An #OpenLetter to Sam Altman and all #AI Executives:
Dear Sir/Madam,
With all due respect, please, go stick your head in a pig.
Rechtssicherheit für IT-Sicherheit
Seit Jahren kämpfen IT-SicherheitsexpertInnen für klare rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen, die ihre wichtige Arbeit schützen und fördern. Nach dem ersten Referentenentwurf der IT-Sicherheitsgesetze und dem folgenden Wechsel der Regierung ist es jetzt an der Zeit, das Thema erneut auf die politische Agenda zu setzen! 
Wir haben daher einen offenen Brief an die Union und SPD verfasst, in dem wir fordern, die Rechtssicherheit in der IT-Sicherheitsforschung nachhaltig zu verbessern. Unser Ziel ist es, das Thema wieder in den Koalitionsvertrag und die Arbeitskreise der neuen Regierung zu bringen.
Wir sammeln derzeit Unterschriften und planen, den Brief in den kommenden Tagen an die zuständigen Politikbüros zu senden
Du kannst helfen!
Unterstütze unseren Brief und setzen dich für eine bessere rechtliche Grundlage für die IT-Sicherheitsforschung und Ethical Hacker ein. Jeder einzelne Beitrag und jede Unterschrift zählt!
Teile diesen Aufruf, damit wir gemeinsam ein starkes Signal setzen können. Gemeinsam können wir die Voraussetzungen für eine sicherere digitale Zukunft schaffen!

In case you haven't seen this, it's our #OpenLetter to Greater Manchester #UKLabour MPs (and anyone else) about the government's dire #planning 'reforms'.
Thanks to those who've complimented us (@steadystatemcr) and shared it.

Have you monitored social media over the past 48h? You should. The community is outraged. If you don’t reverse this course of action immediately, publish a heartfelt apology to the community—the very people who fund your success—and genuinely commit to never again engaging in such a disgraceful act, your once-promising story will come to an end.
The choice is yours, but be assured, without the trust of your customers, you have no future.
Sinc.

Listen to your community and stop this attack on our printing workflows. Immediately. You claim this change is for security? Really? That’s absurd. Why on earth should a printer operating in LAN-only mode require this new authentication feature? Explain that. Let’s not kid ourselves; we all know the real reason: greed.

My open letter to Apple, about Tim Cook’s massive donation to a fascist dictator.
It’s hastily written. Not an epic piece. But I had to put my thoughts onto paper.
