Daily bunny no.3137 is highly invasive

A bunny stands in a small courtyard, with a cobblestone floor. Lots of small dandelion bunnies have grown through the cobblestones: They are plants with fluffy bunny faces.

NieR Automata genuinely might be one of the most important game releases of all time explicitly because of how it directly inspired DXVK, yes.

My family has arranged a gofundme for my brother Kyle. If you can't donate anything, sharing it will mean the world to me. We do not have the funds on hand for his burial and funeral. He did not have any life insurance for us to help in paying.

Fight Chat Control

@fightchatcontrol.bsky.social

What happened today?

Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content.

The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox.

What happens next?

The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in.

What now?

We raise our voices. Louder.

ESO

@eso.org

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.

Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

⚠️ this has happened to an alarming amount of people I know. remember that when you open a random .blend file there's the risk that it'll execute unwanted code.

more details on how to prevent it/mitigate the damage in the quoted thread, as well as in this post: www.reddit.com/r/blender/co...
