Recording episode 100 of my podcast tonight

Not doing anything special, but damn 100 episodes what a milestone lol

A leaked order shows the UK demands that Apple provide a backdoor into *all encrypted user data* (including outside the UK) https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/02/07/apple-encryption-backdoor-uk/

Proprietary software makes such a demand possible. Reject proprietary software, embrace FOSS and open hardware, while we still can.

Remember. Computer companies think you are massively retarded and cannot think for yourself, therefore you need your OS to act as a nanny.

Microsoft does this.
Apple does this.
This mentality has even infected open source projects, like GNOME or Wayland.

IT people are suffering from an enormous God complex that needs to be eradicated as soon as possible, otherwise we all will end up worse and worse every year.

Open Source is Anti-Free Speech

The first instinct, in almost every Open Source & Linux organization - From GNOME to Arch, NixOS to openSUSE - is to censor. To mute, delete, and block any who disagree.
