It is important to make distinctions:

• as politicians they can use and campaign in whatever platform they want.
• As Government officials, they must be forced by legislation to use a Government Federated instance so everyone has access to their communication and no Big Tech oligarch has the power to decide how these messages reach the population.

Unwilling and also bribed with millions by the BigTech Lobby

same for Twitter for politicians […] “Yeah I want to move away from Twitter, but all the journalists are on there”. Journalists: “Yeah I want to move away from Twitter, but I will miss all the politician’s messages.”

I think this should be solved by legislation. There are already many European government instances, and think its the way. it’s a risk that institutional communications depend on some billionaire’s whim. A legislation that forces politicians (at least the ones in office) to use the corresponding governmental fediverse instances could solve these problems.

It’s very bad title but I didn’t want to change the original

CEO funds right-wing “re-migrate” party in Sweden.

I don’t know if you wrote this in bad faith, but there are many alternative chat applications and platforms mentioned during the video that are more secure than signal.

I agree, the title of the video is awful.

The author mentions many times how they support Signal, but we shouldnt just accept their excuses for the lack of advancement on certain issues just because it’s the most convenient option.

Thanks for this comment, I was looking for the licensing details of this yoinking process but you saved me that effort

and never contribute back

all while having used stolen content through LLM development.

Could also be applied to the Spanish Socialist Party

Yes that’s another ick, GPL would make me consider collaborating.

They have been trying for years, and the last EU elections really shifted the whole congress towards the right. With EPP having so much power, it will really be difficult to defend any kind of rights against Big Tech or any corporation rich enough to shower them in lobby money.

Well said. We have converted our cities in hostile places for every kind of life that doesn’t require money. Obviously the younger generations are the ones suffering the most, and social media is a big crutch to alleviate that.

the Linke has a ton of liberal zionists in its leadership, lots of two state solution both sides bullshit,

To me this was the main concern when I first heard the news about the election results. I would like for them to stand on a solid anti-zionist stance. Either way, I’m kinda glad about SPD and Grune bad results, hopefully their voters see them as what they really are, because at this pace its obvious they won’t abandon their neo-liberal ways.

Thanks for your take

Germany is a USA satellite state.

“Leftwing donor” its a very funny way to name him. Hides the fact that it’s mostly for his support for Palestine. Opening with the accusation instead of the fact that is just donations to Gaza kitchens is also ugly redacting. Dirty theGuardian article Its still good news that people in Spain are pressuring to not extradite him, Government can’t keep contradicting itself saying they support Palestinian cause and then doing the same as any zionist government.

Once again an European liberal-conservative making deals with their zionist master. Also, great investment, $3.5B in air defense systems that are defeated by a bunch of cheap drones.

Good news, version 9 was released not long ago so I’ll update later to check the changes :)

My favourite plugin is Zotero Syllabus, you can organize collections in Markdown file with notes.

A bit off-topic: I’m looking to de-rust my calculus and linear algebra skills. I have taken courses on Machine Learning and Deep Learning but they were mostly applied rather than theory. I could explain most operations and phenomena like exploding/diminishing gradient but I’m not sure if I could explain it in a formulaic way. I tried taking RL course, and while I understand the concepts, when it comes to understanding the formulas I found myself quite lost. I feel like I have forgotten some of the foundations.

Any book / course you’d recommend for this? I even thought about paying for something like Brilliant but I’m very hesitant about that.

The Greens of Germany and Austria are nothing but neo-liberal gardeners disguised as an alternative, their support for the Zionist entity makes it obvious.

Thank you for your work, let’s keep our freedom and rights!
