Reminder that Americans only took sides when they were attacked directly in a 9/11-like attack.

I go back and forth between these positions. Not jut on IT but on infrastructure as a whole, you can't just do like you can be independent from society and live in a totally untrustworthy world. There is a strong link between privacy and democracy. Some tools allows us to bypass temporary authoritarian restrictions, but at one point, when goons come to take your servers away, technical solutions are not enough.
Even the most self-hosted decentralized solution bases itself on legal assumption and freedoms defended by laws.
Take the dire situation of smartphones for instance. It is very hard to connect to a 5G network without giving your ID. The few ways that remain are seen as loopholes by authorities and are being plugged quickly. Same could happen for hosting. "Want to open a port on a public IP? ISPs require proof of ID for that" "Want to run an encrypted service there? You need to register your keys with the police for the port to be open"
There is no clean separation between the technical and political side there, privacy can't hinge on a purely technical solution. I understand that trust is seen as fundamentally less solid that crypto algorithms, but it is unavoidable at a certain level.
C'est un fork, ils ont la possibilité de continuer à le maintenir et au pire peuvent garder les versions actuelles qui marchent.
Après, c'est aussi AMHA le rôle d'un état que de participer à la maintenance d'un ecosystème libre, qui est une mission de service public par excellence.
I have a Peugeot iON. Bought it second hand, I doubt the constructor even knows my name. No app, no GPS, I plug my charger in our AC outlet when I park. Never had to charge it outside home.
I agree that the more open source, the more freedom, but there is a world between "We will upload your every move to feed MechaHitler" and a full open source car.
Trust is a fascist political structure.
I see what you mean but I have a strong disagreement with that formulation. Trust is a fundamental tool in building a society. But trust must be earned and chosen, not forced on someone.
Pas eu non plus mais ce serait carrément pertinent comme pseudo service: apprendre les premiers secours, apprendre à gérer un départ de feu. Mon grand père avait passé son permis de conduire pendant son service militaire aussi. S'ils veulent absolument emmerder les jeunes pendant un moment, autant rendre ça utile !
Nuclear plants have been decommissioned and restored to regular use in the past. There is nothing prospective about the costs of the operation.
Tout comme la souveraineté des données.
Crois moi, je préfère être en RJ45 partout. Mais là faut une nacelle et une perceuse à béton
Je suis bien d'accord mais dans mon cas c'est VRAIMENT chiant.
Quand on décide aujourd’hui d’acheter des F-35 c’est qu’on en a rien à faire de l’autonomie européenne.
Ou qu'on considère que c'est un produit supérieur.
Il faut réaliser que la victoire de militants à NDDL, où résister à la police a été payant et où les autorités n'ont pas réussi à déloger la ZAD, ça leur reste en travers de la gorge. Maintenant c'est démesure pour empêcher toute installation.
