Today, 20 September 2024, is the last day to take part in the EU consultation where everyone can have a say, as FSFE explain here:
"Bring Back Free Software Funding: Give Your Feedback to the European Commission"
https://fsfe.org/news/2024/news-20240911-02.en.html
I just filled it out, it's quite easy, so now my opionions ("the EU should support Free Software more!") will be in there.
For those reading this, if in the EU: Please take part you too! Today is your last chance. Do it!
@wetterbom följ mig! 🙂
"Vi påstår oss ofta ha lärt oss av det förra århundradets auktoritära regimer, och pratar om “aldrig mer”. Men diskussionen fastnar gärna vid vad de auktoritära regimerna gjorde när de regerat under lång tid, och vunnit full kontroll att styra utan motstånd från andra politiska krafter.
Varje auktoritär utveckling börjar någonstans. Och i efterhand förbannar många att de inte stoppade den i tid. "
Nu krävs ditt motstånd mot auktoritär utveckling | Dagens ETC

@heinragas it's also a hint that people should stay away from those tech companies and stop using their shitty products, whether in the EU or not.
@burnoutqueen what a weird thing to say. I'm in shock.
Don't forget to put IMPLICIT NONE in there.
Vi i Kamratdataföreningen Konstellationen släpper rapporten Kluvna tungor, som handlar om hur riksdagspartierna kommunicerat och agerat i Chat Control.
Vi redogör också svaren på enkäten vi skickade.
C, V, MP och SD svarade på enkäten. De svarade alla “ja” på våra frågor och har därmed tagit tydligt ställning mot Chat Control och massövervakning.
S, M, KD och L svarade inte på enkäten trots flera påminnelser.
@echo_pbreyer “Funny” how the green swab coincides with living memory of state surveilance terror.

@agx wow! How? Is it something with how Calls and Chatty are processing the long list of conversations or calls before they manage to show the list on screen?

@tante in my opinion, more attention should be given to the lie that is in the name "OpenAI". It is not "open". At all.
It's not okay to call something "open" (because calling it "open" sounds good?) when it is in fact the opposite. This alone should be enough for people to boycott it.
