Wow, after 25 years of #Unix / #linux experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.

Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.

Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

RSS offers readers and writers a path away from unreliable, manipulative, and hostile platforms and intermediaries.

Hospitals are more than healthcare—they are the ultimate critical infrastructure. One failure can cause cascading impacts on patients and communities.

At #DEFCON33 @defcon we’re inviting you to connect with fellow villages and work across industries to secure patient safety and resilience.

Australian government: We want to ban anyone under the age of 16 accessing social media.

Google, Meta, etc: You can't do this to us... Errr... Our customers! This is big government interfering in the free market! We believe in freedom! Government does best when it does least!

Australian government: Unfortunately, it seems there's no other way around this, except to require /every/ Australian to provide ID to prove their identity before using social media services.

Google, Meta, etc: No way! There's no chance in... Hang on a sec, you're making people provide us with what?

Australian government: Unfortunately, yes. Every single Australian will basically have to provide uploads of their identity documents to Google, Meta, and the other Silicon Valley surveillance mongers.

How else will they prove they're over 16?

Google, Meta, etc: What sorts of documents?

Australian government: Oh, passports, drivers licences, identity cards...

Google, Meta, etc: Well, we will still blatantly disregard and circumvent your no social media for 16-year-olds policy.

But we do like the idea of everyone giving us even more information about themselves. The law's the law, right?

Australian government: I mean, it will be done through neutral 3rd parties...

Google, Meta, etc: Oh we totally understand. Google Play Secure Identity Verification and Meta for Business Age Verification will totally be organised into separate holding companies.

We uphold the law in every jurisdiction we work in after all...

With the time, Canonical has grown and created internal structures as a big-tech, especially how employees are evaluated. With my mostly external work I got a victim of it and they laid me off. All my colleagues do not really understand why I got fired, as they consider my work really important. Got ~30 "I am really sad that you have to go, you do not deserve it, you are doing great work" answers to my good-bye e-mail

The EU’s prototype age verification app is under fire for planning to use Google’s Play Integrity API 🔍

Critics say this could restrict non-Google Android users, harm digital sovereignty, and contradict the EU’s own antitrust stance 🇪🇺

Developers are urging alternatives like Yivi, which work without Google’s ecosystem 🛡️
