  • not even just an apologist, a literal hardcore german neonazi. matthew garrett surfaced a 2018 mail to a devuan mailing list chock full of nazi historical revisionism that you don't get into casually.

  • fwiw, there's a telling detail about ptaček's attitude to people who he doesn't see as his equals or peers: today is a second day in a row when he's not able to use proper pronouns with regard to hazel weakly (who dared to criticise his article), despite being corrected by more than one person.

    it's either malice, or the principal engineer at fly dot io is not able to remember a single fact despite being informed about it three times.

  • oh, typical techdirt eu-bashing, this time again because we have regulations.

    (i wouldn't be surprised if they're conflating regulations with panic on purpose and packing valid criticism of llms and image plagiarism generators with the ridiculous tescreal screeds just to discredit the former; masnick's primary stance was always extreme tech libertarianism and american exceptionalism, and the whole publication follows this)

  • Hugging Face scrapes Bluesky, surprised when Bluesky users object
  • i bet that bluesky worked with them to get their company and all their personal accounts established at bluesky as the primary social media channel.

    Attached: 1 image I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so. We (@redford@infosec.exchange, @mrtick@infosec.exchange and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced a...

    from the “i'll drm your arse” and “industrial sabotage r us” department, a true scandal: a polish train manufacturer used firmware to lock out trains at 3rd party service depots in order to disrupt the operations of the trains for the railways who did not choose to service the trains at the manufacturer's; at the same time they blamed the 3rd parties for their inability to properly service the trains.

    further reading in polish (but translates via google well): more technical and less technical, but with more political/economical details.
