Germany's new government put in on paper: Everyone has a right to encryption! Now the German government has asked the EU Commission difficult questions on the planned EU surveillance law. Will Germany fight for our right to privacy?

Thanks for sharing, I don't think it really fits - I'm looking to create a separate Fediverse profile to connect with Film makers, or "Content Creators"(🤢).
I hope there is a Mastodon instance out there full of creators to learn from!
Could anyone recommend an instance focused on Video / Film creators? #boostswelcome
@chrisjimallen Pingdom works quite well if you're not looking to Selfhost

Here's a post-mortem of what we saw on #Fosstodon over Monday and Tuesday with the influx of new members from Twitter.
Thought you fine folks would be interested in something like this.

Software People, I'm brainstorming an engineering concept and would love some input.
What would you infer from the term "Digital Plumber"?
A step in the right direction

In concrete terms this means, for example, that EU Voice and EU Video do not rely on transfers of personal data to countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area; there are no advertisements on the platforms; and there is no profiling of individuals that may use the platforms...”

Listening to my old friend Paul Brislen being interviewed on RNZ about his impressions of recent announcements of US cloud megacorps like Amazon & Microsoft (among others) that they're going to build cloud installations in NZ to take advantage of our 'green' power. I disagree with his assertion that it'll be good for NZ. Reckon they're exactly the sorts of corps we want to keep well clear of our shores. They make Rio Tinto look like a good bunch.
