German politicians are allowed to openly discuss "remigration" on national TV. Let's be real: It's deportation, fascist, illegal and unhuman. But a song about coming together to form opposition against fascists can't be shown? Fuck that. Go watch it: invidious.tiekoetter.com/watch?v=Gg-S...

📅Morgen 15.07 – 18h – online💻 Die Spitzen von Union & SPD wollen das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz abschaffen. Mit @mehrdemokratie.bsky.social & @netzwerkrecherche.org diskutieren wir die Konsequenzen für Journalismus, Zivilgesellschaft & Politik. ➡️ Anmeldung: www.mehr-demokratie.de/mehr-bewegen...

look ma, deathrays. ma? www.engadget.com/2212600/fcc-...

The silence of @eurosky.social and @mu.social on this matter is deafening too. atproto doesn't have privacy by design, so legislation matters even more here.

What used to be a huge anomaly just 10 months ago is a sad reality now. Vite passed 150m downloads/week, more than 25m on a single weekday. all you genAI folks driving this, the words i'd like to scream at you would get me banned here, so **** ***** *****. www.npmcharts.com/compare/vite...

CHAT CONTROL IS BACK → Today the urgent procedure for Chat Control 1.0 was passed. Next up: EU Parliament is voting on Thursday. If Chat Control passes your messages, pictures, videos will all be scanned because the law will require it - this removes privacy & welcomes mass surveillance in the EU.

The EU Council is trying to undermine our rights to privacy and after being shot down repeatedly they now resort to trickery www.heise.de/en/news/Chat... The more they push the harder we have to push back. Contact your MEP via fightchatcontrol.eu#contact-tool. Tell everyone. Be loud.

Die Spitzen von CDU, CSU und SPD wollen das Informationsfreiheitsgesetz abschaffen – einen Grundpfeiler unserer Demokratie. 2025 haben wir den Angriff der Union aufs IFG gemeinsam abgewehrt. Das schaffen wir auch heute – unterzeichnet jetzt unsere WeAct-Petition! weact.campact.de/petitions/sp...

NEU: Die Bundesregierung plant den schwersten Angriff auf staatliche Transparenz in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Das IFG soll abgeschafft werden. Das ist nicht nur ein Bruch des Koalitionsvertrags, sondern beschädigt Presse- und Informationsfreiheit massiv. fragdenstaat.de/artikel/poli...

noyb.eu/en/us-suprem... Any day is a good day to switch, but it it's di.day again on sunday and the list of reasons to leave us based services just got longer. What are you waiting for?

Lets put an AI button on feature phones. www.notebookcheck.net/Leak-reveals... Small cpu/memory ensures this isn't for on-device processing but sent to the cloud. Your communication is the product and they want you to pay for it on top. don't do it.

🚨 They are bringing back #ChatControl 🚨 Metsola doesn't understand that no means no. Discussion is scheduled for Monday, so act now: fightchatcontrol.eu #No2Surveillance #Privacy #Security

search isn't the only google product getting worse. Soon you're going to have a very hard time publishing android apps without paying them a fee and handing over government id. And your users will have to complete a complex opt-in process tied to play-services. keepandroidopen.org

Open source ran for 30 years on a hidden assumption: a working patch = real human attention. AI broke that. Plausible-looking code is nearly free to generate, but human understanding is not.

Schon erstaunlich, wie gut die PR von #WSocial funktioniert: Breiteste Berichterstattung sogar in Fernsehnachrichten bei unkritischer Wiederholung der Talking Points des Startups plus Werbetweets durch von der Leyen. Dabei sollte man schon genauer hinschauen: netzpolitik.org/2026/soziale...

🚨 Google is now asking you to grant camera access and show your hands to prove you're a human?! --> I am not a robot tests have officially gone to far. Just when you think the Big Tech can't get more privacy-invading, it does! 🫣 #Google #verification #privacy

We're celebrating Digital Sovereignty week 🇪🇺🎉  + To celebrate #DigitalSovereignty we're giving away Tuta's Legend plan to one lucky person.  To win one year of Legend 🌟 with early access to Drive 🌟  all you need to is tell us how you're becoming digitally sovereign 🔐

Our statement on the UK gov't's demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the UK be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification & content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/20...

Our full conversation with Andrew Kelley, creator of Zig, is out now. No AI policy, leaving GitHub, a $670K nonprofit, and why there's no 1.0 (yet). Watch here: jb.gg/zig-interview

Their infrastructure not depending on github and discord is very refreshing to see. There's so much talk about reducing dependencies, please don't just focus on lockfiles when there is a much bigger picture to look at.

"In addition, an AI model will automatically assess in the background whether the user is an adult; based on existing account age, device, and activity data." Activity data like message content and usage habits. Profiling every user in the background. Discord is for sale and so is your data. Leave

🚨Warning: #Discord age verification is going live any day now. While huge public backlash put Discord's plans on hold, they were never abandoned. 👉 Learn here what's next & how to protect your #identity: tuta.com/blog/discord... #IDcheck #anonymity #privacy #AgeVerification

turns out deleting all your @tangled.org records on your pds is not enough, some data still remains tangled.org/tangled.org/... tangled.org/terms is full of gems, but "governed by the laws of Finland, without regard to its conflict of law provisions" takes the cake. This is not how laws work.

The actions of google in the past few weeks are just a glimpse of what is coming. Open the website, Chrome. I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that. Literally. There won't be a way to enter a url or click a link, just a dystopian simulation to keep and manipulate you. Find alternatives now.

npms staged publishing is not *gold standard* or *the missing piece*. It was long overdue (the first RFC for it is over 5 years old) github.com/npm/rfcs/pul... docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/comm... and only addresses one attack vector if maintainers opt-in by updating their publishing workflow.

All of you supporting and using these ai tools, are you happy yet with killing the web? None of this is inevitable, your actions make it possible.

When you have unlimited tokens budget...

Remember how amazon undercut 3rd party sellers profitable products utilizing insider information? Keep playing code casino to find out what these honorable ai companies are going to do with your inputs.

Turns out deleting your @tangled.org account is a lot more complicated than signing up. tangled.org/did:plc:j5hm...

The *trust* in oidc trusted publishing from @github.com to @npmjs.bsky.social is broken. Signatures contain metadata about repo/branch/workflow and award a nice green checkmark, but tell you nothing about the configuration, code that was executed or the published content.

There's a time and place for AI. It's never, and nowhere.

Apple and Google are gradually expanding their use of hardware-based attestation. They're convincing a growing number of services to adopt it. Google's Play Integrity API and Apple's App Attest API are very similar. Apple brought it to the web via Privacy Pass, which Google intends on doing too.

Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB Gemini Nano AI model on your device ❌ No consent ❌ No opt-in ❌ No real opt-out for regular users This isn’t a small experiment & it’s on billions of devices. ➡️ Read more: www.thatprivacyguy.com/blog/chrome-...

we need IDEs that do not contain ai features at all. github.com/microsoft/vs... @zed.dev any chance you are going to release a variant? central opt-out switches are not enough

This di.day is my hardest yet. Bye discord, github and npmjs registry. (there may be some cleanup activities in the coming days but no more active contributions, accounts are inactivated to prevent imposter takeover) Unfortunately this means i also am no longer an active vite team member.

Is there a static web hoster in Europe that blocks LLM traffic? Is that even truly possible? I’m constantly seeing Cloudflare’s approach and I’m not sure how effective it is – while significantly downgrading the user experience for humans.

@tangled.org is introducing a social scoring system under the guise of llm spam filtering. blog.tangled.org/vouching/ The fact that a downvote is called "denounce" speaks volumes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denunci... Are users asked for their consent to be put on these lists in *public* records?

@vite.dev would not be the same without @sapphi.red Thank you so much for your incredible work over 4 years Sapphi!

how in the world are tech companies getting away with playing the end of history card?

Long weekend coming up in europe with labor day on may 1st and Sunday it's di.day again. Good occasion to leave and boycott services that are outright hostile to their own users and even employees (Hey meta, microsoft, google, ...)

The process to secure oidc publishing from github actions to the npmjs.com registry is too complex and insecure by default. If you use it, you *must* set up an environment with branch protection rules or a single leaked gh token with write access can turn your package into malware.

Shipping 7.0 without programmatic api is a mistake. This alias mapping + reexport is going to be a messy web come 6-8 months when 7.1 rolls out

vitest and vite (and a lot of others) have seen a big increase in their npm download stats since start of 2026. www.npmcharts.com/compare/vite... But for me this is not a reason to celebrate.

You've seen a very small sample size of reports they actually sent. The is just another round of the "oh we made something so powerful" marketing schtick. I'm tired.

Manifold Security tricked Claude' GitHub bot to merge malicious code to repositories by spoofing their requests under the names of famous developers www.manifold.security/blog/spoofed...

did @npmjs.bsky.social just break `pnpm audit` for everyone? This must be the improved supplychain security work they are talking about... github.com/pnpm/pnpm/is...

The "pnpm docs" and "pnpm home" commands will open @npmx.dev in pnpm v11.

It really bothers me that so many posts of the people i am following no longer contain links. The web is links, you are breaking it.
