Ich war mal aktiv, wirklich richtig aktiv bei XR.
Paar Jahre her.

Es gibt einen Haufen Gründe, warum ich angewidert raus bin. Einer davon:
Ansage war, dass wir unsere Plakate und Banner nicht mehr selber machen sollen, sondern so schicke Plastebanner mit vorgegebenen Farb- und Symbolmuster drucken lassen sollten.

Leuten, die das Kacke fanden und meinten, das sei umweltschädlicher Mist, wurde erklärt, das sei wichtig, man müsse jetzt am Dringlichsten Leute zu Mitmachen animieren.

From Bruce Schneier:

What do you suppose happens if the next train is too far away to receive the stop signal? If I were Polish I’d be expressing concern about this.

Remotely Stopping Polish Trains

[2023.08.28] Turns out that it’s easy to broadcast radio commands that force Polish trains to stop:

...the saboteurs appear to have sent simple so-called “radio-stop” commands via radio frequency to the trains they targeted. Because the trains use a radio system that lacks encryption or authentication for those commands, Olejnik says, anyone with as little as $30 of off-the-shelf radio equipment can broadcast the command to a Polish train -- sending a series of three acoustic tones at a 150.100 megahertz frequency -- and trigger their emergency stop function.

“It is three tonal messages sent consecutively. Once the radio equipment receives it, the locomotive goes to a halt,” Olejnik says, pointing to a document outlining trains’ different technical standards in the European Union that describes the “radio-stop” command used in the Polish system. In fact, Olejnik says that the ability to send the command has been described in Polish radio and train forums and on YouTube for years. “Everybody could do this. Even teenagers trolling. The frequencies are known. The tones are known. The equipment is cheap.”

Even so, this is being described as a cyberattack.

"The ultimate definition of who is an elite, is who can get who fired. That's the ultimate test, who can get who boycotted, blacklisted, ostracized, prosecuted, jailed. I think that's always the question, who can destroy whose career. And of course you'll notice that is heavily asymmetric, when these fights play out, it's very clear who can get the other side fired, and which side can't." --Marc Andreessen
