Colombia and Mexico should start criminal investigations, similar to how they deal with airplane crashes. Figure out what happend and not go after the guy ‘steering the plane’ but the guy who ‘manufactured’ the system that allowed it to happen. ICE killing foreign nationals is not a story of how a few agents went rogue, it’s a story of how unschooled people are asked to invade neighbourhoods and kidnap human beings by doing whatever it takes.

Can’t have that normal timeline returning

Ban private jets

They must have forgotten what social class gets to decide what politicians do.

You can do both. Also a lot of people who try to commit suicide don’t try immediately after they fail, so picking them up alive gives you time to help them. If it was like “well whatever, we’ll pick them up on the bridge so we don’t have to worry about tackling the causes of suicide” i’d agree with you 100%, but that is not what this news is about. It’s about improving a method to prevent the suicide from happening, like nets around high buildings. It’s sad the root causes aren’t fixed with this, but it’s still a good thing happening imo.

How dare they tell everybody about the Israeli war crimes. Only explanation I can think of is that New York Times hates all jews.

Somebody told it about FIFO

Thanks for sharing, great article. Copied and pasted some bits below:

(…) Metrics are gathered day and night over all 200.000 internet domains, accross the massive total of 67.000 local governments. Nearly 200.000 seems like a high number, but in fact it is very low.

In reality, the true number of government domains is tenfold but finding those requires a lot of effort. We mostly are missing ‘project’ domains, targeted at tourism, housing, infrastructure, festivals, and anything else the government produces. Some governments, like the Netherlands, have multiple official registries for governmental websites. Yet our Dutch initiative has found thousands of additional domains missing from those registries.

Later in the article they share the 3 most worrying metrics:

3.081 European government sites place tracking cookies without consent. (…)

YouTube is the biggest source of tracking cookies, with 2077 cookies placed in total. Google Ads(!) follows with 842 tracking cookies. This might be a side effect of misconfiguration of Google Analytics, which should also not be used; however, that is measured in another metric not mentioned in this article. Then we see 293 Facebook cookies, probably for website analytics as well. Last but not least, we see 20 TikTok cookies.

We found a total of 1.070 phpMyAdmin portals on 3.529 different domains. Many domains share the same panel; they share the same service provider for example. phpMyAdmin is an open-source tool, yet we found no financial contributions from European governments to this software project. This means they are depending on software, yet are not willing or mandated to pay for it; we see this as an unwillingness to invest in their own online security. We urge governments to pay for open source for their own sake.

Two of these panels are present at addresses of Computer Security Incident Response Teams, which is a double offense. It might require some trickery to see these addresses in the browser.

Last but not least, the most shocking discovery of our research: the encryption quality of e-mail to European governments is poor. And not just any form of poor: as 99% does not follow up-to-date security practices. Only the Netherlands and Denmark show somewhat promising numbers.

Tl;dr from the vsquare url:

For the first time, more than 2,000 leaked internal documents expose how Bauman Moscow State Technical University feeds graduates directly into the units behind Russia’s cyberattacks, election interference, and the sabotage operations targeting NATO countries.

Israel commits war crimes.

Also, in other countries they can just retire

What part of 70000 innocent civilians killed with illegal drone attacks was it you didn’t get?

What part of “I’m not saying the best human being, i’m saying best American president. It’s a matter of one in relation to the rest.” was it you didn’t get?

Is it just me or is 2026 rhyming with 1939?

I don’t think he (E: since previous comment was deleted, he is referring Obama) was overvalued, from a European perspective he was the best, or at least one of the best American presidents ever, defintely the beginning of the US’ post-ww2 world dominance. I’m not saying the best human being, i’m saying best American president. It’s a matter of one in relation to the rest.

They want to do a, but instead do b. Like a true politician.

I was so surprised when i opened lemmy this morning and didn’t see a single post about him turning 100 today, thank you for taking the effort!

Sure, Europe is far from defenseless. But a large-scale two-front conflict, especially if coordinated and sudden, would likely overwhelm Europe’s current military and political capacities. What’s your opinion on that?

You aren’t asking for my opinion, but my two cents on this: if it’s Europe alone vs Russia alone, Russia can do damage but not really win anything meaningful. But if it is Europe alone vs Russian with China (and NK), Russia could probably do whatever the fuck it wanted because China has the abilities to wipe out all our air defense systems and likely to kill all our communication channels.

I have the impression that the US and Russia are slowly but steadily moving toward strategic alignment. Perhaps this is because the US increasingly sees Russia as a potential geopolitical partner against the PRC.

Regarding this, i think they US is moving closer to Russia, but I’m not sure if it’s because of strategy. It might be simply because Trump aspires to reign like Putin. Either way, the US considers China the biggest threat to their hegemony and while Russia and China are aligned they are both much stronger (Russia has the materials, China has the means to do something with that) so splitting them up would be a win, strategically. But it’s unlikely as long as the UN Security Council continues to give 5 countries veto power, i can’t imagine the 3 vs 2 (US, UK & France vs China & Russia) ever becoming 4 vs 1.
