In den kommenden Tagen wird die Bundesregierung entscheiden, wie sie am 14. Oktober in der EU zur #Chatkontrolle abstimmt. Eines ist klar: Kommt die Chatkontrolle, wird es keine verschlüsselte und sichere Kommunikation mehr geben.

I like this article by @jackw01.bsky.social about the film scanlight and why RGB LEDs are better for scanning negative film. Now I need figure out how to replace my white film scan light.

@bsky.app web client on desktop should add a ⌘/ctrl + K shortcut for focusing search

So it doesn’t matter if you're a company in the US, China, or elsewhere. DeepSeek should be a cue to pivot HARD toward investing in far more efficient methods of AI development. Even if you care nothing about community & climate impacts, it’s just better business. 19/

2 years ago I responded to a Tweet from @shankmods.bsky.social

It turned into an unforgettable adventure

Shank is a great storyteller, and the video he made chronicling the whole ordeal is truly something special

Even if you have no interest in CRTs, it’s worth a watch!

Historically, many people have believed that sources of power, like the vote, access to education, and the printing press, should be restricted to only the rich and powerful.

Today, some want you to believe that about data access.

Opening data access is less of a societal threat than closing it.

@mikjaer.com since you started following me and you seem to know a few things about retro computers: I have a macintosh SE that I wanted to connect to the internet. Do you have any ideas about how to do this? Also I fear that the HDD and the floppy drive might break soon
