Don Trueten :antifa:<p><strong>Philip Holland, Luke Holland'ın babası - Luke'un doğum günü olan 4 Nisan 2025'te parlamentoya mesajı:</strong></p><p> Hayatım yaklaşık 10 yıl önce harika oğlum Luke'un katledilmesiyle ve yaklaşık 5 yıl önce de eşim Rita'nın hayatının sona ermesiyle, bitti. Hepsi Rolf Zielezinski'nin Neo-Nazi ve yabancılara karşı nefreti, yüzünden. Savcının onu neden Neo-Nazi diye, nefret cinayetiyle suçlamadığını, evinde kolayca yeniden etkinleştirilebilecek çok sayıda silah ve Nazi/Hitler hatırası varken, asla anlayamayacağım.</p><p> Luke ve Rita'nın kaybı için, her geçen gün üzülüyorum. Bu katilin kısa bir süre içinde tekrar 3 oğlu ve ailesiyle birlikte olabileceği gerçeğini tamamen içerliyorum.</p><p> Kaybımdan poliside sonsuza dek sorulumlu tutacağım, zira daha önceki Burak Bektaş cinayetinde şüpheli olarak bilinen Rolf Zielezinski'yi yetkin, kapsamlı ve tarafsız bir şekilde soruşturmadıkları için .Eğer öyle olsaydı, oğlum ve eşim bugün hâlâ hayatta ve benimle birlikte olurdu.</p><p><a href="https://www.trueten.de/archives/13630-Philip-Holland,-Vater-von-Luke-Holland-Botschaft-an-das-Parlament-zu-Lukes-Geburtstag,-4.-April-2025.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">via</a> </p><p></p><p> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Burak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Burak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Bekta%C5%9F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bektaş</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Neuk%C3%B6llnkomplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neuköllnkomplex</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Luke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Luke</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Holland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Holland</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Ferat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ferat</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Ko%C3%A7ak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Koçak</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Heinz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Heinz</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Ostermann" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ostermann</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Berlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Berlin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Neuk%C3%B6lln" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neukölln</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Irk%C3%A7%C4%B1l%C4%B1k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Irkçılık</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Polis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Adalet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Adalet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Naziler" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Naziler</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.trueten.de/tags/Antifa%C5%9Fizm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Antifaşizm</span></a></p>

the magpie<p>Idag är internationella dagen mot polisvåld. Om ni vill läsa något passande till temat rekommenderar jag Jonas Lundströms bok "Batongerna slår neråt" (som jag ärligt talat fortfarande inte hunnit läsa). Boken analyserar hur polisen och hela rättssystemet skyddar en ojämlik och orättvis samhällsordning med våld, som riktar sig i största utsträckningen mot dem som redan är mest utsatta i denna ordning. </p><p><a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/polisv%C3%A5ld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polisvåld</span></a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/InternationalDayAgainstPoliceBrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalDayAgainstPoliceBrutality</span></a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/NoJusticeNoPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoJusticeNoPeace</span></a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/polis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>polis</span></a> <a href="https://social.spejset.org/tags/PolisNejTack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PolisNejTack</span></a></p>
Andrew 🌻 Brandt 🐇<p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Colorado" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colorado</span></a> is going to lead the way on protecting its citizens from abusive practices by companies that are producing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> engines and tools.</p><p>A bill introduced in the current session by Rep. Manny <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Rutinel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rutinel</span></a> (<a href="https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1212" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-12</span><span class="invisible">12</span></a>) is designed to offer specific whistleblower protections to software developers working on AI projects where they have reasonable cause to believe that their project could cause harm.</p><p>The bill, HB25-1212, is also called the "Public Safety Protections Artificial Intelligence" bill. (No clever recursive acronyms here.) It prohibits tech companies from retaliating against workers who report that AI engines or their training set may violate law, cause harm, or create a risk to public safety.</p><p>For years, folks like <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pluralistic</span></a></span> and the team at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@404media" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>404media</span></a></span> have been sounding the alarm bells about the actual and potential harm AI creates. It has almost become a joke at this point. But we do not have to put up with endless abuse!</p><p>Technology workers are among the least well protected against employer malfeasance or malicious retaliation, and have among the lowest membership in organized labor, so I call on this community to support this bill and ask if you would be willing to testify in support of it. It will be introduced next week (date TBD).</p><p>Governor <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Polis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polis</span></a> signed some AI safety bills (including a landmark AI consumer protection law last year, <a href="https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-205" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">leg.colorado.gov/bills/sb24-205</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>), but has been getting heavy pushback from the tech industry, and his support is flagging. Let's let Jared know that he needs to stand up for the people of this state, not enormous conglomerates. </p><p>Please reply or send me a Signal message if you're willing to lend your voice to support this important worker protection law. I will be posting regular updates about the schedule for its committee hearing as more information becomes available, and will send you specific instructions about how to register to testify (you can do so in writing, over Zoom, or in person at the state capitol in Denver). You do not need to be a Colorado (or even US) resident to testify.</p><p>LFG!</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/COPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AIslop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIslop</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DeEnshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeEnshittification</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>labor</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/workersrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workersrights</span></a></p>

Alex Doppelgänger<p>🏺 In his work "The Republic" from around 380 BC, Plato compares Socrates' opponents to "weak Petteia players, who are eventually cornered and immobilized by the more intelligent ones." Aristotle said that "a citizen without a state can be compared to an isolated piece in a game of Petteia."</p><p>🏺 From the fact that they used such metaphors we can imagine that Plato and Aristotle were big fans of Petteia (a name that translates to "pebbles"). This was a strategy board game which was highly esteemed by the intellectuals of ancient Greece, because you didn't move your pieces with the help of dice (not leaving the game to the will of fate, mind you).</p><p>🏺 Petteia was quite similar to another Roman game called Latrunculi (or Ludus Latrunculorum), equally strategic. So up to this point, we understand the rules quite well, and you can read a bit about them here: </p><p>➡️ <a href="http://www.cyningstan.com/game/63/petteia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">cyningstan.com/game/63/petteia</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> ⬅️</p><p>🏺 As for its origin, Plato claimed that it came from Egypt. In fact, the game may be even older than the Trojan War (according to Kyppo Jorma, in his book "Board Games: Throughout History and Multidimensional Spaces") which, as far as we know, took place in about 1190 BC. We suspect this because we have pottery dating from 550-500 BC that depicts Achilles and Ajax playing Petteia (see image), and Homer mentions this game in his works.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Petteia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Petteia</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Polis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Polis</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Greece" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greece</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BoardGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGames</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BoardGameStudies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BoardGameStudies</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Plato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plato</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Aristotle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aristotle</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ludus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ludus</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Ludo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ludo</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Games</span></a></p>
