Wi-Fi lag after a few minutes on Steam Deck using GeforceNOW?

Just disable and enable Wi-Fi on Deck and it will work for the rest of the session.

And then?

And then, in 2026 the final negotiations began, between the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of the EU. At the same time, the European Commission is working on a Plan B, through the initiative Going Dark/ProtectEU, where they once again try to force total surveillance (this time organized crime is the excuse) on the citizens of the EU.

Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats

In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.

Mass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.

🥳 Court victory against Meta 🎉

Today, a Dutch judge ruled in favour of EDRi member @bitsoffreedom of Freedom in the appeal vs. Meta.

Facebook and Instagram users will be free to choose how information appears in their feed - and not be forced into algorithmic timelines - will remain intact.

But the fight isn’t over as Meta is still ignoring these rules in other European countries.

💪 We will keep pushing to make sure the law is respected everywhere.

UPDATE (2026-03-02): This toot has gotten a lot more attention than what I would ever anticipate. Some clarifications are needed. A follow up is here: https://infosec.exchange/@dazo/116158898983233133

Today, the final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 begin.

We hope the European Parliament stands firm against any wording that paves the way for mass surveillance and censorship. Cyprus, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, aims to conclude the negotiations by June.

Chat Control & Going Dark: The war on encryption is on the rise. Through a shady collaboration between the US and the EU.

After Snowden’s whistleblowing in 2013, large parts of the internet became encrypted, enabling private and secure communication. Not everyone has welcomed this change. Most notably, the FBI and other U.S. government agencies have fought what is often called the “crypto wars”, the war on encryption. In recent years, they have been joined by the European Commission. Under the slogan “what about the children,” they try to introduce total mass surveillance of all EU citizens — first through the proposed Chat Control legislation, and later via the Going Dark and ProtectEU initiatives. The goal is to legally mandate spy tools on every European smartphone and computer. The forces behind these efforts have turned out to be American tech companies and intelligence agencies.
