Neil BrownThe idea that one should be forced to verify one's age or identity to use one's own computer absolutely baffles me.

Fight Chat Control🚨 The Conservatives (EPP) are attempting to force a new vote on Thursday (26th), seeking to *reverse* Parliament's NO on indiscriminate scanning.
This is a direct attack on democracy and blatant disregard for your right to privacy. No means no.
Take action now: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.
Some politicians have already stated this plainly.
This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.
This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.
This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.
This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.
This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.
Do not let them do this to us.

@pan @cas I'd rather consider fleeing in those cases than compliance, espechally since said maintainers are privilegued enough to be able to relocate.
- Also what is the government gonna do if they refuse?
- Steal their FLOSS projects??
If we allow this #cyberfascist #blackmail once, we'll open the floodgates to such #extortion elsewhere and normalize it.
- What's next?
- Will we allow #Roskomnadnozr to mandate #KYC in OSes??
- Allow "P.R." Chinas "Cyberspace Agency" to mandate OS-wide Blockades of @torproject / #Tor & #VPN|s??
The sheer concept of *"#AgeVerification is #cyberfascism and needs to be refused as a matter of principle!
postmarketOSNew blog post introducing the WIP Duranium project (immutable postmarketOS), some of its major features, and explaining why some design decisions were made. 
> Either the new image works, or the system falls back to the previous one automatically. No partially-applied state. No debugging audio when you need to make a phone call and no fussing with a broken web browser when you just want to doomscroll cat photos. It also means developers can reproduce the exact state of a user's device, making it much easier to track down and fix issues.

JustDude 🙋🏻♂️🫶🏼🕊️Students or anyone who is the need for a free Linux Laptop?
We as Laptop Revive can provide one free of charge, no background checks. Just a friendly face and some basic agreements on paper and then we hand it over somewhere in the Netherlands.
Sounds like a miracle? No fact is that we already handed out more than 100 of them ! 🙂👍
See https://laptoprevive.nl for the details

UPDATE: The European Parliament voted today to *end* untargeted mass scanning of private communications, firmly rejecting the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years! Next: trilogue negotiations w/ Commission and Council.
