A bold, united front — with absolute clarity about what’s at stake for the future of journalism — is needed to confront the threat posed by the efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute Julian Assange.

Interessante: la lobby USA del cloud si muove per attaccare la certificazione di sicurezza #ENISA che mira a sostenere un #cloud europeo sovrano, mitigando le interferenze delle giurisdizioni straniere sui dati degli Europei. L'appello dell'industria americana ci fa intendere che ENISA sta facendo bene https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-chamber-commerce-warns-against-draft-eu-plan-exclude-non-eu-cloud-vendors-2022-12-01/

"La Russia è uno stato terrorista" sembra una bella dichiarazione finché non realizzi che per coerenza devi ammettere che anche il tuo stato è terrorista visto il sangue versato in Iraq e Afghanistan, e quindi sei terrorista anche tu. Poi capisci che ogni guerra è terrorismo legalizzato, e che le guerre non le fanno gli stati, ma i governi e gli eserciti, arrivando alla conclusione che l'imperialismo russo, come quello atlantico, esprime da decenni governi responsabili di guerre terroriste.
Not a surprise, but still disappointing. Canada makes copyright term extension official. Term extended to life + 70 years as of December 30th.
New works entering the public domain lost for a generation.

“[N]etwork effects cut both ways. If a system gets more valuable as it attracts more users, it also gets less valuable as it sheds users. The less valuable a system is to you, the easier it is to leave.”

There's an ugly storm brewing in EU software security legislation that could seriously impact open source software development. Those of you in the EU should read this article and do some lobbying. The goals of the legislation aren't unreasonable, but the conformance-testing burden would totally overwhelm the OSS community. The legislators need to rethink how they approach the burden and responsibility of auditing. https://blog.nlnetlabs.nl/open-source-software-vs-the-cyber-resilience-act/
Mastodon has more than seven thousands Instances, each with its own personal rules that must be evaluated one by one.
But in fact there are not more than seven thousand different regulations: many are identical to each other or differ only in a few points.
I think users, moderators, and admins would find it very convenient if Instances could choose to adopt some basic set of common regulations: something like GPL or Creative Commons licenses.
If you see that Instance X has adopted the Type "A" License you already know what it is without having to read the various points and so on.
And if Istance Y has adopted the same license but added few points, you need to read only those.

Ecco come il governo francese risponde a un'interrogazione parlamentare che chiedeva se l'offerta gratuita di Microsoft Office 365 non fosse una forma di dumping e di soggezione a una legge extraterritorlale USA, oltre tutto lesiva delle norme europee sulla privacy: https://questions.assemblee-nationale.fr/q16/16-971QE.htm
La Francia rispetta #SchremsII e chiede che le soluzioni cloud siano offerte da aziende soggette esclusivamente alla legislazione comunitaria: dunque in generale non Microsoft né Google. #souveraineténumérique (no, non si traduce in italiano)
📜 "We demand a world in which technology is created to protect and empower those who are impacted by it. Our technology must respect the rights and freedoms of those users. We need to take control for the purpose of collectively building a better world in which technology works in service to the good of human kind, protecting our rights and digital autonomy as individuals."

Pfizer and Moderna are withholding vaccine samples that researchers need to develop new and better COVID-19 vaccines, including ones that might block transmission. The U.S. government has known this for months, but done almost nothing publicly about it.

È online la traduzione italiana del Manifesto di #Framasoft: https://framasoft.org/it/manifest È un testo "politico" che mi è piaciuto molto e di cui condivido i contenuti. Secondo me, vale la pena di diffonderlo anche in Italia.
