The Autistici/Inventati (A/I) server case (it was located in Amsterdam, seized by dutch authorities on request of US agencies) show that #DigitalSovereignty is not limited to running your software on machines in the EU. It actually is about real sovereignty. Why did the dutch authorities feel obliged to do this? The @EUCommission should start a thorough review of the agreements with the US under that perspective, in my opinion.

Here is a small directory of small presses and indie publishers. Even though I don't quite like the WebRing format, I like directories more, give this one a look. https://indiepresswebring.com/ #Publisher #Publishing #WritingCommunity
Back from an intense and engaging UK Degrowth Gathering in Sheffield. Some 60 people from all over the island met for a participative, deliberative day to consider and plan how to increase our influence in the face of rampant growthism, fascism and collapsing ecosystems.
We have a way forward: watch this space in coming weeks.

"la République, donc les forces de l'ordre"
Cette citation sera dans les livres d'histoire au chapitre sur le fascisme.
Et défoncer les services publics de l'éducation et de la santé comme il participe à le faire, c'est pas s'en prendre à la République ?
Cette merde de Lecornu doit démissionner.
Heat pumps & insulation would cut living costs more than new oil fields
Isn’t it strange how Andy Burnham’s “pragmatic” approach to the North Sea involves doing exactly what fossil fuel lobbyists want?
No party is serious about dealing with the cost of living unless they also tackle climate change

> But due to how much AI takes over the discourse, sucks the air our of the room, and rightfully riles people up this is a space to talk about human learning: human critical communicative, learning, teaching, and thinking skills.
@olivia @inquiline @theluddite I love this!
In case you haven’t encountered them yet: https://lesscomputer.ca/ and https://humancrafted.discourse.group/ emit, to me, a similar energy and desire.
«Non è la dea bendata o la spada a simboleggiare il diritto nelle società senza Stato, ma è piuttosto il sicomoro sotto il quale la comunità si riunisce per risolvere consensualmente i conflitti. Lungi dall'essere reliquie del passato, queste forme egualitarie si configurano come comunità giuridiche che rifiutano consapevolmente ogni modello basato sul monopolio della violenza.»
Come work with us! We are looking for a 2 year fully funded postdoc on Usable Privacy-Enhancing Technologies and Attribute-Based Identity Wallet Technology in a large EU project.

Il problema del "bait and switch", se arrivato con buone intenzioni di sicurezza, potrebbe causare dei grossi problemi a quelle app che, per svariati problemi architetturali, hanno bisogno di inserire comportamenti innescati solo se le funzioni di accessibilità sono attive - VoiceOver, switch control, ecc.
Un vedente potrebbe non essere interessato a conoscere questo trigger, e lo sviluppatore potrebbe non mettercelo. Ho diverse app che funzionano così. Da sperare che questi dev per questo tipo di funzioni usino le accessibility label.
Die aktuelle Ausgabe der Zeitschrift perspektive ("Recht unter Druck") nimmt Formen der rechtlichen Benachteiligung von geflüchteten Menschen in den Blick, u.a. mit einem (Reprint-)Text von mir, in dem ich zeige, wie das #Aufenthaltsrecht das #Arbeitsrecht untergräbt: https://shop.fluechtlingsrat-bw.de/wp-content/uploads/free-downloads-files/temp-files/00909280900/perspektive_1_2026_compressed.pdf
Arnaques en ligne : les banques devront désormais rembourser les victimes, même en cas de négligence grave. Deux exceptions sont toutefois prévues.
Sometimes it's sci-fi, cats, music or comedy, but today it's the Indonesian traditional boat race Pacu Jalur which has distracted me from the general fuckedness of the world.
This idea should spread. Adding motivational dancing would make everything better: rugby league, political debates, formula one, HSC exams, queuing at Centrelink, random breath testing. You name it.

I`m happy to be speaking at #Matrixconf in 🇸🇪 #Malmo this week.
Can open protocols communities learn from each other? For sure!
I will talk about political demands from a perspective of advocating for open protocols based social networks in 🇪🇺 . And why we build the alliance @offene_netzwerke
With this talk I want to build bridges within our habitat of open protocols communities ✨
Thanks for having me @matrix

It seems that a lot of political activists don't understand the importance of free software, and think the Epstein class platforms are just some kind of neutral commons that can be used for anything.
Meanwhile, a lot of free software advocates don't understand the importance of politics, and think it is just pointless virtue-signaling.
We have a lot to learn from each other.
