Berlin has been paying for Ukraine's access to a satellite-internet network operated by France's Eutelsat as Europe seeks alternatives to Elon Musk’s Starlink.
From current sub 1000 terminals, Eutelsat is looking at around 5,000 to 10,000 "within weeks".

The news that #X has suspended the #EU's advertising account on the platform after it issued a 120m EUR fine against X for breaking the #DSA is beyond hilarious.
And it might even be kind of good in the sense that politicians in Europe maybe finally realise how shitty it is to depend on such a lunatic for its public communications.

This is Chasiv Yar. A town in Ukraine’s #Donetsk region, turned into ruin by Russia. Streets erased by shelling. Apartment blocks ripped open. Schools, kindergartens, shops, cafés – all reduced to nothing.
Ukrainian defenders are holding the line here. A few civilians remain. The danger is constant. The sound of drones overhead is never far.
Support for Ukraine isn’t charity. It’s how we prevent this horror from spreading. Russia won’t stop on its own. But united, we can put an end to this war.

The war on crypto never ends. The war on privacy, civil rights, security and freedom of speech never ends.
This time we are dangerously close to lose. The "Child Sexual Abuse" (CSA) EU regulation proposal, more aptly nicknamed "ChatControl", will be voted AGAIN this October, and many countries who opposed it last year are now undecided. The proposal at its roots aims at allowing authorities to break end-to-end encryption for the usual reason: "because of the children". As a father of two, I am disgusted by this recurring, cheap rhetoric.

'Putin is subject to an international arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court, a court the U.S. doesn't recognize.'
Kinda says it all right there.
'Immunity' from same court has permitted Gaza.
Why has Trump surrendered to second-rate Russia vs. using America's vastly greater power to help Russia while also serving America's interests?
We face a historic inflection point steeper than faced by UK/USA/Europe in 1940.

"Trump & Thune About to Rip Away #Health Care & Whig-ify the #GOP Jan 1 - https://www.blueamp.co/p/trump-and-thune-about-to-rip-away
"There are certainly no lack of examples of their glib dishonesty and putrid amorality. But one that perfectly sums up the Jonestown GOP Caucus is their nonchalance at allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the only way millions of Americans can afford healthcare, to just disappear. Like Mike Johnson’s testicles when #Trump enters the room"

USA verhängen Einreiseverbot u.a. gegen zwei Deutsche die sich gegen Hass im Internet engagieren
Außenminister Rubio schreibt unter der Überschrift "Announcement of Actions to Combat the Global Censorship-Industrial Complex" folgendes
"Diese radikalen Aktivisten und als Waffen eingesetzten NGOs haben die Zensurmaßnahmen ausländischer Staaten vorangetrieben – in jedem Fall gegen amerikanische Redner und amerikanische Unternehmen."
Betroffen sind:
- Josephine Ballon and Anna-Lena von Hodenberg, leaders of HateAid, a German organization;
-Clare Melford, who runs the Global Disinformation Index;
-former EU Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was responsible for digital affairs.
- Imran Ahmed, chief executive of the Centre for Countering Digital Hate;
Nach der Attacke durch die GLS-Bank auf linke Strukturen in Gestalt der Kündigung von Bankkonten, folgt nun einen weitere Maßnahme des Versuchs der Einschüchterung, wobei Einreiseverbote mutmaßlich nur der erste Sdhritt sein dürften. Dass die USA auch ehemalige und politisch gut vernetzte EU-Kommissare ins Visier nehmen, sollte allen klar machen, dass die US-Regierung jede und jedem mit Maßnahmen überziehen kann und wird, derer sie namhafr wird.
Die AfD baut ihre US-Kontakte aus und es darf unterstellt werden, dass die AfD willige Zulieferin von weiteren Namenslisten ist, von Personen die sie gerne sanktioniert sähe.

Enter the #Matrix!
Oder: Warum #Signal auch doof ist #ds25
Ein Vortrag über Matrix, warum #Dezentralisierung für Kommunikationsinfrastruktur wichtig ist, und etwas Kapitalismuskritik.
In diesem Vortrag möchte ich das Kommunikationsprotokoll Matrix vorstellen. Er ist vor allem für Neulinge gedacht, soll aber auch erfahrene Matrix-Nutzende nicht langweilen.
Dazu werde ich nicht nur die gängigen Anwendungen vorstellen und auf potentielle Fallstricke hinweisen. Ich werde auch darauf eingehen, warum die konventionellen Instant-Messaging-Dienste da draußen alle schlecht sind. Ja, auch Signal. Spoiler: Dezentralisierung ist unsere einzige Rettung.

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"
