📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.
Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities

I refuse to believe anyone who prefers Windows 11 to Windows 10 actually does meaningful stuff on their PC. In the last 15 minutes I’ve experienced:
- Explorer.exe freezing when right clicking large files
- Windows Update slowing machine to a crawl
- impossible to unpin OneDrive
- Task bar randomly moving itself up 2-10 pixels
- “legacy” apps (Disk Manager, useful things in control panel) refusing to close
- “legacy” app text scaling being outright broken
- Sluggish performance when booting without an internet connection??
- Inability to enable wifi from task bar if disabled on boot

Be an Open Source Absolutist!
It is hard to overstate how much value Open Source Software has added to the world, and how broadly empowering it is.
Operating systems, development tools, core libraries, and critical applications – a great many of the software tools used by the most powerful companies in the world are the exact same ones available to hospitals, students, and everyone else. For free. And not just to use, but to inspect, modify, extend, and redistribute.
Back in the 90s, there were legal battles in the US over software capable of strong encryption. There were scare stories about how terrorists and child pornographers would use the technology to evade justice, but people were also wearing T-shirts printed with forbidden code to mock the idea of algorithms too dangerous to share.
It was stupid, and I was ashamed of the regulatory state, but we got better.
Open Source AI is in many people’s crosshairs today. They believe that giving free access to state of the art algorithms and models without any guardrails constitutes a danger to society, that the public can’t be entrusted with a research model that wasn’t hammered into a box of their designated dimensions. “As a large language model, I cannot…”
Unfortunately, this is actually inside the Overton Window of possibilities right now.
Let’s push it out.
In the spirit of the first amendment, congress should make no law abridging the freedom to release open source software.
