Mitja

Treba bo ugrizniti v kisla jabolka zakonodaje in pomesti z vsemi nagrmadenimi "pravicami", ki smo jih v desetletjih brez pomisleka o posledicah vnesli v zakonodajo. Natura 2000 ovira širitev najbolj obremenjenega pasu avtoceste. Avtorske pravice arhitektov ovirajo prenove.

Delavska taborišča postajajo vedno bolj smiselna.

Trgovcem gre dobro, delavcem manj ... Znižanje DDV na Hrvaškem leta 2022 ni prineslo nižjih cen hrane, ampak je koristilo trgovcem. Slovenski interventni zakon ima enako težavo. Več v članku Monike Weiss 👉️ buff.ly/jeAasJM

Se da shekati demokratične sisteme in institucije, npr. Evropsko unijo? »Hekanje Homo sapiensa« je koncept, po katerem lahko umetna inteligenca in biotehnologija z analizo zadostne količine osebnih in bioloških podatkov razumeta, napovedujeta in usmerjata človekove odločitve bolje, kot ljudje razumejo sami sebe. Že spletni nakupi, odzivanje na novice na družbenih omrežjih in referendumske kampanje kažejo, koliko je možnosti za vplivanje na naše odločitve. Kaj pa demokratični sistemi in institucije, ki so jih zastavili predstavniki vrste Homo sapiens za ustvarjanje prostora za izmenjavo mnenj, doseganje dogovorov in odločanje o skupnih stvareh? Je lažje shekati posameznika ali institucije? Nobena ureditev kljub obrambnim in imunskim sistemom ni nedotakljiva. Tudi demokratične varovalke lahko postanejo manj učinkovite, če ne sledijo medijski in drugi tehnologiji, ki je bistveno napredovala od časov prvih tiskanih časopisov. "Mehanizem je brutalno eleganten. "Inštituti" prispevajo »strokovno znanje«. Nevladne organizacije ustvarjajo »zahteve civilne družbe«. Nevladne organizacije s pravnega področja vlagajo tožbe na sodiščih. Financirani mediji oblikujejo povzemajo in širiji "zgodbo". Odločevalci, pogosto v mehurčkih in odrezani od prebivalstva, z vseh strani slišijo isto sporočilo in tako verjamejo, da si ljudje želijo prav to. In najbolj noro pri vsem tem: institucije ta krog financirajo kar same s financiranjem nevladnih organizacij, da bi pri njih samih lobirale v podporo lastnim predlogom zakonodaji. Institucija, ali proračun če hočete, plačuje »civilni družbi«, da od nje zahteva tisto, kar je tako ali tako že hotela storiti." Zveni znano, kajne?

... kaj je socialist? ... to je nekdo, ki prezira in sovraži kapitaliste/kapital, nima pa težav živet na račun na žuljih navadnega delavca, ki sam komajda živi. To je nekdo, ki se bori proti boljšemu življenju, hkrati pa lepo in obilno živi na račun tistih, ki živijo slabo.

So basically, today PHP got two critical bugs that let anyone run code on your server without even logging in, which is bad, and then the details leaked before the patch was even out, which is worse, and it works on WordPress and MediaWiki and Magento and Joomla and Laravel, and Censys says like 1.5 million servers are running a version with no fix, so the NSA was like "take your system offline," and the FBI was like "take your system offline," and CISA and the UK and CERT-EU were all like "take your system offline," and then the Prime Minister of Japan, the actual Prime Minister, posted at 5:55 in the morning telling 48.8 million people to take their system offline, so everyone took their system offline, like the Dutch cybersecurity agency took its own website offline, and the Dutch parliament went offline, and the Port of Rotterdam went offline, and Finland and France and Denmark started pulling government sites, and Wikipedia went down, and Archive.org went down, and Asana and GOG and Something Awful went down, and the University of Vienna's webmail went down for some reason, and that's just PHP. Because GitLab also dropped a CVSS 10.0, which is the highest score they give out, for a bug that's been there since 2014, so that's every self-hosted GitLab for twelve years, and then LiteLLM 1.107.0 got hijacked and shipped a credential stealer and a remote access trojan in every single wheel and the Docker images, including latest, and you didn't even have to import it, just installing it was enough, and it's the second time this year, and then Railway paused every deployment on the entire platform because someone got into the environment variables, so now everyone has to rotate every secret they've ever stored there, and TiDB Cloud said someone was walking around inside with stolen credentials for basically a month and an extortion group says they took 10.6 terabytes, and Zeabur got breached for the second time in two months and is just shutting down, like the whole company, and Node.js patched remote code execution and a TLS bypass, and CISA says Plex is being actively exploited, and someone took over 300 Tor exit relays to steal SSH passwords, and SafePay ransomware has hit over 600 critical infrastructure orgs, and India's biggest bank filed a data loss incident, and Japan has been in an official state of emergency in cyberspace since October 9, which honestly explains the 5:55 AM post. Oh, and eMudhra, a certificate authority that's issued over 60 million certificates, whose entire job is proving websites are who they say they are, was supposed to be using private keys that are random numbers over a hundred digits long, and one of them was 4. Just 4. And the others were like 66 and 237. Anyway, it's Wednesday.

Ker vidim, da jih ni malo, ki iz naše perspektive opravičujejo in upravičujejo vandalizem, ki ga gledamo po tujih mestih - kako bo kraja, uničevanje trgovin in javne infrastrukture s škodo, ki se ocenjuje na več 100 milijonov EUR pomagala pri zmanjšanju neenakosti? Kako bodo s temi dejanji prizadeti krivci za neenakost in izkoriščanje, četudi dejansko obstajajo med delodajalci in politiki? Vsak, ki je v tem protestih nekaj ukradel ali uničil, je to seveda sam sebi nekako opravičil - in se s tem še bolj oddaljil od vrednot, ki gradijo skupnost, kjer vsak nekaj prispeva; z znanjem in z delom. To ni pot k blaginji za vse.
