This week’s update is massive! So many interesting things were announced that’s too difficult to pick highlights! How about you read them all and tell us which ones you would have picked?

du coup

A casual reminder that @Framasoft almost exclusively lives on donations.

Do you value their technical work: @peertube, @mobilizon and many smaller contributions to various projects?

Do you value their fantastic social work which encourages citizens and organisations to emancipate themselves from bad actors?

Then you can support their work financially on https://soutenir.framasoft.org/en !

So please, don't give me this "the war about the word #hacker is lost" bullshit. It's not. We just keep surrendering and undermining our own position.

So, stop using the word "hacker" to mean "cybercriminal". Stop using the word "hack" to mean "breach" or "compromise".

There are better words.

Like "cybercriminal", "breach", "compromise".

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
