This is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.

If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

The dark defaults of #Microsoft #Edge https://thomask.sdf.org/blog/2023/03/18/the-dark-defaults-of-microsoft-edge.html

"Edge has some very user-hostile defaults [...]"

"Did you know that out-of-the-box, Edge will transmit the content of your text boxes on web pages to the Microsoft Editor service for the purpose of grammatical suggestions?"

I disagree on his judgement on using Edge in the first place. I'd always recommend #Firefox as it's the last more or less free browser that defends against #Google #Chrome monopoly.

News flash: If you criminalize providing gender affirming care for trans youth, you're not the party of "limited government." You're the party of social control. And cruelty.

💥 Über 200 Klimastreiks werden schon für Freitag organisiert und täglich kommen weitere dazu. Einen Streik in eurer Nähe findet ihr hier: https://fridaysforfuture.de/globaler-klimastreik/

When looking at the public discourse about #climatechange , I can see 3 major strands (with some overlap):
🙈Denial (climate change doesn’t exist)
🙉Supression (there’s nothing we can do about it)
😱Despair (everything is ruined)

We need a fourth option that encompasses:
🌡accepting it as reality
✊realizing we can still do something about it and
🌳purposefully working towards a liveable future (which will by no means be perfect or free of trauma!)

That’s what #solarpunk is for me!

I wrote a second blog post regarding the impact of Europe's Cyber Resilience Act. This one focuses on the unintended consequences of legislating product liability on the open source community, breaking the social contract that FLOSS is freely provided but without warranty or liability.

UPDATE:

Pläne für deutsche #LNG-Terminals sind nicht nur massiv überdimensioniert sondern stehen auch im Widerspruch zum 🇩🇪 Klimaschutzgesetz (KSG) - das zeigt der neue Annex zu der von New Climate Institute kürzlich veröffentlichen Studie.https://newclimate.org/resources/publications/plane-fur-deutsche-flussigerdgas-terminals-sind-massiv-uberdimensioniert

Der Autoverkehr nimmt ab, der Anteil des ÖPVN zu. Im Vergleich zu 2001 gibt es rund 25 % weniger Fahrten mit dem Auto innerhalb des urbanen Paris und 90’000 weniger Autos im Fuhrpark der Pariser Bürger. Das Leben ohne Auto kommt in Mode. 💚 #Verkehrswende https://derklimablog.de/mobilitaet/wo-ein-wille-ist-muss-der-weg-schoen-sein-paris-wird-gruen/
