Dear #Fediverse

We need #Volunteers to organize an #Event and #Training for #EU representatives operating the official @EU_Commission accounts.

A month ago the @EDPS started a pilot for #EUVoice and #EUVideo and launched #Mastodon and #Peertube servers.

Many of you interacted, but also observed that communication can be improved. Less :birdsite: birdsite crossposting, more #accessibilty + image #captions. Knowing the culture, #fediquette and learn to love 💖 our fedi.

#Russia keeps ignoring ‘the rules of war’ (as dumb as they are)

Protecting people fleeing the war in Ukraine is at the core of the EU's Temporary Protection Directive.

It ensures that those under its scope can access their right to immediate social and medical care.

#StandWithUkraine

@Planetjunkie@mstdn.social Definitely GNU + Linux and CalyxOS. I also have to say that most of the FLOSS project that I use are much better than the proprietary ones. Go libre!

LGBT rights, Poland, please boost 

(Reposted from Birdside, thread)

Today, the Polish parliament will read a proposed law that makes it illegal to "promote homosexuality", including - I am not exaggerating - pretty much ANY positive talk of LGBT+ people and their rights in public settings.

And foreign media seem almost entirely silent on this.

The law was drafted a while ago, but didn't get into the Parliament for procedural reasons.

It EXPLICITLY bans e.g.:

LGBT rights, Poland, please boost

After reading the comments I'll just leave some food for though for you:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Today we're launching the Tor Project's annual fundraising campaign.

The message is simple: privacy is a human right, and Tor helps millions of people around the world exercise that right.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your ongoing support makes Tor possible: donate.torproject.org

Usually the text description of the issue is enough. Only in rare cases with more complicated problems it's a good idea to schedule a meeting to clarify and discuss it, but only as a second step. Otherwise we are just wasting each others time

Privacy is a team sport. That's why we put together a free resource to help make it easier to become a digital security educator. sec.eff.org/

If you use #GMail, #Google keeps records of everything you buy, even if you delete the email receipt, and even if you didn't buy the product from them. Here's metadata from my takeout showing price, delivery address, description, vendor, etc. #privacy

But be careful to not go even further as you might end up with the Scientology folks 😂

On a serious note, I really love a good library, especially ones with the open access, so you can just wander and explore new, random and interesting topics

@kate Might I suggest you make a browser as great as Firefox, keep up with the updates, security issues and new features without *any* sponsoring like this for at least a few years before criticizing their approach?

It's easy to blame others without stepping in their shoes.

@freemo
I've just checked it out and it looks pretty cool. Are you planning on doing a mini-review?
