"On Friday, IT security expert and hacker Janik Besendorf, with the support of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), filed a lawsuit against the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) at the Administrative Court in Wiesbaden. He accuses the authority of unlawfully processing his biometric facial data and presumably also passing it on to third parties for trial runs of biometric facial recognition.

According to the CCC, the lawsuit specifically targets a cooperation between the BKA and the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD). The Wiesbaden police authority is alleged to have misused nearly 5 million facial data records from the Inpol-Zentral (Z) police database and transferred them to the IGD without legal basis. The images were used as test material for four new BKA facial recognition systems.

Besendorf, whose facial photo was entered into the INPOL-Z database in 2018 after being processed by the identification service on charges of trespassing, feels that he has been unwittingly turned into a test subject. According to Netzpolitik.org, Besendorf wants to wait until the proceedings are concluded before potentially requesting that his photos be deleted. This is to prevent evidence from being destroyed."

Ebola outbreak in DR Congo rages, with 61% death rate & funding running dry

“In the past, the US Agency for International Development, USAID, has provided critical support to respond to such outbreaks. But, with funding cuts and a dismantling of the agency.. health officials fear it will be difficult to compensate for the loss.”

Large organizations and corporations moving to open source is a great thing.

If they have budget, they should still contribute and "pay" for the open source software they use.

Edit: Adding in this key quote as a positive example:

"Austria isn't just replacing Microsoft software. Unlike typical public-sector and corporate migrations, Austria's military has heavily invested in LibreOffice development itself. The armed forces have been funding the creation of new features and improvements that are now included in public releases. These additions, ranging from improved slideshow editing to better handling of pivot tables, have been rolled into the latest version of LibreOffice."

Today I fixed a television out of spite.

One of the most common faults with modern TVs is a backlight failing. These are cheap to replace, and the tools to test them are cheap to obtain.

But the effort to get to the backlights? Oh my!

A TV that was made to be repaired would have a separate pane for backlights you could slide out, or some other access mechanism.

But today's consumer TVs require you to disassemble practically everything to get to the backlights. That means getting to them is a huge investment in time (for self-repair) or money (if you go to a repair shop and pay for labour). TV companies know that most people will just buy a whole new TV.

So today I fixed the TV out of spite. Not because it was rewarding, or for environmental or financial concerns (although all of these are valid). I fixed it because the company that made it did not want it to be easily fixed.
