I'm really hopeful that my friends in the #EU will do something to pressure their representatives to oppose the controversial #ChatControl legislation.
You can learn more and find the details of your representatives here:
...but basically there are not yet enough opponents to form a blocking minority, and the relevant votes on the matter are expected to take place in mid-October.
Versions of the bill have been struck down three times already, but the current EU leadership is committed to trying for a fourth time thanks to lobbying from some questionable sources.
If passed, the legislation would mandate the adoption of "AI" client-side-scanning systems to scan text and media for offensive content even in the context of services using end-to-end encryption.
Put simply, AI does not work reliably enough to avoid falsely reporting random people for criminal behaviour, and even if it did there are insufficient safeguards to ensure it would not be abused to spy on protestors and political opponents.
I wrote an article about this more than three years ago in my former role as the lead of the CryptPad project, and the legislation remains largely the same since then. I recommend reading that for some good reasons to oppose this effort:
I still don't see many people acknowledging or writing about this risk of the technology, so I'll include the relevant section here:
> Finally, and perhaps most horrifying of all, is the risk that in trying to stop the distribution of CSAM, the agencies carrying out this task might inadvertently reveal information from their database of known material. Model-extraction attacks are a technique for reverse-engineering machine learning (ML) models, such as the ones used to detect CSAM videos and grooming text in the EU proposal. By making a large number of queries against an ML system and observing the results an attacker can learn what qualities it searches for. With that information it becomes possible to apply those qualities to synthetic images, producing results that are remarkably similar to those in the secret database of training data.
So essentially, by mandating that services embed machine learning models to detect child sexual abuse material (CSAM), law enforcement agencies would provide the technical capability for bad actors to train generative AI systems to generate offensive material.
This was already a risk in 2022 when I wrote about it, and the relevant technologies have only gotten more sophisticated since then.
I used that page to e-mail all German MEPs since Germany's stance seems to be "undecided". I've received a bunch of automated "we're on holiday" replies and one MEP has copy&pasted a reply saying that he's opposed and is working to convince the whole fraction.
Chuis franchement mal à l'aise face à cette take. C'est aujourd'hui reconnu que le bruit est une forme de pollution qui impacte la santé. Qu'il engendre du stress et qu'il exclut les personnes neuroatypiques (personnes autistes, TDAH) qui sont en général extrêmement sensibles au bruit. Je crois pas que la célébration du bruit soit une grande idée…

Je continues mes réflexions là-dessus de manière un peu désordonnée mais déjà le sous-entendu selon lequel les pauvres font du bruit et les bourgeois, non — j'ai pas vu passer d'étude socio sur le question, mais… — ça me semble… erroné ? Peut-être une des raisons pour lesquels certains quartiers sont plus bruyants que d'autres est tout simplement l'occupation de l'espace public par les personnes bruyantes — par exemple des personnes extraverties — qui chassent d'autres populations ?
On sait qu'il y a une corrélation entre occupation physique de l'espace public, l'occupation sonore et l'espace public et le genre. Par exemple les personnes qui mettent leur musique sur haut-parleur dans les transports publics, c'est quasi-systématiquement des mecs ?
Et pour répondre à la question de pourquoi les gens appellent les flics au lieu d'aller demander gentiment de baisser le son c'est parce que t'as 1 chance sur 2 de te faire envoyer chier voire te faire agresser.
En tout cas moi les rares fois où chuis allé voir une personne pour lui demander de faire moins de bruit, je me suis fait recevoir…
Et puis l'argument « si tu veux du calme tu vas à la campagne »… C'est ça ta solution ? Interdire la ville aux personnes qui supportent mal le bruit ? C'est pas très la gauche comme position, ça…
Je sais pas. Sur le sujet la première chose qui me vienne à l'esprit c'est qu'on peut pas espérer loger 10x, 50x plus de personnes sur la même surface et espérer que ça reste silencieux. Tout le monde aime le calme. Après y'a celleux qui peuvent se l'offrir, aka une maison avec 1000m2 de jardin pour un foyer, et les autres, aka 3 immeubles de 20 apparts chacun sur 1000m3
@vieveca Ah mais c'est une question extrêmement politique. Mais précisément ça mérite mieux que les take nulles de cette vidéo comme postuler que vivre dans le bruit, c'est naturel. En réalité, pendant l'immense majorité de son existence, l'immense majorité de la population humaine a vécu dans des niveaux de bruit extrêmement faibles.
Tout comme poser comme principe parfaitement inquestionnable le droit de faire du bruit en paix jusqu'à 22h comme le fait Léo en moitié de vidéo… 🙄
Faut que j'écoute la vidéo pour me faire une idée. N'empêche que naturaliser l'appréciation du bruit pour les gens qui ont pas le choix de vivre dedans ça me laisse pantoise 😳
En vrai, les villes sont pas si bruyantes. Bien sûr, les endroits où il y a de l’activité (bars, restaus, commerces, boîtes de nuit…) le sont un peu plus, mais une ville peut être plutôt silencieuse en étant assez dense.
La source principale de bruit en ville… ce sont les voitures.
(et d’ailleurs pour les bars et restau, ce serait sans doute moins bruyant si les gérants mettaient pas de la musique à fond de balle qui t’obliges à hurler pour discuter avec ton voisin…)
@breizh @vieveca Les villes, c'est l'exemple qui est donné dans l'article au début de la vidéo. L'a personne qui l'écrit explique avoir grandi avec les bruits de la ville (klaxon, boom bass, gens qui parlent fort) et avoir été gênée par le silence de l'université de l'ivy league.
Mais en vrai, ouais la campagne c'est bruyant aussi. Y'a des machines agricoles, des animaux domestiques et sauvages… Moi j'ai grandi avec les poules et les chevaux

Trump's United States race to the bottom sees no limits. It is very VERY unfortunate that there is no other leader in the world willing to talk against Trump.
Blocking Mahmoud Abbas from UN, should lead to threats from other nations to move the UN out of the US.
“ People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs.

Of the 226 members, 135 declared that they or their families own two or more properties, 70 own three or more properties, and 31 own four or more. Only 16 MPs, 7%, have declared owning no property at all.
I'm pretty sure it was a mistake to allow property investors to make the property investment laws.
Our government has not been captured by property investment oligarchs.

⚡️ BREAKING: Ex-parliament speaker shot dead in Lviv.
Andrii Parubii, a Ukrainian politician who previously served as the parliament speaker, was shot dead, Lviv Oblast Governor Maksym Kozytskyi reported on Aug. 30.
Earlier in the day, the National Police said that a political figure was murdered after a shooting in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv.
Miulle on vieras ajatus, että vasemmistolaisuus itsessään olisi raskasta. Tunnen kyllä tosi paljon tuskaa ja epätoivoa sen takia, että elän julmassa riistokapitalistisessa yhteiskunnassa, joka ei yhtään vastaa arvojani, ja jossa joudun tekemään välillä valintoja kahden huonon vaihtoehdon välillä. Se on kuitenkin kapitalismin ongelma, ei sen, että olisin vasemmistolainen. Poliittinen, omaehtoinen tekeminen on minulle vastavoima tälle maailmantuskalle.
I had to block a trans gal today. I fucking hate that.
But where I have to draw my line is promoting transphobic, right-wing canards that they use to try and drum up an extermination against us. You get one strike, I'll call you on it, and then you're gone.
L'immagine mostra una scena notturna con un grande orologio a muro in pietra, illuminato da luci artificiali. L'orologio ha numeri romani e un design elaborato. In primo piano, un ombrello con un motivo a strisce blu e gialle, con un simbolo al centro, è in volo, suggerendo un vento forte. La scena è ambientata in un edificio storico, con una balaustra e una struttura in pietra visibile sullo sfondo. L'atmosfera è misteriosa e suggestiva, con un contrasto tra la luce e l'oscurità.

A female police chief has said she was “furious” when she heard a Reform MP saying she “never feels comfortable” when she sees two female police officers together rather than a male and female officer.
"So many in the West throw around the word “democracy”, like some divine virtue they are deeply, intimately connected to, even though they’ve never lived in one. They’ve only lived in a free market capitalist supermarket that has run out of products and is now putting peoples’ lives on the shelves" George Tsakraklides

Al centro, su un palco coperto da un drappo rosso, si trova una sedia reale, simbolo di potere. Attorno al palco, un gruppo di persone in abiti medievali, alcuni con elmi e spade, suggerisce un'atmosfera di corte o di evento storico. Sullo sfondo, un'entrata imponente con una porta di legno massiccio completa l'atmosfera di un'epoca passata.

Here's an idea. What about any companies which pay their workers so little that they have to claim benefits are subject to government fines to reclaim some of that money? Isn't that better than companies who pay their workers so little they have to claim benefits which are paid for by the tax payer while the company takes huge profits? There should be no so called working poor. If only we had a socialist party in government instead of parties which fawn to the agenda set by the far right...

With all these nationalist flags being put up, I wonder if we could have a fundraiser to raise money for LGBT and Trans Flags and then fly them from lamp-posts too? We could remove the nationalist flags at the same time.

The government has nothing to do with the judgement. The courts did. Judges do not act under instruction from government, as you'll remember from all that "Enemies of the people" shit when the judiciary told May's government to obey the law.
This judgement has nothing to do with the European Convention of Human Rights. The case was brought to an English court and was judged by English Law and the council lost because it broke English law. The ECHR is only mentioned in the judgement to say that it wasn't involved in the verdict.

A rare account of myself showing up in one of my photos, the red stuff in lower corner is my jacket... haha. I don't know how this happend, I am usualy carfull. But it was a verry windy day, and with the rangefinder camera there was no way to know. I kinda like it anyway. It reminds my that I was there then.

Verstöße gegen Parteiengesetz: AfD musste bisher 1,1 Millionen Euro zahlen
Unzulässige Spenden, falsche Angaben oder zweckwidrige Verwendung von Fraktionsgeldern - seit 2017 mussten die Bundestagsparteien wegen solcher Verstöße rund 1,8 Millionen Euro bezahlen. Mehr als die Hälfte davon entfiel auf die AfD.
