La controversa battaglia legislativa dell'UE su chatcontrol sta entrando in una fase decisiva. L'intervista a @echo_pbreyer@digitalcourage.social

Il 2026 è l’anno in cui impareremo fino a che punto l’UE è disposta ad arrivare. Il regolamento sugli abusi sessuali sui minori, comunemente noto come #chatcontrol richiederà alle piattaforme online di rilevare, segnalare e rimuovere materiale illegale, ha una storia lunga e controversa.

It is actually kind of wild that we're simultaneously in an era of people complaining that Wayland is destroying choice and also maybe the greatest number of high-quality desktop environments aimed at different use cases the free software world has ever had

It would be cool if websites had a way to tell browsers: "I have translations, and I can translate to this and that" so that people could use in-browser translation button to access human-written translation. I just had an interaction where I loaded an English website, immediately Firefox suggests auto-translating it, then I close the popup, and click the button on the website that opens a dialog with language selection.

@vkc@linuxmom.net Middle-click paste is one of those "weird Unix" interaction things that really requires other "weird Unix" things to work well, namely focus-follows-mouse and the concept of an X11-like selection mechanism.

It broke when scrollwheels took over the middle button.

It broke when you slipped while bringing a window to the front, thus causing a selection in that other window, and thus losing the selection from the first one that you intended to middle-paste.

I loved it in 1996; not anymore.

A country that arrests people for social media posts WILL make private communications illegal.
