Now the goal for citizens of undecided/supportive countries is to make politicians understand why opposing chat control is a good idea. This needs to be buried once and for all.
sorry, i will believe it, when the voting on this in the EU did happen. until this really happened no one "[...]did it". i do not believe mr. #spahn anything he is saying.
i would like to just remind you of recent voting results on #uploadfilter.
To everyone in the comments already painting the future black despite the good news and happiness and believe that hope is possible and something bad might have been avoided for now:
Guys,girls and rest,
not appreciating speckles of light and already catastrophysing and pushing down hope is exactly what helps facism and power-hungry people. If they take away our hope and faith in a possible better wotld, they've won. Hopelessness births apathy.
what is this chat control can anyone explain is this some new law on communication and if tuta opposes it then it might be against privacy of users as far I could understand
By Alexandra Geese, German MEP: "This success shows that public pressure and a strong civil society work!
But: Our chats will only be safe once the federal government has clearly taken a position and the vote in the Council has been officially scheduled for next week. And one thing is also clear: There will be a next proposal.

🕊️ Manifesto 2025: the freedom to communicate belongs to all of us
In 2024, we saw 296 internet shutdowns across 54 countries, with 47 still ongoing into 2025. #India alone imposed 84 shutdowns. Networks are being cut in conflicts from #Gaza to #Nepal, while #Russia has blocked 197 VPNs 🛑 and encrypted apps are under threat. Major platforms collect our metadata and use it to train opaque AI systems.
Jami offers another path. Free, open‑source and peer‑to‑peer, it delivers encrypted calls and messages without central servers or phone numbers. No ads, no data mining. As a GNU project, its code is public and auditable.
That last step... who writes an XSL processor that basically lets one embed a shell script in the stylesheet? Is this "standard Java" stuff, or an Oracle abomination?
"Let me say this clearly: nobody in this country is safe."
"Federal agents detained American citizens without individualized probable cause this week. They handcuffed children. They sorted people by race. They treated an American city like occupied territory."
"This happened. In Chicago. In America. This week."
En trucos no pedidos por nadie y de gran utilidad a personas ciegas, o al menos eso creo: Marcar los botes de productos de baño con dymo en las tapas y cuando se acaba y sustituye, se cambia la tapa del nuevo por la marcada del viejo. Síganme para otras cosas inútiles para el populacho!
it only took a few years for the trust fund brunchlords in charge of modern media to convert the entirety of the country's Op/Ed infrastructure to an ugly fusion of right wing propaganda and engagement trolling RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ddvus…
at some point you'd think we would develop some kind of cultural immune response to being endlessly trolled by some of the dimmest, least remarkable people imaginable
I'm writing these words from the bottom of my heart.
This is not the life we deserve to live. We are human beings and we deserve a better life. This life isn't like us. We had beautiful life. We had beautiful home. We had beautiful people and places. Now we only have a tent that we move from a place to another. We lost everything.
We don't deserve this!

I was curious about whether there were any developments in inexpensive braille, so I searched for "low cost braille display". The top result was, of course, Orbit. The second? Humanware. That made me laugh. Looks like Orbit and BrailleMe are still it, and I still don't like Orbit's lack of cursor keys, refresh sound, and keyboard. I've never tried BrailleMe. It's sad that the new ideas for this technology never seem to pan out. Pun intended.

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belongs to the people.
Today, with things being what they are, I can do no better than quote from the master, Douglas Adams... "Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons"
A new California law will require streaming services such as Disney+ and Netflix to ensure that the audio volume for an ad is the same as the content being streamed. pcmag.com/news/california-crac…
I’m Abeer, a mother of four from Gaza. I lost my husband and our home. We survived bombings, hunger, and endless fear. Now I’m alone, trying to keep my children alive — to find food, water, and warmth. No child should suffer like this. Please, help me give them safety and hope again 💔
Ugh. It's a zero motivation, getting my ass handed to me by depression day. I woke up at 10, and I've been lying here in bed trying to find reason and motivation to get up and do something since. It's a rainy miserable day here today. And while I could probably very easily blame my mood on the weather, I won't. I really detest this why bother, what's the point mood that I get into sometimes. Like you know that point where you feel like all you need is something good to happen to you or a little bit of good news to feel better? Yeah, that. It's times when I feel like this that I really understand why people self medicate to feel better. Oh well, I'll probably do that myself when I do eventually rise because why the fuck not? Hope everyone has/is having an awesome day.
Adobe Acrobat is now pushing VERY hard to get you to upload your personal PDF documents to their AI summarization tool. Absolute trash. Dangerous trash.
На этот раз под предлогом проверки прикрепления к поликлинике. Слово за слово, как-то передают звонок из рук в руки, и дальше снова начинается: на вас взяли доверенность, зашли в Госуслуги, у них есть все ваши документы...
На этот раз дальше дело не зашло (мы всё перепроверили, никаких доверенностей, никаких входов).
Но как же я этих сволочей ненавижу. Пожилые люди гораздо медленнее соображают, их легко запутать и запугать. Помогайте своим бдить.
Не помню, рассказывал уже или нет, как я тут чуть не лопнул от гордости за свою маман. Позвонили ей такие, прикинулись родственником. А она: «Как зовут моего сына? Как зовут мою дочь?». Молодец, только так и надо. С госуслугами, честно, сложнее, но если я правильно понимаю, легально же никто с госуслуг в принципе не звонит по телефону.
@menelion а с госуслуг и не звонят. Звонят «из поликлиники». Первичная бдительность усыплена, а потом (не сразу, сначала обсудят все детали вопроса с «поликлиникой») резко пугают, и дальше уже надо иметь хорошие нервы чтобы с этого соскочить
@dside @mo @menelion как я понимаю раньше такой развод был частный - проверка газа итд. Но там приходили и смотрели на газовый котёл после чего вздыхали и говорили что очень очень очень надо котел менять.
Моей маме так пришли с "проверкой", типа нашли утечку газа и поменяли подводку газа за 5 т.р. Показали удостоверение типа "ГБУ ГосГаз №13" с фото и печатью, в форме был и т.п. Причём по времени как раз шли обычные проверки, это тем более подозрения не вызвало.
Хуже всего, что после этого ушлёпка утечка реально появилась и заметная уже не приборам, а носу, и вскоре явившийся реальный газовщик поменял подводку ещё раз, рублей за триста.

I'm reading Eichmann in Jerusalem, & something I wish I had been aware of sooner is that this is not just an important text about Nazis & the evils that ordinary people can commit without batting an eye.
It is *also* an important text about Israel & its history. Hannah Arendt is also critiquing Eichmann's trial as a type of show trial & pointing at the Zionist ideology & propaganda on display.
I'm primarily reading because I'm interested in how Arendt's insights into the mentality of people facilitating genocide without feeling guilt or remorse can be reconsidered & reinterpreted in modern American life.
I don't know if I will fully agree with all of Arendt's interpretation, but it feels like her work is a great place to start.
Is anyone aware of works by Black or Indigenous authors (or other POC) that either deal directly with Arendt & her ideas about the "banality of evil" or that cover similar topics?
I'm interested in the psychology of "normal" people who participate in, support, or tolerate genocide happening around them, & would especially benefit from perspectives of colonized people on this.
mixed feelings. obv will go downhill under Qualcomm: end of era. OTOH I can respect if Arduino's founders/owners wanted to get rich, esp as a way of de-risking the lives of them and their loved ones. cuz very risky/chaotic things on the horizon, across near and medium term scales
there will always be other teams out there trying to make the next Arduino. not surprised if a few exist already
I just checked and it seems that it has been 9 years since my last post in this blog :O As part of my job at Amazon I started working in a GTK widget which will allow embedding a Servo Webview...
Despite the recent media reporting, #Windows installation with local accounts is working just fine. Create a regular Windows installation media and drop autounattend.xml to the root of the USB device and install it.
If the installation demands you to connect to the internet, you can bypass this part by pressing Shift+F10 and then entering oobe\bypassnro + <return>. After the installer restart, you'll have the "I don't have internet" option, and the installation will proceed.
EDIT: To clarify: While I did not test the latest insider build I believe this method will continue to work, even with it. I'll be sure to edit the post if this turns out to be incorrect.

As the rest of the world turns into authoritarian police state, opposing madness like this is how we save our continent!
How else are we supposed to attract the best talent, the best innovation & the best culture?
Do we want to be a bastion of freedom of expression, shining on the hill or not?
Or do we want to be an authoritarian shithole like the rest of them?
