If you don't want your Mullvad fees going to fund neo-Nazis - or @mozilla VPN fees, which is rebranded Mullvad - cancel and get a refund immediately

that's whose "free speech" the official account is talking about here, and that's where your fees go to

EDIT: Mullvad has a 14 day refund policy. But the message below is a direct call to ask for a refund if you don't want to give money to Nazis.

If Mullvad refuse a refund, call your consumer protection agency. And reverse credit card charges on the basis of deceptive refund policy representations. It's not like you ever want to be a Mullvad customer again.

That's absolutely sad to read. The CEO of @mullvadnet is not only financing the far-right Swedish Örebro party, but he even is their main financer. 70+% of their money is his donation. He is the reason why they go nationwide this year.

For obvious reasons i cease to trust this service. Also i do not finance parties that aim for forced deportations.

Pourquoi les appels à la régulation de l’IA sont une illusion dangereuse

Les appels et les textes se multiplient pour réclamer une « bonne » intelligence artificielle. Mais le problème est plus profond : c’est dans son principe même, dans sa fonction sociale, que cette technologie est néfaste.

OpenAI losses in 2024: 5.1Bn
OpenAI losses in 2025: 38.5Bn

LLMs are not just unethically trained, environmentally unsustainable, helplessly unreliable and psychologically dangerous, they're also a bottomless money pit. The only company making a cent on this gold rush is the shovel vendors, aka Nvidia.

Maintaining a project on microsoft/azure github seems as bad as maintaining a profile on X. Reputational damage for maintaining a github repo will hopefully catch up to reality soon.

It's bonkers that we let the free/open source community get so comprehensively captured by closed source, inhumane corporate tech.

If your community on there doesn't have an exit plan, it might be worth applying some pressure !

J’ai codé un petit moteur de recherche pour savoir rapidement quelles ROMs #android alternatives sont compatibles avec un smartphone ou une tablette pour les degoogliser

LineageOS, /e/OS, GrapheneOS..?

Tu tapes ton modèle et tu vois directement ce qui existe pour dégoogliser ton appareil 🔎

Pour celles et ceux qui veulent sauter le pas et libérer leur #smartphone ou juste pour redonner une seconde vie à un vieux téléphone 🙂
