La regulación Farmaceutica es un sistema roto. Llama la atención el tamaño del agujero económico y el daño q se está causando a los enfermos y las nulas iniciativas existentes para cambiar el estado de cosas. Pura #institutionalcorruption https://www.bmj.com/content/382/bmj.p1466

Greenzilla will be a not-for-profit foundation that owns a for-profit corporation that is funded by half-a-billion dollars every year from ExxonMobil.
Tech folks: wow, that sounds great! Thank you for saving the environment, Greenzilla!

Off to Brussels today for OFFDEM (not FOSDEM; I don’t attend or speak at “free and open” or “human rights”, etc., conferences that allow themselves to be sponsored by and thus whitewash surveillance capitalists and people farmers like Google).
Going to demo Kitten (https://codeberg.org/kitten/app) and say hi, I have :kitten: stickers
Hope to see some of you there :)

Consider skipping it, and sending them a note to indicate that ongoing sponsorship by Google, Amazon, and Meta "put[s] Rightscon's mission at risk" (https://www.rightscon.org/fundingpolicy/), since those companies are a major structural reason that #privacy is impossible for many whose rights are threatened.

Just to clarify, I’m not going to #FOSDEM, I’m going to #OFFDEM.
I don’t attend, speak at, or legitimise so-called “free software” (or “human rights”, etc.) conferences that let surveillance capitalists like Google launder their reputations by sponsoring them. I’m only taking part in OFFDEM, which was created in reaction to FOSDEM’s lack of principles and ethical backbone.

Remember folks:
❌ Cash bribes
✅ Lobbying
✅ Revolving doors
Rule of thumb: old-school corruption BAD, institutional corruption GOOD.
