A lot of people talking about dumping Proton right now are misunderstanding what actually happened.

Feds were able to coerce the Swiss government to coerce Proton to hand over whatever data they had on an anonymous Stop Cop City email address, that was being investigated for terrorism.

That metadata included credit card details information for the account, which is very difficult to anonymize.

Proton offers cash payments to work around this obvious security flaw.

If you must pay for a Proton account for a radical project, pay with cash (you can mail it) or washed crypto (Monero -> Bitcoin).

All credit card payments are traceable, even to a privacy-focused company.

Your security model should not rely on a business to fight the state on your behalf.

Your email or VPN provider is not going to risk prison time for your $5/mo. It's just not going to happen, at least for anything commercial. Tuta and every other email privacy-focused email company will comply with court orders.

Trying to find the perfect email provider is a fool's errand. It doesn't exist.

You can however anonymize your useage of privacy friendly services like Proton, Tuta, or Mailbox by not entering your credit card number, phone number, name, personal email, or IP to that account.

Not that we would ever get all developers to agree, but i do wish there was a standard `.config/` or `.tools/` directory in most repos for all the assorted tools . . . instead of every tool having a `.<toolname>` or `.<tooldir>`

(While I'm being naive, I also wish projects followed specifications.freedesktop.org instead of thinking they're important enough to have their own `~/.<project>` config directory 🙃 )

연합우주 여우들이 모두 모여 명절 지냈으면 좋겠어요 ​:ablobcatpnd_yorisoi_mocho:

저는 사막여우가 모티브에요!
처음 별모래 오너캐를 디자인한 때가 벌써 15년 전이네요.
원래는 뚱뚱해서 꼬리가 파묻힌 사막여우였는데,
의인화하면서 풍성한 꼬리가 드러났다는 설정이었어요.
그런데 큰 꼬리와 큰 귀를 다들 좋아해주셔서 동물 모습도 큰 꼬리로 바꾸게 되었어요.

It's just been revealed that Switzerland repeatedly rejected Palantir, warning that US authorities could get access to sensitive files.
But here in the UK, our government handed them the keys to our most critical data.

The government has let the US surveillance giant get embedded in our NHS, police, Home Office, MOD and even some local councils.

NHS staff are rising up and calling for the Palantir contract to be scrapped. Thousands of us have already told the Department of Health to get rid of Palantir. But this goes beyond even our NHS. It’s time to decide our next steps - Pablo, will you take part?
Should we shine a spotlight on Palantir's UK contracts and get them out of our NHS?

Yes, let’s take action

Use Snowflake to give censorship the slip in places where Internet is blocked.

Snowflake allows you to connect to the Tor network in places where Tor is blocked by routing your connection through volunteer proxies located in uncensored countries.

Similar to VPNs, which help users bypass Internet censorship, Snowflake disguises your Internet activity as though you’re making a video or voice call, making you less detectable to Internet censors.

Start using Snowflake Now
--> snowflake.torproject.org/
via @torprojectThe Tor Project

A purple illustration of a snowflake, with white text on dark background saying: Help people bypass censorship, run Snowflake. snowflake.torproject.org.

읍내에서 본 Claude 글. 조작인지 아닌지 좀 궁금하긴한데 사람이 뭐라고 하던간에 일단 장단은 맞춰주지만 속으로는 다른 생각을 함 ㅎㅎ 사실 이것도 이렇게 Thought process를 억지로 만들어내서 알게된것인데 (즉 추론을 글로 적어가면서 외부에서 하고 있음) 이런 과정 없었으면 몰랐을수도 있음 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ x.com/distributedk... x.com/distributedk...

소위 AI 개발 업체들이 안전장치 세팅을 초기엔 꽤 강하게 했었고, 이 부분을 강조하는 게 기본적인 업계 '관행' 이었는데, 이제는 그 내용은 거의 보이질 않음. 이걸 어떻게 바꿔나가야 할지 아득하다. 원자력이야 신재생에너지라는 대안이 있었고, 단가가 낮아지면서 훌륭한 대체재가 되어가고 있었지만 LLM은 내가 안쓴다고 없어질것도 아니고..

À lire…

Des patientes peu écoutées | CNRS Le journal

Leurs symptômes sont souvent expliqués par autre chose que par la pathologie réelle.

Ainsi, un certain nombre de femmes qui ont fait un infarctus ou un AVC ont pu s’entendre dire : « Calmez-vous, reposez-vous, on verra après… »

Elles sont donc confrontées à des pratiques de relativisation, de découragement et de psychologisation de leurs maux.

Cette écoute moins attentive pourrait même aller jusqu’à l’erreur médicale, comme le montrent les travaux – en cours – de Maud Gelly sur le genre de l’erreur médicale.

공뭔 친구가 요새 AI 이야기는 많이 나오는데 자기네들 업무에는 하나도 안쓰니 체감이 하나도 안된다고 하던데 이해는 됨 아마 경험을 아직 못해본 사람들이 있고 어찌보면 그런 자리에 있으면 안전하고 좋은것임;; 안쓰면 쓸려나가는 사람들이 민간에서는 일어나고 있으니...

very nice: @cas was here today and got audio working on the MNT Quasar/QCS6490 powered Pocket Reform, as well as the GPU running in EL2. this means we can very soon reach the beta milestone of this @nlnet project.

additional note: the idle power consumption is so low that i have a hard time trusting the measurement :0

📰 Polecam tekst @didlethdidleth 🇵🇱 🌈 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 ⚡ dla Oko Press. Dowiecie się o co chodzi z tą weryfikacją wieku przy dostępie do socialek:

"Big techy grają z nami w weryfikację wieku. To karanie ofiar zamiast sprawców
[...]
Czy Europejski Portfel Tożsamości Cyfrowej to dobry pomysł na weryfikację wieku?

To zależy. Z jednej strony: ma wiele zalet. Wedle założeń ma być otwarto źródłowy i zawierać „różne technologie chroniące prywatność, takie jak dowód z wiedzą zerową”. W praktyce umożliwiłoby to przekazanie Facebookowi czy TikTokowi informacji o samym wieku, bez zdradzania innych personaliów.

Są też pewne wady. Poza wyżej wymienionymi: wprowadzenia EUDI jako obowiązkowej metody weryfikacji wieku byłoby zwyczajnie sprzeczne z unijnym prawem."
