The EU calls these forces a "Coast Guard", a label that helps build legitimacy for its own anti-migration policy. We use the term "so-called Libyan Coast Guard" to highlight how the EU bypasses human rights.
fuck no you're kidding me none at all really are you serious what the fuck
US sanctions on the International Criminal Court aim to destroy it, grant impunity to perpetrators, & deny justice to victims of genocide, crimes against humanity, & war crimes The EU and its states must actively protect the Court by activating the EU Blocking Statute.
Google's on-screen assistant used to have useful stuff integrated, like image search, text selecting and a QR reader, but now the only option is to ask Gemini. Yeah so let me just send this screenshot to a server so it can generate a random word soup that doesn't do what I wanted to do. Fuck you!!!!

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
Edd Coates | Game UI Database@eddcoates.bsky.social · 2w agoYet again, the Game UI Database is being scraped to the point that it's getting knocked offline. Even Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode isn't working. I just wanted to create a resource for real designers. I'm getting so fucking sick of this.
the IP rush was driven by faith that a culture is just a pile of Stuff, and if you own that stuff, you own culture. the AI rush is driven by faith that if you can automate the creation of stuff, you can automate culture.

A UN fact-finding mission has claimed that a Feb. 28 missile strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran, that killed more than 150 people likely constitutes a war crime. Bellingcat was the first to identify the weapon that hit the school as a US Tomahawk missile.
