My day in brief:
9-12: Lead religious service, sermon, after-service chat
12-1: Car starts shaking violently around highway speed. Take it to one garage to find out my dealership rotated the tires, but didn’t rebalance them.
1-3: wait
3pm: they send me off with rebalanced fronts
3:05pm: you’ll never guess what the rears are doing
3:30pm: get to second garage
3:30-6: wait
6pm: continue original 2.5hr journey
6:05pm: goddammit
7pm: return home, slowly
8pm: order 4 new tires

#ChatControl must never come back. 💪

❌ Breaks encryption
❌ Destroys privacy

This would make free discussion online impossible, create a backdoor for abusers and authoritarian regimes, and endanger journalists & activists.

Privacy is not a crime. #StopChatControl

Chat Control is being discussed by EU Member States. Will this law pass & destroy your privacy?

As we speak, the EU is debating a law called "Chat Control". For now, the vote on Chat Control has been postponed, but should this law pass - what would it mean for your security and privacy? At first glance, it's about combating child abuse on the …

The App Store Was Always Authoritarian infrequently.org/2025/10/the-a… - "Apple is loaning its monopoly on iOS software to yet another authoritarian regime without a fight, painting a stark contrast: when profits are on the line, Cupertino will gaslight democratic regulators and defy pro-user laws with all the $1600/hr lawyers Harvard can graduate" says Big Al, absolutely correctly and with fancier words and less swearing than I would use to make the same points.

The App Store Was Always Authoritarian

Apple bent the knee for months, leaving many commentators to ask why. But the reasons are not mysterious: Apple wants things that only the government can provide, things that will defend and extend its power to extract rents, rather than innovate.

mr @joshbressers talked to Joshua about his work on using AI to find flaws on his latest episode: opensourcesecurity.io/2025/202…

Actually finding vulnerabilities using AI with Joshua Rogers

I chat with Joshua Rogers about a blog post he wrote as well as some bugs he submitted to the curl project. Joshua explains how he went searching for some AI tools to help find security bugs, and found out they can work, if you’re a competent human.

Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again. - Ronald Reagan, Jan 5, 1967.

Sci-fi koncept warp pohonu z Star Treku se díky fyzikům přibližuje realitě každým dnem

Před téměř 60 lety zažehl původní seriál Star Trek sen ve veřejné představivosti: že jednoho dne budou lidé cestovat galaxií v lodích poháněných nadsvětelnými „warp pohony".

Okay, so not even done reading this, and I guess I'm a bit behind. ISTR reading you venting about the endless AI generated reports that went absolutely nowhere. I guess they finally started hitting paydirt.

I do _not_ pay good attention to my social media timeline. So, I am sure you posted this before and I totally did not see it.

From Facebook. The 15 Shouldn’ts of Friendship. You shouldn’t have to tiptoe. You shouldn’t have to quiet yourself. You shouldn’t have to hide. You shouldn’t have to dumb down your excitement, your passions or your successes. You shouldn’t have to endlessly work to prove your worth. You shouldn’t have to wonder and guess and make assumptions as to why they’re mad at you. You shouldn’t have to clean up their side of the street. You shouldn’t be made to feel like you’re disposable. You shouldn’t be held accountable for your reactions while they refuse to be accountable for theirs. You shouldn’t be made to feel like the bad guy because you finally walked away after being pushed out. You shouldn’t be the only one trying to fix things, working to communicate well, showing up, doing favors, reaching out or giving grace. You shouldn’t carry the weight of the friendship alone. You shouldn’t feel like you need to be anyone other than your full self. You shouldn’t feel bad about yourself when you’re around them. You shouldn’t give up on yourself, you’re worthy of good and healthy friendships.

Ich habe einen #Bot geschrieben, der jeden Sonntag ein zufällig ausgewähltes Muster der Mustersprache des #Commoning teilt: @mustersprache_bot

In der Sphäre der gemeinsamen Nutzung von Dingen und der von Freiwilligkeit geprägten gegenseitigen Hilfe tauchen immer wieder dieselben Herausforderungen auf. Diese Herausforderungen werden von den Commoning-Mustern adressiert. Dabei wurden die enthaltenen Lösungen nicht 'erfunden', sondern 'gefunden': Sie beschreiben die Essenz von gelingenden Lösungen, mit denen diese Herausforderung von den daran Beteiligten angegangen wurden.

Die 33 Muster sind das politische Vermächtnis der 2021 verunglückten Commons-Forscherin Silke #Helfrich. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn sich hier ein paar Menschen finden, die diese Muster gelegentlich teilen, damit die darin enthaltene Erfahrung im #Fediverse Verbreitung findet. Dankeschön! 🙏
