2 months ago+9 9 0Commented in Destroying Gaza’s Health Care System Is a War Crime
Most things done to the Palestine people the past 76 years by Israel are warcrimes. And not just Israel, the countries that support Israel with politics, money and weaponry are guilty also. It's Zionism, not Judaism, which is at the base of all of these atrocities. And a large dose of colonialism, not just by Zionists, but the countries that used their veto to start all this in 1948, read USA, GB, France and Germany. They all wanted to "get rid of the Jews" way before the second world war and saw this as their chance to do it "legally", with the extra prize of political and military influence over the region. But, come on, let's all vote for these motherfuckers and criminals.

On Mastodon people are disagreeing, simply because the article in question doesn't tell about the target, there's only one single source and the researcher is not named. One of the responses to that post is pretty valid, namely the toothbrushes' brands are not mentioned and it seems rather impossible that toothbrushes have wifi, most of them have bluetooth (pun not intended) and are only connected to a phone. In order to use that phone, you have to hack that phone also. It's not that easy as presented. The article that was linked as source of the news was behind a paywall, so I have tried to undo it. Here's the link. To me it's more fearmongering than reality.
That being said, I think it's always smart to check the safety of your equipment, whether it's a toothbrush or a system critical computer. Like with operating systems, people tend to just use it, consume it, without questioning the safety of all that stuff. Putting your trust in companies is never a wise idea, since they have just one main goal: a profitable bottomline.
Edit: the botnet with toothbrushes story was merely an illustration and not a fact, see this Mastodon-post. Also on YouTube someone has some really well argumented comments on this story.

2 months ago+14 14 0Commented in AI and Employment: Is Universal Basic Income the Answer?
First things that will happen when an UBI gets introduced: rents increase, food prices will go berserk and most likely governments will use taking away the UBI from persons who have different opinions than the state dictates. I'm all for equality and think that an UBI is a great idea, but the abuse by forementioned states, landlords and companies will deminish its' effect. A way better idea is to abolish money all together, but that will surely find opposition with the people who sit on large piles of it and use it as a tool to obtain power.
