A Global Disinformation Index ? a step in the right direction.

Ja, du må godt optage fra tv, ærede frimand

Er TV4ever lovligt?

Ja, selvfølgelig må du optage tv. Her er den lange forklaring på et hyppigt spørgsmål.

På mange postlister har man kun én oplysning om modtageren: e-mailadressen. På alle postlister bør man have et unsubscribe-link, der øjeblikkeligt fjerner folk fra postlisten.

Hvis man bruger e-mailadresse i unsubscribe-linket kan uvedkommende unsubscribe fremmede.

Hvis man bruger e-mailadresse og/eller unikt ID i unsubscribe-linket kan uvedkommende unsubscribe fremmede.

Og, som historien i enden af dette link fortæller, er det meget billigt at omgå MD5-hashede adgangskoder.

Den rigtige løsning? Lav noget hjemmerullet encoding, som skurkene ikke kan knække automatiseret på få sekunder.

Det gjorde jeg til en kunde og de 33.000 e-mailadresser på deres postlister var beskyttet i 8 år. Det er altid rart her senere at læse at det var rigtigt at holde sig fra MD5.

Four cents to deanonymize: Companies reverse hashed email addresses

Hmmm

Et godt spørgsmål, man altid kan stille sig selv er: "Kan jeg trække i siden af rebet? Kan jeg støtte en anden løsning end den fraktionerne i hver ende af tovtrækningen anbefaler?". I dette indslag kan man fx. se to væmmelige ork-fraktioner - Trump-tilhængere og Antifa - i hver deres ende af tovet. Og så hobitterne: ægteparret Weinstein. Man har som regel altid en mulighed for at trække i siden af tovet og opnå mere end orkerne.

Slåss med Trump-tilhengere og kaller liberale for fascister

"The highly emotive language of many of these reviews and the wide and gleeful sharing of them are further manifestations of our reactivity in the current environment. People are so caught up in the fraught interpersonal ideological tensions of our discursive climate that they are increasingly searching for catharsis over analysis. They desire things that will relieve the psychological tensions that they feel so keenly. Consequently, they produce or pounce upon anything that will enable them to drive out, at least in rhetorical effigy, the persons or parties by whom they feel threatened. There is something in their system and they need to purge it out. [...]

They probably desire peace, but believe that is to be found through driving out the other side, whatever that side might be. All of their pent-up tension cries out for catharsis, which is pursued through rhetorical attacks upon opponents, lots of sarcasm, mockery, and dismissive humour, communal outrage, and other such means. [...]

Scott Alexander remarks upon the dynamics of tribalism, observing that ‘outgroups’ are created by ‘proximity plus small differences.’ One of the problems with social media is that it radically increases our proximity to each other, and our sense of being threatened by each other and the differences that we have from each other: social media intensifies our exposure to outgroups. The result is a ratcheting up of all our tensions and an increasing preoccupation with fighting against other people. As our awareness of and exposure to the outgroup increases, we will grow increasingly reactive and incapable of reasonable discourse."

Discourse in the Culture Wars and the Hunger for Catharsis

This is just the fucking worst. Imagine a self-help book written by the Darth Maul of tenured campus bad boys, an act of trahison des clercs so severe that it calls into question the entire five-th?

"I confess that I’m not only not a thing enthusiast, but have long found people clapping for things they recognize, whether it be the Stan Lee cameo or almost the entirety of Game Night, thoroughly infuriating, if not the symptom of a sick society. It’s a credit to Spielberg that his production design and action compositions are dazzling enough for me to enjoy action scenes designed largely to serve the thing recognizers, even in the context of a story that’s all empty calories."

Som altid en strålende anmeldelse

?Ready Player One? Is Visually Dazzling But Hollow Tribute To Fandom

Steven Spielberg?s ?Ready Player One? is so dazzling that it nearly transcends its asinine source material, but doesn?t quite get there.

Book Review: Twelve Rules For Life

I. I got Jordan Peterson?s Twelve Rules For Life for the same reason as the other 210,000 people: to make fun of the lobster thing. Or if not the lobster thing, then the neo-Marxism thing, or?
