Russian Telegram videos now show how ordinary citizens are stopped and having their phones searched.

During these searches, the police writes down their phones' unique International Mobile Equipment Identity number to log their real identity and this number in a database. So every time a citizen turns on his phone, the dictatorship then knows which citizen it is, where he is, what he is doing online, and who he is talking to.

This is not a country. This is the largest prison on earth.

What West doesn’t understand about Russia - a Lithuanian who knows

#Lithuania's parliamentary speaker Juozas Olekas said #peace with #Russia can be secured only from position of strength warning unless #Moscow is stopped in #Ukraine, it will continue aggression deeper in #Europe

Lithuania’s #security approach shaped by its history of #Soviet #occupation & by belief Russia’s #imperial attitudes extend beyond #Kremlin

What the West doesn't understand about Russia, from a Lithuanian who knows

Drawing on Lithuania's own history of Soviet occupation, Juozas Olekas argues that Europe's best chance to prevent a wider war is to help Ukraine defeat Russia.

How satisfying is this forest transformation?

Throwback to this before-and-after from ‪our partner IPÊ‬ in Brazil, where we’re supporting the restoration of the Atlantic Forest.

After 3 years of planting forest corridors, 26,000 trees are growing 🌳

And animals are starting to move through the forest again.

Thanks for being part of it 💚

@AntennaPod Can you please check why version 3.11.2 has not yet been uploaded to F-Droid?
@cryptomator Can Cryptomator be used with #Infomaniak #kDrive and #OpenXchange #OXDrive ?

Von der Leyen must act or be humiliated.
My piece in @euractiv

This is not a negotiation. It is a test.

Europe possesses a “trade bazooka” designed for the precise scenario of Trump's threats. To delay its use is to invite further encroachments.

This long read in The Verge does a remarkable job of describing how Wikipedia's editing community works, the project's strengths and weaknesses, and the threats it faces.

"In a time of misinformation, in a time of suppression, having this place where people can come and bring knowledge and share knowledge, that is a statement."

How Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

How the world’s largest encyclopedia became the factual foundation of the web, but now it’s under attack from the right wing, tech billionaires, and AI.

🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊
