Oproep: Help mee! Netten voor Oekraine!
In Oekraïne is urgent behoefte aan visnetten die opgehangen worden in de straten tegen drones. De Piratenpartij koopt gebruikte visnetten in en vervoert ze naar de locaties in Oekraïne waar deze het hardst nodig zijn.
Door ons te steunen met een kleine donatie voor brandstof en visnetten kun jij ons helpen de Oekraïnse bevolking te beschermen tegen drones.

Recently,a school invited me to discuss #drones,considering my 9yrs-long work on #GiovanniLoPorto,killed by a #USdroneStrike.
#Meloni's Minister of Education, #Valditara,will make #ParCondicio mandatory.Will schools invite journos making the case for assassinations by drones?
I'd like to refer to something mentioned in the title of the @j3s article posted in the original post: "[predator] #drones run #linux"
Consider a not so hypothetical example:
This is #Charkiv in the autumn of 2024. A group of hackers decides to convert a local bike cafe shop to a place that builds and improves on drones. They use lots of free software to do that. They hand them over the Ukrainian military.
Copyright law aside, is this an ethical use or not?
