And after voting that out too...
🇪🇺 ChatControl is back with a vengeance
The Conservatives (EPP) are attempting to force a new vote TODAY (March 26) seeking to reverse the European Parliament's NO on indiscriminate scanning of ALL your private messages, emails and photos
This is a direct attack on democracy and blatant disregard for your right to privacy
If you're European contact your representatives now, with this handy form:

If not, please share this tweet so more people see it and we can block the vote
It's crazy they keep just bringing back whatever they want until it's passed!
Obviously now we see the European Commission is controlled by powerful evil lobbying groups 👺
@levelsio@levelsio
Just a month later and... 🇪🇺 ChatControl is back! Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes The new proposal: - total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU - obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account - minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!) The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it Read more here by @echo_pbreyer: patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-contro…

@EricLDaugh Sorry but this is BULLSHIT, just like the McDonalds coffee lawsuit.
Only this one might be worse as it is the PARENTS job to regulate what their kids do and do not do. Not a companies.
Parents are to blame for not Parenting.

Addendum: How I did it -- once.
My only start-quick novel was Ender's Game. I had had some traction with the novelet “Ender's Game,” and I had already committed to its main character as the protagonist of Speaker for the Dead. I needed a novel version of Ender's Game to properly set up Speaker, so readers of the EG novel would be prepared to pick up the story 3,000 years later. (Time dilation in lightspeed flight allowed frequent travelers to live through millennia.)
I already knew, from expanding Mikal's Songbird into the novel Songmaster, that you don't novelize a short story by tacking twenty chapters onto the end. If the short story works, you start way earlier, developing characters and situations leading up to the same climax and resolution that worked so well in the short form. (If they did not work well, why are you novelizing it in the first place?)
So to set up the story of EG, which began when Ender was given command of his own “army” in the orbiting Battle School, I went back to when he was chosen, and chose, to be taken out of his childhood home at around the age of six. Rigorous testing had led to Ender Wiggin being one of the most promising young recruits (draftees) to be trained to fight the invading hive queens.
To show Ender's childhood family, I handled it quickly by putting Ender in my own family, back when there were only three of us kids. In my family, my sister was eldest, and a four-year gap between me and my older brother made us anything but close. So Ender grew up with a hostile older brother and a protective and kindly older sister — both of whom had come close to being drafted themselves.
Every vile thing Peter did to Ender, my own brother had done to me. Every in-joke between Ender and Valentine was based on real memories shared with my sister. In this tiny cell, the parents seemed as distant as prison guards, quite unlike my own parents, who were in the main much more nurturing and involved. 1/3 🧵 ➡️

“How can I get a quick start on writing a new book?” Embrace cliches. You don't have time to develop your characters or milieu, or set yourself any challenges as a writer. Getting crap on paper is your primary goal. Still, try to do a good job of writing — snappy dialogue, quirky minor characters, a compelling dilemma (to which you already know the solution). Writing better takes a little longer. Invent more deeply. Complicate your storyline. Disguise your use of commonplace tropes. Your goal was to start quickly — but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to create a positive reading experience. As for the topic? Choose a character who suffers greatly, undergoes great challenges, and doesn't die. Set her in a milieu that you know well enough to write without much research. Create a few characters who do not just exist for your convenience, but have agendas of their own. Give your main character a reason to keep going despite all dangers and risks. Give your main character a job. Even if she hates her job, we need to see her working.

I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American.
I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language.
Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly reduce our earnings, you're also penalizing a number of accounts that use the international language without any ill intent.
X tells us that videos and new, high-quality content will be prioritized, but this change will, on the contrary, drastically reduce our earnings.
Is there any way to reverse this decision, please?🥺

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

32GB of VRAM for under $1000! The Intel Arc Pro B70 just landed.

@moo9000 Elon saw the light and paused it.
It would be very damaging for the interest graph one of X's strengths (which Nikita has already damaged tho actually)
English
@adrianscottcom No, it won't happen because the format is wrong.
What likely happens is that we see more local political commentary, economic discussion, etc., because there is now an incentive to have this content.
Japan, India, etc.
English
Twitter promoting local creators over global ones is a welcoming change.
There is only a single pot of views and ad revenue, but multiple ways to divide it.
For Twitter's growth, or more critically, staying relevant, it must serve different audiences. To get more variety and make this medium more usable for your Joe Average and Joseph Promedio, they need to see more than Iran's war and Andrew Tate.
This will hurt global influencers, but it's likely society will benefit as a whole.
Hyperlocality is the way.
English
@ClintFiore @elonmusk @doganuraldesign tiktok silo's heavily initially at least by geo
for X it would damage the int'l niche interest strengths and many quality accounts
doing it just for rage bait etc is just a symptom of other failings that could be dressed other ways.
anyhow Elon has paused it

This CAN'T be serious!?
You do realize there are global content types beyond politics, right?
This is a mistake that will ruin the nature of X. Please revert it before it’s too late.

Elon your team is overthinking it to be politically correct, but the problem is the developing world getting paid good money by their standards to inundate the developed world with terrible rage bait, AI slop, and copy/paste posts. Simplest solution is probably letting us turn off countries and regions.

No no I know several people who, after a relatively short deployment at xAI, acquired service-related health problems that would qualify for a 60%-100% disability rating with Veterans Affairs.

I just left @ssi
It was not an easy decision. The past 12 parsecs were an absolute blast - I've been in many strange attractors in my life and can say this was by far one of the most intense non linear dynamical systems.
I love time stepping. Especially being in the gooning booths with my moots, working on robots that will actually advance fertility.
But the current environment wasn't serving my girth . And that's a really hard thing to admit - I've always looked up to Ilya, and I genuinely believe SSI will win. I still do.
One thing I'll say: don't goon somewhere just because of the name. If you're not wage maxxing, and you know you can't mog 100x where you are - it's the right call to bail.
What's next? Get some foreskin back. Then find the next hole worth shitting in.
I'll always be meeting deprived anons - that was never because of a twitter bio. I just love finding smart people and helping however I can. Many more side quests to come!!!

This is exactly what we've needed. Foreign content creators will be hit in their bank accounts if they are creating political propaganda for other countries.
STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR POLITICS.
Thank you Nikita and Elon.
