#Andor season 2 moves Star Wars into Battlestar Galactica 2004 territory when it comes to criticising the world we live in. I am impressed.

Also, also. The Battlestar Galactica 2004-2009 series deserves to be watched again. It was prescient in so many ways, IMHO (In My Humble Opinion) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sz2QN8_VvoM

In Germany? No plans for tomorrow? Join us as we take the streets all over the country to demand that the case at the constitutional court against the right-wing extremist AfD party gets officially requested. Time and places at https://afd-verbot.jetzt/en/termine

- Was there a contract or agreement between you and government authorities on accepting TM SGNL on the network?

- Was there a contract or agreement between you and TeleMessage on accepting TM SGNL on the network?

- Are there more such contracts/agreements with governments/companies for other Signal derivatives?

- What process do you have to certify such 3rd party apps?

- Can you exclude such apps from the network? If yes, have you done this in the past and now with TeleMessage?

So now that the TM SGNL #Signal story is out, I do have some questions for the Signal foundation. (a short thread)

Your app allows users to independently verify the identity of other users with the verification code system.

- Will you extend this to verifying the app (version)? So that we users can see what version of Signal or a 3rd party app we are exchanging messages with?

- Were you aware of TM SGNL and their implementation of sending chats and attachments to a 3rd party?

Liebe ARD/ZDF Redaktionen. Es ist wirklich ganz einfach. Ihr sagt ab sofort einfach "gesichert rechtsextreme AfD" statt nur AfD. Das aber konsequent. Dann nehmen die gesichert rechtsextremen AfD Vertreter auch deutlich seltener eure Einladungen an. Wirklich, es ist ganz einfach. Gleiches erwarte ich auch von den Schlussredaktionen der Zeitungen und Magazine. Einfaches Suchen und Ersetzen in jedem Text. Schafft ihr! Ich zähle auf euch!

Ah, it seems #TeleMessage (the company behind that Signal fork called TM SGNL, used by Mike Waltz and possibly more members of the Trump administration) has woken up and blocked access to the source zips for their iOS and Android apps. Until yesterday they were publicly available at https://www.telemessage.com/developer/api-libraries/# now that page is gone.

Signal is AGPLv3 licensed, so hiding the sources could very well be a license violation. Oops.

#Radikalenerlass, aber für #noAfD Mitglieder und Sympathisanten. Wer Verfassungsfeind ist darf kein Beamter werden oder sein. In Bayern wurde ja schon eine angehende Lehrkraft wegen #LetzteGeneration vom Referendariat ausgeschlossen während #noAfD Lehrer weiter unterrichten dürfen. Es reicht. #NieWiederIstJetzt

@MarioQ04 @089chris Deswegen bekämpfen wir die ja.

A big advantage of using #PeerTube for videos is that on iPhones/iPads, you can "pop out" the video so that it plays in an overlay. This is a standard feature but YouTube limits its use to paying subscribers.

Thanks to @micahflee we can all examine the source code of that weird #Signal app variant from Telemessage called TM SGNL, that is used by Mike Waltz and possibly more Trump admin members, conveniently on GitHub.

iOS: https://github.com/micahflee/TM-SGNL-iOS
Android: https://github.com/micahflee/TM-SGNL-Android

(it's GPLv3 licensed, so Telemessage should be fine with this ;)

Country that freed #Germany from Nazis now accuses Germany of tyranny for fighting Nazis. #WhoWuddaThunk #Trump

In beiden Fällen (ZDF Spezial und Brennpunkt) fiel der Satz zum Interview mit Chrupalla "Das Gespräch haben wir vor der Sendung aufgezeichnet". Es gab also Zeit für einen Faktencheck. Den man aber in beiden Sendungen schlicht nicht gemacht hat. Warum?

Nachtrag: auch bei den Tagesthemen wurde das Interview mit von Storch vor der Sendung aufgezeichnet. Le sigh.

Zum Abschluss des Brennpunkts bewahrheitet sich wieder einmal die Aussage meines Lateinlehrers: Vox Populi, vox Rindvieh.

#FFF — Fascho-Freies Fernsehen. Das ist das Mindeste, was ich für meine Gebühren verlange, liebe Redaktionen.

Was liefert ihr heute (Auszug):

ZDF Spezial: Chrupalla, unwidersprochen und ohne Einordnung
Brennpunkt: Chrupalla, unwidersprochen und ohne Einordnung
Tagesthemen: von Storch, wohl auch ohne klare Abgrenzung.

#ARD #ZDF

While I also welcome #Redis offering their code under the #AGPLv3 license, I do note that developers still have to agree to three licenses, of which 2 are not open source, to get their contributions accepted and included upstream. https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/unstable/CONTRIBUTING.md

@msw @zacchiro From the license.txt file:

"Starting with Redis 8, Redis Open Source is moving to a tri-licensing model with all new Redis code contributions governed by the updated Redis Software Grant and Contributor License Agreement.
After this release, contributions are subject to your choice of: (a) the Redis Source Available License v2 (RSALv2);or (b) the Server Side Public License v1 (SSPLv1); or (c) the GNU Affero General Public License v3 (AGPLv3)."

So no more BSD or MIT, AFAICS.

Die #ARD sollte sich in AFD (Alternatives Fernsehen Doitschland) umbenennen. Und es braucht einen neuen ÖR Sender, der sich klar antifaschistisch positioniert.

#Brennpunkt

Chrupalla im Brennpunkt, von Storch in den Tagesthemen — wie quotengeil statt antifaschistisch kann man eigentlich sein, liebe #ARD?

@morph Nope. Nothing short of complete laser epilation will solve that :)
