Kicking the tires over in the #fediverse… waited a while because I couldn't decide which server to go with, but for now I've landed here: @polexa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tech.lgbt/@polexa (having intermittent access errors but hopefully more regularly active)

This is a really smart post on the implications of the U.S.'s recent sanctions on European regulators and anti-disinformation activists. The upshot: It underscores the peril for journalists (or really anyone) of relying on digital infrastructure that's hosted by what has become a classic illiberal regime. Peter Erdelyi writes: "I’ve had the privilege of working with several exile newsrooms this year, and one of the most important lessons they taught me is how fundamental access to infrastructure really is. Things most European news organizations take entirely for granted, being able to open a bank account, use a payment processor, cloud service, etc., are often fragile or unavailable in exile. Watching capable, motivated newsrooms with a real and loyal audience struggle because they cannot reliably process payments or access basic digital tools has really shaped how I think about power and dependency." (Also includes a very smart critique of a lot of current disinfo work.) If you care about independent media, especially in Europe, always read Peter Erdelyi! funds4media.org/p/the-us-trave…

Taken all together, it's a new kind of public institution that looks out for critical digital infrastructure and supports software digital commons, among other important tasks. After all, we're just getting started! 3/

Names are powerful things, and what do you do when one like #SovereignTechFund already means a lot to people around the world? When it symbolizes what government and societies can do when they take the #OpenSource building blocks of our digital world seriously? 1/

Today, I have the solemn responsibility to be the first president to formally apologize to Native peoples – Native American, Native Hawaiian, and Native Alaskan – for what happened during the Indian Boarding School era. It's long overdue.

There should be a German remake of Ocean's 11, but instead of the gang robbing a casino, they break into the Ausländerbehörde to make an appointment.

Berlin’s prettiest, coolest, and smelliest bridge is the Oberbaumbrücke. The crossing once sat outside the city, but as Berlin grew, the new, bigger, better bridge connected two of Berlin’s central districts; Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg & Kreuzberg. One East, one West…

EFF@EFF·
The German government is trying to push through Parliament, at record speed, a "security package" that would increase biometric surveillance at an unprecedented scale. The proposed measures contravene the government’s own coalition and undermine European law and the German constitution. EFF stands with the opponents of these proposals. We must defend fundamental rights more decidedly than ever.eff.org/deeplinks/2024…
