Eric Kind, ancien de @PrivacyInternational@twitter.com, s'est vu refusé l'habilitation au secret pour travailler à @IPCOffice@twitter.com, l'agence britannique de contrôle des services de renseignement.

My best guess is that - in short - the vetting team has judged that because I have criticised the intelligence agencies and defended whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, I shouldn't be entrusted with national security sensitive information. 9/17
Il faut savoir que ce sont des fonctions mathématiques d'extrême-droite, selon le sociologue français réputé @MichelWieviorka@twitter.com https://mastodon.bida.im/@kossovoo/101103102746108349
Tiens, le président de la HADOPI touche 175 000 € par an. Faut dire, il s'occupe d'une institution qui fournit un travail énorme et remarquable. Ahem. https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/france/090119/le-scandale-chantal-jouanno-en-cache-beaucoup-d-autres?page_article=3

Cet article est *magique* :
1. La président de la commission nationale du débat public est payée 14K€/mois ➡️ scandale
2. Elle renonce à gérer l'orga du grand débat voulu par Macron et admet "incarner" le sentiment d’injustice qui sera au cœur du débat.
3. MAIS elle quitte pas son poste... Elle est donc payée, mais elle ne fait pas la mission qui lui incombe, le tout à 14K€/mois.
Bonus : il faut trouver qqun pour la remplacer dans sa mission (mais pas sur son poste).

cc @Sylvhem Relevant:
Also, remember those scenes in films from years past where the cops would anxiously hope to keep the evildoers on the phone long enough to "trace the call"? How quaint, now they just load a buggy website anytime to check where the phone's located, no time-pressure or oversight.
This really is one of the shittiest versions of the trickle down economy, where what trickles down is your location data, updated in real time, to shady actors.
Vice's Motherboard article on how easy it is to track people's physical location using their mobile phone is another example of why using mobile phone numbers as identifiers for instant messaging services (WhatsApp, Signal, more) is a very bad idea. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/nepxbz/i-gave-a-bounty-hunter-300-dollars-located-phone-microbilt-zumigo-tmobile Sure, it helps with discoverability of contacts, but at the expense of many other things.
Ok, I've given it about 10 years thought (give or take) and I've reached the conclusion that I like @Alex_Turner_@twitter.com
J'ignorais que la carte du Monde Diplomatique montrant les lieux du pouvoir à Paris et les reliant aux lieux des manifestations des Gilets Jaunes avait autant scandalisé les journalistes d'un certain establishment. Wow. Leur manque de recul / côté chient de garde est incroyable. https://www.acrimed.org/Lieux-de-pouvoir-la-carte-du-Monde-diplomatique (via @taziden, merci !)
I was always quite dubious of Mozilla (@moznews ) using a third party to manage their question/answers help website: http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/how_do_i_show_full_original_message_in_reply And now of course, it's gone, taking away with it all the knowledge that was there. The tradeoff again was control vs. convenience, it appears.
@riffraff En passant : les lundi*s* au soleil :)
Je veux acheter un niveau à bulle pour 4 € à cette personne. Elle me propose de venir le chercher à Vauréal (36 km, 2h20 en vélo. Aller.). Hmm, non.

Now playing: 13 & God, by 13 & God. This album is really great, a little sad, melancholic, yet still full of hopeful moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN5SxbgCF6o
Hey everyone, we made to 2019. Take care of yourselves and let's keep up the good fight! :)
And all of a sudden, Trains, by Porcupine Tree starts playing on @radioparadise. Always a lovely moment.
