🤖 Italy has updated its copyright law to address the surge of AI!

In our latest blog post, COMMUNIA member Deborah De Angelis summarises the two main changes:

1. a clarification that only works of human authorship qualify for copyright protection, and

2. a confirmation of the application of the exceptions for text and data mining to AI training.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany-chat-control.pdf

PROTOCOLS not platforms.



Platform are ALWAYS problematic!

"For those Windows 10 users who haven't already, there's time to do the last #Windows update in your life — upgrade to Linux!

If you make the change now you won't need to link your computer to a #Microsoft account, pay Reward Points, upload your private data to corporate servers, or waste your hard-earned money on unnecessary fees."

Ten Days until the End of Windows 10. Sort of. Why Wait, Install #Linux Today!

PSA: Do not buy FuriLabs phone! Ask for a refund if you have ordered one.



FuriLabs advertises their phone as "transparency, freedom, and full control". This phone runs a custom fork of Mobian GNU/Linux called FuriOS.



Recently in their Matrix/Telegram group chat I had to witness that a contributor asking for the source code of their custom version of Andromeda, so that they could upstream the changes, but this request was denied by FuriLabs team member Barry.



This team member made up bullshit excuses as "it would take too much time" and saying extremely dismissive statements like "you can complain about it, but that won't change anything." and he called the important act providing the source code "low priority community stuff" and that they are more focused on making "money money money" (literal quote) right now.



Needless to say refusing to share source code and actively putting roadblocks and arguing with community members who only want to contribute should not be "low priority community stuff".



Considering that it just turned out that the source code of their Andromeda fork is proprietary that also makes me wonder what other software shipped on their phone is going to be proprietary.



Anyway this contributor -rightfully not being happy with the answer- continued the conversation. Eventually this contributor asked for a refund on the phone and FuriLabs member Wayne immediately banned them from the group chat. (They did approve the refund request though)



At this point I jumped into the conversation calling this sort of behavior extremely toxic and that I also find it extremely important that all source code is available.



This resulted in another in Wayne replying to me dismissively as well, making up excuses such as "We already have 100 repositories publicly available, 1 more isn't going to help you".



To be clear, I'm not asking for unreasonable things they can't even provide, such as source code for things the wireless modems or whatever.



We are only asking for the source code of existing free software projects that they modified.



Andromeda is licensed Apache 2.0 so yes they are technically allowed to make a proprietary fork, but if you're going to needlessly make proprietary forks, you really shouldn't advertise your phone as respecting freedom on your website.



This is against the spirit of freedom and especially terrible considering that FuriLabs was also allowed to have a stand to sell their phones at FOSDEM earlier this year.



Team member Barry eventually unbanned the contributor in question, but said "for anyone not aligning with our mission, there is always the option to part ways", which obviously prompted me to ask what their mission really is and if providing a phone with freedom and transparency is part of that mission.



They refused to answer this very simple question, and instead opted to also gave me a refund on the phone...



What an absolute disgrace, I hope they won't be allowed to show up at FOSDEM next year.

Privacy da incubo: Instagram lancia la mappa degli amici in Italia

La nuova mappa di Instagram consente di vedere dove si trovano gli amici e cosa pubblicano. Un nuovo grande problema per la privacy degli utenti. L'unica nota positiva è che Meta ha disattivato di default la condivisione della posizione, per attivarla l'utente dovrà andare nelle impostazioni dell'app. Ovviamente il consiglio è quello di NON attivare questa funzione.

@prealpinux@mastodon.uno @sicurezza non solo questione di privacy, è una pratica "tossica" per come abitua le persone a vivere le relazioni. L'altro è sempre più calcolato, previsto, controllato... sempre meno accolto nella sua unicità e imprevedibilità. Non stupisce che poi si faccia fatica a riconoscere e preservare la diversità, le emozioni e l'incertezza.

«L’assenza non è forse, per chi ama, la più certa, la più efficace, la più viva, la più indistruttibile, la più fedele delle presenze?»
