Oggi ho conosciuto in una sala i attesa una persona che non avevo mai visto prima.
Siamo arrivati a parlare di ransomware e fughe di dati e mi sono reso conto che conosceva argomenti come #chatcontrol, realtà come #EFF, campagne come #reclaimyourface. Tutta roba che non passa sui giornali...
Così gli ho chiesto dove si informasse e mi ha fatto vedere che segue il mio canale Telegram https://t.me/ppInforma 😂😂😂
(no: ero imbarazzato e non gli ho detto che ero io a gestirlo)

I assume my #EFF friends are up on this, but I had not realized that the rise of the FBI and modern “scientific” policing were so intimately tied in to turn of the 1900s anarchist terrorism (including use of TNT). The new book on this is great so far; a bit pop history but a good enough one that it makes me want to seek out deeper sourcing on some of it, and maybe add it to my pile of recommendations on “tech that changed society”. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/715495/the-infernal-machine-by-steven-johnson/
The early results declared in South Africa’s election suggest the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party could lose its majority for the first time in 30 years. With results in from 13% of polling stations at 10 a.m. local time, support for the ANC stood at 42.5%....
I hooked my GNU/Linux-loving son up with an old #lenovo#thinkcenter mini-PC that I picked up at a used AV store for about $50. For another $20, I upgraded the ram to 12GB.
He's got it setup it up with #debian as his first home server, with which he's now hosting a few static websites and an internet radio station for his friends and family. He's got loads of resources to spare for when he gets into running larger services.
You don't need to spend $30+ a month on cloud services when an old recycled office PC will more than suffice.
The best part? Helping him troubleshoot his problems with #DNS and #nginx and all that fun stuff. I've already made every mistake possible over the decades, and he gets to benefit from that. That how it should work!

"...a process called certification allows the U.S. to strong-arm signatory countries into enacting the most severe interpretation of the agreement's digital policy terms by withholding any benefits under the agreement until they do so. That's why these new agreements pose a bigger threat than all the previous trade deals combined."
"That brings us to the biggest change in the Atlas since our launch in 2018. This week, we removed 2,530 data points: an entire category of surveillance. With the announcement from Amazon that its home surveillance company Ring will no longer facilitate warrantless requests for consumer video footage, we've decided to sunset that particular dataset."
Gee whiz. Massive abusive tech surveillance company doesn't do what they promised. Shocking NO ONE.

Meta is now automatically muting all posts that mention PixelFed, so it's users can't read about any alternatives to its services.

And if you want proof, ask the general public what Jabber/XMPP was, and then ask what Google how they killed it.

EDIT #2: Some peppe are saying it doesn't happen anymore, but since it only happened to competitors to Facebook and only after people noticed, I don't think it was a "bug" that only impacted FOSS replacements, but a feature for Facebook removed. Don't give these Zuckers gaslight and think they remain innocent.
"It’s really simple, and we’re by far not the only (or the first) people to suggest the radical idea that we just not integrate computer decision making into many important decisions”
"It’s not just Big Tech that’s playing for all the marbles - it’s also the systems of democratic control and accountability. If Apple can sabotage the DMA’s insistence on taking away its veto over its customers’ software choices, that will spill over into the US Department of Justice’s case over the same issue, as well as the cases in Japan and South Korea."
