"Vi har gått med på mycket i Tidösamarbetet och blivit en svagare röst i värdegrundsfrågorna som vi nu behöver ta tillbaka."
Bra att han säger det, men ett rätt stort problem för L nu är att de har ju visat att de inte är att lita på när det gäller värdegrundsfrågorna. Lite grejen med värdegrund tänker jag är att det är just en värdegrund, alltså det är en grund man står på, det är inget man plötsligt överger och sen eventuellt tar tillbaka senare.

I'll be talking about #postmarketOS at the next Portland Linux/Unix Group (PLUG) meeting on Thursday April 3rd, come on down if you're in the area 😁

@waspfactory ja det tror jag, men jag har inte använt det själv på det sättet så lita inte för mycket på mig där 🙂
Men jag tror de är tänkta att fungera så, alltså man kan sätta upp det så att en viss mapp ska synkas och man behöver sen inte göra något särskilt för att säga till varje gång det ska synkas utan det sker ändå, som att den automatiskt kollar var 5e minut om något ändrats, eller liknande.

GitHub has gone - long live Forgejo (@forgejo).
Fully migrated out of Microsoft’s walled garden after they blocked us:
- 54k commits
- 9.5k issues
- 4.3k pull requests
- 100k comments
Everything moved. Nothing left behind.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to do the "the police are not your friends" talk this early to my kids.
Does Sweden have a right to silence? When can my kids simply walk away from a police officer who wants to ask them questions?
I chose to move to Sweden in part because I enjoyed not being watched police surveillance cameras (big minus for the UK).
Now they are setting up recording cameras on the main square. I don't know what they record, or my rights to object or delete data.
"Virtue or Vice? A First Look at Paragon’s Proliferating Spyware Operations"
https://citizenlab.ca/2025/03/a-first-look-at-paragons-proliferating-spyware-operations/
"This report is a first step towards understanding the scope and scale of potential Paragon spyware abuses. The 90-some targets notified by WhatsApp likely represent a fraction of the total number of Paragon cases. Yet, in the cases already investigated, there is a troubling and familiar pattern of targeting human rights groups, government critics, and journalists."

"Den svenske reportern Joakim Medin var på plats för att skildra det stora politiska skeendet. Att Erdogans hårdföra regim inte uppskattar det är tydligt.
Den svenska regeringen måste sätta stark press på Turkiet så att den svenske journalisten kan åka hem."
ETCs Joakim Medin försvunnen i Turkiet
Swedish police want to dismantle human rights. They want to change the laws to allow secret state surveillance of all children.

This is wrong in so many ways. What pisses me off most is that the police don't understand their own role in society. OK clearly they don't like human rights but it's anyway not their job to design laws. The police should not lobby to change laws, they should apply the law that exists. The parliament makes laws.
Grrrrr 😠

"They listened—not only to French digital rights organizations and technologists, but also to basic principles of cybersecurity and civil liberties. They understood that encryption protects everyone, not just activists and dissidents, but also journalists, medical professionals, abuse survivors, and ordinary citizens trying to live private lives in an increasingly surveilled world."

I think many of them have not yet realised that, no.
I'm afraid also that many of them don't care, which is rather frightening.
It's really difficult to understand what is happening in the world right now, but I think you're right that the US has lost all credibility and it will not be able to recover. 😕
