#DigitaleSouveränität #DigitaleSelbstbestimmung #KillSwitch #digitaleseuropa

Microsoft-Präsident Brad Smith findet einen US-Kill-Switch „äußerst unwahrscheinlich". 86 % der Europäer halten es für wahrscheinlich, dass die USA Europas Zugang zu digitalen Diensten kappen könnten. 59 % nennen es „reale und konkrete Gefahr" – in Deutschland sogar 65 %. Trump braucht dafür kein neues Gesetz, die Instrumente existieren. Digitale Souveränität ist keine Ideologie, sondern Notfallvorsorge.

There’s a vulnerability with Proton VPN on macOS. The kill switch leaks your real IP between connections.

Proton VPN needs to fix this.

@w00p I'd not purchase anything with a #killswitch built-in!

@jeff @EugeneMcParland which AFAICT @Bundesregierung DOESN'T because they #sabotage the necessary and unavoidable shift towards #RenewableEnergy in favour of #FossilFuel from #Russia and the #USA for no reason but so that #Merz can keep his #RevolvingDoor just as greased as "#GasGerd" #Schröder did with #Gazprom…

I mean, it's foolish to buy #F35 without mandating (like #Israel does!) to have 100% #domestic #avionics and fire controls given that I'd consider the #USA criminally stupid if they didn't integrate any #Killswitch|es into their exports since the #Iran turned from "major customer" to "minor annoyance"…

Louise Olifent fra Ingeniøren er på Mastodon. Hun skriver om at skifte fra #bigtech til europæiske alternativer - lidt a la #killswitch fra #zetland

Ham CBSeren forekommer mig enten meget vinklet (af Zetland) eller meget fatalistisk (har opgivet en "euro stack" og jagter "noget nyt", som han ikke uniformer har peget på, det hvor jeg er kommet til i stikken. Altsammen meget belejligt, hvis man vil bevare status quo.

Hvis jeg kan droppe amerikansk tech, hvorfor kan alle så ikke bare gøre det samme?

Spoileralert: afhængigheden stikker dybere end en Google-konto.

The #Firefox #AI #KillSwitch is here!
But, is it what users want?

I'm leaning towards "not really"

🔥 The Firefox AI Kill Switch » Firesphere.dev

With the Firefox AI kill switch added in Firefox 148, it seems a small part of the user base has been heard. But is this addition by Mozilla really as big an improvement as they make it seem? There are dark patterns and somewhat obvious attempts at hiding the real agenda they laid out a few months back. Mozilla is still all-in on generative AI.
