What is Hackers' Pub?

おやすみ

@linaHoshino Lina (星乃リナ) 🩵 3D Yuri Wedding 2026!!! i think definitely my favourite jank in Matrix is when you get giant rooms split.. The unofficial rust chat room had to be restart three times over the two years i've been in it because at some points matrix dot org went offline/became laggy, then came back online, and the state resolution between events that m.org didn't have and those from m.org shat itself, and the room state split in half 🙃 very serious social media platform with a lot of funding btw

(i also have several of these empty rooms! and one spam room i was invited in that i cannot refuse the invite for, despite the room no longer existing, and me not being in it. Fun!)

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE TO SAY THIS:

the purpose of a voter identification card is not only to suppress the vote, but to TRACK the vote.

voter id laws in the United States have ALWAYS come down to fascists wanting to know who is voting AND FOR WHOM, so they can suppress those votes.

the SAVE Act is not only a voter suppression law, but it’s #MAGA #fascists wanting to codify that Americans do not have a right to a secret vote ―which is a HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION

The war waged by the tech authoritarian oligarchy against the media has reached a new level:

#Palantir is suing us. Us, the Republik Magazin.

A small Swiss media company, funded by readers, founded in 2018 and free of advertising. I am not aware of any other media company globally that Palantir is currently targeting so aggressively.

What is this about? Together with my wonderful colleagues at the WAV research collective Jenny Steiner, Lorenz Naegeli, Marguerite Meyer, and Balz Oertli, we published a two-part series on Palantir's activities in Switzerland on December 8 and 9.

Using an extensive corpus of documents – which we obtained thanks to the Freedom of Information Act – we were able to trace a sales campaign over a period of seven years. Palantir tried to get in with many federal authorities – and was rejected everywhere.

And we also found out that the Swiss Army Staff evaluated the products and came to the conclusion that the army should refrain from using Palantir products.

Among other risks, they feared that data would be passed on to the US authorities.

Palantir is not just any company. ICE uses its products to hunt down migrants in the US. The Israeli army IDF uses the software in its Gaza offensive. The British health authority NHS has made itself dependent on the products for data analysis during the pandemic. And CEO #AlexKarp displays inhuman and aggressive rhetoric towards Europe, while the company itself advertises the “optimization of the kill chain.”

These are all facts, repeatedly verified and published by renowned media outlets. Our research relating to Switzerland and Zurich is based on this.

In addition to analyzing documents, we also spoke to various sources – including Palantir executives here in Zurich. The quotes used were presented to them and approved. Of course, we always adhered to the high standards of journalistic work. We conducted a thorough fact check before publication.

But the company doesn't want us to write the truth.

After the US company owned by right-wing tech billionaire #PeterThiel dedicated an absurd blog post to us, claiming some misinformation (such as that they had not participated in official tenders with the federal administration, a point we never claimed. On the contrary: we spoke from the outset of attempts to establish contact, sales talks, informal meetings, business as usual), after the Global Director of Privacy & Civil Liberties (PCL) Engineering and contact person for Swiss media Courtney Bowman launched personal attacks against us in LinkedIn comments between Christmas and New Year (“partisan fear-mongering”), Palantir's Swiss lawyers demanded a counterstatement on December 29.

We rejected this demand in its entirety.

In January, they demanded the same thing again. We rejected it again.

And now we see each other in court.

But why all this?

Our research on the Swiss army report caused a huge international media response. The Guardian and the Austrian newspaper Der Standard reported on the Swiss army's rejection. Numerous financial portals and stock market magazines picked up our news (which could have consequences for the overvalued stock market company Palantir).

And Chaos Computer Club spokesperson Constanze Kurz presented our research to a huge audience at the renowned IT conference Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg at the end of December.

All of this is making Palantir nervous.

We have now submitted a comprehensive defense brief. We can substantiate all of our findings with several documents and publicly available media reports.

We trust in the rule of law and freedom of the press in this country.

In keeping with yesterday's event “Zurich, little Big Tech City” at the Gessneralle, where we first announced this news exclusively to the audience on site:

World politics will soon be negotiated in Zurich: freedom of the press, the facts about ICE, Trump, Israel, Karp, tech authoritarianism.

The truth.

All this at the Zurich Commercial Court.

We will not be intimidated. And we will keep you informed.

@paulPaul Haddad / @toddTodd Thomas - what’s your take on the new X API fees and does this open a door for a Tweetbot return?

Out now: @somo presents the Big Tech Lobby Playbook 🔍🚨
It exposes how Big Tech’s corporate lobbying is in a league of its own.
These giants don’t just engage with lawmakers and policy processes - they shape the
environment in which laws are imagined and debated.

前に進むために厳しい話にも向き合いたい。

国会が始まったら政府が「外国人政策」を出してくる。一つ二つの政策ではなく、パッケージで、どーんと。これから国を挙げての排斥が始まる。入管法改悪もその一つ。

入管法は主に法務委員会で審議される。他の委員会で話し合うこともあるけれど、採決は法務委。
衆院選前は、与党排外政党と反排外政党が張り合うことは可能だったと思う。法務委員は全部で35人。うち自民14、立憲11、他の政党と無所属が各2から1、社民とれいわは0。賛成派のほうが多いけれど委員長が立憲だったのは大きかった。

次の国会の構成は議院運営委員会でこれから話し合われる（今日最初の会合があったらしい）。委員長の座が奪われることは確実。委員の数はわからないが、衆院選の獲得議席から予想すると、自民が21以上、中道2か3、国民・維新・参政が各2、みらい1、無所属1、共産0か1。れいわ0。　...ぐらいか。

だとすると入管法に反対するのは多くて5人（無所属の議員も含めて）。少なければ2人。
あくまで予想だが、厳しいことは間違いない。
