Ik kan gewoon niet meer - net gehoord dat een van de allergrootste verwerkers van privégegevens binnen de Nederlandse overheid druk bezig is met zijn totale migratie naar Microsoft Azure. En de mensen die het tegen zouden kunnen houden worden buitengesloten & hebben het opgegeven. Stukje: berthub.eu/articles/posts/nee-…

Alternativy nejsou nic moc, ale je fajn vědět, po čem v případě nouze sáhnout. Snad to nebude zapotřebí někdy velmi brzy. european-alternatives.eu/alter… #links

@sesivany Ty služby, kam jsi přešel, asi mají hromadu věcí někde na AWS, což? 😅

Je to vznešená snaha, ale ten ekosystém je složitý a (pouze) osobní zodpovědností to vyřešit nejde. Když hovno bouchne do větráku, budeš nejspíš stejně nahraný, jako všichni ostatní.

Možná budeš aspoň na ty alternativy zvyklejší a zatímco my budem prskat nad „tím strašným UI”, ty už budeš mít vychozené klávesové zkratky. Ale to je asi jako mít při přípravě na atomovku schované oproti ostatním pět konzerv fazolí navíc. Lepší než nic, ale má to nakonec vlastně reálný efekt?

no, nemají. To jsem si vyzkoušel při posledním výpadku AWS. O výpadku BigTech se dozvím buď z novin nebo že mi nefungují nástroje v práci, ale ne to, co používám osobně. Já totiž dost selfhostuju a tam, kde ne, vybírám pro důležité věci služby, které mají servery opravdu v EU. Nějaký odsun od BigTech praktikuju už 10 let, takže teď to bylo jen o tom to dotáhnout.

Open standards – like the Open Document Format used by #LibreOffice – are extremely beneficial to end users. They reduce vendor lock-in, improve compatibility between apps, and preserve your data for longer: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl… #foss #openSource

#UnifiedPush is on everybody's lips when it comes to #decentralization or #deGoogle or wanting to cut off #BigTech from your live.

But did you know how it was started? How many times its destiny intersected with #FDroid ?

It doesn't take much to close things here. This place doesn't know how to deal.

In 2001, we got several inches over the morning period when school buses were picking kids up from school, but they hadn't canceled classes until everyone got to school. They then had to send all the buses back out and pick up the kids again.

Several buses crashed. Two students died. Some didn't get picked up and had to spend the night at school. There were lawsuits.
I was one of the lucky ones who were able to get out.
School was closed for a week after that, I think.

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

Privacy & anonymity protect journalists, whistleblowers & activists.

We must fight against age verification - or the free web dies!

Hurrah!! Excellent news!! I don’t want young men inducted into pornography and sexual abuse of minors! And I don't want young women inducted into the belief that that kind of abuse is normal! I would like to see high costs for ALL pornography, and the obligation to REGISTER to allow Authorities to verify whether a registered user is guilty of sexual criminal behaviour and abuse!
Maybe YOU like it, and maybe YOU like little children being targeted, but most of us do NOT!
