Die Grünen, die Landtagswahlen und Solingen journalistenwatch.com/2024/09/… Was ist die Antwort der grünen Partei auf die verheerende Wahlniederlage in Thüringen und Sachsen? Selbstreflexion? Kritik am eigenen Vorgehen? Eigenes Hinterfragen, wie man sich ganz offensichtlich so weit vom Wählerwillen entfernen konnte? Nein, nichts davon. natürlich nicht. Statt dessen schlägt man nun eine aus Steuermitteln finanzierte “Taskforce” zur Bekämpfung

The DOJ will recommend remedies for addressing Google’s monopoly dominance of search in December.

Options vary from banning Google from paying Apple, Mozilla and others for search defaults to forcing the company to sell the Android operating system.

Tiny Pair

This was a somewhat unusual moment, two female ruby-throated hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) perched on the same slender twig.

As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.c…

Go there and take a look. Prints are for sale along with other doodads and I suppose it is kind of a business for me. But it's the kind of business where I don't care whether I sale anything or not. If you want something, by all means you are welcome to make a purchase. But I just want you to visit and maybe mark your favorites or leave a comment. Cheers 😄

"The image features two hummingbirds perched on a thin branch. The bird on the left's back faces the camera and has it iridescent green feathers on its back and a lighter, underbelly, suggesting it could be a hummingbird. The bird on the right's front faces the camera and has a white underbelly with a darker wings and head, The background is blurred with green hues, highlighting the birds as the focal point of the image." - Copilot with edits

How come Harris is willing to break from Biden by pandering to the right on capital gains taxes but she is not willing to break with Biden's policies of supporting genocide in Gaza and allowing Covid to spread out of control?

With Firefox having AI added in the recent update. Here's how you can disable it.

  1. Open about:config in your browser.
  2. Accept the Warning it gives.
  3. Search browser.ml and blank all values and set false where necessary as shown in the screenshot, anything that requires a numerical string can be set as 0 .

Once you restart you should no longer see the Grey-ed out checkbox checked, and the AI chatbot disabled from ever functioning.

Firefox Labs: Disable AI chatbot with `about:config` Search `browser.ml` and wipe all values and enter Zero's where necessary, and set `false` for shortcuts and sidebar, ensure `browser.ml.enable` is set false. Once you have made changes, restart Firefox. The once Greyed-out Checkbox should no longer be checked and AI chatbot fully disabled.

Now we just need to figure out how to disable the CEO or whoever else is pushing for AI and other anti-privacy bullshit to be included and activated by default in the supposedly privacy-first browser.

"The Covid pandemic didn’t end; it was normalized as part of the capitalist drive to stabilize and perpetuate existing power structures. To "normalize" in this context means to embed the pandemic's disruptions into the routine operations of capitalist society, transforming what was once an acute crisis into a standardized, expected condition of daily life."

~ Beatrice Adler-Bolton, death panel podcast.

"For left movements, the normalization of a premature "end" to the pandemic represents a critical failure to address the class struggle inherent in the ongoing crisis. This normalization process serves the interests of capital by prioritizing economic recovery, increasing repression, and deepening the exploitation of labor over protecting the well-being of the working class and marginalized groups."

"If our movements do not challenge this premature and ongoing normalization of mass infection, sickness, disability and death, we will fail each other."

This essay i amazing. Please share it widely.

The left sadly has failed to recognize the scale and scope of what the normalisation of the ongoing pandemic means to disabled, chronically ill and disadvantaged communities and how relevant this is in the advancement of fascism.

THIS is our struggle. Or should be our struggle. Should be. Meh.
