Words can’t express the horror I’ve felt about witnessing how some people in technology seem to choose to apply their skills to the weapons and surveillance industries.
In 1980, Langdon Winner asked the question in the paper ‘Do Artifacts Have Politics?’ They provided the example that capital will, to suppress labor, choose inferior machines, that make inferior products. Technology is not neutral.

Today, at Open Forum Europe Capital Series, our @EC_DIGIT_director_general Veronica Gaffey, talked about our goal - increasing the maturity of open source in Commission.
"Many #OpenSource project have sizeable European communities. If we collaborate, Europe can remain at the forefront of open source."
It’s 30 years this month since PERMUTATION CITY was first published. But of course, all the same letters had been present in other books for centuries before, they just hadn’t been read in that order.
Excerpt at:
Sol gjør trolla brunere.
"... we test if media platforming fuels agreement with extreme right views. … exposure to uncritical interviews on TV channels like Sky News or on online platforms like YouTube increases agreement with extreme right statements and perceptions that a larger share
of the population shares these views."
Spain to recognize Palestine

Spain's decision to recognize Palestinian state marks potential turning point for Europe
Madrid’s decision is rooted in history, but also in its current realitiesGraham Keeley (Voice of America (VOA News))
I hope so, though the PSOE has been flirting with this idea for years/decades.
One thing in the article doesn't make sense though: they say Malta and Cyprus recognised Palestine before joining EU but then state that Malta and Slovenia may recognise it soon.

This is definitely authentic North Carolina, but they don't make accents and voices quite like that anymore.
If I had to guess, I'd say this lady was probably from somewhere south and east of Greensboro.

I am getting tired of reading about the #xz #security issue as if it is all about issues within #opensource. It is much bigger than that, and those takes conflate the problem with the solution.
So I wrote "The xz issue isn't about Open Source" here: changelog.complete.org/archive…

Several good points, but this part seems a bit naive:
> anybody that’s interested — anybody at all — can dive in and ask “why” and trace it down to root causes.
It's more accurate to say anyone who's interested, has the necessary skills, *and* is being paid to do so or has enough spare time. I point this out because it's common to have problems in FOSS that remain unsolved until someone steps up and funds a solution.

This feature is currently available in Signal for Android v7.2, but it will likely come to other platforms soon. Please note that this feature is currently under active development, so its design and functionality are subject to change.

Dear government of The Netherlands,
1. There are 24 official languages of the EU, please use the language of my country next time, thanks in advance 😉
2. No, languages don't have flags and the proper code for the English language is neither GB, nor UK or US but _en_ (notice the case as well - we use lower for ISO 639 and upper for ISO 3166)
3. It would be nice if you actually provided the return address, not just an empty box. 😯
