The rumours about #Windows12 are super worrying for everyone who cares about #freedom and #dataprotection in private as well as professional use:

Especially the expected increase in inbuilt #AI features and even more integration of software with the #cloud are problematic if you're handling sensitive information such as student exams, research data and financial information daily. It's high time that public institutions including #highereducation consider alternatives!

Solidarity from America 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Currently volunteering with the team at Coast of Life in Odesa. Today I handed them an 🇺🇸American flag—may it serve as a symbol of my gratitude, and of the unwavering support of the American people for Ukraine’s fight for freedom.🕊️

I want to share an important article from the The Tor Project about how Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business 🧵

Officials block access to the open internet—then sell it back at a price. Tor, being free and effective, became a threat to their profit model 🔐

When censors become dealers, censorship becomes extortion.

russias disinformation wants us to believe Ukraine is unfree, undemocratic & corrupt. Many in Europe echo this. But facts say otherwise: from 2014–2024 Ukraine climbed 66 ranks in the World Press Freedom Index — while fighting a war of aggression. That’s the story we must tell. 🇺🇦 #changethenarrative

So google just announced a mandatory ID check for all android developers even the ones who don’t use their marketplace….

This is honestly a horrible progression for digital sovereignty, privacy, and individual freedom,

will most likely hit developers of open source apps the hardest, and should be heavily criticized.
