Swedish physicist and physical chemist Svante Arrhenius died #OTD in 1927. Arrhenius was the first to use the principles of physical chemistry to estimate the extent to which increases in the atmospheric carbon dioxide are responsible for the Earth's increasing surface temperature. His work played an important role in the emergence of modern climate science.

I want to show kids some good things about the internet. This is hard because there is so much bad, difficult and outright dangerous stuff out there. Looking for healthy things, the kind that do not involve any Big Tech company's sphere of influence.

So far I came up with these two things:

- Wikipedia
- OpenStreetMap

Are those good choices?

What else do you recommend?

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!

Quote:

"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.

Isobel Hadley-Kamptz: "Chatcontrol är galenskap – att Sverige stöder massövervakningen är en skandal" -- ledartext i DN idag

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. 🙂

Do we have t-shirts / hoodies to show that we want to #StopChatcontrol? Any help appreciated #chatcontol fighters?
