Ich bekomme hier ja stets Gegenwind, wenn ich sage (zugegeben: behaupte), dass die eine Ablenkung von der ist, weil sie wirklich nur anfallen muss, wenn der Tod sehr (!) unvorhergesehen eintritt. Sie lässt sich weg gestalten.

Nun weigere ich mich, hier Steuertricks zu verbreiten. Aber ich sage es mal so: Wenn ihr mir das nicht glaubt, glaubt ihr vielleicht Marlene hier:

Saw an interesting USB-PD decoy device online. This one negotiates for 5A at 12V, so 60W total. Its form factor is just a short cable, with a USB-C plug on one end, and ... a 3.5mm socket on the other.

I see no possible way this could go wrong.

😆 🤦‍♂️ 🌩️ 🔥

Spiders of the genus *Cyclosa* living in Peru and the Philippines use silk and debris to build decoy spiders that are as much as ten times larger than themselves, evidently to deceive predators.

South Gloucestershire man jailed after booking Mumbles B&B to meet “underage girl”

49‑year‑old Rodolfa Galvao, from Yate in South Gloucestershire, had been communicating online with what he thought was a 14‑year‑old girl. In reality, the account was a decoy operated by a volunteer group.

Galvao arranged to meet in Swansea in July and was challenged by members of the group when he arrived at a city centre bowling alley carrying a rose and a bar of chocolate. Police were called and he was arrested before he could check in to the Mumbles accommodation he had booked for two nights.

A search of his phone revealed sexually explicit messages sent to the decoy account.

At Swansea Crown Court, Galvao pleaded guilty to attempting to meet a child under 16 following grooming. He was sentenced to 14 months in prison, placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years, and made subject to a sexual harm prevention order for the same period.

“He poses a danger to children”

Detective Constable Rebecca Brain of South Wales Police said:

“Rodolfa Galvao believed he was communicating with a child and still sent explicit sexual messages to them, even going to the lengths of arranging to meet them.

It is clear that he poses a danger to children, and it is fortunate that the ‘child’ at the other end of the conversation was not real. He is fully deserving of a spell in prison.”

The court heard Galvao had no previous convictions. Judge Paul Thomas KC said there was “only one reason” why the defendant had booked the Mumbles hotel room and that he showed “no real remorse, only self‑pity.”

Support for survivors

South Wales Police said they recognised how difficult it can be for survivors of sexual abuse to come forward, but urged victims to seek support.

“We hope cases like this one provide reassurance that victims will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and will be supported throughout the judicial process,” a spokesperson said.

Swansea man jailed after sending sexual messages to decoy account he believed was a child

Believed he was speaking to a child

Christopher Jones, 55, of Swansea’s SA1 Waterfront, exchanged explicit messages with an account he believed belonged to a girl under 16. In reality, the account was a decoy run by an independent online child protection team.

Jones pleaded guilty to attempting to incite a girl aged 13–15 to engage in sexual activity and attempting to engage in sexual communication with a child.

He was sentenced to 28 months in prison.

Police response

Detective Constable Tim Davies of South Wales Police said Jones’s behaviour showed he posed a clear risk to children.

“Christopher Jones’s messages to the decoy account were abhorrent and it was clear that he believed he was speaking to a young teenager.

People like Christopher quite clearly pose a risk to the safety of children, and it is highly fortunate that the person on the other side of the conversation was a decoy rather than a real child.

He will no longer be able to pose that risk now that he is heading for prison.”

DC Davies added that there is “absolutely no defence, justification, or excuse for the horrific crime of child sexual abuse.”

Support for survivors

Police said they recognise how difficult it can be for survivors of sexual abuse to come forward, but stressed that victims will be listened to, treated with dignity and respect, and supported throughout the judicial process.

Anyone affected by sexual abuse who is not yet ready to report to police is encouraged to seek help from specialist support services.

Arguing that incrementally more powerful LLMs make AGI inevitable is akin to arguing that sufficiently enormous quantities of shit will magically turn into delicious cake.

@mshelton @freedomofpress @eff I did prepare peoples' devices for that in the past.

My suggestions:

0. Never assume you'll have any #HumanRights or #CivilRights. Always assume #TSA staff is looking for a reason to jail, deport, deny entry or shoot one on the spot.

1. Do not have data on them! #CPB will seize any storage media under threat of lethal violence! Use a #ThinClient-like device without any persistent storage. Keep anything important in your head or don't keep it at all.

2. Have someone to setup a #RemoteDesktop for you post-entry and enshure you've got a #SafeWord to indicate you're acting under duress, so they can redirect stuff to a inconspicuous system.

3. Have a #decoy system ready. CPB have full, unrestricted bulk access to all data from companies that are located, do business in or have an office within the #USA as per #CloudAct. So much so that they consider it "suspicious" if one doesn't have an #NSABook account.

4. Make shure all your devices are #clean. Get yourself new throwaway devices and don't trust them if you ever let them out of sight for a second!

5. Test your setup before you travel to the #US on a different system.

6. This applies to every single device from #SimCard to #Laptop. Assume that if authorities plug anything in them, they are irredeemably compromised!

7. Practise proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec. Have proper contingencies and emergency contacts in place.

Other ducks nicknamed him Daffy for falling in love with the decoy left on the pond after the hunting season. But he adored her unruffled plumage and their companionable silence. 🦆 #30words30days #november #catchup 5/30 #decoy #writingcommunity #writing #flashfiction #microfiction (Daily prompts by WritingDani on the X-place.)
