Hello from #Kyiv where heating and hot water is currently off (in the district where we are staying) and it's -4 degrees outside. Ukrainians are leading a life with restrictions that are *currently* unimaginable in the West, yet they do it stoically because they know that there's no alternative to resisting the Russian fascist invasion.

Meanwhile too many in the West seem unable to even bring the tiniest "sacrifice" eg of not spreading hateful and often racist lies on social media. Or to sanction Russia in a meaningful way that might also involve personal discomfort.

‼️ Please donate to help Okhmadyt hospital hit by the russian missile today!
The children that are hospitalized there have blood cancer! #Okhmadyt #RussialsATerroristState

Rocket attack on national children's cancer hospital by head of UN security council

Once you realize that both Trump and his MAGA Republicans work for Russia, not America, everything they do makes sense.

The irony.
On World Water Day, the Russians attack the largest remaining dam in Ukraine, a clear and explicit violation of the 1977 Geneva Convention Protocols against attacking civilian #water infrastructure and dams.
And a reminder they most certainly destroyed the massive Kakhovka Dam last June.

Strašně silná a důležitá slova studentů a studentek žurnalistiky. Jsou to právě jejich vrstevníci a mnohdy i kamarádi, kteří se stali terčem útoku.

Jsem rád, že apelují na etiku a kultivaci veřejného prostoru. Řada médií tragédii pokryla nešťastně. Jejich dopis podporuji.

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

@dos Not sure the first one posted correctly. Just as well since this is slightly better centered.

Welcome to Wayland.social: the successor to X.com.

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.
