  • Maybe if you opened your eyes you would notice that sitting at a table full of fascists is slightly different than a state visit.

    Quick breakdown:

    Willy Wimmer is a German fascist - or as Wikipedia calls it “nationalist right-wing” former politician. He has written for the far-right extremist shitrag Compact, for “alternative media” (aka nazi blogs) and for Russian state media.

    Cyril Svobado has been invited to observe Azerbaijan’s 2013 presidential election and mentioned that everything was “fair and transparent”. An election result was accidentally released before voting began in that election. He has also given an interview to “Voice of Europe” who are infamous for interviewing nazi politicians across Europe.

    Emir Kusturica is a Serbian nationalist, supportive of war criminal Radovan Karadžić and has expressed support for the “Greater Serbia” ideology. He is a supporter of Russia’s war against Ukraine and a “personal friend” of Shoigu.

    Why is Jill Stein sitting on the same table as Russian-sponsored nazis?


  • Two reasons:

    • Sleep data can give some information on your health but isn’t regulated as strictly as health data. Health data == Money
    • Companies want your time and attention. TV manufacturers want you to use your TV as much as possible, social media companies want you to use their platform as much as possible, video game developers want you to play their games as much as possible. Nintendo successfully gained people’s time when outside through Pokèmon Go already. Now they’re trying to expand to your time sleeping. There’s not much time left which isn’t utilized by companies somewhat. Maybe there will be a Pokèmon School/Work soon?

  • Well, TOTP prevents at least these attack vectors, even for tech-illiterate people:

    • Unnoticed data base leaks being used to gain full access to people’s accounts
    • Credential stuffing (using another service’s leaked credentials to gain access)

    With TOTP there must be at least some contact between the “hacker” and the victim.


  • I think most people are just unaware of the risk that is involved. Healthcare information is some of the most sensitive data on a person and should be protected at all cost.

    Some older people in particular have as much of a self-preservation instinct on the internet as toddlers in real life. If protecting them takes away a tiny bit of agency from them then so be it because they cannot be trusted with such decisions. I believe any reasonable person would use MFA because trading off a tiny bit of convenience for a significant amount of security is always worth it.








  • Suppose the man is blind then. He has the ability to jump but is unaware of the trolley hurliing towards the people on the track. While he has the ability to act his only “crime” is being unaware. Isn’t this equivalent to the original trolley problem?

    [I]t may rather be supposed that he is the driver of a runaway tram, which he can only steer from one narrow track on to another; five men are working on one track and one man on the other.

    In this case, all six men are unaware of the runaway trolley heading towards them, believing themselves to be safe. The one working on his own track has not made up his mind yet as to whether he would want himself to be sacrificed. You would impose your own will onto him, wouldn’t you?

    I don’t have any solution for variations of the trolley problem that satisfy me. I would likely act based upon what I felt was right at the time without considering (all) the implications. Without the threat of running out of time however, I believe it’s much more difficult to decide how to act.
