@conservancy might go after you.
Also, there are people (if not you, then plenty of others) who care about doing the right thing, keeping their promises.
And it works in practice. For example, the GPL has helped Linux take over the world.
Do you have any plans for next weekend yet?

@dos cool! So with this device you can connect a charger to the Librem5 to charge it and at the same time connect another USB thingy, like a keyboard or flash drive or whatever?

@neil Something like this is going on here in Sweden also.
There is a pretty severe problem with this, in that it will be logical for the state to encourage (or force) its citizens to use insecure computers/phones/etc., so that the state can hack them.
I would have preferred to live in a world where the state would help its citizens stay secure. Now we are instead getting a situation where the state is establishing itself as one of the aggressors from which I will need to protect myself. 😐
@neil interesting!

They say "irresponsible use" implying that they also think there is such a thing as "responsible" use.

So the states see themselves as customers. maybe for example "responsibly" using things like Pegasus to spy on their citizens?

@nozze blä usch verkligen hemsk mening det där, "Mer AI och ansiktsigenkänning i polisens arbete". Här kombineras flera av regeringens dåliga egenskaper: ren idioti ("mer AI") kombineras med fascism ("mer makt till polisen, vi skiter i mänskliga rättigheter") 😠
Hur långt är det till nästa val?
Well, here I am #mastodon. I never thought the day would come, but I've decided to join a different social media platform.
To be honest, I'm really sick of #twitter or #x (whatever) and all the bullshit that happens on that shitty site. Even though most of my memories and followers are over there, let's see how this goes.

But then the US government should stop committing crimes and instead thank him for his patriotic actions? I don't see the logic in him ending up in Russia as an end result.
