EU Parliament approved extending Chat Control scanning until August 2027 but now mandates targeted, proportional measures that exclude end-to-end encrypted chats 🛡️.

This protects private communications from mass surveillance as CSAR negotiations test EU commitment to user privacy rights 🔒

A new European consortium led by Volla is creating UnifiedAttestation, an open-source alternative to Google's Play Integrity API 📱.

This would enable secure payments and sensitive apps on Google-free custom ROMs, reducing dependency on proprietary US infrastructure and advancing user sovereignty 🔒.

Using Talmudic Techniques To Understand Free Software

In the Wikipedia article about Talmud it says that:

It records the teachings, opinions and disagreements of thousands of rabbis and Torah scholars.

And if you know from books like Tanya which references the book of Nida on the first page, in the first paragraph, in the first sentence, you know that Talmud likes to link things Wikipedia style, and then argue those things, trying to find patterns.

What could be the pattern in linking a Wikipedia article and then talking about Wikipedia in an article about using Talmudic Techniques to understand Free Software?

Dear Customer.

No, you can't turn on your heat pumps because the internet site connected to the app on the phone in your hand is under maintenance.

If our maintenance goes bad you will have to go out into the snow and try to open the frozen box and turn the thing off and on again and set everything up all over again, which will need the remote control which you haven't seen for about 2 years - WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE USING THE BLOODY PHONE TO CONTROL IT LIKE YOU TOLD US TO.
