*Stand With Glenn Greenwald*

"In an obvious attempt to retaliate against The Intercept’s critical reporting on abuses committed by Brazilian judicial officials, prosecutors have filed a criminal complaint against our co-founder Glenn Greenwald.

There is no democracy without a free press. We ask advocates for press freedom everywhere to join in condemning the Bolsonaro government’s transparent effort to intimidate and criminalize journalists."

I just discovered https://codeberg.org, a free-to-use and open-for-registration #Gitea instance run by the German non-profit organisation #Codeberg e.V. – @codeberg is “dedicated to build and maintain supporting infrastructure for the creation, collection, dissemination, and archiving of Free and Open Source Software”. Nice Github and Gitlab alternative :)

Yes we live in societies where we live as neighbors with each other, in social contract, our day-to-day governed by written legal-formal laws, and as well as other semi-formal and non-formal presumably collectively agreed upon community norms. Facts remain though.

Do you know an individual or a non-profit who could use some programming help? fixing technical issues? automating a spreadsheet? modifying a wordpress theme?

I'm looking to do pro bono freelance work, please reach out! (boosts ok)

In late 2018 Bloomberg published a widely criticized, probably untrue story about China inserting secret chips in Supermicro motherboards. In response, Henrik Moltke and I dug into the Snowden archive and wrote the definitive piece on ACTUAL supply chain attacks, based on actual documents and evidence https://theintercept.com/2019/01/24/computer-supply-chain-attacks/

Anyone have any good resources about the California Consumer Privacy Act? Like lists of companies that sell your data and require opting out?

Anyone for an #energy impact study of #SurveillanceCapitalism ? All these servers for collecting information, infrastructures, these smartphones that send data constantly, there's inevitably impacts on batteries, power consumption, bandwidth, network equipments or devices wear 🤔
