Welcome to the #USE
So ähnlich klang es schon aus dem Mund eines US-Konsuls, der uns Bingen Menschen weis machen wollte, dass in den #USA Rentner ja 'freiwillig' etwas für ihre Gemeinden tun.
Hier und da mag das stimmen. Im Großteil würde ich sagen, sind die Rentner dort zur Arbeit gezwungen, um ihre #Wassersuppe am Abend bezahlen können.

At home and abroad US policy chaos has one constant: Trumps self interest
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/24/trump-policy-putin-summit/?ref=ActivityPub
When Putin blamed the 2020 US election result on mail-in voting he bolstered a Trump obsession just one example of the blurring of international goals and domestic grievances

US seeks to deport migrant Abrego Garcia to Uganda
US immigration authorities plan to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda, a move his lawyers denounce as “vindictive” on the part of President Donald Trump’s administration. According to a court filing released Saturday, the decision followed Abrego Garcia’s refusal to accept a deal that would have seen him deported to Costa Rica in return for staying in [...]

Das ist ja dann fast nur konsequent: Gestern bin ich in die Erlebbar gegangen, um mir ein Konzert von Frair anzuschauen. Leider erfuhr ich erst vor Ort, dass das Konzert wegen Krankheit abgesagt wurde. Da dies aber nur auf Instagram und Facebook bekanntgegeben wurde, habe ich das nicht mitbekommen und bin umsonst hingegangen. Die Hürden des Lebens ohne Meta, bzw. die Abhängigkeit des öffentlichen Lebens von Meta. Eieiei.

It created a `<package>.pth` file that looked fine, but couldn't seem to load it until I renamed it to `__editable__.<package>.pth`
Need to investigate further before I'm satisfied on what's actually going on, but at least I'm unstuck for now.

clanker youtubici rompono la quiete in modo sempre più metallico
È semplicemente da non credere che sono ormai anni e anni (e ho perso il conto di quanti) che su YouTube c’è il problema degli spammer e, anziché migliorare peggiora sempre di più! #YouTube è un’impresa che si regge interamente su un datamining inquantificabilmente grosso — per i video consigliati, per controllare che i video caricati non violino i ToS, per servire le pubblicità figuriamoci… — ma quegli scemi che ci lavorano non saranno capaci di contrastare commenti di spam che si vede lontano un miglio sono spam! (E poi, intanto, i commenti legittimi vengono rimossi per errore; Louis Rossman si lamenta continuamente di ciò, e vorrei ben vedere altrimenti.) 😵💫
La cosa peggiore è che ormai, negli ultimi mesi, questi clanker sono diventati persino aggressivi! Mazonna ragassi, prima l’approccio di questi affari era solo o completamente distaccato dal video, facendo off-topic totale per veicolare il proprio messaggio, o falsamente positivo, quando profili con la foto di un culo di fuori (e qualche volta anche altro, in una maniera che sarebbe violazione delle norme della community se fotogrammi del genere fossero all’interno di video, ma le regole sono scritte a cazzo e quindi per le foto profilo non vale) scrivono (in un italiano rotto e palesemente tradotto a macchina da un’altra lingua) semplicemente complimentando il video in modo irrealistico… Adesso, invece, puntano sull’offendere il creatore del video preso di mira o i suoi fan, insinuando che i propri video sarebbero meglio, cosa che dimostra (negli umani marci che li hanno programmati e/o ordinati) una estrema mancanza di rispetto e un ego largo quanto una fottuta mongolfiera… 💔
Ma dove cazzo andremo a finire??? Questo l’ho beccato addirittura sotto un video di Kurzgesagt ieri (ora sembra essere sparito), e ha il coraggio di dire “I video che posto sono molto meglio di quelli di Kurzgesagt, Kurzgesagt non può essere comparato a me [e lo dice immediatamente dopo aver fatto esso stesso un paragone; porca puttana, impara a usare la lingua umana oppure taci!], io sono molto meglio“… E potrei capire critiche politiche a Kurzgesagt, ce ne sarebbero molte da fare riguardo il conflitto di interessi, ma sminuirne la qualità è completamente disonesto intellettualmente e non trova alcun riscontro nella realtà! 🥴Di questo esempio qui (ma ce ne sarebbero tanti altri), già la foto profilo palesemente generata con IA dice tutto, ma aprendo il canale la situazione peggiora. Si vede innanzitutto un video interamente generato dall’intelligenza artificiale (lo si nota dalla copertina, e dal guardare i primi 2 secondi; non di più, altrimenti verrebbe contata la visualizzazione), che da contesto + titolo si deduce chiaramente essere privo di senso (quale valore intrinseco può mai avere un video “primo video sul canale!!!” creato da un’IA generativa, cioè un video dal senso unicamente personale creato da qualcosa che non è una persona?)… ma c’è di mezzo pure un trucchetto tecnico che ha colto persino me alla sprovvista. Il canale che ha caricato il video, che in qualche modo ha pure superato i 20mila iscritti (poveri noi…), non è lo stesso che ha spammato con il commento, che è invece palesemente usa e getta… il video è fissato sul profilo, altrimenti vuoto, usando una playlist dal nome cortissimo, che non si nota. 🤯
Ormai siamo a livelli esagerati: sfruttando il fatto che i coglioni che gestiscono questa piattaforma hanno ormai da anni eliminato tutta la moderazione umana, ritenendo erroneamente che si possa delegare tutto all’intelligenza artificiale, questi spammer mettono in atto trucchetti così beceri come separare il canale effettivo da uno usato per spammare; così, se quest’ultimo viene fatto fuori (non si sa come, visto che il tasto segnala per i commenti è a tutti gli effetti finto; se l’intelligenza artificiale deve bloccare un commento lo fa solo al momento in cui questo viene inviato), i malintenzionati non hanno perso in realtà niente. Ah, per giunta, ho come il presentimento che il canale su cui stanno i video di merda (che sono una manciata, e partono da quasi un an anno fa) sia in realtà rubato, perché esiste almeno da 3 anni prima… e pubblicava video di cucina… in arabo. 😶
E ancora, sui video merdosi i commenti sono disattivati, perché il rischio che arrivi gente a scrivere la verità è tosto… mentre sui video vecchi, originali, la gente ovviamente ride (ma ci sarebbe da piangere). E questo senza neanche parlare dello schifo che fa per aver caricato un video “I am sick with cancer, pray for me 😭😭“, essendo, appunto, un ammasso di sola ferraglia e non materiale biologico…Non molti anni fa si diceva “Susan porco**io“ (in inglese “Susan I swear to god“) per inveire contro colei che all’epoca era la CEO di YouTube. Poi lei è morta, e al suo posto arrivò un tizio dal nome evidentemente meno memorabile (non in quest’ordine), e adesso questa cosa non si dice più, ma il problema dello spam continua ad esistere come lo ha sempre fatto e, per l’appunto, forse anche peggio di prima. A onor del vero, quelli che cercavano di truffare includendo numeri di telefono scritti in caratteri unicode nel nome non ne vedo più da un po’… ma, ammesso siano stati davvero bloccati, e non che siano spariti semplicemente perché la tecnica di spam è diventata vecchia, è solo un’ammaccatura al problema e non una soluzione. Quanto stracazzo ODIO Alphabet Inc.!!! 😫

Die „Erfindungen über die #Hungersnot im #Gazastreifen werden bald zusammenbrechen”
Das Büro von Ministerpräsident Benjamin #Netanjahu hat einen von den Vereinten Nationen unterstützten Bericht scharf zurückgewiesen, in dem behauptet wird, die Bevölkerung im Gazastreifen sei „katastrophalen Zuständen ausgesetzt“.
>> Krusi:
Welche Berichte stimmen denn nun? Die der Hamas und der UN, die uns ständig erzählen, dass die Bevölkerung in #Gaza verhungert, und das schon seit Beginn des Krieges, oder die von Israel und der GHF, die aufzeigen, was alles an Hilfsgütern geliefert wurde und wird? Ich persönlich glaube da eher der israelischen Seite, weil #Terroristen nun mal nicht gerade die Personen meines Vertrauens sind. Es ist eher erschreckend, für wie viele Länder da andere Maßstäbe gelten. Und die nehmen für sich auch noch in Anspruch, zivilisiert zu sein. Was für ein Wahnsinn. <<

@katja Hallo ihr 👋🏽
An #Mastodon mag ich, dass es keinen Algorithmus gibt. Es wird viel weniger nicht relevantes in meine Timeline gespült, viel weniger Aufreger, Idioten. Viel weniger Moderation ist nötig. Alle sind im Wesentlichen nett zueinander. Keine Werbung, kein Tracking. Gute Filtermöglichkeiten um sich seine Timeline selbst zu gestalten. Kostet nichts und deine Daten werden dennoch nicht verkauft. Die Möglichkeiten der Verknüpfung mit anderen Diensten im #Fediverse ist extrem gut 😊

Myanmar Is Shaping Up To Be The Next Front Of The Sino-US New Cold War
Myanmar Is Shaping Up To Be The Next Front Of The Sino-US New Cold War
China wants to retain access to Kachin State’s rare earths, the US wants to poach them, and their escalating competition over this part of Myanmar could make it the next New Cold War flashpoint.
Reuters reported that the US’ Myanmar policy might shift towards more diplomatic engagement with either the ruling junta or the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) in an attempt to obtain access to the enormous rare earth mineral reserves in the second’s eponymous state. At present, the US is suspected of clandestinely supporting some of the armed anti-junta groups, but the KIA isn’t thought to have benefited due to their isolated position along Myanmar’s mountainous border with China and India.
This geography poses a challenge to the redirection of these resources from China to India for example regardless of Kachin State’s final political status, whether autonomous within a (con)federated Myanmar or independent, but that’s assuming that China doesn’t intervene. Reuters cited an expert on Kachin State who said that “If they want to transport the rare earths from these mines, which are all on the Chinese border, to India, there’s only one road. And the Chinese would certainly step in and stop it.”
The reports late last year about the joint security firm that China and Myanmar were planning at the time were analysed here and concluded that the risks associated with even a PMC-led intervention in support of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor (CMEC) make this scenario unlikely. For as important as CMEC is for helping China reduce its logistical dependence on the easily blockaded Strait of Malacca, Kachin’s rare earth minerals are even more important, so its calculations could change.
Nevertheless, China is known for advancing its national interests through hybrid economic-diplomatic means, not military force. It’s therefore much more probable that it might soon ramp up these efforts with either the junta, the KIA, or both to preempt any forthcoming US diplomatic campaign. The first scenario would aim to restore the military’s control over Kachin’s rare earth reserves, the second would work towards Kachin’s de facto independence, while the third would seek that state’s autonomy.
In the order that they were mentioned: the military is on the backfoot in Kachin despite over four years of Chinese support so it’s unlikely that any new approach by China will reverse this trend; China’s decades of engagement with eastern Shan State’s de facto independent United Wa State Army (including over rare earths) could serve as a precedent for something similar with the KIA; while seeking Kachin’s autonomy in a Chinese-mediated political settlement would be the best-case scenario for Beijing.
In any case, it’s unimaginable that China will let the US poach Kachin’s rare earth reserves without making any attempt to preempt this powerplay, so the Sino-US rivalry in Myanmar is expected to intensify. Kachin is at the centre of this struggle, which his nowadays driven by access to that region’s rare earths even though it used to be about CMEC, with Myanmar’s political future (centralized, decentralized, devolved, or partitioned) only being a means to the aforementioned end.
China has the edge over the US due to geography (including the nearness of its rare earth processing facilities), its existing ties with both the junta and the KIA, and the allure that any new approach (possibly linked to CMEC) could have for facilitating a pragmatic deal between them. That said, the US might at the very least try to provoke an armed Chinese intervention of some sort to embroil it in a quagmire even if the odds of this scenario are low, all as part of their escalating New Cold War rivalry over Myanmar.
