What the hell. ChatControl 2.0 is not dead yet. #chatcontrol

Was debugging a ros2 system and rviz did not cut it (no time series). Stumbled on rerun (the logger) and wow, where has this been all my life! Some aspects are a bit more hardcore than, say, foxglove and co but if you know what you want to see this is _so powerful_.

Here's a neat summary to inform yourself and others regarding #ChatControl. It also links to the "Roadmap for effective and lawful access to data for law enforcement", which _strongly_ smells of legalized, AI powered PRISM.

Looks like we're in for another round folks. Despite democratic opposition again and again, those working toward a surveillance state are pushing hard on EU level once again. Let's fight it back!

@jjbbllkk.bsky.social Thank you so much for "Watch it Burn", that song really helped me through some tough times. There's just something about its vibe that just picks me up, every time. Cheers from Europe.
