“The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy, the empathy exploit,” Musk said. “There it’s they’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response.”
-Elon Musk, Feb 28, 2025

“In my work with the defendants (at the Nuremberg Trials 1945-1949) I was searching for the nature of evil and I now think I have come close to defining it. A lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants, a genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow men. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
-Captain G. M. Gilbert, the Army psychologist assigned to watching the defendants at the Nuremberg trials

reminds me of the joke about the hacker who stole a top secret LISP program and published the last page of the code to prove it

Lynnesbian reshared this.



In Germany, where 85 percent of the population say they trust the French, only 16 percent now say they trust the US.

Meanwhile in Denmark a new Berlingske poll came out where 92 percent of Danes say, we need to focus on Europe — not the US — when it comes to security. Only 3 percent disagree.

Trump is completely rebranding the US as an Oblast of Russia.

@eff
Why can't that be an app which monitors mobil cells and its parameters (position, network tech version, etc.) I passing by?
If these parameters are shared (of course optionally) it would also be possible to map radio towers and cell specifics on OSM or similar map services for easier checkups...

I'm so proud that we have the great @safiyanoble with us at @cubouldercmci! She is tracing her path from growing up in a segregated food desert to studying algorithmic racism.


A tale of two presidential coverages by WaPo. A stark example of how the legacy media helped push us into this disaster. On the top, Trump today with 151K jobs. On the bottom, Biden in 2021 with 194k jobs.

During the @spritely fundraising campaign, we promised that we'd thank our Diamond, Gold, and Silver tier donors in the credits of our demos/games. So, we just published an update to Cirkoban (our game from 2024) that "backports" our supporters into the credits! Thanks to @a for rewriting the credits sequence code to make this possible.

I think @thelinuxEXP's video on Firefox's shenanigans hits the nail right on its head.

And regardless of how they want to spin it, and how many times they try to change the ToS and FAQ, saying anything even remotely close to "we have the right to use your data to operate Firefox" does still mean they can sell your data, if selling your data is required to operate Firefox, which is yet another sneaky change to the software away from being a thing.

Anything short of "we will NEVER sell or otherwise make available for third parties by any means ANY of your data, for ANY purpose, barred judicial obligations" means they will sooner or later share your data with third parties.
