I've said it before and I'll say it again: the EU should reserve some serious money, fork Mozilla and make regulations that governmental websites need to work on their fork (and Big Tech gatekeeper websites as well).

This is one of the items to stay independent from Google's, Apple's and the US's whims.

(The other item is a mobile OS like @jolla's #SailfishOS.)

So, after about a month of slow and gradual changes to my phone ecosystem (and after accepting the quite unfortunate limitation of having to rely on my work phone for the national eID in Sweden: "BankID", due to missing NFC): I'm now ready to try out the actual switch from iPhone to #sailfishos #linuxPhone from #jolla as my 'main driver' phone.

Let's see how it goes! 😄

What an amazing year for Pixelfed and our other projects like https://loops.video and https://fedidb.com

I started this year as the solo dev, and now we have a team of designers, developers and project managers.

June will bring a fresh new experience to Pixelfed, a stable/self-hostable and newly federated Loops and early access to Sup for our Kickstarter backers.

This wouldn’t be possible without the support from our amazing community, so thank you ❤️

How Many Qubits Will It Take to Break Secure Public Key Cryptography Algorithms? - Slashdot

Wednesday Google security researchers published a preprint demonstrating that 2048-bit RSA encryption "could theoretically be broken by a quantum computer with 1 million noisy qubits running for one week," writes Google's security blog. "This is a 20-fold decrease in the number of qubits from our ...

We'll be testing the beta on a pixelfed.social subdomain next week, and yes, you can too.

@kurtsh

It's good that Harvard's making these courses free (to audit online). Can this reduce the terrible ignorance about American Government that makes too many Americans behave as helpless fools?

Here's one course:
---
American Government: Constitutional Foundations
Learn how early American politics informed the U.S. Constitution and why its promise of liberty and equality has yet to be fully realized.
---
Sounds worthwhile!

p.s. I''m not connected to Harvard or any of its courses.

@oldclumsy_nowmad Nope. In my experience, most ignorance is intentional. This exercise is only akin to leading a horse to water. Only when the horse is thirsty will it take action.

The new bill's Medicaid, Medicare & SNAP food assistance cuts might make them thirsty.

Social security is next.

While MAGA will keep on swallowing what the Trump admin is feeding them, I'm sincerely hopeful that those who need to understand, and are willing to listen, will take advantage.

I'm thinking of the gap years when the GoP were gutting education* and young people weren't really taught much but the test. With great shame I will admit my own adult kids may be in those ranks.

Of course we've also got the abysmal literacy issues.

WRT literacy in the US, the average adult reads at or below expected ability of the sixth grade or sixth year of formal elementary education. The article below explains some nuances but the facts are stark. So, unless the Harvard course is presented at a middle school level it may well be lost on those citizens who need it the most.

@kurtsh Clearly, Harvard is saying that stopping criminals like Trump is not something their alumni are responsible for.

Or maybe its saying what the Ivy League grads learned there is worthless.

Diese Rechte wurden in wichtigen Fällen des Obersten Gerichtshofs angefochten und erweitert, was dazu beitragen wird, zu veranschaulichen, wie historisch benachteiligte Gruppen darum gekämpft haben, das Gleichheitsversprechen des 14.
