google rant:
a little website i shepherd for a friend has a contact form. it uses php mail() via sendmail. ive done all the things: fail2ban, recaptcha, spf, dkim, reject dmarc policy; the config is just as tight as my personal mail server, and few to no illegitimate form submissions ever make it as far as the mta.
gmail happily sends a daily dmarc report congratulating me for successful spf and dkim tests, yet refuses to deliver any messages to a gmail inbox. at the same time, the target gmail inbox is stacked full of spam, all from gmail.com addresses.
google is a bully and a tyrant and hostile to the open internet. msft does the same shit.

This cornerstone of software freedom has been empowering developers and users for decades.
Consider gifting your copyright to the FSF to uphold the GPL's legacy and keep software libre!
I just renewed my annual @fsf associate membership and psyched for Libreplanet. #ISupportFreeSoftware
Interesting discussion with @Mer__edith and Camille Francois, "AI and Surveillance Capitalism", available via #PeerTube here: https://digitalcourage.video/w/3UJQ4XPwjWpenWM5iUmmQs
I think the most important aspect they bring up is how increased use of so-called "AI" systems (it's wrong to call such systems "intelligent") leads to really dangerous concentration of power to a small number of huge companies. That development is very dangerous and bad for democracy, it's really the opposite of what we need.

"[...] she calls me and says: “I don’t understand what this war is for.” I say nothing. Mama says: “On TV, they’re always saying ‘victory, we need victory’, but what is victory? Even if we conquer Ukraine, all we’ll get is a country in ruins and a people who hate us. Ukrainians know how to hate, we’ve taught them.” I say nothing. Mama says: “Fine. What am I to do about it, then?” And I say: “Mama, that’s a really good question.”"
