🚨 Attention EU Citizens 🚨
💬 Chat Control could mandate all services to scan all private digital communications of everyone residing in the European Union, and it's currently waiting to be green-lit by the EU Parliament tomorrow.
According to Dr. Patrick Breyer a digital rights expert and former Member of the European Parliament: "Chat Control is being pushed through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan."
#FFmpeg to #Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs
A lively discussion about #opensource, security, and who pays the bills
FFmpeg’s libraries, such as #libavcodec and #libavformat, are essential for #media players and software, including VLC, Kodi, Plex, #GoogleChrome, Firefox, and even #YouTube’s #video processing backend. It is also, like many other vital open source programs, terribly underfunded.

With current pledges, the world's on track for 2.6°C of warming in 2100 compared to preindustrial levels.
10 years ago, before the Paris agreement, it was 3.6°C.
20+ years ago, we thought it would be 4-5°C.
1.5°C was a good target, but did anyone seriously think it was possible?
So 2.6°C is better, but the problem is that climate impacts are way worse than we predicted.
Looking for a convivial convo w me & Michael Moynihan covering everything from Snowden to Babbage to why Michael actually cares about privacy to our impoverished def of "AI" and the need to expand it?

L'intersezione tra Enshittification e diarrea di slop fatto con l'IA:
una volta YouTube era un ottimo posto per scoprire musica. Mi suggeriva dischi vecchi, con copertine interessanti, con musica spesso illuminante.
Ora, quando mi suggerisce un disco, so SUBITO che c'è il rischio che sia sbobba fatta con l'IA. Clicco, ascolto, sento che è così, mi intristisco.
Secondo me le big tech sottovalutano quanto questi meccanismi svaluteranno le loro piattaforme.

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “It is time to choose sides; fascism or morality? Big tech has made their choice.”

Anyone who supports switching to for-profit healthcare deserves when they show up at the Emergency Room to be given two horse deworming pills and and told to 'walk it off' in the parking lot.
57 companies are responsible for 80% of the global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
Unless you run those companies, why are you being forced to pay for climate change damage?

They were fools to change it.

Holy Shit, #Valve did a product launch in 2025 and did not mention AI a single fucking time. So refreshing.
Friend: How many domains do you have registered?
Me: Don't ask.
Friend: Come on. What's the big secret between friends?
Me: Hmm, maybe 100. IDK.
Friend: Oh, I see. And what do you do with them? Do you have apps or websites?
Me: Oh yeah, I have 4 websites and 2 apps.
Friend: You must be making lots of money, then? Are you loaded?
Me: Zero paying users. It's the cost of being an 'idea person' & mu way of dealing unresolved issues in my life.
Friend: Yeah, right.
Me: 😭😭😭
