Oh dear, the Belgian government's #cybersecurity centre manages to write an entire page about the #EndOf10 without mentioning any other operating system than #Microsoft #Windows. Instead of telling people they might want switch to e.g. #Linux, they suggest to: * pay Microsoft for #ESU, or * buy a new computer. 😤

"The challenge is not simply to build a “Dutch cloud” or “European #cloud” as nationalistic alternatives, but to develop alternative visions for the role of computing in society that prioritize people over profit maximization," writes [@C__CS]( ) in this excellent critique of Europe's #DigitalSovereignty debate and the so-called #EuroStack. #foss #digitalfreedom #digitalrights
Okay I've used up all other options, so now it's #FollowerPower and #FediMagic : Would someone here be able to help me fix my broken #Yunohost instance? I've been without email for several weeks now 😓 All apps and admin interface work without problems, but #Dovecot fails to start with a cryptic #SSL error. I've tried the forum of course but so far without success. Happy to share logs and all. Thanks a million! 🙏
Remember when the @npub1shla...f60y found the @European Commission's use of #Microsoft's #Office365 was in breach of #dataprotection law? Looks like they've found a way to use that software differently "in cooperation with Microsoft" and the EDPS has now closed the investigation.
Brilliant! [@Anwalt_Jun]( ) sues his car dealer and carmaker #MG for using #FOSS components while disrespecting free software licence requirements. Jun argues that makes his car potentially useless as he cannot use the car's software legally. 👌 #freesoftware #ConsumerRights #DigitalRights
It felt like kindergarten to do it but this week we @EDRi +others filed a complaint against #Google with the @European Commission for breach of the #DigitalMarketsAct. Despite the #DMA's clear obligation for #gatekeepers to allow you to uninstall pre-installed apps, #Alphabet claims this can also mean disabling. Yes seriously. So we wrote a 7-page explanation why disable ≠ uninstall. The complaint was filed together with @npub1d4vk...lvl3, @npub16xnv...g7f8, @npub1ak90...l8u5, @npub1qapk...8fc5 and @npub1lggd...cfpn 🙏
A prominent MEP -- Tiemo @npub1kldu...xset -- is suing the @European Commission for "failing to adequately explain why it withdrew two pieces of EU legislation shortly after President Ursula von der Leyen met with U.S. Vice President JD Vance," according to Politico. Wölken says "he has filed a court challenge because the Commission delayed responding to his requests for access to documents" regarding the withdrawal of the EU’s proposed regulations on #patents and #AILiability. #AIL #VdL #AI
