The #Ebola outbreak in #Uganda has worsened significantly, & the country’s ability to contain the spread has been severely weakened by #Trump’s freeze on #ForeignAid, American ofcls said this week.

The ofcls, representing a variety of #health & #security agencies, made the assessment during a meeting w/ #US Embassy staff in #Kampala, the Ugandan capital, on Wed. An audio recording of the session was obtained by The NYT.

If you are using a YubiKey,

you might get in some situations where you need to reset your key to factory default, and/or set up a backup of it on a spare key.

This tutorial will guide you
through each step to reset and back up your YubiKey successfully, with clear instructions and plenty of visual support.

BBC: Teen armed with gun overpowered by passengers onboard plane (Australia)

“We will not benefit any longer from the Peace Dividend.”

French President Macron delivered this speech to prepare the continent for war with Russia.

Heartbreaking that my nation has made this happen. It is a shame and failure that may echo through history.

Did anyone think this through? Some two-thirds of European #defense procurement is spent on American #weapons. If the U.S. indeed switched off the targeting of #HIMARS in #Ukraine — a country fighting a #war that not just Kyiv, but most of Europe, consider existential — buying any #american technology will soon be considered a #security risk.

“Given the threats & acceleration that I have described, we will have to make more budgetary choices (to increase #defense spending) in #France... w/o raising taxes,” Macron said.

“Whatever happens, we must equip ourselves more (in #Europe). We remain attached to #NATO but we must reinforce our #independence & defense & #security.”

France will make “decisive steps” at Thur’s summit, & massive defense funding will be announced.

#Macron said the future of #Europe & its #security “cannot be decided in Moscow or in Washington” in a clear criticism of #US – #Russia peace talks over #Ukraine.

In his address, #France’s president called for “long-term support to Ukraine” which may include “sending European troops to Ukraine” in order to avoid a “fragile ceasefire”.

“I want to believe that the US will remain at our side but we must prepare for this to not be the case,” he added.

“Strong encryption strengthens the foundation of trust online and ensures that our digital spaces remain ones where individuals can live authentically and without fear.”

LGBTQ people need online communities for support 🏳️🌈 🌐

End-to-end encryption underpins this essential lifeline with the safety of confidentiality.

It's a matter of survival, particularly for people who live with unsupportive families or in oppressive societies.

Save encryption. #PracticeSafeText 💬

[en] #Luddite: anti-progress fanatics, a popular misconception

"... original ... Luddites weren’t against #technology. "

"... wrest back control of technology for #democratic ends ... kind of "#digital #Luddism" which echoes past struggles against high-tech #injustice."

"... systemic change towards #sustainable, #transparent and #usercontrolled infrastructure."

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

Apple appeals the UK government’s order to backdoor its encrypted services.

The fight to save encryption continues. Why? Backdoors are a gift for criminals and predators.

We must keep our personal data and family photos secure. We need encryption.
