Overvåkingskapitalismen – Litteraturhuset, Oslo

Shoshana Zuboff er Harvard-professoren som har varslet en hel verden om hvordan den viltvoksende overvåkingskapitalismen truer frihet og demokrati. Men hva er egentlig «overvåkingskapitalisme»?

Torsdag 22. oktober (kl. 19:00 til kl. 20:20) kan du høre henne i en eksklusiv samtale med Mareile Kaufmann.

https://litteraturhuset.no/arrangement/overvakingskapitalismen

For oss som ikke har muligheten til å reise til Oslo blir også intervjuet direktesendt på youtube. (mpv er din venn.)

Boken hennes er endelig også tilgjengelig på norsk: https://spartacus.no/boker/overvakingskapitalismens-tidsalder

@Vegard Fjeldberg Enig i det! Egentlig litt overraskende at Litteraturhuset ikke har en bedre eller egen løsning for direktesendinger. Er jo teknisk sett ikke så vanskelig. Men det er vel tross alt mer jobb enn å bruke noe som noen har satt opp for deg.

Med youtube har man i hvertfall tilgang via mpv eller vlc for litt beskyttelse.

Horror fans and morbidly curious individuals are more psychologically resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic

Harald Eilertsen

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 11:34:17 +0200

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). It will do you good!

One explanation for why people engage in frightening fictional experiences is that these experiences can act as simulations of actual experiences from which individuals can gather information and model possible worlds.

...

Interestingly, morbid curiosity and horror fandom predicted divergent types of psychological resilience. While horror fandom predicted less psychological distress, morbidly curious individuals experienced greater positive resilience. A history of watching horror films may help build emotion regulation skills that can be utilized to ameliorate the psychological distress that accompanies dysphoric events, but it might not offer strategies for enjoying life in the midst of negative experiences. Instead of psychological buffering, morbid curiosity seems to promote positive resilience — i.e., positive experiences in the face of threatening stimuli. Presumably, this occurs through a psychological shift in the cost-benefit ratio of approaching a potentially dangerous stimulus. The morbidly curious individual may not see the pandemic as a terrible negative event (or at least not only as that). Instead, the morbidly curious individual may see the pandemic as an opportunity of sorts.

Pandemic practice: Horror fans and morbidly curious individuals are more psychologically resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic

Høring - endringer i ekomloven

Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet og Justis- og beredskapsdepartementet sender her på høring forslag om å innføre en plikt for tilbydere av ekomtjenester til å lagre IP-adresser, slik at politiet kan få tilgang til IP-adressene for å bekjempe alvorlig kriminalitet.

#norge #politikk #personvern

Harald Eilertsen

Fri, 09 Oct 2020 20:39:19 +0200

Wessel-Aas er inne på det samme:

Noen vil huske diskusjonen om og skjebnen til EUs datalagringsdirektiv, som av EU-domstolen i dom avsagt i storkammer i 2014 ble erklært ugyldig, som stridende mot EUs charter om grunnleggende rettigheter. Til tross for at den avgjørelsen, som formelt bare angikk selve EU-direktivet, åpenbart innebar at de enkelte statene heller ikke i nasjonal lovgivning kunne drive med tilsvarende masselagring av borgernes kommunikasjonsdata, mente noen at dette fortsatt var en mulighet. Det slo EU-domstolen – i en dom av 21. Desember 2016, om lovgivning i henholdsvis Sverige og Storbritannia om masselagring av borgernes kommunikasjonsdata til potensielt bruk i kriminalitetsbekjempelse – fast at man ikke kan. Det er i strid med grunnleggende krav til person- og kommunikasjonsvern i Europa.

Protection of journalistic sources in Norwegian law

Protection of journalistic sources in Norwegian law

Both the Civil Procedure Act and the Criminal Procedure Act in Norway contain regulations which give journalists the right to not reveal their sources. According to the wording of these regulations, however, this right is not without exceptions.

Interesting post from Jon Wessel-Aas, Norwegian lawyer and expert on human rights, privacy, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and related subjects.

Why is it that it's the one arguing for using standard protocols for communication that's beeing treated as the difficult one.

— "You just have to install app X, and we can talk together," they say.
— "But app X does not work on my system," I say. "Why can't we use a standard protocol, and then everybody can use the app the prefer. Why do we even have to specify what apps to use to talk? Why can't we just say: call me!"

A slight pause...
— "But we want to use app X."
— "So why don't you tell the vendor of app X to support the standard?" I retort.

They come back quickly: "No, you have to adapt! We're only following what the corporate overlords have told us. We are in line, you are the problem!"

Why is it that it's the one arguing for using standard protocols for communication that's beeing treated as the difficult one.

Because most people are unaware that there is such a thing. They're unaware that they can make regular phone calls and send SMS from one provider to another because of standards. They're unaware that they can send e-mails between services because of standards. Heck, they're unaware that the whole internet (not just the WWW or their particular apps) only exists because of standards. That wouldn't be such an issue if they didn't also refuse to be educated about it.

Harald Eilertsen

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 13:57:42 +0200

@Tanja Of course. You are right. But the funny thing is, this conversation (lightly paraphrased, of course) takes place after I've explained a number of times that these standards exists. (I worked with developing standards based video communications equipment for more about 12 years in my previous job.)

And this in a company that know very well how the internet and the standards around it works. Anyways, it was more of a sigh of frustration than an actual question :) Thanks for the support, though :)

People want tools that just work.
Tools that just work are created by companies that have got the resources to create them. And PR teams who tell you how great they just work.
Therefore tools that just work cannot be created by some idealists who in addition attempt to limit themselves by adhering to some standards that nobody cares about and uses. I.e. they don't just work.
See?
I am seeing this even among seasoned admins. Some of whom are even openly telling me that they don't care for privacy, they want something that just works and where they don't need to invest time in.

Sigh.

@hEARt PhoniX Yeah, the "Moxy Marlinspike argument" as I've come to call it lately. It's as common as it's flawed. Things that "just work" do so because they adhere to standards, not because they break them.

What I usually ask people to do when they claim Skype, Zoom, MS Teams or any of the other proprietary lock-in platforms "just work" is: Call me! I give them my SIP address and tell them to call me.
