🇬🇧 Is your government supporting #ChatControl? Do you want it to? Help change its position in time for the next vote later this year (it will be extremely tight)!
This is what you can do now to save privacy and encryption:

Det verkar som att Chat Control är på agendan igen:
"Chat control is back on the agenda of EU governments. They will discuss “progress” on 10/11 October and are to endorse it on 12/13 December."
Maila de svenska partierna som stöder Chat Control (S, M, L och KD) och fråga om varför de vill massövervaka alla helt utan brottsmisstanke

Mina privata data känns inte supertrygga i Orbans EU-händer.
Släng Chat Control 2.0-förslaget i soptunnan och bränn det sedan!
Upptäckte att #sverigesradio inte längre erbjuder en rss feed för Sommar och Vinter i P1. Eftersom jag gärna lyssnar på episoderna i min podcatcher så skrev jag ett litet script som skapar en rss som borde funka med alla podcatchers:
…and here are my #FreeSoftware bits for June:

Starting today, I am escalating my war against #google by adding a filter in #mastodon that auto-removes any posts with #youtube links from my feed.
For anyone in the habit of posting youtube links here:
- I recommend that you stop doing that. Post #PeerTube links instead, or whatever else, just not youtube (google).
- If you continue to post youtube links then I will not see those posts because of the filter I just added. Don't worry, I will still see your other posts.
#Purism offers now optional subscriptions to advance the development of PureOS. PureOS is also the default operating system for the #Librem5 #Linux #phone.
"PureOS will continue to be freely available for all, there is no product difference for subscribers or non-subscribers."
Purism has a long list of requests and never enough developer resources.
Subscribing enables @purism to invest more in #FOSS maintenance, innovations, and development.

Johan Linåker: "Report: Public Sector Open Source Program Offices - Archetypes for how to Grow (Common) Institutional Capabilities": https://www.linaker.se/blog/public-sector-open-source-program-offices/
"One of the main challenges is the limited knowledge within the public sector in terms of both what open source is, but also how it can be leveraged [...]"
We need to change that!
Found along with other interesting stuff in the latest #NOSAD (Network Open Source and Data) newsletter (in Swedish): https://nosad.se/news_jun_2024

We've updated https://switching.software again!
For instance, we updated the description of @cryptpad, an easy to use yet powerful end-to-end encrypted replacement for #MS356, #GoogleDocs and unencrypted pads.

The new Swiss Open Source Law: "Public Money Public Code" by default
Matthias Stürmer, Rika Koch
Recording available here: https://media.fsfe.org/w/aQs7EbEUQGt4DP13SsqAJ7 - starting at about 2:31 in that video.
This is very good news: Switzerland has a new law that takes effect starting this year, saying that the Swiss public sector at national level shall publish source code for the software it develops or pays others to develop.
Vid kl 17 hade 59,4 procent av de registrerade väljarna röstat. Tre timmar kvar tills de sista vallokalerna stänger.
Statsvetaren Martial Foucault på Sciences-Po menar att vi är på väg mot det högsta valdeltagandet i ett franskt parlamentsval sedan 1981.
#phosh 0.40 will correctly detect the #steamdeck's panel orientation and start up in landscape mode now! 🎉
Here's a photo of it running on #postmarketOS!
There are still a few rough edges with running pmOS, phosh, and the other UIs we support, on the Steam Deck... but it's still really nice to see one rough edge smoothed out.
pmOS on the Steam Deck, just like the blueberries in the photo, is not quite ready for consumption... 🤞 😄
Thank you @agx for your help and patience!
Danish government broadcaster DR is closing their profiles on X because the tone is too toxic and they can’t moderate replies to their posts. Would be great to see them in the Fediverse, but that is probably too much to ask for at this point.
