I usually explain the difference between open source and free software as “open as in open for business versus free as in freedom” but maybe I should start using “open as in open to profiting from genocide” instead.

Red Hat? Complicit in genocide, you say?

Red Hat as in the Red Hat owned by IBM that was complicit in the Holocaust?

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

#EU citizen should know what this is means:

>Your documents will be snooped.
>Your photographs will be scanned.
>Your chats will be read.
>You are presumed guilty and subject to surveillance without warrant.
>You are assessed by an AI model.
>Your privacy has been sold to Meta, Microsoft and US tech giants in the name of protection.
>Oh, and politicians have exempted themselves from this scan!

After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.

This is not democratic‼️
