The EU intends to add surveillance to end-to-end encrypted chats, including the use of AI powered scanners that should (generically) detect Child Sexual Abuse Material and grooming & report to Europol. Yesterday, I presented on this terrible proposal in a hearing of the Dutch parliament. Here is an English transcript of my very plain language explanation of how bad this all is: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/client-side-scanning-dutch-parliament/ /cc @echo_pbreyer
Why not matrix?
I migrated servers last week and boy did I develop some strong opinions about migration and the as-yet only semi-fulfilled promise of account portability.
If you're thinking about moving instances—or you'd like to know yet more about my dreams for better networks—here's a post you might want to read:
Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Open source synergy: porting #Librem5 kernel to #MNTReform https://www.ruff.mobi/go/linux/reform2.html
I knew I saw it already somewhere though, finally found - https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/105753560212021418 , took me two days to find. Also no need in hidapi as it could simply be fed via /dev/hidraw. On the other hand I can do hidapi now, which I need for nitrokey hotp
this result was generated by executing this code https://gitlab.com/rufferson/mntkbd with this shell command
for r in 1 2 3; do for i in 1 4 8 16 2 0; do sudo _b/mntkbd LEDS$i 1; done; sleep 1; done
sudo is needed to access evdev input device.
My first i.MX8MQ device. Not the #Librem5 which I ordered more than 4 years ago, but #MNTreform which I ordered two months ago. Thanks to @mntmn for making it happen, and christmas spirit (whatever name it has) which made sure it was all in time and in proper order :)
p.s. There's also nice green keyboard next to it but it didn't fit the viewport :) Both items are very solid and well made.
Hey, look, my #MNTreform state has changed on @mntmn shop from backorder to this!11 There's a slight hope I get it under the pillow, even earlier than my evergreen (order and model) of #Librem5
Oh, nice, "Your Crowd Supply order has shipped!" - let see now what this little fella can do - https://www.crowdsupply.com/lite3dp/lite3dp-3d-printer . Decided to get SLA friend to my FDM old chap.
