Official statement from @Mer__edith: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.

Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities.

"The fact that the EU interior ministers want to exempt police officers, soldiers, intelligence officers and even themselves from chat control scanning proves that they know exactly just how unreliable and dangerous the snooping algorithms are that they want to unleash on us citizens."

Systemd 256.1 Fixes "systemd-tmpfiles" Unexpectedly Deleting Your /home Directory

Just when you thought Systemd couldn't get any more monstrous. 😚

@postmarketOS Please, don't make it enabled by default and undeletable
Sincerely, Alpine & Devuan user

This is another proof that systemd is an anti-pattern for security: with its crawling and ever extending web of dependencies, it extends the surface of vulnerability to orders of magnitude, and once embraced not even large distro communities can defend you from that.

@jeffcliff I don't use crypto, and people around me too. All these complementary currencies are useless for general population in everyday activities. Bank transfers by phone number and cash satisfy 99% needs. With 1%, who use crypto for black transfers, fight both exchanges and governments. In fact, after 11 years since registration on Villages, I can say - positive financial revolution does not happened. Just CBDC became reality...

Telegram claimed as a secure messenger, but its ordinary chats are not end-to-end encrypted, and so-called private chats accessible in non-easy way. Coincidence?

Tried Zoom - have absolutely no fun about this toy. IRC is much more eco-friendly
