Waldemar Hartmann reported that Gordon Schnieder (CDU), the Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate, was a guest on the ARD program "Report from Berlin" after a meeting of his party's executive board. Hartmann had hoped for new insights but, in his assessment, heard the same statements as for months: People need to be taken along and their concerns taken seriously. In addition, Schnieder ruled out collaboration with the AfD. Hartmann criticized that the CDU had understood nothing and predicted it would soon be in single digits. The "death knell" is already ringing, he wrote. #CDU #RheinlandPfalz #Politik (translated)

Maxim Röder wrote that he sees no long-term reasons for concern about ServiceNow and has already explained his assessment in detail this year. Corporations do not only buy software, but also certifications, liability, support guarantees, audit trails, and a data model that has received millions of customizations over the years. Therefore, the switching barrier is very high. According to Röder, a clone created with Vibe Coding does not offer these safeguards. In case of errors in productive operation, the liability question arises, and no CIO will risk their neck for that. Additionally, large corporations have different approval processes, security standards, and regulatory requirements than small companies. According to Röder, ServiceNow positions itself as a deeply integrated platform that connects various AI models and data sources and orchestrates processes in companies securely. For investors, the question is not whether AI scripts will replace enterprise software, but how quickly and effectively ServiceNow will monetize new AI licenses. #Software #KI #ServiceNow (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that he had received death threats and had been confronted with defamatory articles, insinuations, and personal attacks. This does not leave him unaffected, he explained; public figures also have feelings and a personal environment. Ostermann warned that intimidation must not become a political or social means, as threats could otherwise impair freedom of expression and thus freedom itself. Messages and conversations from supporters, according to him, encouraged him to continue. He wrote that he would continue to advocate for his beliefs and not compromise his values. #Freiheit #Zivilcourage #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)
