EU governments are pushing to set up deportation camps in non-EU countries — and to do so in a way that avoids judicial scrutiny.
These so-called “return hubs” would hold people who have received a final deportation order, even if they cannot be sent to their country of origin.
Pack Your Corporate Social Media Go Bag
If you use #Meta, #Bluesky or #Substack have an escape plan!
As repeatedly demonstrated, corporate platforms are vulnerable. Will you be ready when they inevitably bend to data exploitation, political manipulation and censorship? Has it already started?
Have a plan to evacuate to Public Social Media. Create backup accounts on #Mastodon and #Ghost and use them as secondaries. Be prepared. Begin building your online presence free from corporate overlords.

Really cool commission I hadn't shared outside of my Ko-fi yet: @cato contracted me to design a real printed circuit board to use as a badge for the event FurryTram Frankfurt!
Learning to set up the vector layers to be manufactured as one was really neat. Cato also thoughtfully sent me my own copy!

O Paquistão usou 100% de armas chinesas e transformou em sucata cinco dos melhores aviões de guerra ocidentais e russos da Índia.
Eles voaram com Rafales franceses, drones israelenses, MiGs russos e mísseis SCALP... e nenhum deles conseguiu voltar para casa. Zero.
Primeiro abate de um Rafale? Cortesia de Pequim. Espero que a Dassault tenha mandado flores.
As ações da Dassault caíram, os investidores ocidentais entraram em pânico e as ações de defesa chinesas dispararam 18% em um dia. Aparentemente, os jatos chineses baratos podem realmente ser mais poderosos do que um bird da OTAN de US$ 100 milhões. Quem sabia? A China sabia😄
Enquanto isso, em Tel Aviv: modo de pânico existencial ativado (quando é que isso nunca aconteceu?)
A mídia israelense está "oficialmente preocupada" porque adivinhe quem também possui esses mesmos sistemas de defesa chineses? O Egito.
Sim, o mesmo Egito que acabou de voar com JF-17s chineses sobre as pirâmides em exercícios conjuntos com a China. Mazel Tov😉.
O que acabou de acontecer não foi uma briga regional. Foi um anúncio global: A tecnologia militar ocidental não é intocável. E Israel? Talvez pare de se preocupar com as armas nucleares do Irã e comece a se preocupar com os mísseis chineses estacionados na porta ao lado? Ou talvez não se preocupe... para que possamos ter uma surpresa agradável de vez em quando?
Bem-vindo à nova era.
Impulsionada pela China. Com o pânico do Ocidente.

A imagem mostra duas bandeiras cruzadas, uma da Índia e outra do Paquistão, contra um fundo escuro. A bandeira da Índia tem três faixas horizontais: saffron (laranja) na parte superior, branca no meio e verde na parte inferior, com um Ashoka Chakra (roda azul) no centro da faixa branca. A bandeira do Paquistão tem duas faixas verticais: branca na parte de trás e verde na frente, com uma lua crescente e uma estrela branca no centro da faixa verde. Entre as bandeiras, há uma barreira de arame farpado, simbolizando uma fronteira ou conflito entre os dois países.

Always considered "Cosmic Conspiracy" to be maybe /the/ most underrated piece of music the German death metal subculture ever managed to come up with. Apparently the band somehow reunited in 2023 and re-released that album (pay-what-you-want, no minimum) via bandcamp. And ... there's even a website talking about upcoming new stuff. Would be interesting. For sure.

Die Binnengrenzkontrollen von Dobrindt sind rechtswidrig - Volksverpetzer
Die von Dobrindt angeordneten Grenzkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen sind rechtswidrig, erklärt der Recht-Professor Hruschka.Gastbeitrag (Volksverpetzer)

Dobrindt hat bei der #Maut schon gezeigt, dass ihm #Recht und #Gesetz egal sind.
Er und Söder haben die ganze Zeit gesagt, dass sie sich nicht daran halten wollen.
Dadurch, dass M€rz ihn zum Innenminister ernannt (und diverse Ministerien an Wirtschaftsvertreter vergeben) hat, hat er bewiesen, dass Gesetze künftig ausschließlich dazu dienen sollen, die Bevölkerung zu gängeln.

Moscow is reportedly demanding that Ukraine withdraw troops from what it calls "its territory" to agree to a ceasefire — among other new conditions.

Kann jemand eine #privacy-freundliche #Schrittzähler App für #Android empfehlen, die ohne Smartwatch/Fitness Uhr funktioniert? Suche für meinen Papa, der mag beim handwerken aber keine Uhr tragen. Muss auch nicht super akkurat sein, Richtwerte würden ihm schon reichen.
Apps von #fdroid bevorzugt, aber Play Store geht auch, solange die App Open Source ist. Deutsches Interface wäre nice.

Yes. However, you pay for the account rather than giving Substack a percentage of the substiption revenue. Works out you make a lot more money. Plus Ghost is open source and a non-profit.
