China für die deutschen Autobauer – Einst Goldgrube, nun Belastung de.rt.com/meinung/257111-china… Die wirtschaftlichen Beziehungen zwischen dem von Brüssel gegängelten Deutschland und China stehen vor einer entscheidenden Wende. Was einst als fruchtbare Partnerschaft galt, hat sich in eine Arena zunehmender Spannungen verwandelt. #news #press



"[A] pending bill in Congress level aims to protect just one of the impacted groups — lawmakers — not just from data brokers but from reporters and activists as well. The bill, sponsored by Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Ted Cruz, does nothing for the rest of us except undermine our ability to hold lawmakers accountable. It would allow members of Congress to remove information about themselves from the internet altogether, regardless of whether data brokers are involved.

But even more strangely, the legislation falls short of its own goal of stopping data brokers, and therefore won’t make members of Congress safer. As a coalition of rights groups explained recently, the bill falls short of what we should expect from Congress, in terms of both efficacy and transparency.

The bill wouldn’t adequately protect lawmakers from data brokers because it wouldn’t apply to certain data brokers at all.

The bill specifically exempts any data broker covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a federal law governing the collection and use of consumer information, or the Graham-Leach-Bliley Act, a federal law that protects sensitive data held by financial institutions.

This loophole means that bad actors could still buy lawmakers’ private information from data brokers..."

Really good interview with Green MP Chloe Swarbrick, on Gary's Economics. She certainly understands (and can articulate) the inequality and regressive taxation problem we have here in NZ - and thinks it is one of our biggest problems, as I do. Can she get enough support in NZ to make some progress?

She points out what people outside NZ are often surprised to learn - our taxation system is one of the most regressive in the world. No tax-free thresholds on income, no inheritance taxes and almost no taxes on capital or capital gains.

Repost: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, Nothing justifies the ongoing genocide in Gaza. This massacre would not happen without the complicity of those who could prevent it. I express my admiration for the Jews who, inside and outside of Israel, oppose this collective punishment.

NHSbuntu - with Rob Dyke


Rob and I do a detailed review of the - ‘two bottle of wine problem’ - NHSbuntu project which we built together back in 2017, relating how we used the great work already existing in the Linux and Open Source community to quickly put together a fully-functional, NHSmail-ready, stable, secure, legacy-app-friendly and low cost operating system for the NHS. With help from our friends (shout out to Brett Jackson, Cián Hughes, Rani Sen, NHS Spine Team, NHS Digital Delivery Centre, and others) we quickly had a working NHS Spine Identity Agent, and we virtualised/containerised anything that looked like it wasn’t fit to face the ravages of the internet. Then we got shut down. Here’s the story.

…There could have been a world in which QRISK3 was pre-installed on every desktop in the NHS instead of Minesweeper…

Our ‘Final Straw’ NHSbuntu post on OpenHealthHub openhealthhub.org/t/nhos-close…

Gemini’s summary of the NHSbuntu project

The NHSbuntu and NHoS (National Health Operating System) project was a significant grassroots, volunteer-led effort that captured the imagination of many in the UK's health tech community.1 Its story is as much about its technical ambition as it is about the challenges of working with large public institutions.

The project was largely driven by a small team of core volunteers, who were also health professionals and technologists, giving them a unique perspective on the challenges they were trying to solve.2

Dr. Marcus Baw: A General Practitioner (GP) and technologist, he was a co-founder of the project.3 Dr. Baw was a prominent voice in the open-source community and a "clinical informatician." He played a crucial role in advocating for the project's goals and was often the public face of the team, blogging and speaking about their work.

Rob Dyke: Described as the project's "ISO-master" and a technologist, Dyke was instrumental in the technical development of the operating system itself.4 He was responsible for building the custom Ubuntu distributions (ISOs) and working on key features like smart card integration.

Community: The project's developers actively fostered a community on platforms like openhealthhub.org, encouraging contributions from other IT staff, clinicians, and enthusiasts within the NHS.

The NHSbuntu/NHoS project began in early 2017, spurred by the need for a more secure, cost-effective, and flexible alternative to the NHS's heavily Microsoft-reliant IT infrastructure.7 The WannaCry cyber-attack in May 2017, which severely disrupted NHS services, highlighted the vulnerabilities the project aimed to solve, giving it a surge of public attention and support.8

In January 2018, the project was officially shut down.15 The developers, led by Dr. Baw, cited the constant legal threats and a lack of high-level support from key NHS bodies like NHS Digital as the reason for closing the project.

They felt they were being "used as leverage" in internal discussions about a new enterprise-wide agreement with Microsoft, and that despite interest from "grass-roots" IT staff, the higher echelons were not interested in backing an open-source alternative.16

The project remains an important case study in the challenges of introducing grassroots open-source initiatives into a large, politically sensitive, and highly bureaucratic public sector organization

"Although Microsoft claims to implement innovative technology to reduce water usage for its data centers, this new edifice will certainly disrupt the wildlife and alter the quality of the water Wisconsin citizens will consume.

Repost: The President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama. The UN founding charter is outdated when it comes to representation. The most powerful post World War 2 nations are still being rewarded with an almost totalitarian guardianship over the rest of the world.

The image shows a mobile application interface with a red header at the top. The header contains the text "Cadance" in white, with a left arrow icon and three vertical dots on the right. Below the header, there are three tabs labeled "VIDEOS," "PLAYLISTS," and "INFO," with "INFO" highlighted in white. The main content area is a light gray background with the word "DESCRIPTION" in black, followed by the text "Good People, Good Times." Below this, there is a "SUBSCRIBE" button with "RS 464" next to it. The interface appears to be for a channel or user profile, with options to view videos, playlists, and additional information.

画像には、お好み焼きが盛り付けられた白い皿が写っています。お好み焼きは、卵、肉、ネギ、海苔、醤油ベースのソース、マヨネーズ、そして緑のネギがトッピングされています。皿は、金色の模様が施された縁で、チェック柄のテーブルクロスの上に置かれています。お好み焼きの隣には、黒い缶と透明なグラスに入った飲み物が置かれています。缶には「なんとでも」という文字が書かれています。全体的に、お好み焼きは美味しそうで、飲み物と一緒に楽しむことができます。

The image shows a close-up view of a natural surface with two distinct areas. On the left side, there is a vibrant green patch of moss, characterized by its dense, soft, and fuzzy texture. The moss appears healthy and well-nourished, with a rich green color that suggests it is thriving in its environment. On the right side, the surface is covered with a mixture of small, light-colored pebbles and gravel, creating a rough and uneven texture. The pebbles vary in size and color, with shades of white, gray, and brown, and some darker spots that could be small patches of lichen or dirt. The moss and gravel areas are separated by a distinct boundary, with the moss encroaching slightly onto the gravel area, indicating a natural transition between the two surfaces. The overall composition highlights the contrast between the soft, organic texture of the moss and the hard, inorganic texture of the gravel.
