I love these #FLOSS repos where you fix a bug and they sit your PR out for half a decade for it to not be relevant anymore and you having switched employers twice but then suddenly finding time to come down from their mountain and close and comment on your PR.

Digital Independence Day / Dia da Independência Digital

Rizoma, domingo, 7 de junho às 13:00 GMT+1

EN:

Our workshop series in which we liberate us from the shitty big tech monopolies.

You want to move away from Windows, Google, Apple, Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter, Whatsapp or any of the other big tech monopolies, but you are unsure how and what are the alternatives?

Or you know that already, but you rather want to make that step with others instead of alone?

You just want to discuss in depth what is the coolest of the many alternatives to a service?

Or you are already very deep into the topic and you just want to help others in making the change?

Come around, together we boycott big tech bit by bit.

We meet every first Sunday of the month and every time we replace one more app with a privacy respecting alternative.

Our next workshop starts

📅 on June 7th

🕐 at 13:00

📍 in the Co-Work @ Rizoma, Rua José Estêvão 4, 1150-192 Lisboa.

🆓 Admission is free.

👷 Agenda

• 13:00 Introduction, open discussion, help for early birds

• 13:45 - 14:00 short focus presentation on OpenStreetMap and Transitous as alternatives to Google Maps.

• In the rest of the workshop we just discuss whatever comes up and help each other with technical difficulties.

🧰🎒 What to bring

• Your devices: laptop 💻, smartphone 📱, ...

🐧 For people who want to change to Linux:

• Bring a computer on which you want to install Linux.

• Bring the appertaining charger with you.

• Bring a big external storage device with a backup of your data. (We recommend to make the backup beforehand).

A nossa série de workshops em que nos libertamos dos monopólios dos big tech.

Quer afastar-se do Windows, Google, Apple, Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter, Whatsapp ou qualquer outro dos grandes monopólios tecnológicos, mas não sabe como e quais são as alternativas?

Ou já sabe, mas prefere dar esse passo com outras pessoas em vez de sozinho?

Quer apenas discutir em profundidade qual é a melhor das muitas alternativas a um serviço?

Ou já está muito envolvido no assunto e só quer ajudar outras pessoas a fazer a mudança?

Junte-se a nós, juntos vamos boicotar os big tech, pouco a pouco.

Security Researcher Exploits Flaw in Pretalx Conference Tool

A security researcher recently uncovered a vulnerability in pretalx, a popular conference tool, that could let hackers inject malicious code into an organizer's interface, putting sensitive data at risk. This flaw, known as a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability, could be triggered through simple search queries.
