Digital Independence Day / Dia da Independência Digital

Rizoma, domingo, 5 de julho 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 July 5th

🕐 at 13:00

📍 in the CCS room @ Rizoma, Rua José Estêvão 4, 1150-202 Lisboa.

🆓 Admission is free.

👷 Agenda

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

• 13:45 - 14:00 short focus presentation on Email Encryption and RSS feeds with Thunderbird.

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

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?

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.

Governments Struggle to Secure Open-Source Software

The alarming reality is that years of underinvestment in open-source software security are catching up with us, with a new supply chain compromise emerging almost every week. A recent scan by Project Glasswing found over 6,000 high-risk vulnerabilities in popular open-source projects, but only a tiny fraction have been patched.

Economics and value of open source are critical understandings for policy makers and those engaging in open source, which is why The PSC joining OpenUK's team as our "Economists in Residence" is so important to us.

This will be based on our survey, which will, for the first time, include AI and be open to completion internationally as well as in the UK. 🤗

#SpaceX acquires #Cursor. Cursor's building a #GitHub replacement. So #Musk is now coming for #OpenSourceSoftware too?

I had "What if Musk acquires GitHub?!" on a conference slide [1], as the absurd, extreme example of why open source shouldn't be centralised.

That was only in November... :|
