📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

I think I found out what microplastics does to a person. I can only wish this person to get better and maybe get a therapist.

Unironically not even. The techpriests would get out their heavy flamers because of that one time humanity got terminatored by AI. Even They are against AI rotting peoples brains. And if the machine loving fanatics have a better grip on reality than then, they should touch some grass in my opinion.

Well. 50% funded in the first nine hours is a hell of a thing to wake up to! I don't THINK we're going to make 100% in the first 24, as the initial rush always tapers off a bit, but in the first 48 to 72 is reasonable – and who knows? Y'all may yet prove me wrong!

It was so bad that the people from the GDR were ready to overthrow the government. Restricting coffee is apparently a really really bad idea.

On a related note, those mugs exist. If you can read the bottom, your coffee is too weak for a German.

A mug with a vintage blue glazing that reads Flood at the rim and ebb at the bottom

Damn that one even works in English. German weak coffee is Bodenseekaffee (ground-see coffee). Not because of the lake but because you can see the ground of the mug even when the mug is full.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
