remember that Creative Commons has fallen for NFT and shitcoin grifts before, when they let Filecoin bribe them into NFT land

https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2021/11/26/creative-commons-is-shilling-nfts/

and EFF was crawling up coiners' arses at the same time too, reminding us that these are Silicon Valley libertarian organisations that are extremely into the corporate funding

With Budapest Pride just two days away, Hungary has criminalized Pride marches and is planning to deploy real-time facial recognition technology to identify those participating in the event. The EU must defend fundamental human rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/ahead-budapest-pride-eff-and-46-organizations-call-european-commission-defend

From the U.S. Press Tracker:

Initial charges were dropped June 25 against Atlanta-based immigration reporter Mario Guevara after his arrest at a mid-June protest — but Guevara remains in ICE custody and faces deportation, three additional charges.

ICE appears to have rescinded guidance that illegally tried to hamper congressional oversight of detention facilities.

If so, that’s a good thing.

But FPF will continue to pursue our FOIA requests to uncover the information ICE is trying to hide.

It's kinda wild how many executives seem to be a worse choice than a person that does nothing when faced with any given decision

France's third-largest city is dropping Windows and MS Office in favour of Linux and Open Office.

https://digitrendz.blog/newswire/business/19813/lyon-drops-microsoft-office-to-boost-digital-sovereignty/

'Lyon isn’t navigating this change alone. The city will leverage Territoire Numérique Ouvert, an open and interoperable software suite developed in collaboration with SITIV (Intercommunal Union of Information Technologies for Cities) and the Lyon Metropolis. Already in use by thousands of employees across nine local governments, this platform demonstrates the scalability of decentralized solutions.'

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

I'm super happy to share, that the #Fairphone (Gen. 6) was just announced, and we've been able to already publish a lot of code for it!

* #postmarketOS support is submitted
* 59(!) patches were sent to bring up upstream #Linux on the SM7635 SoC and enable the device.
* The stock Android source code is public on code.fairphone.com

This has been a lot of work over the last couple of months so it's awesome to finally be able to share it!

Also, Drag n Drop and event controllers in general in GTK4 are so good. Really fantastic work. The toolkit just keeps getting better at making it easy to do hard things
