Schon krass: #LG zwingt mich als Nutzer eines seiner Fernsehgeräte zuzustimmen, dass sie mein komplettes Sehverhalten erfassen und weiterverarbeiten. Wenn ich das nicht tue, darf ich auf diesem Gerät noch nicht mal Netflix starten - für das ich 20 Euro monatlich zahle.

Wie komme ich aus der Nummer raus ohne diesen Fernseher zu schrotten? Und gibt es einen Gerätehersteller, der das nicht auf die gleiche Weise macht...?

If you want to understand the horrifying future these tech billionaire nazis have in store for humanity, it helps to understand what parts of our "glorious past" as a species they're looking to recreate. This interview with University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign information sciences and media studies professor Anita Say Chan talks a bit about the history of data and eugenics, what it means that guys like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel (along with most of Silicon Valley's movers and shakers) are devout believers in eugenicist philosophies, and how that's reflected in their efforts to reshape society in horrifying, and objectively fascist ways. In terms of our discussion about the uber rich fascists who heavily influence the Trump regime they bought and paid for, I'm mostly including this here to point out that these guys have gone on record in support of a lot of openly fascist shit and for the most part, your media pretends we don't already know these guys are nazis; it's not a secret, it's just not "worth mentioning" when media orgs are fawning over technofascist billionaires destroying our planet and our lives.

Eugenics Isn’t Dead—It’s Thriving in Tech

"Big Tech successors like Musk and PayPal billionaire-turned-arms dealer Peter Thiel have overtly promoted fraudulent race science, with Musk amplifying users on X who argue that people of European descent are biologically superior. In response to another user’s deleted post suggesting that students at historically Black institutions have lower IQs, Musk posted, “It will take an airplane crashing and killing hundreds of people for them to change this crazy policy of DIE”—diversity, equity, and inclusion, misspelled. In 2016, Thiel buddied up to a prominent white nationalist, and, the same year, was said by a Stanford dorm-mate to have complimented South Africa’s “economically sound” system of racial apartheid."

STAT: Gold-standard maternal mortality database in limbo as CDC staff placed on leave. “As part of the sweeping layoffs that rocked the Department of Health and Human Services on Tuesday, the entire staff that oversaw an annual survey to better understand infant and maternal health — and that was considered the gold standard in the field — was placed on administrative leave. The Pregnancy […]

'Two hundred forty-six researchers in the fields of ecology and evolutionary biology — including two from Clemson University — worked in 174 teams to answer two different research questions based on the same unpublished data sets.

They came up with a strikingly variable range of answers, including some that were direct opposites of each other.'

Clemson News · Study: Researchers’ choices could result in different conclusions from the same dataThere is growing recognition among scientists that the many choices researchers must make — such as which statistical methods to apply — can lead to divergent conclusions even when the different options are all reasonable.  The leaders of the study say the results ring true to a growing recognition among scientists that the many choices researchers must make — such as which statistical methods to apply — can lead to divergent conclusions even when the different options are all reasonable.

Clemson News: Study: Researchers’ choices could result in different conclusions from the same data . “If you give hundreds of researchers the same data and the same hypotheses to test, they will reach the same conclusions, right?
