Fishing nets are being repurposed in Ukraine to catch Russian drones. Strung over roads and checkpoints, the dense mesh tangles drone propellers, offering a simple defense—especially effective against fiber-optic drones immune to jamming.

Germany’s far-right AfD aims to mimic Trump’s U.S. strategy by deepening partisan divides and framing politics as a clash between conservatives and the radical left. The goal: break its political isolation and enter government by dismantling the firewall against them

It started off “we’re going to arrest them and make them face justice”, then became “we’re going to expooooose!”, and now it’s “nothing to see here”.
It’s all so tiresome.
I’ll give Adam credit for accurately labeling (most) people on NAS as “not really political”; politics, the game of pretending that you have any say and that the demons may one day be exorcised from the country by voting, is retarded.
The real problem, obviously, is the gun manufacturers.
wait, wait.. You're actually implying that Bernie is *not* divisive? HOLY FUCK, that's classic.
Don't make me go get the 25-year "oligarchs" supercut. "Oligarchs", in Bernie's vernacular, means anyone with slightly more money than him. His three houses = just fine. Four houses? Sic 'em, Bolsheviks!
that's why him and Rogan get along so well.
an oligarch isn't just rich. it implies that their wealth gives them much more influence over society than the rest of us. I will never understand how libertarian-minded folks focus almost exclusively on government control of their lives, but rarely on the influence that the very wealthy can have (or if they do, it's only certain rich people doing things they don't like).

Missbrauch in der Psychotherapie - Wenn der Schutzraum zum Tatort wird
In Deutschland erkrankt fast jeder Zweite im Laufe seines Lebens an einer psychischen Störung. Therapieplätze sind rar. Vollbild-Recherchen zeigen, wie manche Therapeuten ihre Machtposition ausnutzen.
Außerdem, die Leute, die da in die geschlossene kommen sind oft untervögelt und die mit Depressionen in offenen Stationen auch.
Ich kenne so viele Fälle, bei denen sich 2 auf Therapie kennengelernt und ihren vögelbedarf nachgeholt haben.
Wenn dann Frau oder Mann Geilheit signalisiert, Menschen sind auch nur Tiere, kann ich mir vorstellen, daß Pfleger oder auch Ärzte diese Signale empfangen und es dann und wann zu Taten kommt.

Tech Companies Have Created a Loneliness Doom Loop
Tech companies have found a way to market digital goods to lonely people, promising relief through connection, but this kind of connection isn’t the solution; it’s the problem. Calling loneliness an epidemic transforms a feeling into a pathology to be cured, creating a loneliness economy. Reframing a universal human experience like loneliness as a medical diagnosis creates a market opportunity to manufacture, sell and buy treatment. The prescription given for loneliness is connection, and Big Tech has found a way to seize the vulnerability of lonely people eager to escape their predicament.Meta’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, argues that A.I. companions can help fill what he sees as a friendship gap. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, is developing an A.I. “companion” that will live with users and, the company claims, be capable of sensing their surroundings. Replika, a generative A.I. chatbot, touts customer claims like “I love my human-like A.I. companion” and “Replika understands me better than any real guy ever did.” “Friends come and go, but GalaxyAI has your back,” another ad reads. Social media, dating apps and A.I. companions won’t alleviate loneliness; they will make it worse by giving people a way to avoid their aloneness.

When tech hardware becomes paperweights
Now I have this blood pressure monitor device that doesn't work without a logged in app and is a paperweight. I'm lucky I never invested into their ecosystem of health products. Lesson is no matter how popular a brand is, there is no guarantee they will be around. I've lost all my health data and there is no way to get it back.

爬蟲盜資料重判／七法當庭坦承法源資料完整才去爬 「法學版Google」遭重判揭密
知名法學資料庫業者法源資訊公司，指控有「法學版Google」之稱的七法公司透過爬蟲程式，抓取法源資料庫中的數十萬筆法規沿革及附件後，供檢索查詢方式營利，被告當庭坦承法源「法規沿革」資料內容豐富完整才會去爬取，新北地院痛批業者「昧著良心與事實」，明明公司有被起訴，負責人卻發公告稱公司「沒有被起訴」來誤導消費者，日前依違反著作權法，分別重判七法創辦人郭榮彥與謝復雅4年及2年有期徒刑，且須與七法連帶給付法源1億0545萬餘元，引起各界矚目。

爬蟲盜資料重判／七法當庭坦承法源資料完整才去爬 「法學版Google」遭重判揭密 - 鏡週刊 Mirror Media
知名法學資料庫業者法源資訊公司，指控有「法學版Google」之稱的七法公司透過爬蟲程式，抓取法源資料庫中的數十萬筆法規沿革及附件後，供檢索查詢方式營利，被告當庭坦承法源「法規沿革」資料內容豐富完整才會去爬取，新北地院痛批業者「昧著良心與事實」，明明公司有被起訴，負責人卻發公告稱公司「沒有被起訴」來誤導消費者，日前依違反...鏡週刊 Mirror Media
根據判決書指出，該起官司最大爭點在於「法規沿革資料」，因為法官認為法源耗費大量心力、時間與金錢找人逐筆整理編輯的「法規沿革資料」屬於《著作權法》所保護的「語文編輯著作」。
判決書直指，法源對法規制定、修正發布日期、發文字號、沿革序號等12點特色均有其獨創性的編排方式。對於政府「公文」或「編輯物」，必須進一步審閱法規條文、主管機關嗣後之施行命令或其他與法令異動有關之內容，整理出其整部法令或不同條文之脈動，尤其涉及法令之施行、替代、廢止、合併、移轉管轄…等特殊情事。此均有賴精準之文句，詳述其變動狀況，更顯示其必須具備專業法律知識之高度「原創性」。
其中更有很多資料幾乎在全國法規資料庫與司法院法規查詢系統中都無法查詢到，法源為了建立資料庫，不惜砸大錢、找人從舊書攤買書比對文件核實、一字一句輸入並印出校對，長年投入龐大心血才能在司法圈累積信譽，七法利用多隻爬蟲程式每天爬走法源資料，已明顯侵害其著作權
