Just wanted to say that I talked to my grandma about it, she was working together with the Jews in Auschwitz (my family is from the neighbor village) in a company which made chemicals (IG Farben). When she walked home she could always smell the burned human bodies. She said everyone knew what was going on there.

The point is to pretend to the world that you are a democracy.

No, I don't think so.

I remember going voting with my parents in the 80's in communist Poland. Voting was mandatory, so you would get into trouble if you wouldn't go. It also wasn't private, so you basically had to show what you voted for before putting your ballot into the ballot box. On top of they there was only one party which you could vote for.

My guess is that their revolt will be similar as the recent Chinese and Russian ones.

I likes the first season, felt a bit like spinoff of The Good Place.

When me and my sister were 6 and 4 our dad came in to our room to tell us a bedtime story. He lied down with us on the bed and started telling the story.

It was just before Christmas and because our flat was small we had the Christmas tree with lights on in our room by the door, and we were on the other side of the room on the bed by the window, ca. 3 m away

Once he was done withe the story suddenly in the same moment the Christmas light turned off. That was in Poland in the 80's so no home automation or anything.

He told us the Jesus baby turned it off because it was sleeping time. Even as a 6years old I was suspicious about that answer because it was a one time thing. But I never figured out how he did it.

 

I had the feeling I couldn't poop for some reason for two days, I also had some sickness from being exposed to too much AC (the doctor said), the doctor gave me medicine against the other stuff which works wonderfully. But my stomach hurt a lot so I ordered a 1 liter bottle of prune juice because I heard it helps against constipation.

Once it arrived I drank the whole bottle at once just to be sure, because I heard it's a natural mild laxative and my stomach hurt so much.

And it worked very well, after 2 hours I was running to the toilet and getting rid of whatever was stuck in there. It worked very well, my stomach stopped hurting after one more hour, wonderful!

But I didn't need to drink the whole bottle, I'm stuck on the toilet the whole afternoon now because as soon as I get out, 2 minutes later I need to run back in, so it's just easier to stay on it.

I think like a cup or two might have been enough.

 

Framasoft released v1.0 of their mobile app for PeerTube: https://joinpeertube.org/news/app-v1

In this video I'm going through the features which I want to see from a PeerTube Mobile App and test those out which have been implemented in v1.0 which were quite many.

I used to edit family videos in Kdenlive without a problem — it handled footage from all our devices without complaining. But then I switched to DaVinci Resolve, things got difficult. My Sony Alpha 7C, my Galaxy S24, and my wife's iPhone all produced files that Resolve couldn’t handle without transcoding.

Every time I wanted to edit, I had to hunt down the right ffmpeg settings and manually run them on each video — a frustrating and repetitive task.

My typical workflow is simple: I create one folder per event on an external HDD and drop in videos from all our cameras. A script renames the files based on the date and time so I can easily sort them. But for Resolve, everything has to be transcoded to DNxHD — which only supports resolutions like 1920×1080 and 1280×720.

That also meant vertical videos couldn’t work. So now, I rotate them during transcoding to preserve resolution and rotate them back in Resolve during editing.

I built Recoder to automate this annoying step — so I could spend more time editing memories and less time fiddling with command-line tools.

 
  • The Rise of "Little Tech": Small startups and SaaS vendors—often backed by Silicon Valley venture capital—are leading the charge in AI-powered workplace surveillance, embedding tracking tools into everyday HR and productivity software.
  • Global Surge, Local Collapse: While countries like Brazil, Mexico, and India have privacy laws on paper, enforcement is weak, allowing both domestic and foreign vendors to deploy invasive technologies unchecked.
  • Gig Workers as Guinea Pigs: Gig economy workers in sectors like delivery and rideshare are the frontline subjects of AI surveillance, subjected to real-time tracking, biometric scans, and even models that predict union activity.
  • Surveillance Disguised as Care: AI surveillance is increasingly framed as a tool for safety, wellness, and productivity—masking coercive oversight in the language of health and efficiency.
  • Privacy Theater: Many vendors offer copy-paste privacy notices while quietly retaining worker data indefinitely. In countries like Mexico and Colombia, some companies even conduct home visits and collect data on workers' families.
  • Workers are Fighting Back: From sanitation workers in India to ride-hail drivers in Nigeria, workers are resisting algorithmic control—organizing protests, forming unions, and demanding AI transparency.

Today is election day in South Korea and it's a special one for our family because my wife was able to vote for the first time here in Korea after getting her Korean citizenship last year.

I've been using Samsung Pay exclusively for the past 3 years in Korea so I don't need to take any card or cash with me, just my phone. It's very convinient, but now I can't pay for my coffee today.

Just sitting here in the library and reading the newspaper after the TV debate. At the same time my wife and her sister are debating who to vote for in the family chat.

It's a good feeling that democracy is still alive and well in Korea even though the 2 party system is not how I would have set it up.

I can't vote anyway, so at least I can hope for the best outcome next week.
