Today, I am a grown up on #Wikimedia Commons. 18 years ago today, I created the account. On average, I have uploaded a little bit more than one file per day since then and edited just above another four times per day.

Har noterat att Sveriges migrationsdebatt fortfarande handlar om vem som bär ansvaret för det förkastliga beslutet att hjälpa människor i kris.

Värdigt.

"Many young students have a talent for programming; they are fascinated with computers and eager to learn how their systems work. With proprietary software, this information is a secret so teachers have no way of making it available to their students. But if it's free software, the teacher can explain the basic subject and then hand out the source code for the student to read and learn." gnu.org/education/edu-why.html #LearnLibre #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom

I am attending the #SamNet conference today. The morning sessions discussed 2 EU proposals: chat control and eIDAS.

I wrote about my objections to specific details in both proposals.

Fighting CSAM is important. Interoperable digital identification is important. Both can be accomplished in a way that strengthens society without undermining the fundamental human right to privacy. The details matter.

Idag var jag på en hoppingivande konferens. Befriande klarspråk från alla föreläsare om verkliga problem med den uppkopplade vardagen. Men också kloka lösningar och en beslutsamhet i att skapa en mer öppen, robust, demokratisk och rättvis (digital) värld. Tack ni som arrangerade #samnet! Här hamnar nog inspelningarna och annan info: samnet.se/

Mycket viktigt när både regeringen inklusive SD samt S börjat prata om medborgarskap som ett tillfälligt tillstånd.

MS--Open AI's ~parent company--already has massive US military contracts. This is the biz model.

This news is also one more alarm re. the current AI paradigm, its reliance on concentrated corp power, & the undemocratic decision making power this gives these (primarily) US-based corps.

The first two pigs then fled to the third little pig's house, where the Big Blonde Fascist was unable to get in.

"Please let us in!", they said. "We are fucked! We will pay you anything you ask, just please let us in!"

"Welcome inside", the third little pig said. "You don't need to pay anything. The tools used to build this house are all , you can use those tools any time you want."

And they lived happily ever after, all enjoying the same freedom as the third little pig.

Then, one day, came the Big Blonde Fascist.

The Big Blonde Fascist went to the first little pig's house and said: "I don't even need to huff or puff here, I'll just ask Apple to hand over the keys". Apple made a rational business decision and handed over the keys after about two seconds. The first little pig was kicked out.

Then the Big Blonde Fascist went to the second little pig's house and similarly got the keys from Google, so the second little pig was also left without a house.
