Shell threatens lawsuit over Greenpeace North Sea vessel protest

It added: “Boarding a 72,000 metric tonne moving vessel at sea was unlawful and extremely dangerous.”

Yeah cause Shell doesn't do "unlawful and extremely dangerous" stuff all the time :nkoFacepalm2:

I think the Shell is drunk on oil again.. Someone has a fire? 🔥

gillo,

@stux Careful they might sue you back… https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/climate-energy/shell-sues-greenpeace-21-million-after-boarding-oil-vessel-2023-11-09/

According to Israel:

The UN Secretary General is “supporting terrorism” and should resign.

Amnesty International is “antisemitic.”

https://www.politico.eu/article/israel-calls-amnesty-international-antisemitic-and-biased-after-it-criticized-war-crimes-by-all-parties/

The president of Ireland is “misinformed” and “legally wrong.”

https://independent.ie/irish-news/israeli-ambassador-overstepped-line-in-criticising-president-michael-d-higgins-over-gaza-war-comments/a536624053.html

Y’know, maybe if you think everyone is in the wrong but you, it’s time to consider what the chances of that are versus the chances that you’re the one in the wrong.

gillo,

@aral if the rationale is “historical antisemitism”, I wonder what history will say in 100 years looking at what’s happening now.

@matthew_d_green I saw you posted something on X about the alleged Signal issue. More thoughts about it? (Beside the fact that I would recommend disabling link previews regardless)

Can someone please save @guardian thumbnails?

gillo,

@jerry @guardian The latter 😊

gillo,

@jerry @guardian Agree but what are they doing? Saving kilobytes by using nano-images on their feeds? Baffling, honestly…

gillo,

@jerry @guardian This is kind of a sign that at Guardian nobody is on Mastodon except a poor bot 🤖 🙄

MacOS #sonoma is behind the corner and no word yet from @GPGTools. I wish #Apple would take matters into its own hands and incorporate #pgp in Mail by default. They even have a page promoting PGP to communicate securely with them. Do they expect me to use Thunderbird for it? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201214

gillo,

@deadbeefmonster @protonmail Yeah that might be an option although I have a bunch of email addresses and a mail client definitely facilitate that. I might bite the bullet and go Thunderbird or Betterbird.

Trying Threads tonight?

I built a shortcut that makes it super easy to open profile URLs shared on Mastodon directly in the Threads app. No more error pages or web views.

It uses OCR and Back Tap to open profiles in Threads.

Enjoy: https://www.macstories.net/ios/threader-a-shortcut-to-open-threads-profiles-from-mastodon-and-twitter-directly-in-the-threads-app/

gillo,

@viticci Worth remembering that if you want to deactivate your Threads account it turns out you can't delete it without also deleting your Instagram account.

AI sparks countless questions – social, ethical, economic, and even culinary!

Our proposed law classifies technologies based on risk:

⚠️ Ban on AI systems that threaten citizens, like social scoring or specific facial recognition.
⚠️ Strict regulations for high-risk AI in healthcare, education, and critical infrastructure.
⚠️ Additional transparency requirements for generative AI such as chatbots and image generators.

The proposal is in its final stage. Agreement is expected by year-end.

gillo,

@EU_Commission Have you mobilized the food police?! 🍍 🚫🍕

🤦‍♂️ Google's parent company, Alphabet, is warning employees not to share personal or business information with AI chatbots. This includes the company's own chatbot, Bard…. https://the-decoder.com/google-warns-employees-not-to-enter-sensitive-data-into-ai-chatbots/ #ai #google #bard

Edward Snowden has warned that surveillance technology is so much more advanced and intrusive today it makes that used by US and British intelligence agencies he revealed in 2013 look like child’s play. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/08/no-regrets-says-edward-snowden-after-10-years-in-exile

    Very interesting map of the territories and dependencies of the world. (Spoiler: the UK stays at the top of colonialism). #map #colonialism #infographics
