Los representantes de España han sido de los más radicales en su postura contra la privacidad.

A pesar de que esta medida propia de regímenes dictatoriales ha sido bloqueada varias veces, la insistencia en colarla , pese a su impopularidad, es alarmante. ⚠️

#ChatControl

Sigue...

Sto pensando di fare un sito per la #FestaDeiPopoli con features tipo "Il tuo browser non è aggiornato! Ma avrai i tuoi buoni motivi per non aggiornarlo, quindi abbiamo fatto di tutto perché tu possa visitare questo sito" (con un degrade gracefully) e "Non hai installato un adblock! Male! Ricordati di installarlo" e cose simili.

🇬🇧🚨#ChatControl is back on the agenda: As soon as next Wednesday representatives of EU governments will resume work based on a secret document. https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/documents-publications/public-register/public-register-search/?DocumentNumber=12319%2F24

This is what you can do now to help: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/take-action-to-stop-chat-control-now/

ChatControl torna all'ordine del giorno: mercoledì prossimo i rappresentanti dei governi dell'UE riprenderanno a lavorare sulla base di un documento segreto

*German climate activists stop air traffic after breaking into four airport sites.* These protests may be dangerous, but not as dangerous as the failure to curb global heating. Is it stupid to try this method when gentler ones don't serve?

One of the many infortunate consequences of the success of GitHub is that lots of developers are now convinced that development has to be a public, social activity.

You do not have to release everything you build. You do not have to accept patches. You do not have to answer to emails or to issues. You do not have to fix bugs or implement features. You do not even have to continue working on your projects.

If any aspect of your public work stresses you, remember that.

“MacBooks turned out to be the perfect target for the attack, because it works best when you have a very reflective surface to use as the laser target – and the Apple logo on the back of a MacBook screen has an almost mirror-like finish.”

People who plaster their MacBooks with stickers have deployed physical firewalls 👌

Schedatura di massa, sorveglianza algoritmica e discriminazioni in Francia. Persone con precedenti di attivismo politico si sono viste negare l'autorizzazione a lavorare per le Olimpiadi. Da @LaQuadrature www.laquadrature.net/2024/07/30/jeux-olympiques-fichage-de-masse-et-discrimination-politique/

Quoting directly from the GPL: `The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.`

If a project is so difficult to build, package or redistribute that the only practical way is to use docker then this is hardly #FOSS.

Please boost for visibility if you don't mind.
