@marcusosterberg it's one of the aspects I despise most about all the recent "AI" stuff going on: huge companies take the work of others, mix it up and present the results as their own making, without proper references.
If an individual copies something through file sharing or similar, that is often considered immoral, illegal etc. But when a large company does things like that, then suddenly it's okay?!
Those companies get away with it because they are too big, they have way too much power.
@dhabecker I solved it! I think 🙂
@fiaewald helt patetiskt, jag skäms över att ha en sån total nolla som utrikesminister. Blä.
Andra partier borde KU-anmäla det där.

Det behöver inte alltid handla om ideologi, kan också vara helt vanlig korruption.
Privata aktörer tjänar stora pengar på att vissa politiska beslut fattas, en del av de pengarna kan direkt eller indirekt hamna hos de politiker som fixat det hela.

My first CCC congress, such an impressive event! Come and meet us at the EDRi stand at the Bits & Bäume assembly and check out the work of the many @edri members here at #37c3 @digitalcourage @Freiheitsrechte @epicenter_works @LaQuadrature @wikimediaDE
@amarok A requirement like "if they are not receiving any financial returns" does not make sense here, who knows if someone got paid to do some work. Probably the people who wrote that do not understand the concept of free software.
As the Debian statement says, free software is a gift to society. It is a terrible idea to put burdens on those who make free software.
@hehemrin well done!

Collaboration!
I am engaged in a bug report as an end user for a free and open source software that started half a year ago. A couple of days ago one of the developers needed som further investigation to nail down the root cause. I have submitted some test results, it was testing that required beyond my comfortable knowledge level. I could do a small contribution to make the software better. Openness and collaboration; strengths of open source! #openSource #FOSS #collaboration
@frida there is always "Troy" featuring Brad Pitt as Achilles. Not sure if it's all that good, but at least it tries hard to be epic 🙂
Trying out my new #Tor project tshirt. What do you think?

@grosser_mensch wow. Which westcoast is this?
@samuel mm jag har fått intrycket att det är en väldigt kreddig tillställning i kretsar av folk som bryr sig om sånt som frihet, oberoende, fri programvara, digitala rättigheter osv. Det diskuteras spännande, rolliga saker och även viktiga saker, ur ett perspektiv som jag tycker verkar vara vad man kanske kan kalla ett äkta samhällsintresse, syftet är inte att någon ska tjäna pengar utan vad som faktiskt är viktigt på riktigt. Jag hoppas kunna vara med själv nån gång, kanske nästa år.
The 37th Chaos Communication Congress (37C3) is ongoing right now. I'm not there unfortunately but luckily there are some videos available here: https://media.ccc.de/b/congress/2023
37C3 is about "information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society": https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/infos/index.html
For those who are there, which are your favourite talks so far?
I liked this one: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12004-please_identify_yourself
Den här biten var otäck, om ordningsvakter:
"De får genomföra kroppsvisitation för att fastställa någons identitet"
När i hela friden skulle det vara befogat?
"Du ser misstänkt ut så nu ska jag kroppsvisitera dig, vilket jag har rätt till för att jag är ordningsvakt" -- är det så vi ska ha det nu?
@pergus @meraord inte samma sak som standup förstås men man kan även höra honom i podden "Stormens utveckling", ofta kul och tänkvärt: https://underproduktion.se/stormensutveckling

NGI TALER — Privacy-preserving digital payments: https://nlnet.nl/taler/
If that can preserve the properties of #GNU Taler, that may become awesome!
#GNU_Taler actually does digital payments right — digital cash: no blockchain, no tax-evasion, but full privacy for buyers and minimal cost.
They’ve been working on it for years and years and now the #EU enables to scale that up to full EU- and Swiss-level payments!
Huge thanks to @NGIZero !
Reading this today: "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849.
Thoreau was interested in right and wrong. He considered slavery to be wrong. Slavery was legal in the society he lived in (USA 1849).
"Under a government which imprisons anyone unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."
If you lived in a society upholding something as appalling as slavery, would you still support that state by paying taxes?
A relevant question, then and now.
