What the USA does around the world, including in Palestine via he IDF, comes back home.
I know some USians will recoil and deny this link. Fine. That denial, that wilful ignorance, is what got you to this point.
Good luck.

Seems Cilia Flores, wife of Maduro, was beaten in US custody. She's almost 70 years old.
Big tough guys beating a 70yr old lady.
If you're a US citizen, I hope you feel deep shame in your country.
This behaviour is not easily forgotten.

Well done America.
Ask yourself how you got to the point where a foreign billionaire goes on US mainstream media to tell you to end the First Amendment in order to protect that foreign power.
He specifically demands "control" of social media platforms and an end to privacy.
And anyone who speaks out is "antisemitic".
Well done. 👍

Thanks GrapheneOS
In that case I think the latest YouTube ads must have found a way past the vanadium filter.
I realise it is a constant game of cat and mouse between ads and ad blockers.
I'll try to post a screenshot if I see it again.
(it was specifically on the YouTube web page accessed by vanadium, not the YouTube app)

Is there an OS-level adblocker for GrapheneOS ?
Is there one for the Vandium browser?

After the initial euphoria I've been a little concerned that Polanski might be screwing up.
His YouTube podcast channel is a primary means for him to tell the public what he thinks (by proxy, by choosing who to interview and the topics they'll discuss).
The most recent several videos have been about topics that were "hot" during the Brexit debate and the culture wars that followed.
This is "looking backwards" in my opinion.
Gary Lineker, Femi Oluwole, Natasha Devon, Marina Purkiss, Mike Galsworthy ... as much as I think these are good-hearted people, they are associated with that era's struggles.
I think this will hamper him.
He needs to be talking to people who are associated with today's and tomorrow's issues.
When he spoke to Gary Stevenson, that was someone talking about today's and tomorrow's challenges. And guess what? .... that conversation has twice the views of the next most popular conversation on his channel. And the one with Femi is in the bottom 3 with a 1/20th of the views.

privacy *risk* is estimated differently - it takes into account the observed behaviours of an adversary - like the EU
the impact is also huge when the scaler is EU scale
the risk also includes the adversaries capabilities - which include future legislation

it won't be an improvement in digital privacy
the EU is working to ban end-to-end encryption
the EU is the same one wanting to water down the GDPR rules
the same one that has double standards for democratic rights, free speech and human rights - demonstrated almost daily

this is the kind of shit that happens before a revolution
Starmer and the establishment need to remind themselves of basic GCSE politics. Repression doesn' make a society more stable. It gives a temporary illusion of stability until it explodes.
God I fucking hate that colonial supremacist hangover that still poisons us today.
Destroying our democracy for what? Someone else's genocide?

this is so sad
I will not forget how my own MP has ignored 3 letters on this issue - where on issues he has replied within 2-3 days
I will not in particular forget the crimes of this Labour government's front bench
Even in this terrible hour, I still have hope that something positive comes from this - that the British public are awoken to this extensive web of lies and manufactured consent
Final thoughts are with the peaceful hunger strikers and their families

2025-12-21 17:31:24 UTC

I've written to David Lammy MP.
I doubt it will change him.
But at least history will record that he wasn't ignorant of his crimes.

One of the anti-genocide hunger strikers is a young woman aged 20.
At day 35 of a hunger strike your body is eating itself. She's on day 49 by the time you read this.
After day 40 death can be sudden without warning.

Listen to the voice of hunger striker Kamran Ahmed.
This is a dark time in the UK. The government, a Labour government, is persecuting these individuals to likely death, gaslighting us as to their intentions.
He is physically weak,
But his spirit is strong.

Let's say we don't know what the right balance between medics, admins and managers is.
The regional structure of the NHS should be an opportunity for different regions to try different ideas.
So that we can learn what works and replicate, and also learn what doesn't work and so avoid.
It feels really unintelligent to impose one model across the entire NHS. Not only does one size rarely fit all, it is also inherently risky from the above "engineering" analysis.
A key lesson is that the larger an organisation, the more important it is to maintain its ability to "learn".
And the approach doesn't just apply to the balance between medics-admins-managers .. it can apply to other decisions eg procurement, commissioning GP services, use of pharmacies, solving the dentistry puzzle ...

This story reminds me ...
... I still don't understand why genuine viable alternatives to US "big tech" have not emerged, nor been encouraged by governments around the world (except China).
1. There is no trade-secret knowledge required to make generic versions of Azure, AWS, YouTube, Google Docs, LinkedIn etc... indeed this mastodon is an example of that, and there is a long tail of independent small hosting providers, and open source tools eg for office productivity.
2. Perhaps none of the ventures has been allowed to grow to crucial mass, by hostile practices like takeovers or legal threats? I don't know.
3. Perhaps state-level support for digital sovereignty has been lobbied against and neutralised that way?
I don't know. It's a puzzle, and the barrier isn't technical know-how or availability of skills.
Back on topic - we need to outcompete things like LinkedIn with alternatives that have more transparent and open algorithmic accountability, imho.

I know next to nothing about economics.
But I was wondering... what would happen if the state monopoly on interest rates was removed?
Let the market decide. And let the market have many interest rates, not one per sector or even one annually.
Just as prices are generally "per contract".
Would this lead to a disaster? Would it help, and who would it help? Has it ever been tried?
Just thinking aloud......

I very quickly left a company that used the corporate laptops to monitor how many minutes you were away from the device at home.
No only is this (1) insane, it is (2) an invasion of privacy an disrespectful of humanity, and (3) doesn't actually result in more / better work, (4) causes people who have self-respect and the privileged ability to go elsewhere to leave, leaving the less good or less fortunate to stay, lowering the overall level of the business.
In short, middle management is generally - with very very very few exceptions - shit. I say this with 30 years experience across organisations large and small, public and private.
UPDATE - some staff bought those little USB dongles that simulate mouse movement to fool the spyware.

LLMs are here to stay.
Why?
Because lots and lots and lots of ordinary people who aren't experts will continue to use them - regardless of their accuracy or ability to reason.
Over the last few months whenever I've reached outside my bubble I'm surprised at how "normal" it is for every day folks to be using LLMs in all parts of their lives.
And that will drive further investment by big tech.
I think the only way to reduce usage is to convince the general public to see it as unethical - like dropping litter or smoking indoors. If cigarettes are anything to go by, that won't happen for decades.

◉ Remember all those people who argued like hell that the maps showing Israel stealing Palestinian land were mistaken.
◉ Remember those people who argued for weeks trying to cast doubt on Israel bombing a Gaza hospital in 2023.
◉ Remember all those people who argued like crazy that journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was shot by Palestinians.
Look out for people like that.
They are not good people.

I'm not sponsoring them until they take the issue of poor and biased moderation seriously
we've provided ideas but they are dismissed
ideas such as
1. baseline transparency on rationale for moderation, disposable by the data subject - this is just GDPR
2. visible metrics on accounts which report a lot - to identify bad actors
3. independent "second opinion" appeal system where data subject can nominate alternative moderation
4. visible metrics on bias eg which instances shut down anti-genocide voices more than others
5. visible metrics on successful responses to admin tickets (to identify which ones ignore them, including formal GDPR requests)
... and on and on...
