More US political hypocrisy?

The Tangerine Tyrant (and others) have been loudly condemning the EU's fine of X for breaches of digital transparency rules...

Yet, the US has been fining major European financial institutions (many of which have few operations in the US) for a range of infractions over the last decade.

The EU has remained quiescent on the banking fines, but perhaps it should pick up on Trump's playbook & start pushing back?

Rust is is not a "silver bullet" that can solve all security problems, but it sure helps out a lot and will cut out huge swatches of Linux kernel vulnerabilities as it gets used more widely in our codebase.

That being said, we just assigned our first CVE for some Rust code in the kernel: https://lore.kernel.org/all/2025121614-CVE-2025-68260-558d@gregkh/ where the offending issue just causes a crash, not the ability to take advantage of the memory corruption, a much better thing overall.

Note the other 159 kernel CVEs issued today for fixes in the C portion of the codebase, so as always, everyone should be upgrading to newer kernels to remain secure overall.

Some good news from Denmark! The government has withdrawn the #VPN proposal after just five days, claiming that the proposal was misunderstood and that banning VPN use was never the intention. In that case, the drafting was exceptionally bad, and withdrawing the proposal is clearly the right thing to do.

Vi sad herhjemme og undrede os over hvad i alverden der foregår, hvorfor spilder #EU folks, Seleneski og nogle Amerikanere tiden på at forhandle noget som Rusland alligevel bare vil afvise?
Så er det jo rart at eksperten @anderspuck på området også undrer sig.

IT Havarikommission NU!

My friends and I have often discussed the need for two phones. One for our daily use and one that is "surveillance state monitored" and kept in an RF bag. While this combination would be more convenient, I'm sure that the monitoring actors would find a way to require you to keep the monitored phone on if it became common.

Community Idea- Jolla Secure Android Back Cover!

As Google is closing its android system we might see essential apps going on lockdown, preventing Sailfish users to use these essential apps and prevent users to have the new Jolla phone as their daily driver.

Do we need go carry a second phone for apps that require Google Play Services? The Jolla Secure Android Back Cover lets you run banking, government, and digital ID apps directly from the other side of your private Jolla phone.

🔹 Isolated Android system
🔹 Secure NFC payments
🔹 E-Ink display for controlling app
🔹 No GPS access or tracking
🔹 Easy attach/detach.
🔹 Rugged protection

Privacy-focused and convenient.

Have your own idea? Share it on the Sailfish OS forum: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/the-other-half-returns-community-innovation-program/26011
