⚠️ Edit: I'm happy to share that this news seems to have been disproven! Link: https://github.com/MinBZK/nl-wallet/issues/34 ⚠️
There are so many initiatives within the Dutch gov to choose ethical tech, and then you find out about this..
The NL Wallet, the Dutch gov version of the identification service that's being build by all EU member states, will only be available for citizens with a Google or Apple account 🤦♀️

I just published a new FOSS app/service age attestation/verification tracker to track which FOSS apps/services can be used with a peace of mind, without giving out sensitive data "to protect children"

Age verification and surveillance coming full force, to europe.
Good summary of the situation here:

‘Like a Klingon prison’: inside Barack Obama’s audacious, near-windowless, $850m presidential library
Behold the $850m Obamalisk – or, as it sometimes feels morbidly like, the Obamausoleum.
The Words “YOU ARE AMERICA,” you can just about make out, before the words dissolve into an illegible sea of letters. “I don’t know why it’s in Latin,” one confused local resident told me. The lorem ipsum vibes are real.

Pray for California primaries tomorrow that we have a silent majority that will turn this state the red we believe it really is. We may again never know because Newsome's ego and the fraud machine won’t allow it. Bianco can make this state great again and Pratt for Mayor of LA (I can’t vote for him but am rooting for him). I’m hoping there are spies here and the fraud machine may be exposed from her with this election. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
on it, and I think that makes it more likely it is someone from moderaterna.
It surely cannot be the nationalist party, because that would have been broadcasat by the socialist public TV in a nanosecond.
So my bet is Moderaterna. The socialists have an ex-imnister, Shejkarabi, but he is too senior to be that stupid.
Will be interesting to see if my speculations are right in the next week or so.
D*mn it! Election time and of course the dirt starts to pop up. A swedish member of parliament has been caught with child pornography.
The party has not been announced, but the politician is from uppsala, and only 13 M.P.s are from uppsala, out of those, women can most likely be discarded.
Out of the remaining ones, a semi-conservative stopped tweeting the day of the raid of the politicians home, so my bet is "Moderaterna".
Another article said police, prosecutors and judges were also in

I used to love working in IT. I haven't been enjoying it for a while now. We did more and better BEFORE all the bullshit.
">companies and investors pour trillions into AI
>build data centers nobody asked for or wanted
>mass layoffs so you can replace senior devs with AI
>turns out AI/maintenance costs are astronomical
>is actually cheaper to just hire junior developers
>re-invent entry level jobs
This is how mass adoption of AI is going."

All of a sudden, the UK government blocking American commentators is a Bad Thing
Hasan Piker and Cenk Uygur were both due to speak at the SXSW London festival and an event in Oxford
The Home Office said their presence would not be conducive to the public good
When it was right-wingers getting banned, it was all AOK

About those idiots who think that the world is "over-populated"
These "experts" have no clue about the scale of the planet or how ridiculously small the human population really is...

One wonders if Snowden regrets throwing away his life to warn ungrateful Americans about unconstitutional NSA wire-tapping.
Ahh... the first tick of the season. I would not be sad if little f*ckers would just die.

Last evening, I spent quite a bit of time reading in "gemini space" using the La Grange application.
I am pleasantly surprised by how much there is to read there. People are still posting regularly, though the peak publishing seems to be around 2022 - 2024 (just my observation, not measured).
I do want to emphasis that I was *reading* and not just browsing. There's a very different feel to reading text over the Gemini protocol compared to browsing on the web, Fediverse included.
There's a lot less time spent scrolling and it feels more like *exploring*.
I like it, but is that just my tendency to move toward things that are lesser known and lesser used? "The path less traveled" does not always give the results that we are looking for.
I found reading on Gemini to be enjoyable. I'm not tied to that protocol as the solution to the current problems of the internet, as the older Gopher protocol is worth exploring, too. And maybe something a bit different will emerge, but if you are unfamiliar with Gemini... it is worth checking out.
