“Don’t say “Europe should invest in secure communications”, write out that the European Commission should procure a secure email solution that does not fall under US spying legislation” https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/europe-must-invest-in-xyz/

@bert_hubert Oeh. It. Big.

@bert_hubert Wat een vervuilende rommel...

@bert_hubert En als het dan toch tot een stemming komt, een hoofdelijke stemming aanvragen, zodat journalisten de kamerleden dan een voor een af kunnen gaan voor hun argumenten.

@bert_hubert

Eindelijk politiek die dit onderwerp serieus wil nemen. Ook jouw verdienste om dit onder de aandacht te blijven brengen.

@bert_hubert I love Question Time. It's one of the best things about an old-school parliament.

@bert_hubert i think your description is misleading, this is chat control, photo upload scanning, server side, not scan software installed on your phone. Otherwise, link please.

@bert_hubert not that things are generally so much better as-is, but goddamnit that's terrifying. Surely there wouldn't be any false positives or any other hijinks associated with this "BUT THINK OF THE CHILDREN" campaign.

The company attempting to sell this bullshit to the Dutch government should be dissolved.

@bert_hubert
I am sick about this.

@bert_hubert wait is that "AI" shit? 🥲

@bert_hubert FINALLY someone with a brain. Yes, more of this local, open source AI!

@bert_hubert An excellent overview of actual situation of tech innovation ⚠️ Thanks for sharing 👍

@bert_hubert This piece is exactly my impression when I applied for the cloud engineer job there last summer. Nobody had experience, and the ignorance in the blogpost not falling into the lock-in trap is just the blissful leadership having no clue it is impossible to build agnostic in any Cloud... I'm counting down to mass resignations of people that do have actual skills.

@bert_hubert excellent post! The Boeing document you reference is no longer available, you wouldn't have a copy by any chance?

@bert_hubert well that's gross. Thanks for helping to call behavior like this out. Short of GH changing its terms for things like this, the community strongly rejecting this behavior as socially acceptable might be the best we can do.

@bert_hubert This needs to be killed before it spreads

@bert_hubert Someone make a bot that stars that crappy project and auto-reposts every thusly closed report under its own name.

Who the F*CK looked at this and thought: This is good!

@bert_hubert Sucks that these orgs won't acknowledge the FOSS people that keep the internet, and most other things, on. I'm just one guy working somewhere that most people will never know about, but I at least appreciate all the work you guys do to keep the lights blinking.

@bert_hubert especially bigger corporations could affort to pay for open-source software. They don't get their Microsoft or Apple stuff for free either. It should be natural to pay for software they use. Even we (retired couple, private, definitely not rich) contribute to authors of software when we tried it out and decided to stick with it.
Yes, here on :mastodon: , too!

@bert_hubert That is just sad.
