@AliceStollmeyer Very good way of putting it. "too large a risk for our digital resilience" is a phrase that might actually be heard and understood by non-experts (like politicians) . Kudos to the dutch government-nerds! :)
Update: Netherlands' Intelligence agency advises:
#ChatControl is “too large a security risk for our digital resilience.”

6 October 1938 | An Italian Jewish boy, Carlo Polacco, was born in Genoa.
In December 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.

Det här är ju extremt! Hur kan vi ha ett samhälle där ett sådant här förslag läggs fram utan att det blir ramaskri?
Att konstant massövervaka och skanna den breda allmänheten är helt absurt. Sluta kom med sådana här förslag!

Today's project: tear-down of an old pump, trying to make it work again. It had been working fine for about 50 years, then stopped working last year. I think that had something to do with wasps building a nest in it and parts of that nest got pushed down which might have messed up the mechanism inside.
This is what we in Sweden call a "gårdstolva" - Gårdspump Nr. 12 🙂 #ShotOnLibrem5
I think this talk was two weeks ago at the 2024 Matrix Conference:
"Försäkringskassan, Matrix and Sweden’s public sector"
https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/NFCLDB/
"Försäkringskassan is using Matrix to create a cloud-based secure communications service called SAFOS (collaboration platform for the public sector) for Sweden’s public sector authorities."
Sounds interesting!
@matrix are there recordings of the conference talks available somewhere that can be watched afterwards?
Hello @EUCommission,
Can we get a #Mastodon share button at the ECI site?
I mean, the page you get after signing an European Citizens' Initiative (ECI), e.g. this one:

"Swedish government accused of trying to ‘outlaw poverty’ over begging ban plans"

This is another example of the ongoing dismantling of human rights in Sweden.
The current Swedish government is doing this together with the "Sweden Democrats" party, rooted in Nazism. But we are not supposed to talk about that.
I personally do *not* like the ongoing creation of a police state. I am ashamed of my fellow Swedish citizens who voted for this shitty, spineless government.
what's the correct way to install @signalapp on a #Fedora machine?

Is this #FlatPak repo official enough?

Hårdare straff ger inte minskad brottslighet
Hårdare straff ger inte minskad brottslighet. Under lång tid har kriminalpolitiken dominerats av upprepade krav på hårdare straff för alla möjliga brott. Lagstiftningen har stadig skärpst hela tiden. Men nån större betydelse för nivån på brottsligheten har det inet haft. I själva verket har det inte haft någon betydelse förutom att det lett till att det blivit allt fler unga mördare och fulla fängelser.
