5 March 1945 | Shlomo Dragon, former Sonderkommando prisoner, recovered the manuscript of Załmen Gradowski near the ruins of gas chamber & crematorium III at Auschwitz II-Birkenau. This unique account is published based on a new translation: E-book: books.auschwitz.org/en_US/p/E-

@Faket @EUCommission Many voters already hate the push toward electric cars. They vote for extremist parties as a form of protest. If mainstream politicians were to push for eliminating cars altogether, EU members would quickly switch from being centrist democracies to being extremist quasi-dictatorships.

@gunstick @EUCommission There is no killswitch, but US could achieve the same goal by refusing to provide spare parts, ammunition, generation of new encryption keys, and other forms of support. Especially air forces would be very vulnerable to this.

@gpilz @EUCommission As far as I know, thanks to public healthcare, we spend less money on healthcare than the US, not more. US system with layers upon layers of intermediaries is costly and inefficient.

@chbmeyer @EUCommission This. We need to expand our use of open source software to replace foreign proprietary software. This is how we can restore control, our digital autonomy.

@radwan @noelreports Accidentally killing civilians when attacking legitimate targets is not considered a war crime, which is why Russia can get away with regularly killing Ukrainian civilians in air strikes.

“Your driving data goes to a half a dozen companies you’ve never even heard of for reasons you’d perhaps never agree to if asked directly,” EFF’s @Thorin told @ConsumerReports. consumerreports.org/electronic

The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org. Together with his team, he supports open-source, free solutions — funded by the EU. But that could soon come to an end.

@fdroidorg It's a shame that FUTO Keyboard is under a custom noncommercial use license rather than a proper free software license.

@EUCommission Monitoring is huge. So many policies are introduced without ever monitoring their effects.

@davidrevoy I still use Firefox, but I disabled sending any data to Mozilla.

Thanks for not contributing to Chromium monopoly. :)

28 February 1920 | A Polish woman Anna Smoleńska was born. She was a scout, a student of art history, and the author or co-author of the 'Fighting Poland' sign.

In #Auschwitz from 27 November 1942.
No. 26008
She perished in the camp on 19 March 1943.

@Gurre @noelreports Russians are decreasing their use of armored vehicles because their stocks are dwindling. They are also building two new armies, so plenty of vehicles were diverted there.

If you look at personnel losses, 1150 is still a lot.

@noelreports That's great! Those glide bombs had a huge impact.

@7sleepersmusic @EUCommission I'm not too upset. Leaders are temporary and change often.

@GrapheneOS Good thing that US does not recognize database "rights". EU and UK do, for example.

@noelreports His words mean nothing to him, it should have been obvious for many years now. It's a deliberate tactic.

@eighthave @kriom Most of the time language will be heavily correlated with IP address, so I'm not sure how much sense it makes to hide it when you can deduce it from IP.

@itsfoss They can't install it. But when I gave people devices with Linux on it, they were perfectly happy. They only use Firefox and LibreOffice anyway.

@rafal_s @EUCommission Considering recent statements coming from the US, perhaps power plants are not the only nuclear thing we should build?
