Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected them to the Internet.

This was a clue and we just didn't listen.

Frontline just dropped part one of their investigation "Exposing Pegasus... something even George Orwell couldn't imagine..."

Ihr könnt keine Brand-Werbung ohne Google, Adition und 100 andere Datenhandelsfirmen anbieten? Warum habt ihr euch nicht zusammengetan - in Europa, im dt. Sprachraum oder zumindest im AT?

Warum habt ihr - anstatt der unsäglichen Lobbykampagnen zur Schwächung des ORF - nicht mal öffentlich-rechtliche Ressourcen dafür eingefordert?

Also in 1983, Lucasfilm (later Pixar) made the first high-resolution computer-generated image that was supposed to be near-photorealistic and "a single-frame movie".

"The Road to Point Reyes" took a month to render.

Oho, #fefe ist wieder da.

Incredibly satisfying read. Fuck all these assholes who crowned themselves the Savers of Society without asking any of the rest of us what we wanted even once https://ez.substack.com/p/moving-fast-and-breaking-things

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.

Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.
