Okay, a PSA, especially to everyone in the business of defending #Europe and #democracy - and to journalists: I thought I knew that the tiniest slip-up may let the bad guys geolocate a picture or a video, but a presentation I saw blew my mind nevertheless. Be VERY careful if #OPSEC is a concern.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@kevinrothrock/116676156213270776 If UEFA and IOC were also approaching russian participation with this mindset, I'd be less inclined to say both of those organization are horseshit and deserve forever boycott.

Since the idea of hereditary rule seems to be appealing to elites around the world lately, this is how it's done: The king of Denmark just participated in the annual #royalrun among thousands of ordinary citizens.

#Fairphone|s are not supposed to be waterproof (because #repairability requires to not seal the device with glue I guess?).

Today's hopeful thing: - only one of the second-year students uses "AI" to do their exercises in class regularly. Last semester, a majority of the class did this instead of trying their own hand at solving the problems. #hopefulthings

Ukraine proves every day how different it is from russia and US. The corruption probe so far: Zelensky’s aide Yermak charged; closest associate Mindich fled the country; vice-premier & friend Chernyshov jailed; key ministers investigated; econ advisor fighting extradition.
