Immer öfter kündigen deutsche Banken linken und zivilgesellschaftlichen Vereinen ihre Konten – mit existenzgefährdenden Konsequenzen. Umso wichtiger sind die Fragen: Was führt zu diesen Kündigungen? Und was können Vereine dagegen tun?

Wir veröffentlichen Unterlagen aus dem Fall des linken Rechtshilfevereins Rote Hilfe, die nahelegen: Die Kündigungen haben mit US-Präsident Donald Trump zu tun. Und mit Kontrollen der Bankenaufsicht BaFin. Doch wehren lohnt sich!

I see so many FOSS-advocates default to considering what our licenses should be demanding, whereas to my mind this focus on license terms is what got us into this mess!

The whole issue is that we don't have the practical power to actually enforce the terms of our licenses!

What I recommend: Consider what you're building & who's in the best position to benefit from it. Make sure you're happy with the answer.

1/2!

@hrbrmstr @laguiri Tbh I don't really care whether this one works or not. First of all, the ClickFix part is gross. Second, one of these will work, and the technique writ large across the is going to become yet another an endemic issue with these tools.

And if anyone is going to figure out how to make them work, it's marketing.

So. News.

@tante like LLM’s these men likely are in it for the aesthetics, while failing to grasp the content

On 9/11, I carried this book as I fled the collapsing WTC. Every page was coated with the deathly dust. I bought another and tried to read it but it struck me as so self-indulgent, at this moment of all moments. It spoiled fiction for me for a long time. This tribute to it strikes me as equally self-indulgent.

@harshil Very cool!

Was noch fehlt:

CDU-Mitglieder, die erklären können, warum es einen Unvereinbarkeitsbeschluss zur Linken gibt, aber nicht zum BSW.

@arstechnica this wouldn’t be an issue if we closed white collar loopholes to launder money instead of just throwing up our hands and giving in when they write them into law. These “swaps” were bullshit from the inception, either you buy something to gain its benefits or you don’t buy it and you didn’t.

Regular PSA that if you have any audience, especially in tech, use your reach to speak out against the mainstreaming of fascism and racism.

Nice considerations from the LibreOffice folks on parameters which would have to be satisfied before it had LLMs built in.

I feel relieved! That's _one_ bit of software I don't have to worry about!

@hrbrmstr @laguiri Yeah I don't see any successes in my tests against commercial models.
