For weeks I have been telling reporters that #Trump could have the power to switch off our tech in #Europe. It felt a bit alarmist until I just read that #Microsoft, on the behest of the #US gov, has suspended the email account of Karim Khan, the #ICC chief prosecutor.

One of the most important international courts and a legal bulwark against #genocide, crimes against humanity, and #warcrimes is threatened by #BigTech dependency.

"Even if Wikipedia’s content was biased (it isn’t), even if every editor was actively trying to push an anti-Israel narrative (they aren’t), that would still be protected by the First Amendment. The government doesn’t get to threaten organizations over their editorial choices, no matter how much certain prosecutors or publications might dislike those choices."

A UK reporter asks about Signal gate, and I sense Marjorie Taylor Green is feeling pressured by the scandal.

See if you can spot it. 😀

The AI bots that desperately need OSS for code training, are now slowly killing OSS by overloading every site.

The curl website is now at 77TB/month, or 8GB every five minutes.

Finally, a large protest against the far-right and racism in the Netherlands. Amsterdam, right now.

Large and colourful crowd gathering in the Dam square.

Here it is: The first clear image of an eclipse of the Sun by the Earth, taken from the surface of the Moon.

This is what last night's lunar eclipse looked like from the Blue Ghost lander's perspective on the Moon. Amazing!

Blue Ghost got her first diamond ring -- light from the Sun streaming from behind the Earth. Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth.

@Mer__edith Wonder what issue you see with using local AI, as far as I can say* it’s working just fine for basic tasks like searching a calendar or todo list. If that would get access (through Siri API for example) to interact programmatically with other apps, it could still be quite powerful. *Tested using latest 3B param models on iPhone 15.

My partner used @molly0xfff 's static timeline generator to track all the crap Trump has been “flooding the zone” with since his return to office. Keeping it up to date has been overwhelming at times. americaisgoinggreat.com

Most of us are limited to expressing our disdain for the current administration through posts and comments on social media and/or sign carrying.

Gotta love the guy who buys a full page ad in the front section of the NYT to say what needs to be said:

A PLEA FOR DONALD TRUMP TO RESIGN Dear President Trump, I was born 80 years ago in a working-class neighborhood in Philadelphia. I was taught to respect all people, regardless of wealth, power, or status, and to be wary of the empty promises of politicians. Cops and firemen live in my neignborhood. Some still do. Some likely voted for you, thinking that you respected them. Then came vour order pardoning the thugs who attacked the police officers at the Capitol. Despite the fact that some of those officers died. Despite the fact that they had children and families that loved them. You called the thugs "patriots" and pardoned them. That filled me with disgust. It showed me that you don't give a damn about "law and order." You only pretend to care about the cops and firefighters who put their safety at risk every single day to protect our communities. l do not carry water for the Democratic Party. I was a member of the Republican Party when it stood for fiscal responsibility and the rule of law. When Republican presidents stood strong with our allies and never groveled before a dictator. Prostrating yourself to Putin is despicable. Your actions desecrate a flag that generations of Americans in uniform bled and died for. Americans like John McCain. His heroism showed us who he was. When you disrespected him, you showed us who you are.

Just to be clear on aid to Ukraine... #ukrainewar

A treemap infographic titled "The USA & Europe Have Given Equal Amounts of Support to Ukraine" showing military aid in billions. The USA has provided $69 billion, while European countries collectively contributed $66 billion. Key contributions include Germany ($13.6 billion), the UK ($10.8 billion), and Denmark ($8.1 billion). Smaller contributions are shown from other European nations and the rest of the world, totaling $3.1 billion. Data is sourced from the Ukraine Support Tracker (Kiel Institute) for the period from February 22 to December 24Bar chart showing Ukraine military aid as a percentage of GDP from various countries. Denmark leads with 2.04%, followed by Estonia at 2.03%, Lithuania at 1.48%, and Latvia at 1.35%. The USA contributes 0.3%, ranked lower despite giving the most aid in absolute dollars. Countries marked with symbols indicate borders with Russia (*) or Ukraine (+). Data from Feb 22 to Dec 24, sourced from the Ukraine Support Tracker.

Meanwhile in Denmark the Danes are striking back by putting black stars on products to help customers boycott American goods.

The image is a screenshot from a news article with the headline: “Do you want to boycott American goods? Now grocery giant puts a black star on European goods.” It mentions that customers at Netto, Føtex, and Bilka will now find it easier to identify European products. Below the headline, there’s a picture of an electronic price tag with a black star next to the price, indicating that the product is of European origin. The article discusses how this labeling system is designed to help customers choose European goods more easily.
