Destroying Autocracy – 27 March 2025

Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.

It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.

DA comes out on Thursday and is updated through the end of day on Friday. Then we start over. So take your time in perusing it and check back in over the weekend.

FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.

Featured Item

The Register reports:

EU OS is a proposal for an immutable KDE-based Linux distribution with a Windows-like desktop, designed for use in European public-sector organizations.

Rather than a new distro, it’s a website that documents planning such a thing, what functions the OS might need, how to deploy and manage it, and how to handle users.

EU OS drafts a locked-down Linux blueprint for Eurocrats

This needs to be implemented quickly and then exported to non-EU, non-fascist states as well.

Thank you to everyone in Minnesota who yesterday came to support Ukraine, stand up for American values, and defend democracy. I was really moved by how many people showed up (despite the nasty weather), the support, and the creativity of the posters (pooping dog made my day 🐶).
You’re all amazing. Proud to be a Minnesotan 💙

»Steuerliche Absetzbarkeit von Spenden an Spendenplattform der ukrainischen Regierung vom 01.03.2025

Text der Petition

Mit der Petition wird gefordert, dass Spenden an die offizielle Spendenplattform der ukrainischen Regierung bis zum Ende des Krieges steuerlich absetzbar sind.

Begründung

Am 5. Mai 2022 hat die ukrainische Regierung die Spendenplattform „United24“ ins Leben gerufen, um Privatpersonen, NGOs und anderen Unterstützern eine unkomplizierte Möglichkeit zur direkten finanziellen Hilfe für die Ukraine zu bieten. Über die Plattform wurden bereits mehr als 1,4 Milliarden US-Dollar gesammelt, die für die Verteidigung, humanitäre Hilfe und den Wiederaufbau des Landes genutzt werden.

Angesichts der aktuellen weltpolitischen Lage ist auch die private Unterstützung für die Ukraine wichtiger denn je. In Deutschland sind Spenden jedoch nur dann steuerlich absetzbar, wenn sie an europäische gemeinnützige Organisationen gehen. Dies erschwert eine direkte finanzielle Hilfe für die Ukraine – insbesondere für die Landesverteidigung.

Wir fordern hier eine unbürokratische Lösung, die es ermöglicht, direkte Spenden an die Ukraine für die Dauer des Krieges steuerlich geltend zu machen.«

Bitte mitzeichnen und teilen! Danke.
