@BalazsOrban_HU Well your party was for Chat Control. You wanted to peek into private chats now you can experience how it is when they look in your internal communications. Not saying it is right but...

@thekitze Yes, concrete beach makes all the difference.

@dhh The law is so complicated - EU level, national level that nobody even knew that this law was already in effect and this is actually a prolongation. Worse is yet to come, like age / identity verification.

Every company is chasing the same goal. Who is going to reach it and who is gonna crash on the road? And what after that?

[Stefan Vantroba @cleverleap]

@BalazsOrban_HU To ban social media for children it requires identification and age verification. That requires identity verification. That means everybody will lose anonymity on the internet.

@visegrad24 South slavic people could tell stories about their otoman overlords.

@daveg BYD will be a new Hyundai. At least
VW stopped putting CD players into their new cars.

@eugyppius1 Nobody wanted to hear the truth in the soviet union either.

@chrisramsay52 Why these sets have to be so staged? Looks fake.

@compliantvc Good that you purchased this under the window single unit. Looks like there will be no outside unit just a pipe out. Nice to meet building esthetic codes.

[Stefan Vantroba @cleverleap]

@thekitze Nope. Had many ticks in my life and survived so far.

@Ronald_vanLoon @BrianRoemmele It is not a cost of materials. Pouring concrete into a form could be even more effective. It is a regulation burden and zoning laws.

@MarioNawfal Different cultures, different customs. You do not mind eating a cute duck? Duck with dumplings and sauerkraut is the best. A dog with chilly is also tasty ;).

Police go directly for the circuit breaker panel to avoid being filmed

This post will be in English, because there apparently is a lot of interest in what happened to me yesterday.

I'm a libertarian danish privacy activist and former police officer and I have been doing activism for about 15 years.

I have had a bit of time to think about my arrest and the actions of the masked police that broke down my door - with no prior warning.

The prefece to the story is, that I in a kind of roundabout and (I think) humorous way published "my two favorite numbers" by spelling out a 10 diget and a 8 diget number with letters. I didn't tell what they ment, but they where prime minister Mette Frederiksen's social security and phone number.

I also published a screenshot of me trying to interview Mette Frederiksen on what app, asking her about her wanting to ban encryption (CSA) and introducing mass surveillance via granting the police intelligence services access to all sorts of information (medical journals, social media posts, DNA registers ment for research and so on).

That resulted in me being arrested by armed and masked police breaking down my door without me having any chance of opening it for them.

When the two civilian dressed masked men entered the apparentment one of them immediately went for the circuit breaker panel to shut off the power to my router. They then removed my Google Nest cameras - because they knew that the cameras contains local storage.

That way they could avoid having video of the (in my view) illegal arrest. Only the few moments before the power is cut was filmed. There is video of me asking them for the charges - and them refusing to tell me (which is illegal). But I can't access it, because they took the cameras.

I'm not even sure if that is legal. In Denmark it is (nominally) totally legal to film the police. That way it is possible to know what happened and it's not just your word against there's.

Denmark and the West are moving in the wrong direction, and it makes me sad.

@dhh I am just waiting for our school to implement NIS2 and DORA as they can not put photos of children on public service and have their own photo gallery now. Hope it is stored safely and according to regulations and compliance. Maybe some PwC audit will be needed.

@thekitze Bad system design and confused driver. Why barriers pull up when lights are still blinking?

[Stefan Vantroba @cleverleap]

@MarioNawfal Poor hungry bear.

[Stefan Vantroba @cleverleap]

@compliantvc That is hardly true. You need to pedal it, that requires human, who needs to eat, that requires food, food requires seeding, growing, distribution... all energy consumption.

@Mikiferjencik Kolik lidi je ochotno platit za to, že v ČR mluví česky a ne anglicky? Kdyby za to neplatili, možná by dnes mohli mluvit alespoň německy.
