I love learning. Tech, open-source, human centered tech. Solar :)
Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.
You know what doesn't cause apocalyptic skylines and wildfires? Solar panels. Can we stop burning fossil fuels and just start massively investing more in renewables and battery tech, please?
Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the EU. In light of yesterday's vote, we wanted to remind you that: Chat Control 1.0 is different from Chat Control 2.0 in that providers (like us at Tuta) are not forced to backdoor their end-to-end encryption for surveillance.

So the whole push to switch from US tech to EU tech was a lie to just allow the powers-that-be gain more info and data upon a global level. #EU are traitors to the people. Not surprised. They don’t care about anyone same as US. #BigTech #DataPrivacy
The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start. This is not democratic‼️
Norway will always be the GOAT of the energy transition. Instead of talking about the future, they proved it could be done & showed how. In 15 years, new car sales went from 0% to 99% electric, while the rest of the world kept arguing about timing and speed. #Bettrification #EV
The math on nuclear energy really doesn't make sense anymore. "...the average cost of building new wind and solar facilities ordered this year by Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator is about 70 per cent lower than the estimated cost of a new large-scale nuclear power plant."

It is called Android Developer Verifier (ADV), and the free software community refers to it by its technical name: malware.
Google installed a root-privileged process on 4 billion Android devices, with no option to remove it: F-Droid calls it malware - Sinaptica

Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.
People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.
GrapheneOS opposes authoritarianism. It's a core part of why we're building privacy technology as part of a non-profit open source project. We're opposed to it regardless of whether it comes from left, center or right. The flood of people lying about what we believe and have said won't change this.

Success, that raises all our boats, is also built in communion with community — drawing on collective cooperation, exchanges of experience, expertise, wisdom, and shared creativity.
Success is built in silence, earned through struggle, and revealed through results.
Omg it’s literally falling out of the sky for free and people still think voting for Farage in this country is a good idea when he wants more fossil fuels. I just can’t understand their upside down thinking. They’re surfs doomed to vote fore more serfdom. Turkeys. Voting for Xmas.
Android was successful due to being open source and an open platform. Google chose that approach to catch up and get near universal adoption by OEMs and carriers. They've gradually phased in illegal anti-competitive practices making it into a bait and switch. They can be forced to roll it all back.
Resolving most of Google's anti-competitive behavior with Android would be straightforward for regulators: ban the Google Mobile Services licensing model and require Google to make their apps and services work on any AOSP-based OS without privacy invasive access and massive control over the OS.
I think we would be better off with clean water and affordable electricity than a Google that scans information and summarizes for us.
The Seven Social Sins are: Wealth without work. Pleasure without conscience. Knowledge without character. Commerce without morality. Science without humanity. Worship without sacrifice. Politics without principle. -Frederick Lewis Donaldson in Westminster Abbey, London, on March 20, 1925
This might be one of the funniest chart about energy scenarios I’ve seen. You can hardly see “actual” for gas
"The mere existence of trillionaires is a major political and economic problem, probably the defining issue of our time," writes @gabrielzucman.bsky.social. "When the power of wealth is wielded by sociopaths, the consequences are a matter of life and death."
The era of trillionaires will be dire for democracy. Here is how we can fight back | Gabriel Zucman
There is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy. That’s because extreme wealth is always an extreme power
