Hi. I program stuff.

Under-socialized people can quickly become convinced they’re more complex than they actually are

Endlessly focusing on yourself and your interests makes you assume everyone else is “normie” and shallow simply because you don’t know them well enough

@rfleury The thing is, the modern developer infrastructure is amazing. There are testing frameworks galore, GitHub Actions provide vast compute, LSPs are amazing, finding documentation has never been easier, etc.

Everything is in place for developers to succeed. Mediocrity is a choice.

Dutch intelligence agencies got caught training AI on citizen data they weren't supposed to have.

the CTIVD, the Netherlands' official intelligence oversight body, published a report finding that AIVD and MIVD staff accessed and retained massive bulk datasets in ways that violate Dutch law.

names. phone numbers. location data. social media. communication content. millions of entries. some from government sources. some commercially purchased. some stolen by criminals and bought on the dark web.

and then Bits of Freedom, the Dutch digital rights organization, flagged something buried in the report: the agencies appear to be training their own AI models on this data.

this is not the first time.

in 2020, the same watchdog found the same agencies had retained citizen data far beyond legal limits. after complaints, they were ordered to delete it.

six years later: same report. same finding. same agencies.

but now with AI in the loop.

the data that was illegally retained is now reportedly being used to train models that will make future surveillance faster, more accurate, and more autonomous.

you cannot opt out. Unlike commercial AI companies, there is no settings menu. no privacy center. no right to delete that you can actually exercise.

Bits of Freedom put it directly:

"They seem to be buying data from criminal data breaches. aren't they supposed to be protecting us from those?"

Ursula von der Leyen really saw her Chat Control law get rejected twice and decided to force it through with an emergency vote 5 minutes before the summer break

Talk the talk about Democracy, but she definitely doesn't walk the walk.

Despicable person.

@LundukeJournal I thought that Debian's entire selling point was high stability, even if it means dependencies tend to be a bit outdated?

The further footage only makes this look worse.

It shows the victim of the attack who had already been arrested being escorted to the police car, with a female officer calling him a “dick”, before he's put into the police vehicle the wrong way.

From start to finish, the whole incident appears to have been handled poorly.

In my view, the police should stop doubling down, acknowledge that serious questions have been raised, apologise if mistakes were made, and carry out a full, transparent investigation into what went wrong.

Public confidence isn't restored by telling people not to share the footage. It's restored by showing accountability when policing appears to fall below the standard the public expects.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Definitely don’t share this video of them forcing the man into the car backwards and then becoming aggressive when he (obviously) doesn’t fit.

We gave women men's last names so that men were made legally responsible for the women in case the men decided to run off.

Feminists pretend not to understand this or are genuinely stupid.
