»Verkehr: Warum eigentlich ist Falschparken viel billiger als Schwarzfahren? | Meinung«

https://www.fr.de/meinung/glitzernde-karossen-innovation-13130064.html

»Es ist schon komisch, dass nichtzahlende Parker gerade mal mit 10 oder 15 Euro zur Kasse gebeten werden. Ein nichtzahlender ÖPNV-Nutzer muss dagegen, wird er erwischt, ein Mehrfaches hinblättern. Dabei tut er immerhin etwas für die Umwelt, während der Falschparker sie belastet, weil er gegen alle Vernunft mit dem Auto zum Wochenmarkt fährt.«

Thanks @gnome for the great work you do for everyone as we all benefit. By taking action on behalf of the opensource ecosystem against patent trolls it helps make the world a better place for all (maybe not the trolls though). Remember because of @purism and GNOME we finally have a great mobile phone UI. Shout out to KDE, UBUNTU touch, Pine64 and others helping linux on mobile become a safe alternative reality for all!

This distressing account by @CraigMurrayOrg of what took place at Julian Assange's case management hearing yesterday, is enough to make you weep and boil with rage at the appalling injustice. 4/5

Help GNOME fight a patent troll. It's in interest of all #FOSS projects. If patent trolls see that FOSS projects are an easy target, such attacts will go on. https://twitter.com/gnome/status/1186412835083042817

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:

http://akkartik.name/post/mu-2019-2

(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/
