It is not a question of “what happens if face surveillance is used against you?” It is a question of how many times law enforcement has already done so. eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/face

你們終於看到網際網路平台帝國的存在,你們終於體會到虛擬網路世界的專制獨裁的統治手段,你們終於嘗到矽谷共產不共享黨科技大鱷們聯手作惡的威力。美國總統川普在網路世界裡,也只不過是個網民,真正握有實權統治網路世界的,是那些軟體與網路平台的擁有者......。

這篇是2018對於多年來來自軟體、網路公司所帶來威脅的有感而發;網民與軟體使用者們不定出律法,去監督制衡管理他們的數位帝國,他們的數位帝國就會制定出像共產黨那樣獨裁專橫的「法律」,為所欲為任意妄為的統治所有的網民與軟體使用者。

#postmarketOS will now use eg25-manager for managing the #pinephone modem in userspace.

What does this mean for users? A much more stable modem when resuming from suspend!

Thanks to @awai for creating eg25-manager!

(More info about why eg25-manager is a good thing: forum.pine64.org/showthread.ph )

After hearing what happened to Thomas, the developer of #Fedilab app, we are compelled to #unfederate from the instances that bullied him, for one year.

Thomas if you are out there feel free to tell us which admins allowed the abuse.

Thanks for your great efforts. Take as long as you need, we really do appreicate all you've done.

@viv Well I kinda agree here but not entierly.

Disclaimer

Do not take the below as me claiming that free speech is necessary or evil not to uphold. I think there is a great deal of value in tolerance and inclusivity and ejecting abusive elements from a personal space is a perfectly legitimate thing to do. My following statements are of a technical nature on the meaning of free speech as a term and how I interpret your usage in this post.

Meaning of Free Speech

For the nth fucking time. Free speech doesn’t mean you can say whatever shit you want … It just means that the state can’t take legal action against you.

Free speech is a principle (which can be encoded into law or a personal policy or even the rule of an organization) whereby people are protected to hold any opinion they wish without punitive repercussions. It does not carry over to calls to action, harassment, or similar destructive behavior.

Free speech doesn’t mean you can say whatever shit you want and I have to … give you an avenue to do so.

Presuming the things being spoken here are a reference to opinions, and not a call to action then as such this would mean, presuming you run an instance, that your server or instance does not employ free-speech principles. That would be true even if you operate out of a country that has free speech laws.

Free speech laws protect you from punitive actions from your government with regard to your opinions. Likewise a free speech instance would protect you from punitive action from your instance for your opinions.

If I run a coffee shop and you come there and say “murder all the xyz”, I can very well ask you to leave

This would not be considered an opinion but rather a call to action. Presuming there is some potential for people to follow this call to action it would not be covered by either legal free speech or a personal policy of free speech.

However if someone said “We would be better off if xyz were all dead” then that would not be a call to action. It would be legally protected in a free speech legal system but likewise if your coffee shop employed free-speech policy it too would be permitted in your coffee shop. If you kicked someone out on those grounds it would be well within your legal rights in a free speech state, but it would mean that you personally are not supporting free speech as a principle.

because that’s not suppressing your free speech.

You would be suppressing free speech, but you are legally permitted to suppress free speech in private spaces. Therefore you would not be violating free speech laws despite the fact that you would be suppressing free speech

Those who don’t get it can keep screaming into the void.

I do agree with the fact that a lot of people don’t get or understand the nuance here. Many people think that you must enforce free speech in your cafe as a legal right, and you are correct that you are free to suppress free speech. However I think many people who object dont do so because they feel you would be in legal violation but rather because free speech as a principle is the morally right thing to do and by not upholding free speech principles in your cafe you would be in moral, not legal, violation of ones perceived sense of right and wrong.

Just came across about #Fedilab issue from Tom. It's really sad to hear, how the community react to developers who spent countless hours for making users life easier and in return they get that kind of insults and threats. Unacceptable and not appreciated at all.

I have my sincere wishes with Tom for whatever he undertake and hope he find something useful, where at least there is respect.

Thanks again for the great work.
