Great coverage on the @osi 2025 election process and what is at stake from Thomas Claburn at *The Register*: https://www.theregister.com/2025/02/28/osi_election_ai_drama/

I don't agree with everything in the article, but, speaking as a political candidate (at least until 2025-03-07 I am, anyway 😀), I am aware that politicians sometimes call the press “the Enemy of the People”. I love a Free Press almost as much as I love Free Software. If you agree with *everything* in a press article, it's probably not good journalism.

If you’re going to be at SXSW, here’s where you can catch me:

March 9, 9:45am: “A Better Web Is Possible” at the Fediverse House (https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse-house/)

March 9, 2:30pm: “Digital Sovereignty Is the New Influencer Status” with @mike (https://schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/PP147154)

I'm working on an update to my 2023 presentation about "the inevitable collapse of journalism as we know it"...because it happened.

p.s. In case you missed it, LibreWolf has just created their own Fediverse account:

➡️ @librewolf

It's a fork of Firefox with emphasis on privacy, for example it comes bundled with the excellent uBlock Origin.

(Just edited it into the list above too, but not everyone sees the edits 🙂 )

It looks like i has a visit from the cookie monster.

@tsvenson Kul, jag visste inte att texten var ute! 😁

"Att påstå att vi är beroende av techjättarna är mer av en fix idé än en faktisk realitet"

Citatet är @axbom som försöker hjälpa DN:s Kristofer Ahlström hitta rättare sociala medier, och inte falla tillbaka och återaktivera sina gamla han vill bort från.

Vad som är annorlunda med #Mastodon, #Pixelfed och #Fediverse förklaras också bra.

Jag tror också det går styra om allting internet till något betydligt trevligare och användbart. Ännu finns bra möjligheter 🥰

My first post on #Mastodon. I feel I need to get away from US-Controlled media.

Also: @dfri needs someone willing to be its next kassör.

Please reach out to me if you:
• care about digital human rights
• speak hella good svenska
• have any community org/brf accounting experience
• 1–3 hours a month to volunteer

Trump and JD Vance didn’t humiliate Zelensky.

They humiliated America.

A country that once stormed the beaches of Normandy now whines that a wartime leader isn’t “grateful” enough.

Imagine being this fragile.

Imagine thinking this is strength.

What a fucking clown show, what the fuck did you americans vote for

Don't forget there's @Waterfox and @librewolf

I nuked my YouTube channel. Turns out, I’d rather make shit for a handful of awesome freaks who still read blogs than spend my days begging Google’s algorithm to let me live. If I wanted to get crushed under a machine I’d go work at a Tesla factory.

Impatient for THE AI CON to come out? So are we!

Sweden has its own back door proposal in addition to EU’s Chat Control 2.0 and Going Dark. Signal’s president @Mer__edith is clear as always: if you mandate back doors (i.e., vulnerabilities): no more Signal for you. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/signal-lamnar-sverige-om-regeringens-forslag-pa-datalagring-klubbas

#Signal #E2EE

Denna fråga svarade V, C, MP och SD ja på i somras.

Står de alla fast vi det här nu appropå regeringens lagförslag om bakdörrar i totalsträckskrypterade appar som Signal?

Maila dem och fråga!

Förslag på mailtext och kontaktuppgifter finns här:

Many people just learned about Sverige’s chat backdoor proposal from an interview with Signal CEO @Mer__edith with SVT Nyheter. It is similar to the EU’s and UK’s recent chat control proposal.

@dfri fights for digital privacy rights in Sverige and responded to the government’s request for comment in January.

DFRI needs more Svenskar to join as members and donate to its work. It’s 151,50 kr well spent.
