In Facebooks Trackingtools steckt eine wenig beachtete technisch-juristische Schwachstelle (👏 Paul-Oliver Dehaye). Betroffene können damit universell gegen Websites oder Apps mit Facebook-Tracker vorgehen. Selbst wenn vorher eine Einwilligung eingeholt wurde. https://rufposten.de/blog/2019/10/20/das-universalmittel-gegen-facebook-tracking/

Das Argument der Einsparung von Klimagasen greift nicht für #Elektroauto, das mit regenerativer Energie unterwegs ist.

Vielleicht wäre folgendes ein Stupser hin zum Elektroautos (in Österreich dürfen Elektroautos im Rahmen eines Luftreinhalteplans schneller fahren - 130 statt 100 auf Autobahnen).

Warum sollen sie für Probleme mitverantwortlich gemacht werden, die man Fahrzeugen mit Verbrennungsmotor anlastet?

Ein neuer #Tempolimit-Anlauf sollte differenzierter sein.

spent the better part of the day theming my phone's home screen...

I literally cried at hearing someone else say this out loud. My deepest fear is that I've wasted decades of my life, promoting tools that make the world worse, while trying to help make it better. But imagine the kind of unmitigated hellscape the state-corporate system could have built with digital technology, if there hadn't been thousands (millions?) of us pushing back against that, and towards our visions of it's best possible outcomes.

Good grief!

I was joking earlier about BoJo struggling with the difficult middle section of his letter to the EU (see up thread).

Boris has copied and pasted the text from the Benn Act (including the quote marks) for his letter. He has also omitted his *signature*.

See you in court, Boris.
Ha ha ha ha.

Note: the letter states "Mr. President", so, it will be going to Donald Tusk.

Vielen, vielen Dank da draußen an den Geräten! Jetzt bitte die Spenden langsam zurückfahren, in 30 h sind knapp 100.000 € für die Kurden eingegangen. Wir werden also 210.000 € nach Syrien schicken - und bedanken uns artig bei CDU und SPD für je 30.000 € Unterstützung, Smiley! https://twitter.com/martinsonneborn/status/1184740155988553728

The freedom open-source software gives you may be priceless, but that doesn't mean you can't support developers nor should you take their work for granted.

Support your favorite open-source projects and their developers! Give them a chance to become self-sustainable! Lots of small contributions can make all the difference!

Do it, become part of the greater common good. It's not everyday you get to participate in a revolution! 😄

(No, I won't get tired of repeating this message. It's important)

How to tell a true friend: they strip the tracking identifiers and amp junk from a url before sharing it with you.

*Update on the Mu computer*

I just wrote up a summary of state of Mu, in two parts.

Part 1 summarizes the past year as a sequence of major design decisions:

Part 2 is a sketch of what I plan to build next, again structured as a sequence of design decisions:

(The flow from design constraints to decisions is inspired by Christopher Alexander: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notes_on_the_Synthesis_of_Form)

Any and all feedback appreciated. I'd like it to be clear to any programmer.

Your phone's wifi signal can be used to identify your gait (way you walk). Your gait is unique enough that it can be used to identify you. If there is prior video footage of view, it can be matched to that too. Impressive research, scary implications https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/10/07/wi-fi-signals-let-researchers-id-people-through-walls-from-their-gait/

Cryptographer Matthew Green on a change Apple made in iOS13: "Apple is sharing some portion of your web browsing history with the Chinese conglomerate Tencent. This is being done as part of Apple’s “Fraudulent Website Warning”, which uses the Google-developed Safe Browsing technology as the back end."

Giving users the power to moderate their own feeds is the key. Centralized moderation will always be flawed--a company can never represent your sensitivities as well as you and your peers (and will likely bow to outside pressure to censor, whether it's China or groups of users).

This policy demand from 2015 might today be more relevant than it was back then:

We need "a restriction on technological restrictions"

A disturbing series of previously secret court rulings confirm what we’ve long known: the government can’t conduct mass surveillance and comply with the Fourth Amendment. It’s time to end Section 702. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/secret-court-rules-fbis-backdoor-searches-americans-violated-fourth-amendment

can this be the standard icon for responsive design?

In attempting to silence protests that lie outside the Firewall, in full view of the rest of the world, China is revealing the tools countries can use to silence dissent or criticism worldwide. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/chinas-global-reach-surveillance-and-censorship-beyond-great-firewall
