Microsoft will soon cut off Windows 10 security updates, and says "up yours" to people with (somewhat) older computers who would happily use Windows 11, but now will be blocked

Intel and AMD appreciate this very much.

If you aren't ready to put your older but working-fine computer in a landfill, and further pollute the planet, you have a better option:

It's easier than ever to install and use Ubuntu or Mint or some other Linux system.

Chat Control röstades inte om på ministerrådets möte idag. S, M, KD och L har ställt sig bakom Ungerns Chat Control-förslag.

Men L svarade förvirrat när jag mailade dem i september. @konstellationen ställde ett antal enkla frågor som L vägrar svara på. En av frågorna är:

"Anser ni att privat kommunikation är (eller bör vara) en mänsklig rättighet?"

Hjälp gärna till och maila dem!

Vad tycker L om Chat Control? | Samuels bitar

På Nobelmiddagen serveras det fullkornsgröt med korn. För de som inte vet det är korngröt bland det mest traditionella som alls existerar i Sverige. Så de riksdagsledamöter på X som klagar över korngröt som "woke" är i alla fall inte överdrivet intresserade av svensk historia / tradition.

Musicians for Fairness & Preservation Open Letter
It’s time for the music industry to support the artistic legacies and futures of working musicians—not shareholder profits.

We, the undersigned musicians, wholeheartedly oppose major record labels’ unjust lawsuit targeting the Internet Archive, a crucial non profit cultural institution. We don’t believe that the Internet Archive should be destroyed in our name.

När Stasi-arkiven öppnades efter DDR-regimens fall exponerades Vänsterpartiet Kommunisternas mångåriga vänskapliga samarbete med SED-diktaturen.

Kan man hoppas på några liknade avslöjanden om Assad-regimens internationella påverkansoperationer?

Sverigedemokraternas riksdagsledamöter Martin Kinnunen och Markus Wiechel gjorde sig ju t ex villigt till nyttiga idioter för regimens propaganda så nyligen som 2017.

🎙️I was a guest on Hacker Public Radio!

I recently appeared on HPR to talk about my creation; Pete the Mechanical Disco Pigeon, where I share the story behind:

Mastodon isn't perfect.

But the fact a social network exists that is completely free to use,

has no venture capital investors,

has no shareholders to answer to,

has no growth targets,

with a web interface with zero cookies,

and mobile apps with zero trackers at all

with ten thousand server administrators who donate their time for user safety

is - in my opinion - mindbogglingly cool, given the state of the world we live in.

Not everything has to be shit. People make things better.

Fresh from the Reserve Queue it's another where @Yung_Lyun educates us Hackers on aspects of the world hither to unknown.

Warning be prepared for a side splitting classics such as "That's one of those places you can go in and get your dinner and a lawnmower".

If you have not sent in a show THIS YEAR we need shows. The reserve queue is getting low.

Put down the pitchfork and pic up a mic.
