Good morning fr #Pasadena. 🌤️ & 26°c (79°F) 4cast but actual heat coming this wknd so brace yourselves Angelenos.

Sick w stomach flu the last 4 days. It’s getting quite old… was hoping to be better today & start work again but still ill this morning. So HB says I must rest. TBH I’m tired & don’t mind the rest (I obviously need it) but I have so much work to do.

@ocdtrekkie @catraxx @EU_Commission I think that's rather a #Downgrade but let's be homest these Versions were only #figleaf-level excuses of "#compliance" as they didn't get preinstalled per default nor distributed equally with the "Standard" Versions...

@enigmatico Remember when #IridumFlares existed and one had to literally time shit to see them?

Nowadays one mist time not to see #SpaceKaren's junk that only excels at being a #figleaf excuse not to build #FTTB / #FTTH & #Fiber in general...

@BryanGreyson like with most shit that is #WellMeant by @EU_Commission it'll likely get watered-down or even weaponized against #users and #developers, like "#SoftwareCertification" that can only aim to ban #FLOSS, #BulkSurveillance and criminalization of #SecureCommunications or the #Figleaf that was #GaiaX to justify shoving money into #Amazon and #Microsoft in lieu of actually working #domestic #cloud standards...

@sigmasternchen Pretty shure that's just their legalese #figleaf to not be held contempt for violations of licensing rights...

The #RestrictAct basically is intended for the #USA to #blackout a lot of places.

It doesn't just go after the obvious "adversaries" like #Russia or #NorthKorea and #Iran but basically also bans #PRC, #Macao, #Hongkong, #Venezuela and [stil] #Cuba...

Basically being kinda propagandistic since Venezuela and Cuba's capability to spread #disinformation is negligible compared to i.e. #SaudiArabia or even #India...

Case in point, it's just a #figleaf'd #censorship law...
