Identité numérique : prouve que tu existes
▻https://www.piecesetmaindoeuvre.com/spip.php?article1685La Commission européenne prépare son « portefeuille européen d’identité numérique ». Rome et Bologne adoptent le « crédit social numérique » à la chinoise. La digitalisation de l’État et son corollaire, l’identification numérique, progressent dans l’indifférence des Smartiens, à la faveur des phases aigües de la Crise (épidémie, guerre, effondrement écologique). Il aura fallu moins de vingt ans pour que se réalisent nos pires anticipations sur la société de contrainte. Pour les nouveaux venus et les nostalgiques, on a ressorti quelques archives. Te souviens-tu de Libertys ? (Pour lire le texte, ouvrir le document ci-dessous.)

Handy Mnemonics: The Five-Fingered Memory Machine – The Public Domain Review
▻https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/handy-mnemonicsBefore humans stored memories as zeroes and ones, we turned to digital devices of another kind — preserving knowledge on the surface of fingers and palms. Kensy Cooperrider leads us through a millennium of “hand mnemonics” and the variety of techniques practised by Buddhist monks, Latin linguists, and Renaissance musicians for remembering what might otherwise elude the mind.

The order further directs the Treasury Department, Office of the Attorney General and Federal Reserve to work together to produce a “legislative proposal” to create a digital currency within 210 days, about seven months.
A #digital_dollar would not merely be a digital version of the existing U.S. #dollar, but rather an entirely new currency that would, at least at first, exist alongside today’s currency. Similar to cash, the CBDC would be used to pay for goods and services and would likely be managed by the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States.

(...) Unlike the current dollar, though, a central bank #digital_currency would not exist in physical form, meaning you wouldn’t be able to go to a bank or ATM and withdraw it.
It is important to understand that the digital dollar would not be similar to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin. #Cryptocurrencies operate on blockchain technology, which is decentralized by design. No group or individual can truly control cryptocurrencies once they are launched.
Digital dollars, on the other hand, would be #traceable and #programmable. The #Federal_Reserve (or some other designated entity) would have the ability to create more digital dollars whenever it sees fit, and, depending on how the legislation is written setting up the #currency, the dollars could be formulated to have various rules and restrictions built into their design.

Et si on travaillait tous et toutes gratuitement ?, avec Maud Simonet
▻https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/103447-002-A/et-si-on-travaillait-tous-et-toutes-gratuitementLaura Raim décortique la notion de “travail gratuit” avec Maud Simonet. À partir des écrits féministes sur le travail domestique, cette spécialiste du bénévolat et directrice de recherches au CNRS dessine les contours d’une notion qui touche à nos convictions profondes.

Travail gratuit : la nouvelle exploitation ?
Qu’y a-t-il de commun entre une bénévole chargée des activités périscolaires dans une école, une allocataire de l’aide sociale qui nettoie les parcs de New York ou le rédacteur d’un blog en ligne ? Des milliers d’heures de travail exercées gratuitement pour faire fonctionner associations, services publics et entreprises. Que nous apprennent ces différentes formes « citoyennes » et « numériques » de travail gratuit ? À qui profitent-elles et qui y est assigné ? En repartant des grandes leçons de l’analyse féministe du travail domestique, et en se fondant sur plusieurs enquêtes de terrain menées en France et aux États-Unis, Maud Simonet propose une approche critique du travail par sa face gratuite. Elle analyse ces formes d’exploitation qui se développent au nom de l’amour, de la passion ou de la citoyenneté et participent à la néolibéralisation du travail dans les mondes publics et privés.

Feminism, Labour and Digital Media. The #Digital_Housewife
There is a contradiction at the heart of digital media. We use commercial platforms to express our identity, to build community and to engage politically. At the same time, our status updates, tweets, videos, photographs and music files are free content for these sites. We are also generating an almost endless supply of user data that can be mined, re-purposed and sold to advertisers. As users of the commercial web, we are socially and creatively engaged, but also labourers, exploited by the companies that provide our communication platforms. How do we reconcile these contradictions?
Feminism, Labour and Digital Media argues for using the work of Marxist feminist theorists about the role of domestic work in capitalism to explore these competing dynamics of consumer labour. It uses the concept of the Digital Housewife to outline the relationship between the work we do online and the unpaid sphere of social reproduction. It demonstrates how feminist perspectives expand our critique of consumer labour in digital media. In doing so, the Digital Housewife returns feminist inquiry from the margins and places it at the heart of critical digital media analysis.

Who Cleans the Park?: Public Work and Urban Governance in New York City
For New Yorkers, the answer to the question “Who cleans your park?” is complex: Welfare-to-work trainees, volunteers, unionized city workers (working within or outside their official job descriptions), summer youth workers, workers for private, nonprofit parks “conservancies,” staff of companies working under contract, and people sentenced to community service all perform routine maintenance in parks. With public services no longer being provided primarily by public workers, the state and the nature of public work have to be reevaluated. Based on four years of fieldwork in New York City parks and on nearly 140 interviews with workers inside and outside the Parks Department, and with others involved in the parks maintenance system, this book is an investigation of the conditions under which New York City’s parks are maintained, of changing labor relations and contracts of the parks’ cleaners, and of their relations at the workplace with each other. It argues that we cannot understand these unless we also try to understand the ways in which the city’s institutions have changed—with the Parks Department sometimes at the avant-garde. We must also, in turn, comprehend how and why even more encompassing changes in urban political economy shape these institutional changes. In taking this view of parks maintenance work, the book moves stepwise up levels of analysis, from an analysis of labor contracts and workplaces through organizations and their legitimation strategies, and up to larger public policies and to an understanding of the State that, in its diverse composition, produces them.

Tod der Rufsäule !
▻https://www.funk-taxi-berlin.de/rufsaeulenNoch weiß es keiner außer den Besitzern von Rufsäumenschlüsseln, denn genauso wie vor einem Jahr in aller Stille die Berliner Taxivermittlung über Sprechfunk zu Grabe getragen wurde, so heimlich still und leise werden um den Jahreswechwel 2021/2022 die Berliner Taxirufsäulen beerdigt.
Tod der Rufsäule ! hallt der Schlachtruf der Digitalisierer, die einfach bessere Margen, höheren Profit wollen und sich nicht mehr mit echten Kosten für reale Hardware abgeben wollen. SIe kommen sich vor wie revolutionäre Industrialisierer, und huldigen der kreativen Zerstörung, der disruptiven Kreativität. Dabei sind sie nur gierige Profiteure und Ausbeuter auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks, in Fernost und im nahen Westen. Menschen, auch Kunden, spielen in ihrer Welt keine Rolle.
Bereits abgeschaltet sind heute die Säulen Linden/Schwatllo bzw. Lichtefelde Süd, Siemens, Pablo-Neruda, Weddingplatz, Jakob-Kaiser, Wundt/Neue, und „Mexico“. Taxi-Berlin weiß nicht einmal mehr, daß sich Platz und Halte mit K schreiben. Alle anderen Säulen werden ebenfalls bald virtualiseirt und über die Vermittlungs-App abgebildet.
Was ist mit unseren Kundinnen und Kunden?
Wenn ich meine Lieblingshalte anrufe, kann ich nicht mehr mit dem Taxifahrer quatschen, sondern muss mit einem Gesprächspartner vorlieb nehmen, der noch nie in seinem Leben hinter dem Steuer eines Berliner Taxis gesessen hat. Wenn es ganz schlimm kommt, reißt der bei einem Callcenter in Istanbul die Schichten runter. Wieso ich noch mit dem Taxi fahren soll? Keine Ahnung, erschließt sich mir nicht mehr. Ohne Säule kann ich gleich den Kinders sagen, sie sollen mir einen Uber rufen.
Schritt für Schritt graben die größten Taxi-Lobbyisten „dem Gewerbe“ das Wasser ab. Keine Oŕtskenntnis, kein Lieblingskutscher, keine Rufsäule, kein Gespräch, kein Inhalt. Das wars dann für dieses Jahr. Mal sehen, ob wir im Neuen die Auferstehung des Taxi von den Toten erleben.
Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,
mit dem Zusammenschluss von Taxi Berlin und der WBT haben wir die Rufsäulenvermittlung übernommen. Auch in Zeiten der APP-Vermittlung wird dieses System von Fahrgästen und Fahrern genutzt.
Nachdem wir nun selbst Erfahrungen mit dem bestehenden Rufsäulensystem sammeln konnten, mussten wir feststellen, dass viele anrufende Fahrgäste nicht bedient werden können. Sei es, weil gerade niemand mit einem Rufsäulenschlüssel vor Ort ist, spezielle Fahrwünsche des Kunden nicht bedient werden können oder die Rufsäulentechnik plötzlich nicht mitspielt bzw. die Rufsäule defekt ist.
Wir wollen erreichen, dass jeder Fahrgast uns jederzeit telefonisch erreichen kann, der mit dem Berliner Taxigewerbe fahren möchte. Unser Ziel ist, dass jedem Kunden auf jeden Fall ein Taxi vermittelt wird, ohne lange Wartezeiten.
Wir sollten und wir dürfen es uns nicht mehr leisten, dass auch nur eine einzige Taxitour dadurch verloren geht oder dass wir nicht erreicht werden können. Wir werden daher die Rufsäulen modernisieren und in die bestehende digitale Vermittlung integrieren.
Was bedeutet das für Vertragspartner des Rufsäulensystems?
Damit auch die Kollegen, welche bisher ausschließlich den
Säulenschlüssel nutzen, weiterhin zum gewohnten Tarif von den
Aufträgen profitieren können, wurde extra eine eigene Taxigruppe „Rufsäule“ eingerichtet.Diese digitale Flotte ersetzt den Rufsäulenschlüssel. Der Kunde wird bei seinem Anruf direkt in die Zentrale geleitet. Von dort aus wird der Auftrag dann an die entsprechenden Rufsäulenteilnehmer vermittelt.
Findet sich hier kein Rufsäulen-Kollege, werden diese Aufträge allen Taxen im Vermittlungssystem angeboten. Der Kunde bekommt so sein bestelltes Taxi, auch wenn gerade kein Rufsäulenteilnehmer verfügbar ist.Ein Rufsäulenschlüssel wird letztendlich nicht mehr nötig sein.
Der Auftrag wird über die kostenlose Fahrerapp vermittelt.
Für die Kollegen, die bisher an der Rufsäulenvermittlung teilgenommen haben und schon Funkteilnehmer sind, wird sich bei der Auftragsvermittlung nichts ändern. Sie werden lediglich eine neue Flotte mit dem Kürzel „RFS“ bemerken.Die Kollegen, die bisher ausschließlich einen Rufsäulenschlüssel
nutzen, benötigen ein Android Smartphone und die Fahrerapp. Diesen Kollegen ermöglichen wir weiterhin, ausschließlich Rufsäulenaufträge zu fahren. Es muss keine zusätzliche Flotte gebucht werden. Für die technische Ausrüstung und Umstellung kontaktieren Sie bitte die Fahrer- und Unternehmerbetreuung unter der Mailadresse:
fub@taxi-berlin.de <mailto:fub@taxi-berlin.de>.Die Rufsäulen werden nicht alle zeitgleich abgestellt werden. Die
Umstellung wird schrittweise erfolgen. In der Übergangsphase wird also auch noch der Säulenschlüssel benötigt.Folgende Rufsäulen werden zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt bereits in die digitale Vermittlung übernommen werden. Aus diversen Gründen ist hier bereits jetzt keine normale Rufsäulenvermittlung mehr vorgesehen:
Lichterfelde Lindenstraße
Siemensdamm
Mexicoplatz
Pablo-Neruda-Str.
Weddingplatz
Jakob-Kaiser-Platz
Wundtstraße / Neue Kantstr.Über den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand informieren wir in unserem Unternehmerforum www.taxi-berlin.de/news
Wir freuen uns, nun auch auf dem Gebiet der Rufsäulen eine
zuverlässigere Vermittlung von Taxiaufträgen ermöglichen zu können.Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Hermann Waldnerund das Team von Taxi Berlin

Why Europe is a great place for digital nomads | The Economist
▻https://www.economist.com/europe/2021/10/02/why-europe-is-a-great-place-for-digital-nomadsWhy Europe is a great place for digital nomads
A varied continent with good WiFi and few internal borders
AFTER MONTHS in lockdown in grey Berlin, Chris Bloom, a personal coach and blogger, planned his escape. Risking the ire of jealous Instagram followers, he took a covid-19 test, flew to Lisbon and settled into the Outsite co-working and co-living space, a pleasant blue-and-white tiled property with the essentials—stable internet and a coffee shop. Mr Bloom is part of a growing brigade of digital nomads in Europe, who work remotely while satisfying their wanderlust. This kind of itinerant lifestyle is as old as laptops and free internet. But covid-19 has given it a boost. A game of lockdown arbitrage began earlier this year as border controls eased and people fled congested cities like Berlin and London. Some headed for other cities, such as Lisbon and Madrid, which offered sunshine and looser lockdown rules. Others chose remote spots on the Mediterranean and in the Alps. Now covid-19 restrictions are easing but the trend continues as many Europeans reject a traditional office routine after a year and a half of remote work.#Covid-19#migration#migrant#europe#sante#digitalnomade#frontiere#confinement#modedevie#technologie#travail

SaferNet (Spanish)
▻https://new.safernet.org.br/#About SaferNet
SaferNet Brazil is a non-profit organization, that provides nationwide services in Brazil, without political, religious or racial party. Founded on December 20, 2005 by a group of computer scientists, professors, researchers and law graduates, the organization started to put into practice research and social projects to fight crimes and violations of the Human Rights on the Internet.
At that time, it was urgently necessary to provide an effective, consistent and lasting response to the serious problems related to the misuse of the Internet: the practise of crimes and violations against human rights. Solicitation, production and large-scale dissemination of images related to child sexual abuse, racism, neo-nazism, religious intolerance, homophobia, incitement to crimes against life and cruelty against animals are examples of cyber crimes witnessed on the Internet.
However, Brazil has a lack of concrete policies and actions that could help to cope with these complex matter, which involves economic, social and cultural factors, with implications in the fields of ethics, morality, education, health, law, public safety, science and technology.
Once SaferNet Brazil was established, the organization became a national reference in the struggle against crimes and violations of human rights on the Internet and has been strengthened due to the national and international capacity for mobilization, the production of content and technology for the struggle against cyber crimes and the co-operation agreements signed with government institutions such as the Federal Public Ministry.
Through the dialogue, SaferNet Brazil leads the search of solutions together with the Civil Society, the Internet Industry, the Federal Government, the Federal Public Ministry, the National Congress and Police authorities.
Our goal is to transform the Internet in a responsible and ethical environment, that allows children, youngsters and adults to create, develop and build social relationships, knowledge and citizenship in a safe manner.
We count on you to build a safer cyber world!

#Frontex and #Europol: How refugees are tracked digitally
Image: Border guards in Croatia „punish“ refugees by destroying their mobile phones. Europol and Frontex, on the other hand, want their forensic evaluation (Jack Sapoch).EU agencies advise increased confiscation and extraction of asylum seekers‘ mobile phones and now provide a manual on how to do so. Apps to encrypt or disguise locations are disliked in the report as „countermeasures“ to surveillance.
Often the mobile phones they carry are the only connection between refugees and their relatives and friends in their country of origin or elsewhere. They contain contacts, personal communication as well as photos and videos as a memory of the home countries. Only within the European Union is it possible to apply for asylum in its member states. Therefore, the phones are also an indispensable aid for navigating to receiving countries and finding out about conditions and support there.
Asylum seekers‘ mobile phones are also of increasing interest to authorities. As punishment for irregular entry, border guards in Greece and Croatia, and most recently at the EU’s external border with Belarus, destroy them before abandoning their owners at sea or forcibly push them back. Police forces, on the other hand, confiscate the phones in order to gain information about routes used and people helping to flee.
Phones used to „lock, conceal and disguise“
Frontex is actually responsible for preventing irregular migration. „migrant smuggling“ is considered cross-border, organised crime, so its prosecution also falls under Europol’s jurisdiction. Five years ago, Europol opened an #Anti-Migrant_Smuggling_Centre (#EMSC) in The Hague. Europol has also set up two analysis projects, „#Phoenix“ and „#Migrant_Smuggling“, where all interested and involved member states can store and access information.
Both agencies monitor the #internet and social media, looking for any indications of „migrant smuggling“ there. Intelligence also comes from a „#Joint_Operational_Office“ in Vienna, in which Europol and the German Federal Police are also involved. An „#Internet_Referral_Unit“ (#EU_IRU) at Europol reports online presence of unwanted support for the transportation of refugees to the Internet service providers for removal.
Frontex and Europol have now published a report on the „#Digitalisation of people smuggling“. However, it is less about the tools of „smugglers“ and more about the phones of refugees. In the guide, the two EU agencies give handouts on the most commonly used messengers and how the authorities can access the content stored there.
No apps for „smuggling of migrants“ discovered
Over several pages, the report presents various apps and services, including Facebook, Instagram, Signal, Skvpe, Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp. Also included are popular VPN services or apps for encryption. They are described as „countermeasures“ to police surveillance. Frontex and Europol also list tools that can be used to disguise #GPS positions or phone numbers, calling them apps to „lock, conceal and disguise“.
Also listed are various mapping applications and open geographic data sources, including Maps.me and Google Maps, which can be used to share coordinates, routes and other information. This concerns, for example, immigration possibilities via the Eastern Mediterranean and the so-called Balkan routes. According to the report, these applications are used to a much lesser extent for routes from Russia and Ukraine or via Poland. Its contents were primarily aimed at asylum seekers from the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asian countries.
Frontex repeatedly claimed in recent years that there were apps specifically developed for „migrant smuggling“. The German government also claims to have heard „that so-called apps by smugglers exist, with which offers of boats and information about conditions in various destination countries can be retrieved“. According now to Frontex and Europol, however, such digital tools have not been discovered so far.
„Special tactics“ to obtain password or pin code
At the end of the report, the agencies give tips on how to seize and read mobile communication devices. According to the report, they come from „specialists“ and „experts“ from the #Centre_for_Cybercrime and the #Centre_for_Combating_Migrant_Smuggling at Europol. Recommendations from „other sources“ were also taken into account.
According to the „#checklist_for_facilitating_forensic_extraction“, the devices should be connected to a power bank and kept in a Faraday bag so that they do not connect to the internet. In this way, the authorities want to avoid their owners deleting content remotely. If the police have the PIN, the phone should be put into flight mode.
The authorities should „ideally“ also confiscate charging cables, memory cards and other SIM cards in the possession of the refugees. All items should be sealed and marked with the personal data of their owners. To facilitate their analysis, a device password or PIN code for forensic analysis should be provided „whenever possible“. According to the agencies, this can be done either by „addressing this matter to the user“ or by using „special tactics“.
The report leaves open whether this also includes exerting pressure or coercion on the asylum seekers or rather technical measures.

Une étude analyse le profil des familles qui éprouvent le plus de difficultés financières à la rentrée scolaire : « Elle dévoile des choses étonnantes »
▻https://www.lalibre.be/belgique/enseignement/2021/08/31/il-y-a-un-manque-de-volonte-politique-sur-la-question-de-la-gratuite-scolairJ-1 avant la rentrée des classes. Une rentrée marquée par le coronavirus, mais aussi par un coût qui reste encore élevé pour de nombreuses familles. Dans son émission, Maxime Binet a fait le point ce mardi avec Maxime Michiels, chargé d’étude et d’action politique pour la Ligue des familles.
« On a un premier pas qui a été fait avec la gratuité dans l’enseignement maternel mais il ne faut certainement pas s’arrêter là »
Sur le coût de la rentrée des classes pour une famille francophone, l’invité explique que pour l’an dernier, il avait été calculé que cela revenait à « 250 euros pour l’enseignement primaire et environ 400 euros pour l’enseignement secondaire. Mais on peut parfois monter jusqu’à 500 euros. » Plus discriminant encore, la différence de coût entre les écoles. « Certains établissements peuvent décider d’être gratuits parce qu’ils mettent des moyens en place pour fournir le matériel scolaire. D’autres au contraire vont exiger de nombreuses marques, exiger de nombreux manuels scolaires. Et donc vont faire gonfler la facture des parents », détaille Maxime Michiels. « Alors je ne sais pas si c’est une volonté de faire le tri entre les élèves, mais au final ce qu’on voit c’est que ça le fait. »
Il faut sortir de l’école payante et avancer vers la gratuité
Mais pourquoi le coût est-il parfois si élevé alors que la gratuité est inscrite dans la Constitution ? « Je pense qu’il y a un manque de volonté politique sur cette question », répond le chargé d’étude et d’action politique pour la Ligue des familles. « C’est pour cette raison d’ailleurs que la Ligue des familles se bat depuis de très nombreuses années pour faire émerger cette volonté politique parce que c’est grave que l’école soit payante et que ça met des familles en difficulté au quotidien. Il faut donc avancer vers la gratuité. On a un premier pas qui a été fait avec la gratuité dans l’enseignement maternel dans le cadre du Pacte mais il ne faut certainement pas s’arrêter là ».Concernant la différence de prix dans les écoles
Maxime Michiels est ensuite revenu sur l’étude qui analyse quel type de famille souffre le plus de cette rentrée scolaire. « Cette étude dévoile des choses étonnantes parce qu’on aurait pu s’attendre à ce qu’il y ait un profil type de famille mise en difficulté par les frais scolaires, or ce n’est pas du tout le cas. On voit qu’il y a de très nombreuses familles avec des profils très variés : des familles nombreuses, des familles monoparentales, des personnes qui travaillent, qui ne travaillent pas, qui sont en maladie etc. On a vraiment de tout mais il y a un point commun : c’est l’école qui coûte trop cher et qui met ces familles-là en difficulté. »Et l’impact du corona ?
Pour Maxime Michiels, le coronavirus a évidemment eu un effet néfaste sur l’école. « On a vu clairement que dans la crise, on avait un problème avec l’enseignement hybride qui n’a pas permis l’apprentissage de tous les élèves. Selon une enquête que l’on a menée, il y a pour 40% des élèves plus de difficultés à apprendre. On a également beaucoup d’élèves qui ont eu des difficultés techniques (problèmes d’ordinateur etc) qui se mettaient entre eux et l’apprentissage. Donc plein d’élèves se sont retrouvés en situation de décrochage. Et on a noté aussi la situation inverse, avec des élèves surchargés de travail et qui se sont retrouvés complètement épuisés et à genou à la fin de l’année scolaire. Ces deux situations là, il faut absolument les éviter cette année. »La digitalisation, source de discrimnation
Si Maxime Michiels ne se dit pas contre l’enseignement numérique ou l’utilisation d’un ordinateur à l’école, il veut que l’on parte « de la réalité des parents ». « Cette réalité que l’on a pu voir dans le cadre de la crise était double : d’abord de nombreuses difficultés d’apprentissage pour les élèves, difficultés avec l’outil (problèmes techniques) mais aussi difficultés à prendre distance avec l’enseignant au travers d’une interface digitale. L’autre réalité est celle de l’appauvrissement à travers laquelle les parents ont dû passer pour s’équiper en matériel numérique. » La volonté de la Ligue des familles est à présent que les autorités francophones de l’enseignement subsidient un peu plus les parents d’élèves par rapport aux outils informatiques à avoir pour suivre ces cours en digitalisation. Car de plus en plus d’écoles se tournent vers ce type d’apprentissage dit numérique. « Et souvent, les écoles en profitent pour s’équiper sur le dos des parents », confie notre invité.#Ecole #discrémination #pauvreté #gratuité #apprentissage #décrochage des #élèves #appauvrissement #digitalisation #numérique #big_data #inégalités #belgique

Tatort Folge 1066: Tiere der Großstadt
▻https://tatort-fans.de/tatort-folge-1066-tiere-der-grossstadtWichtigstes Motiv ist die unsichtbare Macht, welche IT-Blackboxes denen verleihen, die sie kontrollieren. Nichts ist sichtbar, und es geschehen Dinge in der Realität, deren Ursachen hinter der Nebelwand aus Programmierung und zunächst unklaren Besitzverhältnissen verborgen bleiben. Sehr schön in diesem FIlm ist die Präsentation der verschiedenen Ermittlungszweige und Nebengeschichten, die alle Sinn ergeben, aber nichts zum Verständnis der letztlich einfachen Zusammenhänge beitragen.
Das ist ein alltägliches Phänomen, denn kaum jemand durchschaut die Mechanismen hinter technologischen und gesellschaftlichen Abläufen.
Online verfügbar bis zum 15.2.2022 unter ▻https://www.daserste.de/unterhaltung/krimi/tatort/sendung/tiere-der-grossstadt-106.html
Mit der Folge „Tiere in der Großstadt“ ist der Tatort Berlin zurück. Wildschweine, Raben und ein Fuchs tauchen darin auf – nicht etwa in der freien Natur, nein, mitten in der Großstadt gehen die Tiere auf Futtersuche. Dem Sujet der Natur steht die nie still stehende, pulsierende Metropople mit seinem voll automatisierten Kaffeekiosk „Robista“ am Kurfürstendamm gegenüber. Der innovative Automat ist der Dreh- und Angelpunkt für den ersten von zwei Todesfällen im TV-Krimi.
Die Berliner Tatort-Kommissare Nina Rubin und Robert Karow klären die Todesumstände im Fall „Tiere der Großstadt“ zusammen mit ihren Teammitgliedern Feil und Steinke am Sonntag, den 16. September 2018 ab 20.15 Uhr im Ersten Programm der ARD erstmals auf.
Inhalt der Tatort-Folge „Tiere der Großstadt“
Drei Jugendliche laufen in den frühen Morgenstunden durch das winterlich kalte Berlin. Alkoholisiert und grölend nähern sie sich dem Kaffee-Roboter „Robista“ am Ku’damm. Der Automat funktioniert ohne menschliche Unterstützung und schenkt 24 Stunden, 7 Tage die Woche Kaffee, Espresso und Cappuccino aus. Mit freundlicher Stimme und einem Lächeln auf dem Display begrüßt der Roboter seine frühmorgendlichen Besucher. Doch das Trio entdeckt zu seinem Erstaunen etwas Seltsames in der gläsernen Kabine des Kiosks: einen Toten! Der zusammengesackte Mann hat eine tiefe Stichwunde im Nacken. Anstatt umgehend die Polizei zu verständigen, wird das außergewöhnliche Motiv zunächst einmal als Selfie-Kulisse genutzt …Hauptkommissarin Nina Rubin wird von ihrem Sohn Tolja, der zur Freude seiner einsamen Mutter von Straubing wieder nach Berlin zurückgekehrt ist, am besagten Morgen zum Tatort gefahren. Sie genießt die Zeit mit ihm, hält sich gemeinsam mit ihrem Sohn fit und bemuttert ihn sorgevoll, wenn sich der Führerschein-Neuling in den Berliner Verkehr stürzt. Der Kollege Karow wartet bereits am Tatort, als Rubin am „Robista“-Kiosk eintrifft. Die vermeintliche Tatwaffe ist schnell gefunden: Eine blutverschmierte metallene Barista-Nadel steckt in ihrer Halterung. Der Personalausweis gibt die Identität des Opfers preis: Tom Menke, Jahrgang ’82.
Der zwei Meter große Roboter kommt als programmierter Täter jedoch nicht in Frage, denn ein Sicherheitssystem sorgt dafür, dass das Gerät beim Betreten des engen Glaskastens in all seinen Bewegungen blockiert wird. Da der Platz im Inneren des Kiosks begrenzt und der Zutritt ohne Weiteres nicht möglich ist, bleibt die Frage: Wo befand sich der Mörder zum Tatzeitpunkt? Da die Eingangsklappe angelehnt bleibt bei einer Kontrolle, könnte der Täter gewartet und das Opfer Menke von hinten überfallen haben. Das Material der Überwachungskameras muss erst ausgewertet werden, und so bleibt anfänglich vieles an dem Tathergang im Fall „Tiere der Großstadt“ unerklärlich. Insbesondere bleibt das Tatmotiv ein Rätsel, zumal sich die Einnahmen noch in der Kasse des Automaten befinden und das Opfer in Besitz seines Portemonnaies ist. Ein Raubmord ist damit nahezu ausgeschlossen.
Am Tatort erscheint die Frau des Toten, Kathrin Menke – die verzweifelte Frau bricht zusammen. Sie und ihr Mann betrieben den Kaffeevollautomaten. Nachdem sie den ersten Schock über den Mord an Tom verarbeitet hat, sucht sie die Kripo zuhause zur Vernehmung auf. Die Witwe wirkt einsam auf Rubin und Karow; ihr Lebensmittelpunkt ist die Züchtung wertvoller Maine-Coon-Katzen. Die Tiere liegen der Witwe jedoch so sehr am Herzen, dass sie niemals ein Tier verkaufen würde.
Während Menke kaum verwertbare Hinweise zu den Hintergründen und dem möglichen Ablauf der Tat liefern kann, erweist sich ein anderer Informant als umso wertvoller: Der 80-jährige Albert lebt alleine in einer Wohnung mit Blick auf den Tatort. Regelmäßig steht der alte Herr mit einem Fernglas am Fenster und beobachtet das geschäftige Treiben zwischen Ku’damm und Joachimsthaler Straße – so auch in der Nacht, als der Mord im Krimi „Tiere der Großstadt“ geschah. Er und Robert Karow unterhalten sich; der alleinstehende Albert genießt sichtlich die Gesellschaft des Kriminalisten. Der Rentner will gegen sechs Uhr morgens unten am „Robista“-Shop eine Männergruppe gesehen haben, die einen einzelnen, auf dem Boden sitzenden Mann umzingelte. Die Details zu den Identitäten der Männer soll die noch laufende Auswertung der Überwachungskameras geben.
Parallel zu den fieberhaft laufenden Ermittlungen im Fall „Barista-Mord“ wird eine weibliche Leiche im Berliner Grunewald entdeckt. Die Joggerin, die seit Stunden von ihrem Mann Reno vermisst wird, heißt Carolina Gröning. Die rechtsmedizinische Untersuchung durch Nasrin Reza ergibt, dass die Sportlerin in den frühen Morgenstunden von einem Wildschwein angegriffen und so stark am Oberschenkel verletzt wurde, dass sie verblutete. Der Fall wird damit als Wildunfall zu den Akten gelegt und abgehakt. Hauptkommissarin Nina Rubin bleibt allerdings skeptisch: Die Aussagen von Ehemann Reno Gröning passen nicht zu denen eines Zeugen. Die Ermittlerin wittert mehr dahinter und lässt den Fall neu aufrollen – sehr zu Karows Unmut. Schließlich drängt die Aufklärung des Mords im Kaffee-Kiosk, also warum mit einem Wildunfall aufhalten? Er scheucht lieber die Assistentin Anna Feil von A nach B und lässt sie lästige Recherchearbeiten zum Fall Menke erledigen.
Als Robert Karow jedoch im Zusammenhang mit den Grönings auf ein Tier aufmerksam wird, ist auch sein Ermittlerinstinkt geweckt …
Um den rbb-Tatort „Tier der Großstadt“ realisieren zu können, lieh sich die Produktionsfirma den Roboter GISELA für die entsprechenden „Barista“-Szenen im Januar 2018 aus. Der Erfinder des „weiblichen“ Roboters GISELA, Diplom-Ingenieur Matthias Krinke, begleitete die Dreharbeiten und stand beratend zur Seite. Krinkes Firma pi4_robotics GmbH entwickelt humanoide Roboter für nationale und internationale Kunden.
Eigentlich arbeitet die erste Roboter-Verkäuferin Deutschlands seit 2018 im „Bikini Berlin“, einem Geschäftskomplex, unweit vom Bahnhof Zoo im Stadtteil Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. Hier baut GISELA kleine Spielzeugroboter aus Pappe in wenigen Minuten für sechs Euro das Stück zusammen, die direkt an die Kunden verkauft werden. Einen Roboter, der Kaffeespezialität aufbrüht und verkauft, gibt es noch nicht auf dem Markt, wäre aber laut Krinke jederzeit umsetzbar. Alles eine Frage der Programmierung und des Budgets.
Neben den technischen Details sticht die experimentelle musikalische Untermalung des Tatort-Krimis mit der Nummer 1066 hervor: Nils Frahm schrieb die Musik zu „Tiere der Großstadt“. Frahm übernahm diese Aufgabe auf ausdrücklichen Wunsch von Regisseur Roland Suso Richter.
Die Filmarbeiten dauerten vom 16. Januar bis 13. Februar 2018 und fanden in Berlin-Kreuzberg, -Wilmersdorf, -Wedding, -Tempelhof, im gläsernen Kranzler Eck, im Monsterkabinett Berlin, im Fraunhofer Institut sowie im Ottobock Science Center der Metropole statt.

Expats make waves surfing out the pandemic on Bali - Asia Times
▻https://asiatimes.com/2021/07/expats-make-waves-surfing-out-the-pandemic-on-baliExpats make waves surfing out the pandemic on Bali
Over 100,000 foreigners mostly on visitor visas are living on the resort island despite being closed to tourism for over a year
JAKARTA – Travelling around sun-drenched southern Bali in these otherwise dark pandemic days, there are so many scantily-clad foreign motorcyclists careening in and out of traffic it is difficult to believe the holiday island has been closed to foreign tourism for the past 16 months.In fact, according to the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, more than 109,800 foreigners from 133 countries are still living in Bali, including 2,246 permanent residents, 29,070 holding temporary stay permits and a whopping 78,485 on visitor visas.Russia leads the nationality list, followed by the United States, Australia, Britain, France, Germany, Ukraine the Netherlands and Canada — far different from a normal tourism year when Australia and China contribute to a significant majority of Bali’s six million annual foreign tourists.Some of Bali’s attraction lies in the fact that the island hasn’t been hit as hard by the pandemic as neighboring Java. Even though new infections have risen over the past month from 100 to as much as 500 a day, the number of daily deaths remains in single figures, according to official data.That may be partly because the island has the highest rate of Covid-19 vaccinations in Indonesia – a deliberate government strategy aimed at trying to include Bali in international travel bubbles. About 70% of a targeted three million people have already received at least one jab.
The latest surge, however, has prompted the local government to close beaches and restaurants, and do its best to reduce mobility, measures that have produced only mixed results on an island where the motorcycle is king.Daily religious ceremonies are ongoing, though supposedly confined to 50 people, and persuading tourists to wear masks and maintain other health protocols is proving difficult to enforce, with the 12,000 stay-behind Australians losing their bad behavior reputation to the Russians.More than 111,000 Russians visited Bali in 2019 looking for relief from their harsh winter. While it is not clear how many remain, police are finding they are the most troublesome to control on a range of levels.Over half of the 157 foreigners who ran afoul of the law last year held Russian citizenship, according to police data. Among the 59 to be deported were two yoga instructors, who had held a mass yoga session in the hill resort town of Ubud.That trend has continued this year. Authorities took a dim view of a young Russian so-called “influencer” after he posted a video on his website showing him jumping off a pier on a motorcycle, a bikini-clad girl clinging on behind him.Another Russian influencer, Leia Se, was deported in May after posting video footage of herself wearing a painted surgical mask to dupe store guards after she and a friend were earlier refused entry because Se was unmasked.
Among others to be given their marching orders last year were two American women who tweeted about Bali being a cheap LGBTQ-friendly destination. Their crime, according to immigration officials, was “spreading information that could unsettle the public.”Most of those who have been deported were accused of disrupting public order, overstaying their visas and misusing stay permits, including providing false information on their visa applications. Once the center of an industry that in 2019 earned the island US$8 billion in foreign exchange, Kuta is now largely deserted, losing its title to Seminyak and Canggu as the most popular hang-outs for young foreigners along the west coast tourist strip.
When tourism returns, that’s where the action will be. But plans to re-open the island at the end of this month have died with the worst eruption in new Covid-19 infections since March last year, when the government first shut the door on the island.Thousands of foreigners were stranded last year, but while many trickled back to their home countries on infrequent international flights, others elected to stay, facilitated by sympathetic authorities who no doubt saw it as a small way to help keep the economy ticking over. Those that are left are a mixed batch. Apart from a small minority of long-term residents and refugee families from Covid-hit Jakarta, they may be living off trust funds and wealthy parents, struggling to make ends meet as small-scale business people or fall into the category of “digital nomads”, a whole new class of tourist involved in everything from bitcoin trading to art therapy and online hypnotism.Bali is already a world-leading destination for digital nomads, second only to Barcelona in one survey. Regional competition comes from places like Phuket and Chiang Mai in Thailand, and Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, where one of the prerequisites is always a fast internet. A beach helps, too.Tourism Minister Sandiaga Uno, a former vice-presidential candidate who moved his office to Bali to oversee the island’s revival, wants to eventually attract more of the nomads with a new long-term visa that would allow foreign tourists to stay for up to five years.
(...)The minister has already invited people from across Indonesia to work and study in Bali. Among those who have already moved there are several Jakarta-based foreign businessmen, lured by the prospect of their children being able to attend international schools, rather than learn remotely as they have done for a year now.#Covid-19#migrant#migration#indonesie#france#russie#etatsunis#sante#bali#digitalnomades#expatries#etranger#australie#grandebretagne#allemagne#ukraine#hollande#Canada#economie#tourisme

Work is where your laptop is: meet the globetrotting digital nomads | Work & careers | The Guardian
▻http://www.theguardian.com/money/2021/may/30/work-is-where-your-laptop-is-meet-the-globetrotting-digital-nomads
▻https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/76add6d6a1317fc4d03b419b432bfe198a6f63ff/803_299_1929_1159/master/1929.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&overlay-aliWork is where your laptop is: meet the globetrotting digital nomads. Worldwide shift to flexible and home working in pandemic has led to rise of new kind of backpacker. Samantha Scott does not miss her daily commutes in London, particularly “the dread of having to wake up and get on the tube, and heading into work sweaty and flustered. I’m still waking up at 6 or 7am, but I’m able to go for a walk on the beach before I start work.”When she and her partner Chris Cerra arrive with their luggage in a new city, they can easily be mistaken for tourists. But they are part of a new generation of “digital nomads” who hop from country to country to live and work.
The global shift to flexible working triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic means more people are considering ditching their long-term homes to flit around the world, working from their laptops, tablets or smartphones.
Last week, a report from Airbnb entitled Travel & Living showed that 11% of the company’s long-term stay bookers in 2021 have reported living a nomadic lifestyle, and 5% plan to give up their main homes. Delia Colantuono, a 31-year-old freelance translator from Rome, became a digital nomad five years ago when it was not a “big thing”. She has now lived on all five continents and says the nomadic lifestyle is “not just for rich people – it’s for anyone who can work remotely and wants to do it”. (...)
They realised during the pandemic that they could keep in touch with their grown kids remotely “and feel close even when we aren’t physically close”.
Melton left his sales job and the couple now run an accounting business remotely together that Kaye has set up. “We work all day and go on adventures all weekend,” she says. Kaye reckons the couple save 70% by living on the road, and wants to be debt free within five years – and buy a property somewhere eventually. Colantuono and others are aware of the environmental impact of their jetsetter lifestyle, and want to settle down eventually. Several people, writing on a Facebook digital nomads forum with 15,500 members, say age is not a barrier but stress the importance of being fit and healthy; and one says a drawback of this lifestyle might be a sense of rootlessness. There do not appear to be many digital nomad families with children; traditionally, only a few families – who usually home-school – have travelled the globe. Erin Elizabeth Wells, a 41-year-old productivity consultant from Massachusetts, started travelling around the US with her husband and daughter Eleanor, who is nearly four now, in October 2018, and says they are a “world schooling family”. Travelling with family means they travel slowly, but that means they make friends everywhere they visit, she adds. They are living in Airbnbs or other full-furnished rentals and “plan to continue indefinitely until there’s some reason our family needs something else”. As parts of the world gradually reopen after Covid restrictions, growing numbers of people are enjoying new flexibility to work from anywhere. Last year, nearly one in five Airbnb guests used the site to travel and work remotely; and this year 74% of people across its five-country survey have expressed an interest in living somewhere other than where their employer is based. Brian Chesky, the Airbnb chief executive, said: “The boundaries between travel, life and work are blurring.” Cerra says: “For a long time, this kind of lifestyle was considered really, really out there, quite off the beaten track. What we’re seeing is that everything is trending towards this being a bit more normal now, more accepted.”#Covid-19#migration#migrant#sante#digitalnomad#frontiere#circulation#economie#famille#modedevie#restrictionsanitaire

Tourism-starved Bali seeks a balance as foreigners skirt its Covid-19 rules | South China Morning Post
▻https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3135047/tourism-starved-bali-seeks-balance-foreigners-skirtTourism-starved Bali seeks a balance as foreigners skirt its Covid-19 rules
In nightclubs on the south coast – a popular destination for surfers and digital nomads embracing the “hustle culture” of working anywhere, anytime – women in glitzy costumes dance to loud music and partygoers drink the nights away with both friends and strangers. Mask wearing and social distancing are not enforced at these venues, though they do check the temperatures of patrons and provide hand sanitiser. There is just one rule: phones must be surrendered on entry so that no photos of this pre-Covid lifestyle find their way to social mediaIn Ubud recently, police were stopping motorcyclists not wearing face masks – but not those without helmets. Meanwhile, recently introduced regulations mean foreigners – an estimated 30,000 have remained in Bali during the pandemic – can be fined 1 million rupiah (US$70) if they are caught not wearing a face mask in public, while locals have to pay just 100,000 rupiah.Dewa Nyoman Rai Darmadi, head of Bali’s Public Order Enforcers authority, said nearly 500 foreigners and about 20,000 locals had been fined for the violation.
Many shops around Bali have put up signs saying “no mask, no service”, though it is still common to see maskless tourists being served.
These two sides of Bali underscore the struggles it has faced as border closures due to Covid-19 have decimated its tourism-dependent economy. Leisure operators on the island are trying to give the remaining foreigners and domestic tourists the sense they are on holiday, even as the pandemic continues to rage across Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s worst hit country with 1.79 million cases. Bali itself has recorded more than 47,000 cases, and over 1,200 virus-linked deaths, including a patient that contracted a variant first discovered in South Africa. Tourism made up 53 per cent of Bali’s economy and employed around a million workers before the pandemic. But last year, only around a million international tourists visited the island, a decline of 83 per cent from 2019. As a result, Bali’s economy contracted 12 per cent in 2020 year on year, and nine per cent in the first quarter of this year.
For officials, enforcing coronavirus curbs for the foreigners who have remained in Bali is challenging, said Putu Aswata, head of the Bali Tourism Agency. “There is a tendency for foreigners, particularly around the Canggu area, to skirt the [Covid-19 health protocols]. We often carry out operations to maintain the order there, and sometimes we deport foreigners who do not follow the rules,” Putu said. According to Jamaruli Manihuruk, head of the regional office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in Bali, 198 foreigners have been deported since the beginning of the pandemic. Some of those people had violated visa rules. But in one notorious case, the Russian social media influencer Leia Se was deported after painting a coronavirus mask onto her face after she was refused entry into a supermarket on the grounds she was maskless. Dewa of the Public Order Enforcers added: “If the same foreigners are caught twice violating the Covid-19 rules, we will recommend the immigration agency deport them.”
Asked about night clubs and venues that were still crowded by revellers around the south Bali area, Dewa said that “the places might look crowded, but they do not exceed the 50 per cent of total capacity regulation”. He said that at present “the financial situation of the majority of the public also prohibits them” from going out like they used to before the pandemic.
“For us it’s not really a problem if visitors dance inside without wearing masks, because when they come to Bali they have been screened according to the applicable [law]. So Bali’s economy can run, while at the same time health protocols are still being heeded. We need to balance things out.”
How a US woman’s tweet showed what Bali really thinks of Western tourists
26 Jan 2021. One development of the Covid era is that Russians – thanks to Leia Se and others like her – have become the butt of many jokes. A recent comedy show in Canggu went to town on the series of deportation orders that have hit Russian influencers caught not following the rules, with six out of seven comics poking fun at Russians with jokes about gold-digging women and men who treat their hangovers with vodka. In December, two Russian influencers rode their motorcycle into the waters of the scuba diving-haven of Nusa Penida. They were deported the next month. In April, a viral video showed two Russian tourists performing a lewd act on the sacred Mount Batur. Local authorities are still hunting the pair, who are believed to have returned to Russia.
Bali’s governor Wayan Koster has set a target of inoculating 2.8 million residents by June 30 to allow the island to reopen to foreign tourists in July. As of May 23, nearly 1.4 million Balinese had been inoculated with a first dose of either the Sinovac or AstraZeneca vaccine, according to Putu.
The foreigners who have remained in Bali during the pandemic on temporary stay permits are also eligible for the public inoculation programme. On a recent morning, both locals and foreigners flocked to a vaccination centre in Canggu to get the first dose of the AstraZeneca jab.
Jakarta is also trying to help Bali’s pandemic-hit economy with initiatives that include sending up to 8,000 civil servants to work from Bali and creating a new type of visa for digital nomads.
“Since Bali’s tourism sector holds a strategic role in supporting the national economy, I think it’s fair that the central government pays attention to it through Work from Bali. This shows that the government cares about tourism workers in Bali,” Putu said. The past year had been tough for tourism workers in Bali, Putu said, so now the island hoped the trend of remote working would buoy the economy, at least until international borders reopened. “In normal situations we welcome around 16 million tourists every year. That is a really difficult target now since many planes are still grounded and borders remain closed,” he said.“The staycation tourists will be significant for us, as we are hoping to attract domestic travellers who typically spend their money overseas.”#Covid-19#migrant#migration#bali#indonesie#russie#sante#economie#tourisme#digitalnomad#restrictionsanitaire#frontiere#circulation
