What's that saying... 'If buying isn't owning...'

Sony deletes another large stash of movies off users' accounts after users "purchased" the movies. Cue up the "I'm tired boss" meme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l19tXQcw2tE

@informapirata@mastodon.uno @privacypride Vedere da fightchatcontrol.eu che l'intero blocco del Partito Democratico sostiene l'iniziativa. Mentre tra coloro che si oppongono c'è Vannacci; mi fa seriamente venire dubbi sulla mia sanità mentale.

As the 5th trilogue finished without agreement, Council and the European People's Party (EPP), with Germany's SDP and CDU being the driving forces, are attempting to bypass Parliament and reactivate the already expired #ChatControl 1.0.

No, believe it or not, means no!

I ran out of patience.

This TLS thread is full of some of the dumbest fucking opinions I've read in a technical discussion in years.

EDIT TO ADD: Orr's post isn't the main offender here, it just rubbed me the wrong way. See the archive.org links in my email for the other posts that were bad.

#ChatControl 1.0 and 2.0 Explained: There is not one proposed “Chat Control” law — there are two, and they are moving through the EU institutions in parallel. This page untangles the two.

I am extremely disappointed with Freesound's AI policy so far...

They auto-opt in all creators to allow their sounds to be used for training generative machine learning models....

Without a way to opt-out.

Get phucked.

On the topic of #ChatControl, I already started working a few days ago on an english video about my favorite FOSS instant messengers and the ones I think should be avoided. For now, you can take a look at my Software recommendations article on my website.
