So chuffed I found Aegis https://getaegis.app/ (I install via F-Droid, not Google Play) as a TOTP (replacing Google Authenticator on my phone)... it allows encrypted export of configuration so I can rebuild my phone (LineageOS 21 dontchaknow) and recreate all my auth stuff without missing a beat. Used to be really painful, and hated depending on Google.

The Belgian presidency has drafted yet another tweaked #chatcontrol proposal. In summary, the proposal remains completely unacceptable.
TLDR: All the problems pointed our in our earlier open letters are still there

b) the huge number of false positives (no waiting for 2 alerts does not work)
c) the fact that the real targets will use other technologies (e.g. sharing links to encrypted files).
d) chilling effect on teenagers.Summary of latest proposal:
- Detection of known CSAM and of new CSAM using AI (2 hits before you are reported) remain fully unacceptable because it just does not work for technical reasons pointed out earlier.
- Grooming detection in text and audio is abandoned; information is pseudonymized before it is reported (presumably identity of the user is known)
- User has to give consent before the client side scanning; details are not known but it is unclear what happens if consent is not given – is the message not sent? Why do policy makes believe that popups solve problems (cookies anyone)?

@sam is starting a bike repair business in Smyrna, GA serving the Atlanta metro area. My wife just went on a 25 mile ride on her 15 year old Jamis road bike after Sam tuned it up and replaced the drive train. She said it road like new!
Great knowledge, superior workmanship, friendly service, and fair prices. I cannot give a higher recommendation.
The Fedi community is large, but sparse. I’d really appreciate boosts so that cyclists near me have the best chance to see this.

much respect to people who triage crasher reports in widely-used software like browsers. requires an iron belief that things happens for reasons and that you can find them out, all the while knowing the reason might be "the sun is particularly spicy at the moment"

Today in Labor History May 23, 1903: Thousands of children went on strike in the textile mills of Philadelphia. On July 7, Mother Jones began the March of the Mill Children from Philadelphia to President Theodore Roosevelt’s Long Island summer home in Oyster Bay, New York, to publicize the deplorable conditions for child laborers. He refused to see them.
During this march, she delivered the “The Wail of the Children” speech in which she said: “In Georgia where children work day and night in the cotton mills, they have just passed a bill to protect song birds. What about the little children from whom all song is gone?” It was also during that speech when she said, “I asked a man in prison once how he happened to get there. He had stolen a pair of shoes. I told him that if he had stolen a railroad he could be a United States Senator. One hour of justice is worth an age of praying.”

That's the same with founders and CEOs and everybody else above you in your workplace, too, just so you know.

This morning #Slack sent me a warning that my mobile OS will not be supported any more from Sep 1. This seems to me a big 🖕 to users (also: we are paying users!).
Stopping supporting desktop OS is tolerable because the browser version works well and you are still notified etc, but on mobile is a totally different matter.
My Android phone is everything but old, I don't waste money changing it every 6 months.
