"In a matter of days governments across the EU will have the power to deploy AI-powered technologies that track citizens in public spaces, conduct real-time surveillance to monitor refugees in border zones and use facial recognition tools against people based on their suspected political affiliations or religious beliefs."

Now that I fixed my "emergency" bug, I'm back to what I was supposed to be working on. But it's been a month since I looked at it, so I want to re-read the design notes I put at the top, then re-run the program and recall what works and what doesn't.

And I can't make myself do it. My eyes just skip lightly over the text. I found myself with an urge to google some random tasks in #python so I could do something "fun" instead.

You can write THIS program in python if you just read 200 lines of text first!!!

Il fondatore di Silk Road è stato graziato da Trump 🤡

Ross Ulbricht, fondatore del sito Silk Road (mercato nero), è tornato in libertà grazie alla grazia concessa da Donald Trump.
Era finito dietro le sbarre nel 2013, beccandosi poi l'ergastolo due anni dopo per una serie di reati pesanti come traffico di droga e riciclaggio. Il suo "Amazon dell'illegalità", come molti lo chiamavano, permetteva di comprare sostanze stupefacenti nascondendosi dietro software per l'anonimato, finché non venne chiuso dalle autorità nel 2013.
Trump, che già durante un comizio col Partito Libertario aveva anticipato questa mossa, ha bollato come "ridicola" la condanna di Ulbricht, mantenendo così la sua promessa di maggio.

I just received wedonthavetime.org newsletter about the #WorldEconomicForum in #Davos. It featured this picture.

First thought: of well, good to see that some of today's threats will be disappeared in 10 years time.

Second thought: oh s**t, even worst ones are coming.

We should all act now.
Every action counts.

Microsoft secures deal to restore Amazon rainforest, to offset AI emissions.

My Mastodon bubble will surely love this one!

But does anyone know whether their partner Re.Green is legit in terms of ecological restoration? The latter, at least, we need.

Disegno di legge Sicurezza.

Sei relatori speciali delle Nazioni Unite affermano che una serie di norme limitano diritti e libertà essenziali, aprendo la strada a prevaricazioni da parte di chi esercita il potere. L’Italia sta violando gli impegni assunti con la sottoscrizione di Convenzioni internazionali.

Non ho mai desiderato così tanto di sparlare dei servizi Big Tech:

#Facebook: 😂 è stato il primo social di massa, e la massa belante rimane tale, bene che i giovani manco lo considerino.

#Instagram: 😂 😂 potrebbe anche non esistere per me, posto di piazzisti e venditori di pandori

#tiktok: 😂 😂 😂 balletti e challenge dementi

#twitch: 😂 😂 😂 😂 ce manca solo il social di Bezos

#WhatsApp: 😭 praticamente impossibile da eliminare finché l'interoperabilità richiesta dalla DMA non diventerà realtà.
