“We should ban surveillance advertising. Period. Companies should not be allowed to collect our data without our meaningful opt-in consent, and if that was the standard, there would be no data-collection:”
— @pluralistic

Everything advertised on social media is overpriced junk :

Once again remind people about my new #photography related @pixelfed instance https://pixel.kushaldas.photography/kushal I hope you will enjoy the photos there.

Please boost this post so that more people can see the photos. As I post a lot of #demonstration and #protest photos, the traditional applications don't like the hashtags :)

Chocker!

Det här är vansinne och måste stoppas. Skamligt att #Sverige är en del av det.

Om du inte är insatt, läs på och agera. Om du är insatt och aktiv i motståndet: keep up the good work!

Over 300 scientists from 33 countries have signed yet another open letter criticising Hungary's proposal for EU #ChatControl:

Client-side scanning of ALL end-to-end encrypted private communication (messages, email..)

In other words: mass surveillance!

Lisa Magnusson briljerar om Chat Control

Sverige gör tummen upp till chat control – förstår politikerna ens vad det innebär? undrar Lisa Magnusson - DN.se

#ChatControl

"Byt bank om du inte är nöjd" är ju sparekonomernas främsta råd till besvikna bankkunder.

Bra att detta råd smulas sönder och bankmarknadens orimlighet blottläggs.

Ungerns Chat Control-förslag kommer upp på Justitieutskottets möte torsdag 26 september!

C, V, MP och SD har tidigare sagt nej till Chat Control och massövervakning:

https://konstellationen.org/2024/09/19/chatcontrol-rapport/

Jag har nu mailat och påmint dem.

Jag har även mailat Liberalerna: info@liberalerna.se, martin.melin@riksdagen.se, robert.hannah@riksdagen.se

Min uppmaning är:

- Säg nej till Ungerns Chat Control förslag
- Rösta för att utskottet ställer sig bakom EU-parlamentets förslag

Boosta gärna!

📣NEW paper! Don’t believe the hype: bigger AI ≠ better AI. @SashaMTL, @GaelVaroquaux and me on how the race to bigger, and bigger AI has bad consequences and isn't necessary.

1. Smaller AI models often perform better than big models in context

And

2. obsession with bigness has severe collateral consequences, from climate costs, to concentrated power, to more surveillance, to the capture of AI research.

All of this, and what we can do instead 👇

New blogpost: Running a law firm on Free software (2024 edition)

It has been a couple of years since I last wrote about decoded.legal's (almost entirely FOSS) tech stack.

I was chatting with someone about it yesterday, so now is as good a time as any for an update.

It's not particularly law firm specific; probably more generically "small business" oriented.

I'm always happy to hear friendly constructive feedback :)

Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius died in 1744 aged 43, although his great rival Fahrenheit was convinced he was 109

Happy Software Freedom Day!
