The recordings of the matchmaking sessions for the

If you are interested in applying to IOS but could not make it to the session, the recordings are a great way to find people to build a consortium with.

どんどんでかいサイズの3Dプリンタを買いかえる人の気持ちがちょっとわかった（？）
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.

I'm also slightly worried about Pörri. He's been a bit skittish and subdued and wants to mostly hang out in his little pillow nook (apart from sleeping on me during the night and yelling at me extensively when he wants kibble and/or cuddles) and is only eating normal amounts of food instead of absolutely hoovering it up... I don't know if there's something wrong with him, or if he's just stressed out by the neighbours' renovation. Either could be true, or both. But he also has hella anxiety, so I don't want to traumatise him with a vet visit if he's actually just having anxiety again? He's the littlest sir, so little and so sensitive! 😭
Look at how disgruntled he looks! Just huddling there! Even when enjoying the new bedding with his twin! 😢

Valid but at the same time I’ve already been accused of this a couple times—those darn em-dashes.
Call out that it’s a tired, formulaic wall of text, not how you think it was made.
Not sure I can make a punchy jargon for it though.

因為世紀噁片的殺青記者會，任何人都始料未及地掀起了台灣人對「林宅血案」乃至其他國民黨迫害史的補課潮。這一段時間以來，我有太多個「為什麼」想問：為什麼他們敢拍這種片？為什麼有那麼多人不知道真相？為什麼偏偏是現在、這一次才忽然被重視？為什麼不是去年此時發生，偏偏是在大罷免失敗後？為什麼還有人可以說混帳話？為什麼那些真正身歷迫害的人沒有被這麼多年來這麼多王八蛋氣得吐血？
最後一個問題，在這支田秋堇談林宅血案的影片最後，我意外地得到解答：

「不可能世界上的每一個人都知道我們的事。即使是納粹，到現在仍有一些人會扮演他們，連英國有個王子都犯過這樣的錯啊。
「這就是這樣啊，就像我們做環保運動，成功了以後，那些曾經反對我們的人，他們也會一樣呼吸到清新的空氣、享受到乾淨的雨水。民主也是這樣。」
如果執著於「懲罰」「和我不同選擇的人」，那麼我們所期望的那個美好世界將不會真正降臨，因為我們是生活在同一個世界的啊。我也很希望那些投給藍白的人可以去活在藍白當政的平行宇宙，但是世界就不是那樣運行的呀。
