For those of you, like me, watching America’s rapid descent into fascism in abject horror from the sidelines in Europe, remember: where America goes, the West soon follows. If we don’t like where that is, we must do better than doing the same things and hoping for different outcomes.

What I’m saying is America is a warning, not an instruction manual.

23 rekomendacje pierwszego europejskiego panelu obywatelskiego - na temat przeciwdziałania marnowaniu żywności.
https://commission.europa.eu/document/4107f205-ca9e-435f-8060-24505bbc599e_en
Gorąco popieramy panele obywatelskie, o ile tylko ich wyniki są potem wdrażane, a nie trafiają do szuflady.

At #FOSDEM, @marcel_kolaja will present the #EU pilot project to look into open-sourcing the EU's apps and publishing them outside of #BigTech including on @fdroidorg. @eighthave will join, talking about how F-Droid will help pull the EU towards #FreeSoftware.

(sorry for copying the post, but for some reason we can't boost it)

One of the benefits of #Mastodon being #OpenSource: The EU can help make it more secure.

"Awards of up to EUR 5000 are available for finding security vulnerabilities in LibreOffice, LEOS, Mastodon, Odoo and CryptPad, open source solutions used by public services across the European Union. There is a 20% bonus for providing a code fix for the bugs they discover."

Now imagine if Mastodon didn’t exist and this was happening.…

Aren’t we lucky that some guy in Germany decided to spend his own time, money, and effort to build it?

Hopefully we’ll get lucky again…

Or, you know, maybe we can finally consider supporting tech that’s in the common good from the common purse. And fund organisations and long-term development, not just ad-hoc academic “projects” that get abandoned the moment the money is gone.

Content warning: GDPR and Mastodon


The #RightToRepair Initiative published a clear and nice illustrated summary about the current #EU Commission's draft act for the new #Ecodesign rules on #smartphones and tablets.

The good, the bad and the ugly: https://repair.eu/news/new-eu-rules-on-smartphones-and-tablets-have-your-say/


funny thing: there were multiple cases when data was locked away and copyrighted in Hungary but the gov't was forced to forward it to Europeana where it was published under CC0. We Hungarians often get Hunagrian data only from the #EU. Thanks, gals and guys.
