Sigh. It's possible to remotely, physically locate any O2 mobile customer at any time over the internet with a trivial method using their mobile phone number, due to O2's poor implementation of 4G Calling which, by design, gives away the Cell ID.

Hello Fedi friends!

I'm preparing a presentation for a conference. The title: "The Rebellion will be self-hosted: Resisting the Digital Coup with #YunoHost"

I'm trying to describe how @yunohost has had a positive impact on my life. It's so hard to do so in 10 minutes or less 😅

A routine reminder that #YunoHost has a fundraising drive for the year so if you self-host through them and can afford to donate, any euro / dollar / yen counts: https://yunohost.org/donate.en.html Their volunteers are amazing ❤️

@maxleibman I 100% agree. Here’s a blog post I wrote on the subject a while back: https://mattjhayes.com/2024/01/21/when-computers-hallucinate/

Widely covered MIT paper saying AI boosts worker productivity is, in fact, complete bullshit it turns out.

@thisismissem @kissane I haven't deployed Loomio, but my advice for deploying things in general is to use @coopcloud which makes things much easier thanks to some nice tooling + a recipe commons, and there's a Loomio recipe: https://recipes.coopcloud.tech/loomio

Another advantage is once you have the tooling set up, it's a breeze to deploy more FOSS apps to the same server :)

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. https://boltsmag.org/how-volunteer-patrols-are-working-to-protect-san-diego-immigrant-communities-from-ice/

Presidential libraries can be fronts for massive, unregulated “donations” to private presidential foundations.
