Signal strongly opposes the newest #ChatControl proposal in Europe.

Let there be no doubt: we will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees.

This proposal--if passed and enforced against us--would require us to make this choice.

It's surveillance wine in safety bottles.

Majority for chat control possible – Users who refuse scanning to be prevented from sharing photos and links

The highly controversial indiscriminate child sexual abuse regulation (so-called chat control) could still be endorsed by EU governments after all, as France could give up its previous veto.

Big release incoming!

DAVx5 4.4 is coming with a complete rewrite to Compose and M3 and lots of updates on UI side!

We've streamlined all components of DAVx5 and made it easier understandable as a whole. It is more accessible with additional labels, cleaner colors, a new overview for resources, and a newly introduced single view. You will notice the UI is now a lot more responsive, too!

We introduced client certs for WebDAV mounts and fixed various bugs.

Google operated on the social contract of providing traffic to sites in exchange for content. Now that #Google is switching to #AI answers synthesized from the content and effectively cutting traffic is there even a point in participation?

Google will keep bringing load to the sites without providing any traffic.

I suspect we are about to see first robots.txt snippets banning Google crawlers like other AI bots really soon. And eventually outright banning Google ips altogether.

I wonder whether we’re also about to see a surge of old-school search engines. With modern technology it’s feasible to run a small search engine from a living room (e. g. kukei.eu) on an off-the-shelf hardware and open source software. It doesn’t take the whole Google to operate a decade-old (feature wise) Google search engine. It might be feasible to run a good search engine on small resources that can be paid by simple ads or small subscriptions.

You too can buy a Tesla, and support the main share holder Elon Musk, who abuses his social media platform to convince his 185 million followers, that the US justice system is corrupt, because his favorite criminal is brought to justice.

Or you could buy from a different car brand.

We have been interviewed by Chris and Martin from Linux Inlaws @linux_inlaws :D

In episode 02E12 Bernhard from DAVx5 is talking about the past, present and future of DAVx5, about challenges through the last 10 years of development and a lot of side stories of course as well!

Hope you enjoy the podcast :)

Digging into mbedTLS 3.6.0 failures in curl's tests. It starts to negotiate TLSv1.3 and fails the handshake where curl disables peer verification.

"We don't support disabling server authentication in TLS 1.3." 🤔

My view: this does not make anyone more secure. A library has no full understanding of its applications. It does not know what it'll break with such a change.

Rechtsextreme hassen behinderte Menschen und würden sie töten, wenn sie dürften. Da flog ein Stein mit der Botschaft "Euthanasie ist die Lösung".

Diese Nazi-Geister müssen wieder verschwinden.

Für Vielfalt und Demokratie gegen die #noafd und ihre weltweiten braunen Gleichgesinnten!!!

Alle Menschen sind ohne Ausnahme verschieden aber im Kern gleich. Jedes Leben ist wichtig. Wer kann, schütze diejenigen, die zur Zielscheibe werden!
