Cellphone video showed the moment Saturday morning Rafael Veraza says he and his family were pepper sprayed by Border Patrol agents in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club in Cicero, just over the city border from Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood.

My ADHD keeps spawning batshit crazy projects of all sorts that entertain people around the world, and since the full scale invasion of Ukraine began, I have decided to give all my possible income that those projects generate to those who need it more than I do. I keep track of all incomes and guarantee 100% transparency. It isn’t much, but for some fluffballs it means survival.

I’m fighting off pneumonia, so I couldn’t spend a lot of time chasing her around. I’m going to see if one of the barn hands would be able to help me if they’re gonna be there tonight.

As gradually leaked the last days by various news outlets, the EU Commission has secretly set in motion a potentially massive reform of the GDPR. If internal drafts become reality, this would have significant impact on people’s fundamental right to privacy and data protection. The reform would be part of the so-called “Digital Omnibus” which was supposed to only bring targeted adjustments to simplify compliance for businesses. Now, the Commission proposes changes to core elements like the definition of “personal data” and all data subject’s rights under the GDPR. The leaked draft also suggests to give AI companies (like Google, Meta or OpenAI) a blank check to suck up European’s personal data. In addition, the special protection of sensitive data like health data, political views or sexual orientation would be significantly reduced. Also, remote access to personal data on PCs or smart phones without consent of the user would be enabled. Many elements of the envisaged reform would overturn CJEU case law, violate European Conventions and the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. If this extreme draft will become the official position of the European Commission, will only become clear on 19 November, when the “Digital Omnibus” will be officially presented. Schrems: “This would be a massive downgrading of European’s privacy ten years after the GDPR was adopted.”

Die Stadt München will ihre Attraktion nach eigener Aussage schnell wiederhaben und hat dafür auch Wissenschaftler aus München und Hamburg ins Boot geholt. So schwierig wie in diesem Jahr sei die Reaktivierung der Welle noch nie gewesen, heißt es. Was den Experten nicht gelang, hat offenbar eine Gruppe Surfer in einer Nacht und Nebelaktion geschafft: Sie sollen die Welle mit einer Holzkonstruktion wiederbelebt haben. Diese ist zu Beginn des erwähnten Videos samt Werkzeug zu sehen. Anschließend wird der Eisbach mit einer neuen Welle gezeigt, auf der eine Person im dunklen Neo-Overall surft. … Laut Beitrag soll sich die Szene gegen 1.30 Uhr nachts abgespielt haben. Das Video ist mit einem Effekt bearbeitet und mit Musik unterlegt. Wer genau auf der Eisbachwelle surft, ist nicht erkennbar. Das Material sei dem Surfclub nur zugespielt worden, soll ein Mitglied der Gruppe der Abendzeitung berichtet haben. Erlaubt ist die Aktion nämlich keinesfalls. Zwischen 22 Uhr und 5.30 Uhr ist das Surfen dort verboten. „Wir wollten es veröffentlichen, um auf die Situation aufmerksam zu machen. Es ist doch abstrus, einen Forscher aus Hamburg zu engagieren. Warum bezieht niemand die lokale Surf-Community mit ein, die teils seit 30 Jahren am Eisbach surft und dort Tausende Stunden verbracht hat?“, wird ein Sprecher des Clubs zitiert. Inzwischen sind die Holzkonstruktion und auch die Welle wieder verschwunden.

Drinking caffeinated coffee is safe for people with atrial fibrillation and may help protect against recurrence of the disorder, a new study finds.

*Several federal departments and agencies posted partisan messages on their websites and in out-of-office emails during the shutdown. Democrats believe the posts violate federal law.*

AI pattern matching is a black box. You can’t know how a decision is made until it’s too late to unmake it. A private surveillance firm plugging AI into policing doesn’t democratize safety or create objectivity, it accelerates suspicion based on existing grievances.

This is truly shocking. In France, the maximum donation is 7500 euros. You can’t give more than that.

Hi everyone, we’re mainly looking for feedback and testers for our project, which is currently in beta. We’ve been working on Safebox, an open-source framework that helps you install, manage, and access self-hosted applications such as Home Assistant, Nextcloud, and Jellyfin etc. Safebox runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (supporting both x86 and ARM64 architectures, even Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi hardware also tested). It manages domain and subdomain setup, Let’s Encrypt certificates, DNS configuration, and reverse proxy (nginx). It also includes a Wireguard-based remote access feature and a geo-redundant backup system (currently in development). The project is in beta, and we’re looking for people interested in testing and giving feedback on its usability, stability, features, and really anything else. All information about Safebox and beta testing can be found in our discord channel.

Today’s game is some Assassin’s Creed III. This was what i had lined up to play after Max Payne 2, and initially i was going to play some more of that. But i had decided to set this up ahead of time. Then… i decided to make sure it works… and i kind of lost track of time. These games are kind of my Guilty pleasure. I pick a time period that sounds interesting to me, and then get lost in it. I wish we’d see more modern ones. I personally love to see things closer to modern times rather than ancient times.
