  • US orders diplomats to fight EU data sovereignty initiatives

    Jump

  • Don't just buy European. Support FOSS, because that's the only sustainable option we have.

  • UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully

  • Or just prosecute them criminally, like they do with the pesants

  • Dublin City Council suspends use of X as State agencies leave amid Grok controversy

  • It would be great to see them supporting democratic alternatives aswell and start posting on Mastodon, but they probably don't even know that it exists, which is a bit sad.

  • LibreOffice Leave X/Twitter in favor of Mastodon

  • I mean it doesn't really matter that much, I am currently on kind.social, because I like the name.

    I would suggest you use fedi.garden to find your own server.

  • Why Are Young Brits So Left-Wing?

    Jump

  • Yeah, but also knowlege and curiosity to not just accept simple answers about how the world works.

    My point was that left wing beliefs are founded in truth while right wing beliefs are founded in ignorance.

  • I think people in uni are more left wing, because education and understanding the world almost necessarily makes you more left wing.

    But pot also helps, true ;)

  • I bought a used Pixel 7a for 150€ from Kleinanzeigen (like Craigslist) and it works great.

    You don't have to buy the newest stuff, older tech still works fine and is often dramatically cheaper.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • Yup. And also we should advocate for our rights more locally. Organize with other people, raise awareness and do direct action.

    I think the most effective form of resistance is relationships and new local organisations and new structures that resist the forces of the state and of capitalism.

    If you are looking for some ideas, maybey you can look here or do your own research.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't think it's reasonable to give up in the face of it.

    You should make it as hard as possible for them to track you, use private OpenSource software, advocate for it and don't be afraid if direct action, like destroying these cameras. The more people that do it, the harder it will be for them to do something about it.

  • I habe been at all three of these stages in my life, so this seems pretty accurate

  • I wrote a blog post on selfhostesd software to be more organized

  • Oh no, haven't thought of that, thanks!

  • Gov. Newsom expanded free preschool. Now private daycares say they can’t afford to stay open

    Jump

  • Well, womp womp I guess.

    But also, am I the only one surprised, that Gavin Newsom of all people did this? The guy that had Steve Bannon on his podcast just to congratulate him on his strategy? The guy that he would definetly veto the idea of his own party to introduce a minor wealth tax?

    Perhaps this is an incincere attempt at coasting of Mamdanis polulartiy? In any case, I will continue to despise the guy, because I refuse to believe that this decision was based on any real beliefs on his part.

  • Password managers are less secure than promised

    Jump

  • I understand, but wouldn't the same problem occur, if the server for the website you download your software from or the server for your package manager would be compromised? Even if you would buy your software physically on a CD, there would be a chance someone has messed with the content on a CD.

    So I don't really see this as a flaw unique to browsers. Am I wrong?

  • This comment shows that you know less about computers, than you may think. You can definetly make end to end encryption work using a Website. JavaScript runs client side. So as long as you trust the encryption algorithm (which in elements case you definetly can, because it is OSS), the encryption is safe and your unencrypted data never leaves the device.

  • There is nothing wrong with solar + batteries, because battery prices (like solar) have been falling massively in the last few years. So solar + enough battery capacity is still dramatically cheaper that fossil fuels. Just look at what South Australian has been doing in the last few years.
