Switzerland passes law requiring #OpenSource software in the public sector. "All public bodies must disclose the source code of software developed by or for them, unless precluded by third-party rights or security concerns" Well done @maemst, great work!

🚨 New pre-print – dark times for privacy. Not only announced Google yesterday to continue allowing cross-site cookies. We find that Android's central privacy options are ineffective and arguably misleading for consumers.
For 10+ years, Google has allowed #Android users to limit data sharing for online ads. We find that this setting does... NOTHING much. The same goes for Californians, when they exert their LEGAL right to limit sale or sharing of their data. #GPC

Restriktive #Bezahlkarten mit pauschalen Bargeldlimits gehen nicht klar, sagt das Sozialgericht Hamburg: netzpolitik.org/2024/sozialger…
Die Beschränkung muss - wenn, dann - an den Einzelfall angepasst werden. Das würde Bezahlkarten zu einem Bürokratiemonster machen.
Die Konsequenz muss jetzt sein, dass man die ganze populistische Diskriminierungssymbolpolitik einfach ganz sein lässt.
Sozialgericht Hamburg: Pauschale Bargeld-Limits bei Bezahlkarten sind rechtswidrig

Open Source or Shut Down MastoMetrics?
Every day multiple people sign up for @mastometrics, but hosting is burning a hole in my pocket and I don't have much time to maintain it.
I'm open to cleaning up my code and making it self hostable as well as accepting code contributions. However, I still need donations to fund the free / flagship server.
So here's my pledge and call to you:
Ensure MastoMetrics stays online and help me reach €1500 donations: ko-fi.com/robertvh

Heads up for Linux @thunderbird users: We have seen an issue where the new tray icon isn't rendering on daily.
Long story short it kinda helps if you install TB-symbolic.svg in `mach install` !
Please adjust your packaging for daily to ensure TB-symbolic.svg is now accounted for in chrome/icons/default/ - we've got `mach install` fixed now xD

I was just researching what is the best washing machine cleaning product, and tripped over a delightful five-star review on Amazon, wherein, after describing the olfactory crisis that precipitated the purchase in the first place, the author of the review said with great approval, "My washer stopped smelling like American politics after I used this product."

in reply to Marco Rogers • • •More importantly though, every actor in this dynamic feels that it's not their own actions that need to change. It's always somebody else that needs to change.
That's why I end up poking people about this. Even though I know it often just makes them defensive. Each of us has to understand that we don't have any control over what other people do. The only thing we can actually make a decision about is whether our own actions in the system match up with our stated values.
