Happy birthday to GNU! 🎂 The GNU Project turns 40 today and has been a champion of free and open source software in all that time.
We extend a big thank you to the GNU Project for laying the groundwork for the movement, the value of which becomes more apparent with each year. Thank you!

"The Commission has been reluctant to detail the relationship between Thorn and Johansson’s cabinet under the EU’s freedom of information mechanism. [...] disclosure [...] would undermine the organisation’s commercial interest”."
So we cannot have democracy because that would hurt the "commercial interest" of those who want to sell their mass-surveillance technology to the EU.

SO good -- the best follow the money reporting on who's behind the global attack on digital privacy yet.
TLDR: it's law enforcement x AI companies posing as NGOs w a commercial interest in selling scammy mass scanning tech. Deeply cynical, deeply shady.

AI is leading to a tragedy of the commons: It is overgrazing the commons, scraping up everything it can, and is also being used to pollute the commons with untrustworthy content.
I was just sitting there minding my own business, watching the kids football game IFK Bergshamra - IF Brommapojkarna 6 earlier today, when suddenly this little fellow being landed on my knee. #dragonfly #trollslända #ShotOnLibrem5

40 years ago the GNU Project — to develop the GNU operating system — was launched and gave birth to the Free Software movement, and Free Software has since become the cornerstone of modern computing.

In English: "Chatcontrol is madness – that Sweden supports the mass surveillance is a scandal"
I was at a ChopChop restaurant earlier this evening. One of their big screens that normally show order numbers and such things instead showed this, revealing that the restaurant uses Raspberry Pi 4 Model B for that.
For some reason seeing that made me happy, I got a feeling that there is hope, or something. 🙂

Databases are overrated, just write everything to a .txt file
Just prepared this sign to bring to the demonstration against #ChatControl that starts at 18:00 tonight at Mynttorget in Stockholm.
I hope you are coming too!

Nu är banderollen klar till morgondagens demo mot massövervakningen. Med så snygg banderoll måste vi ju vinna den här fajten :)
Kom på demon i morgon!

#Debatt: Riksdagen måste säga nej till Chat Control 2.0
Förslaget är ett uppenbart brott mot de mänskliga rättigheterna och EU-nämnden i Sveriges riksdag måste därför säga nej. Det finns acceptabla alternativ till #ChatControl2.
Det skriver @karlemilnikka , @mattiasaxell , Oscar Swartz , Erik Lakomaa Erik Lakomaa och Henrik Alexandersson.
