"The demand for more Innovation (and sometimes even the request for more research) has become a way to legitimize not doing anything. A way to say "the unpleasant solutions we have are not perfect but in the future there might be a magic solution that doesn't bother us and everyone gets a fucking unicorn"."

Innovation is a distraction
The headline is of course a bit of a provocation. Not all Innovation is a distraction, there are many areas in which meaningful work happens any day to generate some form of relevant new product or process or technology.tante (Smashing Frames)

So lange das Boulevard war¹, war das kein problem.
Politik-Talkshow ist was anderes, grundlegend problematisch und solang da keine Formate existieren, die Taubenschach verhindern, sollten sie das lassen.

Left her feeling amiss,
Tarnishing the victory so penny.

Someone use AI to translate the copypasta into Eminem-like lyrics, and then fed them to another AI to make a real rap song out of it.

• nicht auf engstem Raum zusammenpferchen
• willkommen heißen
• menschlich begegnen
• arbeiten lassen
Dazu sollten wir Ressourcen bereitstellen, die Kommunen damit nicht allein lassen.

"Hulu is developing a follow-up to the cult favorite series, with original star Sarah Michelle Gellar attached. The new project comes from writers Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face, Fringe) and 20th Television and is described as ‘the next chapter in the Buffyverse.’ Oscar winner Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, Eternals) is set to direct."

On a slightly lighter topic, there is a Netflix limited series entitled "Zero Day" which from the trailer (youtube.com/watch?v=FOfBiiPdQP…) looks to be slightly "exaggerated" from a pure technical perspective. The IMDB listing does not show any infosec-related technical advisor. I am wondering how shit this is going to be. On the plus side, a hell of a talented cast!

It lost me at the "three thousand, four hundred, two people died" from O day? O Lord! What BS will Hollywood come up with next?
Meanwhile, Mollywood (slang term for Malayalam cinema) released I Am Kathalan last year, which had a brief Nmap cameo (I let Fyodor know, though I don't see it on nmap.org/movies/ yet), MAC address spoofing and some other plausible infosec hijinx including a "white hat" woman in pursuit of the protagonist. Precisely 0 deaths!
Here's the trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=wg_d34GNd4… though when I watched it, I was the only person in the theater.

Watch the First 2+ Hours of MTV's Inaugural Broadcast (August 1, 1981)
Not everyone on August 1, 1981 had a VCR at their disposal, and not everybody stayed up until midnight. But fortunately at least one person did, in order to tape the first two hours of a new cable channel called MTV: Music Television.OC (Openculture.com)
You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing heat-proof gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.
Never seal a bottle containing an active tear gas canister—you don't want it to explode.
One role you could play at demonstrations is to show up prepared to protect your fellow human beings from toxic gas, in case the mercenaries deploy it.

#Invidious scheint mir nun leider endgültig tot zu sein. Sämtliche Instanzen, und das sind etliche, die ich gespeichert haben, werfen den gleichen Fehler.
Die Liste der als öffentlich genannten Instanzen wird (eher wurde) täglich kürzer.
#Piped funktioniert zwar noch, hat aber auch haufenweise Fehler.
Es sieht nicht gut aus mit freien #Youtube Frontends.
Offene alternativen wird es wohl eher nicht geben, weil man auf denen ja keine Kohle mit #Werbung verdienen könnte.
Also mal schnell ne Instanz in einem #Proxmox-Container installiert.
Scheint im Browser soweit zu funktionieren.
#freetube klappt leider nicht, aber damit kann ich erstmal leben (Meldung: Error invoking remote method 'generate-po-token': Error: Failed to fetch).
Scheint i'wie darauf hinzudeuten, dass die öffentlichen Instanzen nicht auf dem aktuellen Stand gehalten werden (oder so).
Freetube funktioniert hier auf Android-Smartphones stressloser als NewPipe. Letztere App zeigt zuerst eine Fehlermeldungen einmal oder mehrmals und rafft sich erst nach wiederholtem 'Push The Button' dann irgendwann doch zum Arbeiten auf.
Die Programmierer haben es aber auch nicht leicht mit den Google-Gegnern, die mit Zähnen und Klauen ihr nerviges Werbe- und Abo-Geschäft zu retten versuchen..
I use Icinga2 to collect the remote data from several servers onto a central monitoring server, and integrate it with Grafana to display graphs for each service.
This is rather old school now as I set it all up ten years ago, and I think there are more streamlined ways to do it now, such as InfluxDB and Prometheus.

Diesels also seem much more prevalent in Europe. The USA relegates such things mostly to freight trucks. ;(
It's a generalization, but to me at least, all the best forms of motorized conveyance that humans have collaboratively invented, seem to exist outside of the USA. Japan and the EU seem to excel in such realms. I don't just mean cooler cars (albeit maybe some with less in the way of crash testing or emissions regulations as might be required in California) but high speed rail systems too.

Does the link go in the sites header or footer?
Does it have to go on each page, or does it work sitewide if it's a personal blog with only me writing?

I don't want your AI image description because I don't want a direct literal translation of the picture content.
I want to know what the person posting thinks the picture is about.
Three different people could use the same picture to talk about bus stop design, traffic congestion or this one beautiful dog waiting at this intersection. They will have different descriptions of the same picture.
White women are about to be the latest to learn that when you support fascists because "they'll go after other people and improve things for me", "other people" always shifts to include you eventually

White men who think you won't be next on the chopping block: I guarantee you have a lot more in common with the "other people" than you have with the people in power.
