@geerlingguy ok, maybe this comes down to what you mean by the word "freedom" then.

Like, if you think a person is "free" as long as they are not physically restricted, tied with chains or something.

"You are free to do X, but you will then get the punishment Y." That is not really freedom, at least not in my opinion. 🙂

@geerlingguy I read in your post here jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/im- that "We're all being told to go sign up for a Red Hat Developer Account so we can snag our 16 licenses [...]"

What is the difference between one license and 16 licenses? One license allows you to download the source code, 16 licenses allows the same thing? I don't understand.

Anyway, the whole concept of "licenses" for software is just bad, it should not be used. They could make their money by selling support contracts instead.

@geerlingguy I think changing to GPL is a good choice 👍

Sverige joined Österreich, France, and Italia in ruling use of Google Analytics violates GDPR.

I am proud of Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY) for the ruling and being the first regulatory agency to issue fines and conclusively rule that Google’s “supplementary measures” for EU businesses are inadequate.

Thank you, @noybeu, for the legal activism strengthening GDPR as an effective consumer protection.

Hej @cynthia there you are! Cert Slayer remains a very cool title 🙂

@karlemilnikka om man tänker på partiernas ideologier (och namn) är Liberalerna det parti som borde säga allra starkast nej till förslaget. Det borde vara en självklarhet för L att säga nej.

@kyle I feel like that's a good reminder for experts (in FOSS, etc) too: Approving and praising good work by beginners helps them significantly. Don't just focus on the bad stuff!

Don't you think a developer needs at least two phones? 😉

If I'm looking for someone who is supposed to have an account on the but I never see them, and I suspect it may be because of one instance blocking another instance, what is a good way to find out? Is there something like a public list saying "this instance blocks the following instances because of xyz"?

@hehemrin jag ska till Gotland lite senare i sommar faktiskt, ska bli skoj. 🙂

Related to this (in Swedish):

That's about how Swedish police is about to get increased mandate to stop and search people who look "foreign".

If you look like a "foreigner" then the idea is that police will get the right to stop you and search you and search through your mobile phone and whatever other personal belongings you have, looking for an excuse to deport you.

I think the article in The Guardian is right that racism is at the bottom of this kind of things.

Interesting article about and :

theguardian.com/commentisfree/

"Radical antiracists argue that the only way to fight this oppression is to build autonomous organisations with the power to dismantle existing social systems and build new ones. [...] race provides a means by which capitalism can more intensively exploit certain categories of worker – the enslaved, the indentured, colonised peasantries, migrant workers – as well as justify discarding peoples deemed superfluous [...]"
