š£ Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
Courage. Resilience. Freedom.
Ukraineās flag carries them all.
On Ukraineās Flag Day, it proudly stands before our Brussels headquarters.
A strong signal that Europe continues to stand united united on Ukraine's side for a just and lasting peace. Today, like every day.

tl;dr: The European Commission is honestly asking for experts to advise them on ways to institute āeffective and lawful access to data for law enforcementā. If you are an expert, I urge you to apply to join this group. You have until September 1st. Do read on for more details! The never-ending battle where police and intelligence services demand more/total access to communications shows no sign of stopping, even in the face of mathematical and practical impossibilities.
My kid just WhatsApped from his German exchange trip. They had to call an ambulance for him.
He has food poisoning, was very pale and nauseous. He was dehydrated and his blood pressure was dropping.
He's fine now but I wanted to share this because it has the most Western Europe Is a Civilized Place ending ever.
The paramedics came to the mall, took him into the ambulance, gave him an IV, checked him out, stayed with him until he felt better, then told him "No charge. Enjoy your trip to Germany." And if that wasn't enough, when they realized the group had had to move onto the train station without him, they gave him a ride over there to catch up with them.
I'm so ground down by the predatory realities of America in general in 2025 that this just about blew my fucking mind.
Due to a quite unfortunate bug in Little Snitch 6.2.1, automatic software update checks may not work for some users, so they arenāt notified about future fixes and updates anymore.
If you are using 6.2.1, please perform a manual check to get 6.2.2 which fixes this issue.
Please boost to notify others who might also be affected by this bug. Thanks a lot! š

A minor, seemingly insignificant change in Little Snitch 6.2.1 resulted in a rather unfortunate bug: If you have that version installed, chances are that automatic checks for new versions of Little Snitch are no longer performed, so you wonāt getā¦
It appears, UK Prime Minister Starmer still has not understood, the US is out of the alliance. Starmer:
"The UK will work to ensure we keep the US and Europe together. We cannot allow any divisions in the alliance to distract from the external enemies we face."
In my view, the solution is not to fantasize that Trump could be Biden. The solution is to realize that the US that was is gone, and Europe must now carry the torch of freedom on its own.
It costs around $50 million every year to ensure Signal is robust and available all over the world for anyone whenever they need it.
And as a nonprofit, that money comes from all of you; the people who believe that we all deserve a place to speak freely.
