Sitting in a cafe in #Casablanca, #Morocco this late morning. Most places are not on Google Maps so I thought to check and see, and yes, it is not listed. So I added it to @openstreetmap via @organicmaps.

One of my favorite modern cybersecurity design things is when something on the server side authentication fails instead of your actual credentials / MFA, but the failure error message is identical so you spend an hour doing resets and second guessing yourself only to have everything work perfectly a little later on.

So excited to read @MichaelEMann’s new book, “Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons From Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis.”

Mann is an incredible climate scientist & storyteller. I have no doubt this will be a fantastic & hopeful must-read for 2023! #ClimateChange

Basically, what we’re saying to people today is:

You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.

What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?

Oh, then suffer.

I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?

Big Tech can legally store your data in the US again - though it is at risk of mass surveillance there.

This does not affect Tutanota: We store all your data on our own servers here in Germany. Unlike most services, we do not use Big Tech cloud services (like AWS or Google), but have full control over our own infrastructure.

Data Privacy Framework is just a "copy of Privacy Shield" & must fail.

EU and USA agree on a new data sharing law: Data Privacy Framework. The problem: US surveillance has not changed.

There were also a lot of assurances that "CentOS Linux isn't going away" when Red Hat acquired them. Stream was a tough sell, but many of us accepted and embraced and defended it. The move last week removes some of the basis for the good faith that those arguments depended upon. So, on one hand, it is about last week, but on the other is the incredible damage to the brand among people who have been Red Hat customers, contributors, and loyalists for so long.
