The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.
The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".
It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

@windsheep @EUCommission Tanks can't shoot down Russian drones and missiles.
@noelreports Gotta love all these useful idiots trying to make people believe that Ukraine somehow attacked itself using Russian soldiers.

@itsfoss With the emphasis on "that".
@EDPS This time with your own domain? Good, let's keep Mastodon decentralised.

🇬🇧Public pressure works: Belgium, Finland & Czechia will NOT approve the #ChatControl mass surveillance law in October. But other governments whose vote is crucial are still on the fence. Urge them to protect our digital privacy and encryption now: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-control/#WhatYouCanDo

Microsoft Word in Windows will now save new documents to the cloud by default, starting with Windows 11 version 2509. Similar changes are planned for Excel and PowerPoint https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/8/microsoft-word-will-soon-start-auto-saving-your-documents-to-the-cloud-by-default/

On this podcast, I explain the EU's #ChatControl plan: mandatory scanning of ALL private messages. This is unprecedented in a democracy. The only other country with a similar system is China—and they use it for political control. #StopScanningMe

1/3 🕵🏽 Looking for updates on the highly criticised and controversial #CSARegulation #ChatControl
Three years on, the law is still at an impasse in the Council of EU member states 🚫
🇵🇱 Poland tried a new approach to build a bridge between the two camps – but ultimately failed because the countries supporting #MassSurveillance and breaking #encryption refused to meaningfully engage 🙅🏽♀️
Read our blog to learn more about the Polish approach and the future of #ChatControl ➡️ https://edri.org/our-work/16-countries-burned-polands-bridges-on-the-csa-regulation-what-now/
@zaufanatrzeciastrona TL;DR: dotyczy to TPM 1.2 w postaci kart dyskretnych i chipów na płycie głównej. Omawiane jest podsłuchiwanie komunikacji TPM z procesorem i odzyskiwanie na tej podstawie kluczy szyfrowania dysku.
@noelreports They have only given up on things they are clearly unable to achieve through military action.

We hacked Gemini CLI, Vertex AI, Assistant, and other AI systems by embedding prompts into images that are not visible to users.
When these systems auto-downscale images, the hidden prompts emerge from previously invisible pixel patterns. https://blog.trailofbits.com/2025/08/21/weaponizing-image-scaling-against-production-ai-systems/
@EUCommission This is out of date. Current data for Poland is here: https://sk.gis.gov.pl/kapieliska/mapa
