Erik Uden 🚩My feedback to the EU regarding the newly proposed law forcing all websites to plaintext store everything users do or write for law enforcement.
This may be the dumbest law the EU has proposed as of yet, and it already attempted chat control and article 13 / 11, so this says a lot!
Not only have providers complained for decades about the cost of storing so much user data, of which 99.99999% won't ever be used, but also does law enforcement rarely need this kind of data, and by the time they've legally gained access to it, it won't be stored anymore.
It's a horrid invasion of our privacy, but the perfect tool for fascist regimes, for whom we are paving the way with this!
If you only invite corporate spyware lobbyist orgs to draft a law, this is the result. Peter Thiel couldn't have written a better proposal.
Stop this law if you wish for any citizen of this continent to respect you as an institution!
Nina BernsteinTrump told Springsteen to shut up. He didn’t.
His new album includes his Manchester, UK intro to “My City in Ruins,” telling the audience that in the United States the authorities were “persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.” He said that the nation was cutting aid to the poor, abandoning allies, rolling back civil rights protections, defunding universities and deporting people without due process. #Springsteen #resist #music https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/arts/music/bruce-springsteen-e-street-band-ep-trump.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

Randahl FinkPicture 1: In 2024 when the US economy was good, Trump claimed that this was caused by optimism from investors expecting he would win the election.
Picture 2: Now that Trump has won, and the economy is crashing, Trump claims this is all Biden's fault, because this has "NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS".
He must really think his voters are dumb as doorknobs.
Greenpeace InternationalBillionaires added nearly $2 TRILLION to their wealth in the last year, while the rest struggle to afford food and energy.
Taxing extreme wealth could cut bills, insulate homes, and protect us from climate chaos.

LibreOfficeWith the world changing around us, many governments and organisations are trying to reduce their dependency on tech giants. Here's an update on how one German federal state is moving 30,000 PCs to LibreOffice (and longer-term, Linux): https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/03/13/updates-on-schleswig-holstein-moving-to-libreoffice/ #foss #opensource #freesoftware
Updates on Schleswig-Holstein moving to LibreOffice - TDF Community Blog
Nearly a year ago, we posted about the German state of Schleswig-Holstein’s plan to move 30,000 PCs from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice. Now, Stephane Fermigier from EuroStack – which promotes European technological sovereignty and open source – has posted an update, citing an article in the German c’t Magazin. It discusses various reasons for the migration to LibreOffice and Linux, including: Digital Sovereignty – Schleswig-Holstein is actively reducing its dependence on a single, non-European tech giant Public Money, Public Code – Improvements made to open source software, like accessibility enhancements to LibreOffice, are available to the public Public Procurement as a Lever – Schleswig-Holstein is not only improving its own IT infrastructure but also sending a strong signal to the market, potentially encouraging other public administrations to follow suit In Fermigier’s post he also points to a recent talk from the LibreOffice Conference 2024 in Luxembourg (see below – video also available on PeerTube). Meanwhile, Dirk Schrödter, Head of the State Chancellery of Schleswig-Holstein, posted some thoughts on LinkedIn, including: This is not just about technological independence but also about economic aspects. At present, our administrations and businesses are trapped in a system characterized by monopolistic structures and high licensing
