Meet Jasper, adopted by broh

“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”

-- JRR Tolkein

ist aber schon komisch das phaser messer verbieten will und dann ein terrorist aus dem hut gezaubert wird.

sonst waren das ja eher immer irgendwelche streits mit messern.

Sweden's Minister of Justice confirms that criminal groups "infiltrate the police and society".

“We should have done something 10-15 years ago”, he says.

Well, you were all too busy calling people racist for pointing out the issues.

And now when we all have a huge crime problem due to immigration and denial, and the violence is spilling over the borders from Sweden into Denmark and Norway, the ministers are cooperating across the borders to blame TikTok and let Swedish and Norwegian police patrol together. Meanwhile, Denmark wants more migrants from Africa.

@gabriel if their participation was enabling oppression, it'll be shaming and boasting if ill befalls them.

it's the difference between "going along with digital mrna injection certificates" and "believing in the food pyramid".

one of these is so obviously evil and dystopian that i likely won't cut these people slack. the other one is people eating unhealthy stuff.

actions should have consequences. that enabling state oppression never has consequences is the problem.

@torparskytt it absolutely does give the developers incentive to do not good things, like eugen consulting for sentiment analysis stuff. luckily that one did went nowhere and now the domain points to a online casino scam xD

> Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk: Das Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) hat ein großes Versprechen. Und dieses Versprechen lautet: Wir bringen den starken Staat zurück, einen autoritären Staat. Es ist, nebenbei gesagt, auch die Verbindung zur AfD.

die einzigen die hier seit jahrzehnten autoritärer staat machen sind SPD, CDU, grüne, FDP, linke.

google truly is useless now. you cant search for shit

EU funding AI instead of FOSS should be food for thought what things they do that are corrupt as well, without you noticing

I like this.

I also came here to whinge a bit about how my small town public library book group is reading Orwell's 1984. I think they think it was a funny choice. I've never read it before. I get queasy and can only digest it in small portions, mostly laying down. Ooof. It's so sinister and infuriating, probably because it reads like a how to guide for the current era.

Remember to turn off the faucet when brushing your teeth so there's enough water to cool the data center.
