Wie Deutschland bei wichtigen Rohstoffen unabhängiger werden kann
Der deutschen Industrie fehlen immer häufiger wichtige Rohstoffe. Die Wirtschaft ist abhängig von einem Lieferanten: China. Doch es gibt Auswege. Von M. Schuster, J. Thürmer und J. Lamour.
@tagesschau Recycling kann wirklich eine Lösung sein. Lagerhaltung erhöht allerdings eher die Schwankungen im System. Und es kostet auch Geld und Ressourcen.
#Fundraiser news: We reached our first goal of €50,000 in a week and have now surpassed our first stretch goal of €75,000. Our final stretch goal is to reach €100,000 before the end of year.

End of Japanese community at Mozilla due to the introduction of AI-based translation.
The community members have expressed disappointment and frustration that their long term volunteer efforts and local knowledge were being replaced by machine translation, which they felt did not match the quality of human provided support.
This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry.
Added screenshot in case Mozilla decided to remove it

Title: End of Japanese community
Text by user named marsf that reads:
Hi, I am a locale leader of SUMO Japanese community. I have contributed to the Support over 20 years, before the beginning of support.mozilla.org.
Today, November 4, we decided to end our SUMO Japanese community.
In October 22, the sumobot was introduced to Japanese KB articles. I cannot accept its behavior and no words.
* It doesn't follow our translation guidelines.
* It doesn't respect current localization for Japanese users, so they were lost.
* It approves its direct English MT immediately for All archived KB articles.
* It approves only in 72 hours after its updates, so we lost our work to train new contributors.
* It has been working now without our acceptance, without controls, without communications.
* Over 300 Knowledge Base articles are overridden by sumobot.
They are all happened on the product server, not on staging server. I understand that this is mass destruction of our work and explicit violation to the Mozilla mission, allowed officially.
Therefore, I (marsf) declare:
* I quit to contribute to support.mozilla.org.
* I prohibit to use all my translation as learning data for SUMO bot and AIs.
* I request to remove all my translation from learned data of SUMO AIs.
However, individual Japanese contributors may want to work in their responsibility. It is their choice, we don't care nor support.

EU-Kommission soll Aktivisten für Klimalobbyismus bezahlt haben
Die EU-Kommission soll laut eines Medienberichts Umweltverbände für Klagen und Kampagnen gegen Firmen bezahlt haben, darunter auch deutsche. Ziel der Geheimverträge sei gewesen, die Öffentlichkeit von der Klimapolitik der EU zu überzeugen.

Ukraine-Liveblog: ++ Angriffe auf Charkiw und Saporischschja ++
Russland hat in der Nacht die Städte Charkiw und Saporischschja mit Drohnen angegriffen. Einem Medienbericht zufolge könnten die USA bereit dazu sein, die ukrainische Halbinsel Krim als russisch anzuerkennen.
@tagesschau
Nein, nicht die USA. Die aktuelle Besetzermacht vielleicht. Aber sie spricht nicht für die demokratischen Parteien der USA oder die amerikanische Bevölkerung. Und wir sollten nicht so tun als würden wir sie anerkennen. Damit helfen wir nur der kognitiven Dissonanz.
Die Krim ist ukrainisch.

@searchliaison (warum nicht einfach Google?) manchmal etwas zu Risikobereit mit seinen Agenten ist. Das könnte dafür sorgen, dass Google weniger Support in moderaten und konservativen Kreisen genießt als ihnen lieb wäre. Ich sehe aber einen Trend hin zu moderaterem Vorgehen.
I just wasted my entire lunch break trying to find a supporting news story to verify a very worrying hot take boosted by someone I generally trusted to not spread provocative misinformation, and now I trust that person a bit less to not spread provocative misinformation.
I boosted several posts about this already, but since people keep asking if I've seen it....
MITRE has announced that its funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) program and related programs, including the Common Weakness Enumeration Program, will expire on April 16. The CVE database is critical for anyone doing vulnerability management or security research, and for a whole lot of other uses. There isn't really anyone else left who does this, and it's typically been work that is paid for and supported by the US government, which is a major consumer of this information, btw.
I reached out to MITRE, and they confirmed it is for real. Here is the contract, which is through the Department of Homeland Security, and has been renewed annually on the 16th or 17th of April.
MITRE's CVE database is likely going offline tomorrow. They have told me that for now, historical CVE records will be available at GitHub, https://github.com/CVEProject
Yosry Barsoum, vice president and director at MITRE's Center for Securing the Homeland, said:
“On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, funding for MITRE to develop, operate, and modernize the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE®) Program and related programs, such as the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) Program, will expire. The government continues to make considerable efforts to support MITRE’s role in the program and MITRE remains committed to CVE as a global resource.”

Dear CVE Board Member,
We want to make you aware of an important potential issue with MITRE’s enduring
support to CVE.
On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, the current contracting pathway for MITRE to develop,
operate, and modernize CVE and several other related programs, such as CWE, wil
expire. The government continues to make considerable efforts to continue MITRE’
role in support of the program
If a break in service were to occur, we anticipate multiple impacts to CVE, including
deterioration of national vulnerability databases and advisories, tool vendors, incident
response operations, and all manner of critical infrastructure.
MITRE continues to be committed to CVE as a global resource. We thank you as a
member of the CVE Board for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Yosry Barsoum
VP and Director

The diagrams alao suggests that some federation on intermediate steps might be useful for resilience. Are there already established standards for data exchange on these levels?
Due process just means making you follow the rules and letting judges determine if you did. How is that bad? It’s literally part of why we rebelled against Great Britain.

A tweet by End Wokeness says Justice Barrett joined the three liberal justices to rule against Trump using the Alien Enemies Act for deportations, with a photo of the four justices smiling. Mike Lee comments, “This is disappointing.” Elon Musk replies, “Suicidal empathy is a civilizational risk.” The main tweet above reads, “They’re calling due process suicidal.”

In the EU, national borders won’t limit your opportunities.
Free movement allows every citizen to travel, work, and live anywhere in the EU without special formalities.
More than 10 million of us have already built careers across borders.
In 2024:
📈 3.8% of EU working age population are movers
👥 10.1 million working-age EU citizens lived in another member state
🔄 The number of cross-border workers reached 1.83 million

@EUCommission
True value. But sometimes we are still limited. For instance in Berlin I cannot choose my #jobcenter or #sozialamt location. First you need a Meldeadresse in the same district that your chosen offices are. And Meldeadressen might be the scarcest resource in this city.
Israeli prime minister's office announces Benjamin Netanyahu departing tomorrow for Washington following an invitation from US President Donald Trump to discuss tariff issue, efforts to return hostages, Israel-Turkey relations, Iranian threat and the battle against the ICC.
@w7voa
Will there be efforts to capture Netanyahu, considering how the US has a separation of powers and the president isn't the only decision maker in thr country?

The government is taking dramatic steps in response to Teslas catching on fire and what's weird about this is they only care when there are not people in the car. If a Tesla catches on fire while it is empty that is a big deal to the government and they investigate it as terrorism and hate crimes. But if a Tesla catches on fire while people are driving it that is normal and the government sees nothing there to investigate
@itsfoss I thought it is an effort that is supported by EU politicians and/or staff but not officially recognized as the one true EU solution yet.
I love #Redhat but I wonder as well whether #suse or #kde's own distro wouldn't be the better choice. They might still end up using Fedora for the time being as there are some situations in which higher quality might be more important than local development.

@pixelfed I understand why you celebrate that success, but I'm really looking forward to the people who sent you the VCs to find a way through Kickstarter and similar means to finance a bigger vision with more zeroes in them, even if the growth towards these numbers is slow.
For instance, what financing ideas does the
@EUCommission have? Democratic governments truly want ethical and independent social media with a leadership that understands how both systems can influence each other healthily.

@dansup Awesome news! Are you planning a playstore release? I use Mastodon on my phone a lot, but currently, I think it's the only fediverse app that made it in the official store. I won't do f-droid on this phone without a save way to install and update it.
@debian Done. It's hard to scroll the whole page on my OEM android phone screen through the browser window that loads from the Mastodon app, as both lists fill more screen space than what I can grab with my fingers. So I made a good enough list, but not the perfect list. Ie, should be fine.

Fitik Is that a good move?
mozilla doesn't have a critical market share anymore. They have to let go of people because their main source of income is their main competitor, who itself is also struggling with mostly being ad financed, which is the opposite of internet freedom. The brand might be the only valuable asset left. Why not invest in diversifying and stabilizing income streams instead? #mozilla
