Den Epstein-Akten kann man vieles Entlarvende entnehmen. Darunter auch Belege, worum es zumindest Teilen der rechtsextremen Führung und vor allem fast allen ihren reichen Unterstützern geht: Eigene Bereicherung zu Lasten von denen, die glauben, „endlich“ würde jemand ihre Interessen vertreten.

Bannon schrieb Epstein, zusammen könnte man den rechten [gemeint ist rechtsextremen] Anteil im Europaparlament so erhöhen, dass man Einfluss auf die Krypto-Regulierung nehmen könne #noafd

#SocialMediaVerbote: Klingt für viele attraktiv. Aber es funktioniert nicht. Es ist keine Lösung.

„It has been almost two months since Australia's world-first social media ban for under-16s came into effect, and for Adyan, 14, life has not changed too much.

"I thought the ban would be, like, way more strict, but it ended up being really, like, chill, like, nothing happened," he said.

"It's completely useless."“

Open source security is often overlooked until a crisis hits. Join Miaolai Zhou at this year's FOSS Backstage, where she will compare the impact of volunteers versus dedicated, full-time security engineers within the Python and Ruby ecosystems. She will highlight how consistent investment can strengthen community resilience and reduce risk, proving that security is an essential strategy, not a cost.

Ich war wieder bei #TheyTalkTech , dem Podcast von @evawolfangel und @sveckert.

Wir haben über den Fall von Jolie geredet und was nötig ist, um bildbasierte #DigitaleGewalt effektiv zu bekämpfen.

Spoiler: Mehr Strafrecht ist es nicht.

Zum Schluss ging's noch kurz um #SocialMediaVerbote..

So it is #worldcancerday …Two thoughts:
1. Fuck cancer
2. Early detection is the best way to do 1.

Be well, get screened, don’t miss even one test, catch this bastard early….

Writing a detailed plan to fork, as a disaster recovery plan for tomorrow, is a great way to identify places where you should be investing more deeply in an open source project today. At this year's FOSS Backstage, @rbowen explains why you should plan to fork – so you don't have to.

@anna @russss @RichiH plus: a huge thank you to each and every volunteer making Fosdem not only possible but improving it every year in particular given the size and growth of the event!

I loved the energy in the Create‑a‑Critter workshop at #fosdemjunior #fosdem Children explored @turtlestitch coding and decorated a colourful range of imaginative critters (with a little help from their parents). @fosdem

Anyone needs a European Sleeper night train ticket from Brussels to Berlin for tomorrow Wednesday the 4th of February? I cannot take the train, I can't cancel the ticket but it's transferable.

:BoostOK:

#fosdem #teamnighttrain

@anna @russss @RichiH it's awesome to hear you're putting that in the post mortem list.

From my personal point of view, two ways to publish would be really helpful:

Visible in the room itself, maybe next to the Winkekatze, so people in the room have a reminder to open windows in front of their eyes. Visible in the schedule like the room full icons to make sure I don't walk to an already stuffy room... (Ideal world thinking, I know)

Would be good if the EU could follow suit.

Hidden car door handles and lack of fully mechanical door opening is a massive safety failing.

Unified chargers, free roaming, travel, study and work everywhere in the EU, simple bank transfers with SEPA and Wero. EU makes life better. It' definitely not GoodEnough™ in all parts.Work remains to be done. And that's worth doing!

@anneroth die Menschen, denen das in meinem Bekanntenkreis auffällt, sind häufig zwischen reiner Technik und den Geisteswissenschaften unterwegs - meiner Meinung gibt es davon noch viel zu wenige

@anneroth es gibt Menschen, die das verstehen und dir dafür dankbar sind. Einige davon haben gesehen, wie insbesondere Nerds immer und immer wieder den Fehler gemacht haben, Worte zu nutzen, deren Bedeutung nur halb auf das passt, was sie sagen wollen - nur um sich Jahre später immer und immer wieder darüber zu beklagen, dass sie falsch verstanden werden.
