Die Datenschutzkonferenz (DSK) ist der Auffassung: "Microsoft 365 ist und bleibt datenschutzwidrig." [1] 👇

Nochmal der Hinweis an Verantwortliche: Es ist höchste Zeit einzulenken und sich mit Alternativen [2] zu beschäftigen, mit der ein moderner und fächerübergreifender Digitalunterricht möglich ist – und gleichzeitig die Daten der Schüler geschützt werden.

Einzelne Fortschritte Microsofts erkennen die Datenschützer Deutschlands an. Das reicht nicht.

TL;DR #Microsoft is (again) putting requirements on manufacturers (Lenovo, in this case) to effectively limit computers to only run Windows. @EU_Commission - I hope you are noticing and enforcing the rules we have to stop this kind of behaviour once again. Make it fast, please. Thx! mjg59.dreamwidth.org/60248.htm…

<<In other words, #GitHub's final position on #Copilot is: if you disagree with GitHub about policy matters related to Copilot, then you don't deserve a reply from #Microsoft or GitHub. They only will bother to reply if they think they can immediately change your policy position to theirs. But, Microsoft and GitHub will leave you hanging for a year before they'll tell you that! >>

Microsoft's Github Copilot is disregarding Free Software licenses and will be happily selling parts of your GPL code against your will! Woo!

As the author of this article says - free software should be dependant on free software architecture - I recommend codeberg.org as an open-source alternative to Github.
Sadly Github is no longer a platform that can be trusted.

Lots of understandable concern today as #Microsoft #GitHub announced their new #Copilot availability today. Probably worth a reminder that @conservancy has convened a working group on #ethics, #licensing, and other related issues, especially for #FreeSoftware and #OpenSource contributors.

Perhaps you or others may want to join or read more?

Boosts welcome! :boost_requested:

Hey people!

If you use #Microsoft #Office be extra careful when opening documents or files from unknown sources. On May 31st a #vulnerability was disclosed, that allows an attacker to execute code through MS Office via maliciously prepared documents. It's best to open only stuff which comes from people you know or implement the published mitigation strategies:

Zero-Day-Lücke in MS Office: Microsoft gibt Empfehlungen

Microsoft gibt Handlungsempfehlungen gegen die Zero-Day-Schwachstelle in Office. Angreifer könnten diese zum Einschleusen von Schadcode missbrauchen.

One of the good inpact of #Microsoft is pushing a laptop #security features that can be benefited also by #Linux.
For example #TPM2 can securely unlock your encrypted root linux drive without entering a password every time.

Mkinitcpio tpm2 encrypt

All my personal and company computers are powered by Arch Linux with encrypted storages. This setup brings an inconvenience of entering two passwords on startup. One unlocks the storage encryption, second logs me to my user account.

@Bubu I don’t think that’s true. I heard a talk pimping #Matrix at #FOSDEM years back, and I remember because I was a bit repulsed that a pro- #Cloudflare org was getting talking time there. It was the same year that #DuckDuckGo abused a time slot to advertise their #Microsoft-driven service.
