1/2 Life on #Earth has become quite absurd. I’m with folks who are furious about #PBS funding. We are one. But the entirety of our #PublicHealth, research , #Science and #Technology, #Cybersecurity and #NatSec infrastructure have been attacked and damaged from within. If a foreign adversary had done this the missiles would have already flown…and not a word about those ? For many PBS is the redline. None of this is funny but the comedy is just sitting there. Fasten your seatbelts…

Intellectual Property and National Security:
The spy chief also told a story about an overseas delegation visiting a "sensitive Australian horticultural facility" who snapped branches off a "rare and valuable variety of fruit tree" in order to steal them. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-31/asio-chief-warns-of-espionage-costs/105598696
"Almost certainly, the stolen plant material allowed scientists in the other country to reverse engineer and replicate two decades of Australian research and development," he said.

An EDITORIAL from a US #natsec thinktank:

"The moral obligation is palpable. The legal obligation is also clear. Pursuant to the duties to ensure respect for international #humanitarianlaw and to act if there is at least “a serious risk” that #genocide is being, or will be, committed (on which we elaborate our views below), and given the gravity and urgency of the moment, no lawful measure can be eschewed."

@GossiTheDog okay, so the #ITsec is run by criminally incompetent #MAGA|ts that have no clue that they're ruining #NatSec by refusing to patch shit as long as they can shitpost stale memes and speculate with shitcoins on taxpayers' time.

• In that case, I'd not see that as a hack, but more like natural selection.

Even if I wanted to fix it (and I have no reason to do so given the #Trump-Regime basically displaced everyone I hold dear), I could be glad if they just decided to sue the shit out of me for "hacking", not try to put a bullet in my head or not forcibly disappear me into a black site like Diego Garcia.

• I mean, if there was like a proper #ResponsibleDisclosure channel anywhere you'd propably already used that one. I'm just not gonna do that because the US is hatecriming mutuals of mine and with #TechIlliterate judges that could be convinced that using #nmap to confirm this is "#hacking" I'm too busy getting folks to safety than getting an unwanted home invasion by armed cops traumatizing neighbours.

@pascal_f @RyekDarkener@mastodon.social @ennolenze Bigger problem I see is relying on the #USA for Europe's "#NatSec" is a terrible idea given how deranged #Trump is...

trump’s Qatari plane needs so many upgrades it may face flight restrictions and need a military escort —

The US Air Force has been tasked with modifying the Qatari jet gifted to trump. It could cost US $1B to upgrade — https://uk.news.yahoo.com/us-air-force-tasked-modifying-130643537.html

Ob @bnd angesichts des #Trump - #Regimes und dessen Aktionen [gegen den #IStGH] und der #cyberfaschistisch|en Macht qua #CloudAct endlich Alarm schlägt was #GAFAM-Produkte oder generell #Technologie aus den #USA, besonders aber #Microsoft Produkte wie #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice & #WindowsServer angeht?

• Ich will dem @bsi und @Bundesregierung nicht zu nahe treten, aber die gegenwärtige #IT-Architektur der #Bundesrepublik #Deutschland ist mit "Die Nationale Sicherheit und Handlungsfähigkeit des Staates hängt von den #vibes von Trump ab" noch höflich umschrieben!

Und da ich nunmal #Bürger dieses Landes bin wird dies leider auch mein Problem - entgegen aller Warnungen meinerseits!

• Was hindert die #US-Regierung daran Deutschland, die #EU oder den Rest der Welt mittels entsprechender Produkte in #Geiselhaft zu nehmen?

Oder ist jene #Abhängigkeit von der Laune und dem Guten Willen aus D.C. gar politisch gewollt?

• Ernsthafte Frage… Ich erwarte keine #Antwort, sondern erwarte #Verantwortbarkeit und #Konsequenzen!

@Andy_European Pure graft and abuse of power. Also a #NatSec risk. The upgrade to serve as Air Force One will likely cost more than the vehicle itself. Think about it: advanced military quality communications, EMP hardened electronics, defensive countermeasures, etc. etc. To reconvert it back to a civilian version (which I assume would be required) is another expense. And for Trump’s personal use “when he leaves office” (cough). Compared to eviscerating the #Constitution this is a small thing, but the in-your-face symbolism of corruption says one thing; “I’m above the law”
