Tycker du också att situationen #BankID i #Sverige behöver förändras? Är du trött på att samhället kan riskeras slå ut om BankID drabbas av cyberattack? Har du eller bekanta behövt göra sig av med en fullt fungerande mobil eller dator för att den inte längre fungerar med BankID?
Under SamNet #2 den 18 januari kommer @eliasr och Gustav Eek presentera "Fri och öppen e-legitimation" som görs i DFRI.

Collaboration!
I am engaged in a bug report as an end user for a free and open source software that started half a year ago. A couple of days ago one of the developers needed som further investigation to nail down the root cause. I have submitted some test results, it was testing that required beyond my comfortable knowledge level. I could do a small contribution to make the software better. Openness and collaboration; strengths of open source! #openSource #FOSS #collaboration

The 37th Chaos Communication Congress (37C3) is ongoing right now. I'm not there unfortunately but luckily there are some videos available here: https://media.ccc.de/b/congress/2023
37C3 is about "information technology and generally a critical-creative attitude towards technology and the discussion about the effects of technological advances on society": https://events.ccc.de/congress/2023/infos/index.html
For those who are there, which are your favourite talks so far?
I liked this one: https://media.ccc.de/v/37c3-12004-please_identify_yourself

NGI TALER — Privacy-preserving digital payments: https://nlnet.nl/taler/
If that can preserve the properties of #GNU Taler, that may become awesome!
#GNU_Taler actually does digital payments right — digital cash: no blockchain, no tax-evasion, but full privacy for buyers and minimal cost.
They’ve been working on it for years and years and now the #EU enables to scale that up to full EU- and Swiss-level payments!
Huge thanks to @NGIZero !
Reading this today: "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau, first published in 1849.
Thoreau was interested in right and wrong. He considered slavery to be wrong. Slavery was legal in the society he lived in (USA 1849).
"Under a government which imprisons anyone unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."
If you lived in a society upholding something as appalling as slavery, would you still support that state by paying taxes?
A relevant question, then and now.

Reading "On Revolution" by Hannah Arendt.
There's something charming about a footnote taking up almost the whole page 206. 🙂
That footnote is about the source of authority when a new form of government is formed.
Old: "authority comes from god".
New: authority comes from mutual agreement between groups of people.
That assumption about the source of authority is a key part in the US Declaration of Independence, but existed earlier.
Anyway, I warmly recommend this book.
