’s New Facial Recognition App
Members of a congressional committee have demanded Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem for more information about Mobile Fortify, Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) new facial recognition app, which taps into an unprecedented array of government databases and uses a system ordinarily reserved for when people enter or exit the U.S. 404 Media first revealed the app in June.
The Democratic lawmakers, Bennie G. Thompson, J. Luis Correa, and Shri Thanedar, are asking Noem a host of questions about the app, including what databases Mobile Fortify searches, the tool’s accuracy, and ICE’s legal basis for using the app to identify people outside of ports of entry, including U.S. citizens.
“Congress has long had concerns with the Federal government’s use of facial recognition technology and has regularly conducted oversight of how DHS utilizes this technology. The Mobile Fortify application has been deployed to the field while still in beta testing, which raises concerns about its accuracy,” the letter from the Committee on Homeland Security and addressed to Noem reads.
💡
Do you know anything else about this app? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.
404 Media first revealed Mobile Fortify’s existence through leaked emails. Those emails showed that ICE officers could use the app to identify someone based on their fingerprints or face by just pointing a smartphone camera at them. The underlying Customs and Border Protection (CBP) system for the facial recognition part of the app is ordinarily used when people enter or leave the U.S. With Mobile Fortify, ICE then turned that capability inwards to identify people away from ports of entry.
In the footnotes of the letter, the lawmakers indicate they have a copy of a similar email, and the letter specifically cites 404 Media’s reporting.
In July 404 Media published a second report based on a Mobile Fortify user manual which explained the app’s capabilities and data sources in more detail. It said that Mobile Fortify uses a bank of 200 million images, and can pull up a subject’s name, nationality, date of birth, “alien” number, and whether a judge has marked them for deportation. It also showed that Mobile Fortify links databases from the State Department, CBP, the FBI, and states into a single tool. A “super query” feature lets ICE officers query multiple databases at once regarding “individuals, vehicles, airplanes, vessels, addresses, phone numbers and firearms.”
“Face recognition technology is notoriously unreliable, frequently generating false matches and resulting in a number of known wrongful arrests across the country. Immigration agents relying on this technology to try to identify people on the street is a recipe for disaster. Congress has never authorized DHS to use face recognition technology in this way, and the agency should shut this dangerous experiment down,” Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, previously told 404 Media.
In their letter the lawmakers ask Noem questions about the app’s legality, including ICE’s legal basis to use the app to conduct biometric searches on people outside ports of entry; the databases Mobile Fortify has access to; any agreements between CBP and ICE about the app; information about the usage of the app, such as the frequency of ICE searches using the tool and what procedures ICE officials follow with the app; the app’s accuracy; and any policies or training to ICE agents on how to use the app.
“To ensure ICE is equipped with technology that is accurate and in compliance with constitutional and legal requirements, the Committee on Homeland Security is conducting oversight of ICE’s deployment of the Mobile Fortify application,” the letter says.
CBP acknowledged a request for comment but did not provide a response in time for publication. ICE did not respond to a request for comment.

Inside ICE’s Supercharged Facial Recognition App of 200 Million Images

ICE Is Using a New Facial Recognition App to Identify People, Leaked Emails Show
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is using a new mobile phone app that can identify someone based on their fingerprints or face by simply pointing a smartphone camera at them, according to internal ICE emails viewed by 404 Media. The underlying system used for the facial recognition component of the app is ordinarily used when people enter or exit the U.S. Now, that system is being used inside the U.S. by ICE to identify people in the field.The news highlights the Trump administration’s growing use of sophisticated technology for its mass deportation efforts and ICE’s enforcement of its arrest quotas. The document also shows how biometric systems built for one reason can be repurposed for another, a constant fear and critique from civil liberties proponents of facial recognition tools.
“The Mobile Fortify App empowers users with real-time biometric identity verification capabilities utilizing contactless fingerprints and facial images captured by the camera on an ICE issued cell phone without a secondary collection device,” one of the emails, which was sent to all Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) personnel and seen by 404 Media, reads. ERO is the section of ICE specifically focused on deporting people.
The idea is for ICE to use this new tool to identify people whose identity ICE officers do not know. “This information can be used to identify unknown subjects in the field,” the email continues. “Officers are reminded that the fingerprint matching is currently the most accurate biometric indicator available in the application,” it adds, indicating that the fingerprint functionality is more accurate than the facial recognition component.
The emails also show the app has a “training range,” a feature that lets ICE officers practice capturing facial images and fingerprints in a “training non-live environment.”
💡
Do you know anything else about this app? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.A video posted to social media this month shows apparent ICE officers carefully pointing their phones at a protester in his vehicle, but it is not clear if the officers were taking ordinary photos or using this tool.
Broadly, facial recognition tools work by taking one image to be tested and comparing it to a database of other images. Clearview AI for example, a commercially available facial recognition tool which is used by law enforcement but which doesn’t appear to be related to this ICE tool, compares a photo to a massive database of peoples’ photos scraped from social media and the wider web.
For the facial recognition capability of this ICE tool, the emails say Mobile Fortify is using two government systems. The first is Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Traveler Verification Service. As part of the Traveler Verification Service, CBP takes photos of peoples’ faces when they enter the U.S. and compares these to previously collected ones. In an airport those can include photos from a passport, visa, or earlier CBP encounters, according to a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) previously published by CBP. With land crossings, that can include a gallery of “frequent” crossers for that port of entry, the PIA adds.
The second is the Seizure and Apprehension Workflow. This is what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) describes as an “intelligence aggregator,” bringing together information related to searches and seizures.
“The app uses CBP's Traveler Verification Service and the Seizure and Apprehension Workflow that contains the biometric gallery of individuals for whom CBP maintains derogatory information for facial recognition,” the email reads. The exact definition of derogatory information in this context is not clear but 404 Media has previously reported on a database that ICE uses to find “derogatory” speech online.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
One of the internal ICE emails says the app also has a “Super Query” functionality, which is available to ICE officers who also have access to another CBP system called the Unified Passenger Login system (UPAX) which is used for passenger vetting. “This additional tool allows the user to Super Query the facial or biometric results to better assist in determining the immigration status of the person in question,” the email says.One of the emails says the tool uses DHS’s Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT), the agency’s central biometric system, for the fingerprint matches.
ICE did not respond to a request for comment. CBP acknowledged a request for comment but did not provide a response in time for publication.
ICE already has access to other facial recognition tools. A 404 Media review of public procurement records shows at least $3,614,000 worth of contracts between the agency and Clearview, for example. Clearview’s tool may reveal a subject’s name and social media profiles. But the company’s results won’t include information on a person’s immigration status or other data held by the government, whereas a government curated tool might.
“This information can be used to identify unknown subjects in the field.”
The Mobile Fortify app is just the latest example of ICE turning to technological solutions to support its deportation mission. 404 Media previously revealed Palantir, for example, was working with ICE to build a system to help find the location of people flagged for deportation as part of a $30 million contract extension. Palantir is now a “more mature partner to ICE,” according to leaked internal Palantir discussions 404 Media obtained.At first facial recognition was a capability only available to the government. Over the last several years the technology has proliferated enough that ordinary members of the public can access commercially available tools that reveal someone’s identity just with a photo, or build their own tailored tools. On Tuesday 404 Media reported that a site called ‘FuckLAPD.com’ is able to identify police officers using a database of officer photos obtained through public records requests. The same artist who made that tool also created one called ICEspy, which is designed to identify employees of ICE, although the underlying data is out of date.
ICE officers are consistently wearing masks, neck gaiters, sunglasses, and baseball caps to mask their identity while detaining people.
According to internal ICE data obtained by NBC News, the Trump administration has arrested only 6 percent of known immigrant murderers. Meanwhile, ICE continues to detain nonviolent, working members of immigrant communities who have lived in the country for decades, particularly in Los Angeles. NBC News says almost half of the people currently in ICE custody have neither been convicted or charged with any crime.
In May, the Trump administration gave ICE a quota of 3,000 arrests a day.

He was incarcerated in Theresienstadt ghetto on 2 December 1941. He wrote poetry there.
Franta was murdered in Auschwitz on 30 October 1944.
His poem "The Garden”.
A little garden,
Fragrant and full of roses,
The path is narrow
And a little boy walks along it.
A little boy, a sweet boy,
Like that growing blossom.
When the blossom comes to bloom,
The little boy will be no more.
