@yoyoel Do you have an idea what was put in harm's way by what was done by these twitter employees? Free speech is not absolute? What is it? Does it not matter that an election is fair and not manipulated?

👀 Sajid Javid has announced he’ll step down as an MP.

As home secretary he approved the US request to extradite Julian #Assange

He also attended 6 meetings organised by a US institute which published calls for Assange to be assassinated or taken down

The enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend. #Apple  is the largest natural monopoly in the tech industry. They have far too much power with their App Store lock-in.

Apple caves to the demands of repressive regimes in the US, Israel, and China. Apple actively deplatforms sex workers. Apple exploits poor workers in China and the global south.

We can praise some of Apple's privacy decisions (e.g. standing up to governments pushing for crypto backdoors) while also recognizing that no corporation will EVER have your best interests in mind.

We must bring all tech companies to heel with regulation. We also need to build alternative digital ecosystems that don't rely on monopolistic private companies.

Elon Musk appears to have out-sourced decisions about who to ban from Twitter to the platform’s right-wing extremists https://theintercept.com/2022/11/29/elon-musk-twitter-andy-ngo-antifascist/

This last week, at the request of right-wing extremists and in response to platform manipulation, Twitter has banned the accounts of @chadloder, @VPS_Reports, @CrimethInc, and @efjbgc.

FYI: The US Military is the largest single greenhouse gas emitter in the world.

Per accedere a #YouTube da browser è consigliatissimo usare un'istanza #Invidious il cui frontend è altamente personalizzabile e permette di fare molte più cose rispetto al frontend di YouTube stesso.

Tuttavia quando si linkano filmati trovo sia più sensato usare i link originali di Youtube. Questo perchè l'Istanza Invidious linkata potrebbe rompersi e perchè magari chi guarda preferirebbe farlo da un'Istanza Invidious diversa o attraverso frontend alternativi pure ad Invidious.

Per questo motivo penso sia più sensato postare i link che puntano a Youtube e lasciare che ohni utente si adoperi perchè quel link sia aperto in altro modo. Su Firefox per esempio ci sono diversi plugin che deviano i link di YouTube all'Istanza Invidious preferita

#Apple has #removed all #tweets from its Twitter Account

Reason
Dunno

Glenn Greenwald is one of the journalists I respect very much. Maybe the reason is #Snowden's saga which I've been following since the beginning.

It's pity that even Snowden's sacrifice did not open eyes of so many.

"[S]ources say" was only added after an outcry. Everybody knew the place was highly surveilled; a claim without footage/visitor logs wasn't credible. So #Grauniad took the weasel option of "anonymous intel source." Plus, server logs indicate a local download, not a Russian hack.

@TinodiGacco Ti diro', al contrario, io non sono molto d'accordo con G.Greenwald, penso che Musk ci sia dentro mani e piedi, basta vedere Starlink che e' una tecnologia militare essenziale in ucraina, stessa storia per gli appalti con la Nasa. Pero' sarebbe secondo me un errore pensare al suddetto complesso come un moloch senza conflitti interni, di recente proprio a proposito di starlink e ucraina Musk ha mostrato qualche insofferenza, non escuderei che glie la facciano pagare :D

Oggi l'Italia scopre che l'1,1% della popolazione è analfabeta strumentale (non sa scrivere e leggere) e il 47% è analfabeta funzionale (non sa comprendere, valutare e usare le informazioni).

Benvenuti nel mondo reale che i dati ISTAT e OCSE raccontano da decenni.

Questi dati sono anche causati dagli enormi tagli all'istruzione pubblica negli ultimi decenni e dalla totale mancanza di investimenti e interesse per l'educazione di tutti i recenti governi (di destra e di sinistra).

Siamo tra i paesi con più analfabeti funzionali in Europa.
