I am reminded once again of this, as I see more news about the UK government talking about cutting disability benefits. If you taxed the Sunday Times rich list 1%, you wouldn't have to make these cuts. If you taxed them 10% of their billions, there wouldn't even be any deficit.
IF THEY WERE TAXED AT THE 45% ON THE HIGHER BRACKET LIKE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE, THEY WOULD GENERATE £357.75 BILLION FOR THE ECONOMY.
But I suppose cutting a couple of hundred quid from the poorest is probably the most sensible solution. Don't want them getting any ideas above their station. In the year 2025. 👍

Apple - censoring things? Never 🤣
I was asked by a relative to use #WhatsApp - and responded with the appropriate comments about Meta, Privacy, Security, Bastards etc. I suggested they use Signal (we do and for work as well). I then wanted to follow it up with a link (and we use #Apple desktops and laptops here backed up by a Linux farm). So I went to the appstore and searched on #Signal - this is what I was given. You need to get the link directly from Signal to find it.
Maybe it's for similar reasons that Moxie Marlinspike didn't want it being distributed by F-Droid either 😞

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship call for the secret Tribunal into the UK Home Office's encryption-breaching order against Apple to be held in PUBLIC 🧑⚖️
There's a significant public interest in knowing why the UK government believes it can compel a private company to undermine the privacy and security of its users.
Read our joint letter ⬇️

Make the Investigatory Powers Tribunal on Apple Encryption a Public Hearing
Rights groups call for Apple’s closed appeal against the Home Office’s encryption-breaching order to be opened to the public.Open Rights Group
The “case implicates the privacy rights of millions of British citizens who use Apple’s technology, as well as Apple’s international users.”
“End-to-end encryption cannot be broken in a targeted manner – once a ‘backdoor’ into the system has been created, it can be exploited by anyone, putting the privacy and security of all users at risk.”
With such high stakes, we demand to know what could possibly justify it.
#e2ee #encryption #privacy #security #cybersecurity #ukpolitics #ukpol #apple
📣 Make your voice heard through the secrecy!
By ordering Apple to break encryption, the UK government has put millions at a higher risk of their personal data, documents and photos falling into the hands of criminals and predators.
The secret tribunal is taking place this Friday – we need to take a stand for encryption!

Bone fragments unearthed at an ancient cave in Spain belong to the oldest known human face in western Europe, researchers say.
The fossilised remains make up the left cheek and upper jaw of an adult member of an extinct human species who lived and died on the Iberian peninsula between 1.1m and 1.4m years ago.

[13:32] Dosba: hét telefoonnummer van opensource in Nederland
De Nederlandse ict-sector heeft er een nieuwe vereniging bij: de Dutch Open Source Business Alliance, oftewel Dosba. Zij wil de vertegenwoordiger zijn van op opensource gerichte it-bedrijven, gevestigd in Nederland. Doel is om deze bij elkaar te brengen en een primair aanspreekpunt te zijn voor deze bedrijven én de publieke sector. Dosba is eigenlijk een voortzetting van de VOSN (Vereniging Open Source Nederland). Marcel Kornegoor, een van de kartrekkers, geeft tekst en uitleg.

✊ LEADING. RESISTING. SURVIVING. THRIVING 💜
Women are on the frontlines of environmental and social justice—leading movements, defending land and water, and fighting for their communities. Yet, they are among the first to suffer the consequences of climate chaos, war, and economic injustice.
While we celebrate progress and call to accelerate action, we must recognise the struggle. Women’s leadership in the fight for a just and liveable world must be supported and protected.
