1/3 🎉 Today, Members of the European Parliament held strong in their rejection of #MassSurveillance in the ePrivacy derogation (sometimes called #ChatControl 1.0)!

In case you missed it, the Parliament took an unprecedented do-over vote on their position on the ePrivacy derogation today after days of shocking developments... 🧵

This video was released by #Forbrukerrådet, the Norwegian #Consumer Council, a few days ago

It imagines the career trajectory of an "enshittificator"

It was hard for him to enshittify minor aspects of daily life in person, but became easy for him to do so at scale once he embraced the #Internet and #technology

It's genius #satire

Trump ran an entire campagin on “No more stupid wars”, and “America First”, only to rename The Department of Defence to The Department of War, and proceed to attack both Venezuela and Iran, while constantly being offended that he is not offered The Nobel Peace Prize.

The US is led by the insane.

Decided to stop lurking and start posting here.

I like thoughtful conversations and the quieter corners of the internet where people actually talk like humans.

Offline I enjoy hiking, travel and reading. I used to work in theatre and still love art. These days I’m learning software development. I spend time with friends over board games or the occasional Dungeons & Dragons session I DM.

Still figuring this place out, but it already feels better than most social media.

My team is still hiring (currently interviewing). It's proving hard to find the right candidate for this role.

If you're a strong Python and JS developer, with experience in localization or even an interest on the topic, please apply. We're mainly looking for people located in Europe or Canada (East Coast), to maximize time zone overlap.

Some of my favorite international political cartoons from @cartoonmovement this week, by Matthew Fuller, Deb Milbrath, Gatis Sluka and Franco Juri.

Sometimes, people on Facebook don't know the Fediverse exists.
The European Commission likes to tell them. 💜 😉
