@nekohayo I can't believe just how unhinged the debate around those parental controls is.

Congrats on a great release 🎉

This bit about ruining the basis of the market reminded me of @pluralistic 's take: "AI can't do your job, but an AI salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with a chatbot that can't do your job."

Problem z temi obojimi je, da kljub dobrim idejam ne kažejo organizacijske/politične sposobnosti potrebne za izpeljavo teh idej.

Bi pa bilo fajn jih met kot manjšino v vladi, ja :)

Chat Control gets another defeat it seems: MEPs in EU Parliament voted against untargeted mass surveillance.

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.

😵 🤯 Last year a #Meta Lobbyist became a new head of the #Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC). Today, the former head of the DPC announced that she is now working for MHC - the Irish law firm for Meta that was previously defending Meta before the #DPC in #GPDR cases - basically a 360° seat swap between the Irish regulator and Meta.

This is not just extreme #CorporateCapture of a regulator and makes #Ireland a laughing stock within the EU, but moves like this also undermine any public...

@denzilferreira Stratum (previously Authenticator Pro) is open source and works just fine. It does have a guide of transferring from Google one.

Allows easy backup so you don't get locked in again as well :)

@grote haha, I'm lucky that it still uses DDR3 so it was like 40€

Poor people with DDR4 tho.

CoMaps - Hike, Bike, DriveMar 1

Since the #39c3 in December, every first Sunday of the month has been a "Digital Independence Day" for trying out alternatives to dominant/big tech platforms.

If you're looking to explore alternatives to Google or Apple Maps, why not give CoMaps – or any of the other open source map-applications that are based on data from #OpenStreetMap – a try!

You can learn more about the #DIDay here: https://edri.org/our-work/didit-edri-members-spark-movement-for-alternatives-to-big-tech/
