"Dass es vielleicht keine gute Idee ist, in Zeiten transatlantischer Verwerfungen die privaten Daten deutscher Bürgerinnen und Bürger mit der Analysesoftware eines umstrittenen Unternehmens aus den USA zu durchleuchten, scheint den Mitgliedern des Bundesrates mehrheitlich nicht bewusst zu sein."
Palantir: US-Software für die deutsche Polizei – was kann da schon schiefgehen?
Der Bundesrat möchte die umstrittene Analysesoftware von Palantir bundesweit für die Polizeiarbeit einsetzen. Das ist eine schlechte Idee, aus mehreren Gründen.

der punkt, den ich die ganze zeit machen will: wenn wir nicht schleunigst die realität einer faschistischen machtübernahme in den usa anerkennen, offiziell und auf allen ebenen, und und entsprechen verhalten, werden wir in diesen sog mit großer macht reingezogen werden.
wer den ganzen tag vor putin warnt und gleichzeitig peter thiel regierungsauftträge und kontrolle von sensiblen daten bewilligt, hat ein ziemlich verbeultes threatmodel.

"Liberale" "Intellektuelle", die sich von einem Kulturkampf gegen "woke" derart blenden lassen, dass sie die rechtsextreme Machtergreifung übersehen, sind wirklich eine der größten Blamagen unserer Zeit. Die tägliche Fremdscham ist kaum zu ertragen.

Immer wieder die ernüchternde Erfahrung, wenn man sich in einem Thema wirklich gut auskennt: Wie viele Fehler Medien in der Berichterstattung darüber machen. Und dann die bange Frage, ob das wohl bei allen anderen Themen auch so ist.

It was a very Rogue Year in Wildlife Detection: 2024 was (bio)diverse!

We're grateful to our "pawsome" collaborators for their dedication to noninvasive wildlife research. Here's looking at you 2025 (& all the species our #ConservationK9s will sniff for).

In Finnish the word for aurora “revontulet” means “fox fire” because according to legend the origin of the Northern Lights are arctic foxes running so fast that their large, furry tails would brush up snowflakes into the sky - as in my #linocut #FolkloreSunday

Trump illegally firing the youngest, fittest US Forest Service firefighters after a few weeks of bullshit about how the LA fires were caused by government incompetence is quite a thing.

FYI the designed esmGFP is 58% identical to the most similar extant GFP sequence - hence "500 million years of evolution" - but nearly half of the novelty (the 42% unaligned part of the seq) is derived from one other protein. Originally caught by @btnaughton.bsky.social, source link in alt text
