📰 "For years, the EU has taken a leading role in creating standards that protect our rights online. But the winds have now shifted. […] A corporate-backed wave of weakening digital rules is underway that threatens all of our rights - on and offline."

Nom esperes nada dos governos nem da UE. Construi com autonomia aquilo que estiver na tua mão e associa-te com projetos da mesma filosofia. A UE tá quase vendida aos MAGAM e esperar a menor cousa dela é tempo perdido.
Se algumha vez se lograr algo sequer remotamente próximo da soberania ideal, será apesar deles e nom graças a eles. Vistos os vistos, sociedade civil e iniciativa privada ou particular devem ir por diante.

The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.

No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.

My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.

Yours shouldn't either.

Na casa usamos de hai muitos anos 'cascar' pro que outros dizem o #anglicismo #barbarismo *crashar

i. e. finalizar 1 sessom dum programa ou do sistema operativo abruptamente, frequentemente sem salvar todos os trabalhos abertos

Tamém usamos para significar quando um computador morreu, estragou-se sem arranjo possível: cascou.

Do latim vulgar quassicare, sacudir violentamente, similar ao crash inglês

DRAE =mente recolhe este verbo com múltiples usos .es

“Silicon Valley isn’t building apps anymore. It’s building empires. Under the banner of "patriotic tech", this new bloc is building the infrastructure of control—clouds, AI, finance, drones, satellites—an integrated system we call the Authoritarian Stack. (…) these firms now operate as state-like powers—writing the rules, winning the tenders, and exporting their model to Europe, where it poses a direct challenge to democratic governance.”

Starting 12 Nov 2025, #RyanAir passengers must use its proprietary "myRyanair" app to check in for flights and obtain boarding passes. *No* printed boarding passes allowed!

https://corporate.ryanair.com/news/ryanair-issues-reminder-to-passengers-ahead-of-move-to-100-digital-boarding-passes-from-wednesday-12-nov/

I wonder which stage Ryanair is in in the #enshittification process described by @pluralistic?

I dread the day when *all* airlines do this... (or buses, or trains, or...)

Brilliant new ad campaign I just spotted at the Southwark tube station in London.
