Donald Trump Declares D.C. a 'Crime Free Zone' Despite Reported Crimes

"With names like Investigative Case Management (ICM) and ImmigrationOS, the big data platforms Palantir provides for the Department of Homeland Security, and like those it offers the IDF, are fundamentally composed of four shared elements: the underlying data integrated into the system, the interpretation and modeling of that data through analytics, and the execution of automated actions – with or without human involvement. At every layer of this architecture, there are significant ethical questions regarding civil rights, data collection, data quality, bias, discrimination, accuracy, automation and, most importantly, accountability.
Ultimately, however, these platforms generate and track targets by exploiting a mind-boggling range of datasets. This can include deeply personal information such as biometric and medical data, social media data involving friends and family, precise location data derived from license plate readers, sim card data, and surveillance drone data. They can also process data purchased from a thriving ecosystem of private data brokers, or subpoenaed from companies such as Waymo and Meta. The lack of transparency regarding datasets exploited in these applications, and how they are shared across systems, further distorts the picture. That’s why it’s important to focus on the victims."

An diesem 1. September kommt mehreres zusammen.
Ein neuer Monat beginnt.
Es ist Montag und ich liebe Montage.
Also ein doppelter neuer Start.
Und während ich über dieses Neustart-Datum nachsinne, wird mir bewusst, dass heute vor vier Jahren der erste Tag war an dem ich offiziell voll selbstständig war.
Jetzt starte ich erst einmal in den September 2025.
Dafür habe ich den neuen #Schreibmonat angelegt, in dem auch der August verlinkt ist.

O vídeo apresenta uma série de ilustrações animadas que retratam a experiência de adultos neurodivergentes após quatro horas de socialização. Inicialmente, dois personagens, um verde e um azul, estão próximos, com o verde sorrindo e o azul com uma bateria verde quase cheia, simbolizando a energia inicial. A cena muda para o azul com uma bateria quase vazia, representando a exaustão. O verde, agora com uma expressão de exaustão, está em um cenário de desordem, com o azul em chamas, sugerindo um colapso. Em seguida, o azul está sentado à mesa com outros personagens, com pedaços de comida espalhados, indicando um desastre social. Por fim, o azul está deitado em uma cama, com um texto indicando que ele será totalmente carregado em três meses, sugerindo um longo período de recuperação. O texto "Neurodivergent adults after 4 hours of socializing" está presente em todas as cenas, e a marca "[@]THELANDOFRICES" aparece no canto inferior esquerdo.

How do we achieve degrowth?
"Orsagh wrote: “Degrowth is not going to come from the top. It will have to come from the grassroots, and that means people sharing these ideas, talking to other people, and slowly, over time building to a critical mass that those in power can’t ignore.” I believe that the best way to promote degrowth is by taking away barriers to voluntary family planning."

Teilnehmende sollen ihre Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse in Blogs oder auf sozialen Medien teilen. Dadurch wird das Wissen weiter verbreitet, und es entsteht eine Dokumentation der Sessions und Diskussionen, die auch für diejenigen nützlich ist, die nicht teilnehmen konnten.
Es hilft sehr, wenn Du Beiträge zum Barcamp likest, teilst oder kommentierst. Wenn Du eigene Beiträge schreibst oder Videos dazu machst.

Indian Court orders Internet block of Sci-Hub, Sci-Net and Libgen after publisher request
The Delhi High Court ordered the blocking of Sci-Hub, Sci-Net, and LibGen in India on August 19, 2025, following a copyright infringement case brought by academic publishers Elsevier, Wiley, and the American Chemical Society[^5][^7].The court found that Alexandra Elbakyan, Sci-Hub's founder, violated her December 2020 undertaking not to upload new copyrighted content by making post-2022 articles available through both Sci-Hub and a new platform called Sci-Net[^7]. While Elbakyan claimed this was due to technical errors and argued Sci-Net was a separate project, the court rejected these arguments[^7].
The ruling requires India's Department of Telecommunications and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to issue blocking orders within 72 hours, with Internet Service Providers required to implement the blocks within 24 hours[^7].
This case marks the first time Sci-Hub and LibGen faced legal action in a developing country[^2]. Earlier intervention attempts by Indian scientists and researchers had argued these platforms were "the only access to educational and research materials" for many academics in India[^2], with social science researchers specifically highlighting the "detrimental effect" blocking would have on research in India[^9].
