There is no “if”, only “when”. Zensursula von der Leyen worked hard to get this done and she is the de-facto commision head for the new cycle. Signal knows they can close their app when this legislation passes. Their main userbase are privacy-concerned nerds and journalists who know how to find or create a new de-centralized technology.
So do creeps btw. They will find ways to counter this.
This dog needs a new home in Germany. It’s in OPs bio. Some sort of social media stuff maybe. Cute dog though.
Me too! Conscript, first week. But different country. Still terrifying.
When I travelled Myanmar many moons ago I met a catholic priest. He was in his 70s and worked 20 hours a day running an orphanage with zero funding from his church or government. I am not a man of religion, but that priest was the most impressive person I ever met. The way he kept his kindness and content despite all the poverty and suffering surrounding him gave me a new perspective.
I bought it at the time without realising you need an internet connection. Good times…
I’m using e/OS - the operating system with the most annoying name - for ~5 years now with my Fairphones. Banking works, App Lounge is anonymous and it syncs everything with my Nextcloud. I really like it.
Should have asked the Swiss, they probably know how to drill holes in rocks. Don’t need a startup for that…
More like Unimog.
Some of us had to install Windows XP SP2 and 4 on these machines. I made money just sitting in a room watching progress bars.

It’s 2024 and we still have news about these “security problems”?
That Zhang guy can only hope not to go to jail anytime soon. Every prisoner who knew about that password wants to have “the talk” with him. Snitches get stitches…
How can we control a kindergartener with unlimited money and ressources just to, you know, make sure they don’t destroy everything around them? Like little kids do?
That is my biggest fear for our future. It’s not a grumpy AI-engineer or evil dictator who wants to destroy humanity. It’s a handful of people with unlimited ressources who can decide if we go forward or not. And total power corrupts, that’s just a fact.
Exploiting human suffering for profit. We will all burn with a smile on our faces and a semi-cold water for the price of a small car in our hands.
