Brazil’s Bill 3066/2025 intends to tackle CSAM, but the bill operates by expanding punishment based on the use of tools such as VPNs. Article 226-A effectively associates VPNS with criminal activity, disregarding their established role in digital security. https://www.poder360.com.br/opiniao/protecao-infantil-erra-ao-penalizar-ferramentas-de-seguranca-digital/

cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/64124723 A few days ago, I did a controversial blog post about Pixelfed hurting the Fediverse. I defended the theory that, in a communication network, you hurt the trust in the whole network if you create clients that arbitrarily drop messages, something that Pixelfed is doing deliberately. It gathered a lot of reactions.

When people are disconnected from the internet, it can impact everything — access to essential info, how they receive medical care, or communication with loved ones. Whether it’s from the government or natural disasters, you can prep in advance to limit the impact of such shutdowns. 🧵 (1/9)

Mark @marxjohnson Mark Mark! Watch the @cooklang talk from #oggcamp! You could slot that into your recipe workflow. The Joplin plugin should be updated to export it. There’s a recipe (!) for a Pi-based kitchen screen on the website too.

🇵🇱 "Dokładnie sto lat temu - 12 maja 1926 roku - polscy żołnierze zaczęli do siebie strzelać na ulicach Warszawy.Zginęło łącznie 379 osób, a około 1000 zostało rannych. W większości artykułów o przewrocie zobaczycie fotografie Piłsudskiego i jego oficerów. Tymczasem ofiarami walk - jak zwykle - nie byli ci, którzy do nich doprowadzili, ale szeregowi żołnierze czy mieszkańcy miasta. Normalni ludzie, których trzeba było pochować. Być może nie byłoby zamachu majowego, gdyby nie zamordowanie prezydenta Narutowicza po antysemickiej nagonce oraz lata kryzysu gospodarczego, na który kolejne chaotycznie powstające i upadające koalicje narodowo-chłopskie odpowiadały przemocą wobec protestujących robotników. Po zamachu majowym była za to na pewno dyktatura sanacyjnych pułkowników, której zawdzięczamy proces brzeski, krwawe tłumienie strajków, Berezę Kartuską i bohaterską ucieczkę do Rumunii we wrześniu 1939 roku.Hańba!"#Polska #historia #ZamachMajowy #Dyktatura #sanacja
