"Nice": #Disqus even deleted my comment where I wrote about my posting issues (without any link) in a Disqus thread to inform other users. 🤷 Every comment written into Disqus is a lost one.#enshittification

I wonder when the average(!) person will be ready for discussions on free alternatives for popular services like #YouTube, #WhatsApp, #GMail, #Microsoft, #Apple, #Amazon, ...For example, my #privacy-aware workflows with YouTube stopped working because of intervention by #Google. 😔 I'd like to be able to ignore youtube URLs in near future and still get access to cool videos, e.g., via #PeerTube copies.#diday #enshittification #digitalIndependence #digitalSouvereignity #Fediverse

In #Graz wurde mehrheitlich gegen die Stimmen der Rechten (#ÖVP, #KFG, #FPÖ) Umbenennungen von #Nazi-Namen auf Namen von ehrenwerten Personen beschlossen. Quelle: Gemeinderatssitzung vom 22.

@pluralistic on the #AIbubble, why it is a #bubble and what we will get out of it after it busts:https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/18/tech-ai-bubble-burst-reverse-centaurOne of the best texts I've read about #AI so far.

@rohu @norberteder Es gab mal https://extinctionclock.org/ aber die scheint ausgestorben zu sein. 😟Allerdings gibt's noch https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weltuntergangsuhr mit einer guten Übersicht und die verweist auch auf https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/2025-statement/ -> "It is now 89 seconds to midnight" 😨 #Weltuntergangsuhr #DoomsDay #DoomsDayClock #Extinction

#Microsoft hands out your #Windows #Bitlocker disk #encryption recovery key if #USA agencies like the #FBI ask for it:https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2026/01/22/microsoft-gave-fbi-keys-to-unlock-bitlocker-encrypted-data/And yes, this has already happened at least twenty times a year for some keys.According to other situations, I'd not particular bet that twenty is the correct number as US law usually prevents services from talking about it too openly.#security #privacy #FDE #Windows11 #Win11 #cloud

"Kurswechsel: #Europa soll US-Tech von kritischer #Infrastruktur ausschließen.Die Gesellschaft für Informatik warnt vor einer digitalen Kolonie der #USA und fordert einen Kurswechsel bei staatlicher #IT"https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000305437/kurswechsel-europa-soll-us-tech-von-kritischer-infrastruktur-ausschliessen?ref=mastodon"[...] nicht nur ein wirtschaftliches Risiko, sondern eine direkte Gefahr für die demokratische Meinungsbildung in Europa." "#EuropeanTechFirst Das bedeutet, dass bei staatlichen IT-Beschaffungen europäische Lösungen und insbesondere #OpenSource-Software den Vorzug erhalten sollen, sofern sie geeignet sind.""Auch das sogenannte #SouveränitätsWashing nehmen die Experten ins Visier. Konstrukte, die europäische #Datensouveränität nur vortäuschen, während die tatsächliche Kontrolle bei US-Mutterkonzernen verbleibt, sollen bei Ausschreibungen nicht mehr berücksichtigt werden. Die #EuropeanSovereignCloud von #AWS steht in der Kritik genau so eine Konstruktion zu sein."#Demokratie #EU #staatlicheIT #kritischeInfrastruktur #digitaleSouveränität #did #FOSS #ESC

Washington wants your 3D printer to spy on you - here's the billhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-9ISzMhBMWell, now every #3dprinter comes with spyware, #plannedObsolence and a hard end of life date if that law is in place. Funny thing: a couple of hours ago, I started to investigate whether or not I should buy a #BambuLab printer despite its #cloud dependency in case you want a nice UX.However, this new development let me cancel my plans for now as of the high risk of losing over 1000€ for an expensive future brick.#enshittification #FOSS #openhardware #USA #censorship #guns

@c_ozwei @schaffertom Das beschränkt sich leider nicht auf Susanne Schnabl. Da muss man quasi bei allen Journalist:innen gleich ansetzen. 😔 Schreibt E-Mails.

@mjg59 This only holds true if you blindly trust #Apple & the security level of their software.Their policies may change any time as we've seen in many cases of big corps already.Their ability to provide secure software is mostly a myth from old times. They pushed extremely embarrassing security bugs multiple times which not only means that their testing processes are insufficient.https://karl-voit.at/cloud/ has a few of their failures with respect to #privacy & #security.Having absolute trust in a shareholders obliged company, you may face massive backfire some day.If you are *really* looking for maximum level of protection, there's nothing better as a #Pixel 8 or higher (also from 2nd hand market) with #GrapheneOS flashed (it's very easy via web browser + USB cable and a 2nd #Android device) and a self-chosen level of #Google integration.You may go without any Google service at all or you can opt in for a sandboxed version of them.HTH#publicvoit #digitalSouvereignity #iOS

Users of #Emacs #orgmode: I've added "my-org-block-interruption()" to my config. It was generated by Claude.If invoked within a blog, it inserts #+END_ #+BEGIN_ lines that match the current block.This way, I'm able to interrupt a QUOTE block to add some comments, a SRC block to split it up, ...Maybe you do find it as helpful as I do.Source: https://github.com/novoid/dot-emacs/blob/master/config.org

@mjg59 Note: my threat model in this discussion did not include hardcore APT attacks and advanced government-driven threats beyond IMSI-catcher and such.My focus here is the privacy/security of the average person in a country where human rights are still in place. For that, I still stand with my arguments/sources mentioned.Matthew may have information I lack so far.
