  1. ‘HOW ORWELL’S 1984 CAN BE SEEN AS AN ARGUMENT FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE
    Atheism is not only fundamental to the power of the Party in 1984 but is also its central weakness’
    mindmatters.ai/2021/04/how-orw

    Both the party of capital and the party of God expropriate interests rights; are the flip sides of the same coin so neither can win. Earth is destroyed by those who believe in hell, heaven or capital. Neither party is necessary, or any party is necessary for Republic Sovereignty. That is constituted by the democratic rights of diverse interests. Else is it not true that war is peace, love is hate and freedom is slavery so they vanquish each other? #TheFoundationOfTheFederation #DialecticPrinciple #Philosophy #1984GeorgeOrwell #DialecticAnalysis

  2. Some new reading material has arrived. Probably the next two on the physical reading list. Hadrian's Wall by Adrian Goldsworthy seems like a good starting point to get some reading in on the subject before my #hadrianswall trip later in the summer, and I've enjoyed his other histories that I've read.

    And it unfortunately seems like a rather fitting time to read George Orwell's #1984GeorgeOrwell

  3. I #social hanno avvelenato il pozzo della lingua – Progetto EXIT

    "Se vogliamo tenere a freno la creatività delle masse, è sufficiente impoverire il linguaggio, fino a farlo diventare sterile. "

    Esattamente come la #neolingua di #1984georgeorwell

    Und zu Palantir passend jetzt eine ganz neue ARD Doku:

    Kritik aus datenschutzrechtlicher Sicht an Palantir

    datenschutzticker.de/2022/06/u

    Aber genau wegen dieser kritisierten Fähigkeiten sind Polizei und Innenminister so scharf auf die Software. Rechtliche Hürden und die Verfassung interessieren da wenig.

    Die Erfahrung zeigt: was mal angeschafft wurde, bleibt. Hier ist ein weiterer Schritt in Richtung Orwells '1984'-Welt gegangen worden...

  5. Due to a certain somewhat recent brilliant UK and EU legislation, you may begin to see mandated age verification.
    For those wanting to circumvent this stupid piece of legislation:
    - If the service allows you to choose your own country (e.g. Twitter), a simple country change is enough without any need to tunnel your traffic elsewhere.
    - If the service relies on linked phone number, unlink your EU phone number. If you use your phone for 2FA... Please switch to the more secure measures, like TOTP.
    - If the service relies on GeoIP information (e.g. Discord), tunnel your traffic to a non-EU country.
    Any of these actions will invalidate legal protections EU grants however, so unless you already have an isolated identity, or you live in a repressive regime with little rights to begin with, these would act more like the last resort.

    Also, congrats to UK, Ireland and the rest of the EU for attempting to strip (pseudo-)anonymity for those who cannot risk to even let themselves known a little, let alone handing over their strongly-identifiable information just to prove "ooooh I'm an adult"! Or was it your plan in the first place, selling people from repressive regimes or under the pressure of such regimes out, and satisfying your achievement of police states? Either way,

  6. draft - in iOS 18, does locking an app freeze it as well? like, apps that do tracking and stuff like that, that we have to have running most of the time, but sometimes we as humans deserve a break from big brother, 1984, orwell etc...

  7. draft - yaknow what i'd like in iOS and android? so, the locking apps is cool. but...to take things a step further, how about an option to freeze apps? apps that do a lot of tracking, we live in this world now, and sometimes, we, as human beings deserve a break from time to time. the issue is, the apps themselves aren't going to offer the break. so it's kinda up to the operating system to offer that ability. and maybe one could even setup a schedule for the freezing...so for example, apps that you have to kinda have running most of the time, but sometimes you want a break, you could long press the icon and choose "freeze for 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours...etc" or something like that.

  10. Thierry Discepolo, directeur éditorial des #EditionsAgone était face aux 250 élèves du #Déodat de #Séverac, pour parler des actualités politiques, sociales, philosophiques et littéraires de #1984...
    Une discussion passionnante avec des lycéens dont le regard et la lecture participent du renouvellement des œuvres en général, et de celle-ci en particulier !
