@dangillmor Surveillance and data-manipulation giant Palantir was a CIA-funded creation and has become one of the planet's most powerfully evil companies. It is vital that the general public understand the dangerMay I politely add CIA Creation Google and us CIA developed Facebook to the list of pure evil.People must get off us tech altogether, not just one disgusting company.

@EUCommission International workers day, really needs EU Regulations for sanity and safety. German Gov is trying to dismantle workers rights at a very rapid pace. Work life balance according to Millionair industrialist supporter MerzWork 6 days a week minimum 10 Hours for minimum wage until you drop from exhaustion or die at the workplace....The SPD Schröder low pay country in the middle of Europe initiative is still in full swing. So many people struggling to survive is the result.

A test of our values’: Starmer to call for whole-society response to rising antisemitism I hope enough Brits stand up and tell him to fuck off.Supporting the Ghoul state of Israel in every way possible is NOT A BRITISH VALUE.And Starmer has continually shown he has no value at all. See Island of strangers speech, all his constant fails were somebody else's fault.All the broken election promises.Introductian of Orwellian Police powers.He should be jailed under those, as a traitor.

@EUCommission In the EU, data protection is not a feature. It’s a fundamental right. And we keep strengthening it to match a changing digital world.Really, citizens should never forget:Unless for a recent example, google is involved then it is supported by von der Leyen who behaving in an Autocratic Orban or trump like manner, cancelled fines on that disgusting us big tech company.The EU Comission has not corrected that situation nor has Von der Leyen been rebuked.

@EUCommission The evidence at our disposal indicates that consumers in the EU are very likely to encounter illegal items on Temu. The evidence shows that on top of Privacy intrusion and other offenses Google is encouraging youth suicide Fines were cancelled AUTOCRATICALLY By Von der LeyenWHYGoogle is us big spy tech, and for fears trump might have a tantrum.TEMU Chinese.

@libreoffice LibreOffice, yours for a lifetimeOn 13 October 2026, Microsoft ends support for Office 2021. No more security updates, no more fixes, no more assurances.Libreoffice works fine.I dumped ALL Microsoft products some years ago, I have no regrets.My newest computer is now about 14 years old, core I5 K, 8 GB Mem, 500GB SSD. Fast stable and fully up to date with antiX 26. A Debian derived no systemd distribution with clear antifascist statement from its chief developer.

@dangillmor Of all the corrupt things Trump has done, this is in the top 3 most disgusting and crooked -- wiping out law enforcement's ability to track the money launderers who are helping the worst criminals (Trump and his friends included, no doubt) hide their ill-gotten wealth. https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-gift-to-the-money-launderers-database-treasury?utm_campaign=email-post&r=48bbnm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=emailtrump and his filthy friends and family protecting themselves.The French invented one viable solution for such pressing problems.

@eff @jilliancyork @reasonmagazine "The idea that an organization that is an alternative host—for email, websites, and other services—could be designated a terrorist organization simply for providing a service that a lot of people want…is scary," EFF’s @jilliancyork told @reasonmagazine. https://reason.com/2026/08/27/rubio-usMore scary, Italy and EU have not told Rubio to go delete himself.WE NEED POLITICIANS WITH MORALS AND BACKBONES.

@dangillmor Preparing for a post-Trump internet: You'd better hope it's also a post-American internet. Because trump and the billionair oligarchs plus servile Military, National Guard and a million Petty crooks and perverts that are in the gravy train.They commit brazen crimes in office or on duty that could land them in prison for the rest of their lives, and therefore can't afford to lose power, ever:
