Actually, do you have PeerTube as the fediverse ActivityPub alternative to YouTube?

I'd rather watch it on #federated & #opensource platform like PeerTube. :)

take a look please: keepandroidopen.org/en/

Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over #government ID.

How-To Geek wrote a great article about swapping Gmail's app for Thunderbird on Android:

"It's a free, open-source, privacy-focused app, and it makes email feel like it used to."

Palantir should have no place in the UK's digital systems.

The government must completely break our dependency on US tech firms.

It'll deliver better value for money and protect our national security from foreign interference.

Invest in open source, not Trumpian tech bros!

London Mayor Sadiq Khan shows Palantir the door 🚪

This decision recognises that Big Tech has been grifting the UK for years, by locking us into their exclusive products, jacking up the fees and exporting profits.

The future is open source, NOT shady US spyware companies.

It's time for Digital Sovereignty 🌱

New from me: France is done with US big tech companies—arguably its moving away from American tech faster than other countries in Europe

The French government has built its own replacement for Google Docs/Microsoft Office. Cities, including Lyon, are moving to Linux and other tech. Open source is at the center of their efforts.

When your data touches a US-owned platform, it falls under US law — no matter where in Europe you are.

The CLOUD Act, surveillance capitalism, AI tools reading your emails… Europe's dependence on US tech has become a sovereignty crisis.

We've written about what's at stake and what Europe is doing about it.

Yesterday, I published an article on some of the rights that you can exercise in software freedom *even if* your upstream has violated the #copyleft license. While their violation *will* limit your options, ∃ many useful activities that you still have rights to pursue.

While recent events inspired this, other situations are similar.

IANAL & TINLA.

How does Fedora process patches for security vulnerabilities? The short answer is that we work to stay on top of the news to implement patches, working in the community and with Red Hat for updates.

The long answer: fedoramagazine.org/how-fedora-…

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is keep your system updated. :)

#Fedora #Linux #Cybersecurity #InfoSec #OpenSource


Thanks to AI, hackers quickly discovered new vulnerabilities such as CopyFail, DirtyFrag, and Fragnesia. They use LLMs to analyse Linux, finding and exploiting the security flaws faster than ever. The expertise required to hack is at an all-time low.

The Fedora Project decided to explain which precautions are being put in place to protect your system:

🇪🇺 We signed the open letter calling for an Open Source First approach in Europe.

The question public institutions should ask first is simple:

🤔 Is there already a qualified open-source solution that does the job?

If yes, it should be seriously considered before creating new dependencies.

That is how digital sovereignty becomes real.

🆕 blog! “UK Government Kicks Out Palantir”

The UK Government, for all its faults, is pretty good at publishing contracts it has awarded. That's why I get depressed when I see rage-bait nonsense about how companies have been award "Top Secret" deals.

Right now you can go to contractsfinder.service.gov.uk and search for whichever bête noire has you riled up. You …

There is a new #friendica app github.com/LiveFastEatTrashRac… - looks super good and I've heard they are promoting our instance too since it is quite lively and reliable.

I only tested the app a bit since I do not use mu phone much, but hey @Rokosun maybe you should give it a try! :) Maybe we finally have a great Friendica app :)

Kudos to the people who are making these things. You are awesome people!

Recent LMS security events are a good reminder to keep course content under your own control. For educators comfortable with web hosting, the new Grav Helios Course Hub offers a full-featured course companion site built on portable Markdown files. For a no-setup option, Docsify-This instantly turns Markdown files into web pages or a site. All content can also be then seamlessly embedded into an LMS if needed.
