In case you missed it:
The EU is on the road to backdoor E2E encryption or ban it.
On CPDP in Brussels Europol member told me openly they expect that E2E can be decrypted soon and whoever refuses to comply will face legal action (aka arrests). The privacy officer of Europol openly supported it.
If you dont take agressive action soon then say goodbye to Signal or Threema or any other tool you use. It will be banned or shutdown.
The crypto wars never left, now its endgame.

Dear @creativecommons ,

I read your article about your initiative for new licenses for dataset holders in the AI industry.

Let’s be clear: I do not want to re-license my hundreds of CC-By comic pages to please AI giants.

I wish you would support CC artists suffering from massive plagiarism. You should enforce your own existing licenses against AI mass crawling. It seems you’ve joined the battle only after the casualties and still managed to side with the wrong people.

🚨 We're still in need of more #snowflake extensions to help keep Iranians connected during this critical time.

If you're able, please consider running a Tor Snowflake proxy. This simple and safe action can make a significant difference in ensuring Iranians stay online. #KeepItOn

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He's weak and he's ineffective. So the only way he figures that he's going to get reelected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war with Iran.”

— Donald Trump on Barack Obama in 2011

This is it. This is the cartoon.

It's 1991, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

It's 2003, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

It's 2025, and a republican president is embroiling us in a bullshit war in the Middle East.

Postscript on Legalism

https://crimethinc.com/Legalism

Donald Trump and his administration employ the laws and courts wherever it suits them. Wherever laws and courts pose an obstacle to their program, they disregard those right up to the limit imposed by the current balance of power within the state.

It is clear for all to see that for them, the law is simply one of many weapons—it has no power to bind them. Yet many of Trump’s opponents continue hamstring resistance by focusing on questions of legality and other niceties, failing to grasp the reality of the situation.

Both of these people will accurately state that AI has made them more productive and saved them time.

Someone has gone through and run the numbers on molestation crimes against children.

67% of politicians accused or convicted of child abuse nationwide were Republicans.

QAnon needs to look in the mirror.

Out of nearly 11,000 USA cases examined, just 1 offender was a drag queen. Only 5 were trans. 846 were religious figures. 301 were police.

The point about independent instances of Jitsi reminded me how dumb it is that every single university with a CS program doesn’t host their own Jitsi instance instead of paying for enterprise licenses on teams et al… most already do their own moodle if I’m not mistaken so shouldn’t be a stretch.

Spot on description. Not likely to forget this observation. 🤘🏻

This should be on billboards everywhere.

Welp, in case we needed even more things to worry about, apparently in 3 days we're going to stress-test Starlink's current orbital configuration with a severe geomagnetic storm. After working on simulations of Starlink's orbital configuration, I am honestly quite worried about how this is going to go for them (and by extension, for everything else in Low Earth Orbit).
