Much of eIDAS has not yet reached citizens, but that depends on the country in question.
What does work to some extent in Germany is the electronic ID on the ID card. You can now submit applications to many authorities via the Internet and no longer have to go there in person. But YMMV. I personally have only a passport and no id card, so no e-ID based services for me (that's not really a problem, as a lot of things can also be done now per snail mail.
In some other European countries much more services and things are available.
💬 Executei, para testar, o mensageiro distribuído Briar, ainda sem contatos. A quem interessar possa, meu identificador é abu6dkpaazqksnozgy3v2w3234apwt…
:java: A fim de rodar o Briar Desktop no :gnu:, optei por baixar o JAR (139M) que constroem toda noite, bastando executá-lo com java já instalado, neste caso o do pacote :debian: default-jre.
#Briar, que está disponível em vários tipos de dispositivos, fica, aqui, como mais uma alternativa de comunicação independente, somando-se a #Jami, igualmente distribuído, e a #XMPP descentralizado por servidores sob domínio comunitário.
:securityLow: Aliás, é urgente que a população democrática reduza o máximo que conseguir da dependência tecnológica daquele país que frequentemente promove graves ataques a nossa soberania.
:securityHigh: Basta de empoderar aqueles que financiam quem nos ataca! Começe a fazer sua parte hoje, com alguma dessas ferramentas que temos à disposição e podemos controlar, não sermos controlados por elas. 🧑💻 Se precisar, peça ajuda a tanta gente boa dos #blambers que encontramos por aqui.
Como escrevi antes, executei o programa numa máquina GNU. Depois, instalei-o numa tornozeleira eletrônica de bolso — a partir do F-Droid.
Ao abri-lo pela primeira vez, a única opção é criar uma conta. Queria saber como usar a conta criada antes, paralelamente ou se precisaria transferi-la de alguma maneira. Fui RTFM ler a documentação acima e conferir alguma questão do projeto. Não há suporte a esse caso de uso.
Cheguei à conclusão de que Briar tem um propósito muito interessante e é bem elaborado, com algumas funções diferenciadas, embora voltado para casos de uso aos quais felizmente não me encaixo. Quem tiver mais experiência com ele pode me corrigir.
Em situações de mobilizações em que a comunicação seja tão sensível a ponto de necessitar medidas extremas, pode fazer sentido. Ele é projetado para resiliência em casos de possibilidade de falta de infraestrutura e de forma que você tenha certeza absoluta de que está se comunicando com um dispositivo específico de uma pessoa que teve contato pessoal ou, se à distância, por intermédio de outro meio de comunicação para trocar os identificadores. Não há um aviso de que alguém está querendo ser seu contato para que aceite. Ambas as partes precisam ativamente se reconhecer.
Como já tinha afirmado em outras publicações com base na ideia antes de testar, pelo menos por enquanto, não é voltado para o uso cotidiano com pessoas mais diversas como estamos acostumados há tanto tempo. Para uma comunicação distribuída de par a par, sem necessitar servidores, indicamos #Jami. De maneira geral, para comunicação descentralizada com uma diversidade de implementações, o protocolo XMPP por servidores comunitários é o canal.
O pessoal pode rever algumas opiniões sobre confusão e praticidade, por exemplo, do padrão OMEMO do #XMPP, que pode ser em grande parte automatizado ao mesmo tempo em que permite assegurar usos mais rígidos por conferência de cada chave do contato. Se acham isso pouco prático, imagine estar em situação de necessitar modo paranoia total e ficar em dúvida sobre quem está do outro lado.
📴 Neste tipo de situação, havendo uma boa organização, #Briarpode ajudar a comunicação ao dificultar — embora não impossibilite — o rastreamento das tornozeleiras eletrônicas de bolso mantidas com a rede celular desativada:

I wanted to publish constructive criticism towards Reddit on Reddit but unfortunately that's basically impossible since they'll do everything to censor/silence that for their own gains to not hurt their reputation (you might also get censored for mentioning Reddit alternatives like Lemmy).
So I have to do it here.
I'm addressing censorship because that's basically the biggest issue.
I'm not always against all censorship as it can be beneficial in some circumstances to provide constructive discussion to not end up like X where everyone is shouting hateful opinions without getting heard anyways. (But very generally I'm still strongly against censorship).
My main problem is about wrongful censorship. Reddit is basically unusable for me since I had the experience multiple times that I get banned from a subreddit for actually no reason just because a moderator feels like it. And when I then ever accidentally post on the same subreddit with a different account (which is hard when there are multiple to keep track of) your whole access to Reddit gets banned for about 12 months by advanced fingerprinting (so even if you create a new account it gets automatically banned, so you basically cannot post anything on Reddit for a year).
While Lemmy is somewhat better in this regard I think it's mainly only because it's so small, is only known by a very small enthusiastic group and therefore needs less moderation. But I realized that even here once a post is slightly controversial it will get removed sooner or later. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if this gets removed too. I know that the fediverse theoretically provides protection against censorship by being able to host your own instance but practically that's very unrealistic to see properely moderated instances being used by enough people.
I think it's a shame that if you're looking into providing high quality topics and discussions that are valued by many people and you just want to learn by broadening your intellectual horizons, you can get banned every second because some moderator had a bad day.
And I'm not just talking about posting something maybe somewhat controversial that a moderator might not like. I literally had many situations where I posted completely normal posts that completely aligned with the subreddits rules. I could literally post a normal cat picture on a cat picture subreddit and get banned seconds later without being able to talk to the moderators. In some instances the cat picture post (I'm using that as a metaphor) didn't even get published and I got banned anyways. Often it's enough to have a single wrong word that is filtered by Reddit so your whole post won't publish.
I think the core concept of platforms like Reddit and Lemmy can be very valuable but it's executed very badly. There should be multiple independent steps of verifying if someone should get banned and in what way. And probably integrate a good test for joining the community so that it's more likely for people to be rational from the start (that way you don't even have to look at so many potential flags).
Maybe AI could be better for this by having less human emotion based judgement?
But I'm conflicted because on one hand these platforms can have such a great potential and value but on the other hand it's maybe better to not use it anyways since it can be quite unhealthy to spend much time on there.
Anyways I think it's sad we can't freely express ourselves on social media and can't have proper discussions. This really feels like being in a 3rd world country with dictatorship and this shouldn't be the case in 2025. Especially nowadays where it's extremely important to have open and trusted discussion about topics.
There should be a platform with good/useful censorship and a platform truly without censorship that isn't owned by a Nazi billionaire. Or even better: have an all-in-one solution that has spaces without and with censorship to varying degrees (preferably a degree that can be decided by the users and not by the corporation).
The problem is that moderators here and on reddit (i believe?) are volunteers, so they are going to have personal limits on what they'll accept. And if they can't have those, they won't do it. Someone else will have to volunteer for an unpaid position that can take up lots of their precious time on this earth.
Start a mod fund and pay people, is my suggestion. The only rewards at the moment for moderating are, like, a smoothly running community. Tiny, mostly irrelevant power. Being a big fish in a small pond. Personal satisfaction? You can get that being treasurer at your local beading club, but there you get to mess around with beads. I dunno.
As for making different platforms, there also has to be someone willing to do that work. Mostly thankless, and you'll always get it wrong somehow. I'm amazed anyone bothers.
i cannot see what you were actually banned for, but the fact you've been banned everywhere from reddit is kinda red flag tbh. i've seen people posting everything from the constructive criticism to 'fuck spez' for months and no one banned them. you might've been banned for different reasons except censorship. might it be that you just didn't "read the room" or didn't keep discussions constructive?
I think it's really just the fact that there are moderators who ban people based on their mood. It has nothing to do with the actual content as I've seen many posts that seem actually questionable but haven't been banned. Of course you only see the people who didn't get banned and can post and you can't see the people who are banned because well, they cannot post.
If I'd show you the times I got banned you will see that it is basically randomly and those moderators invent things that are far detached from reality.
There should be multiple independent steps of verifying if someone should get banned and in what way. And probably integrate a good test for joining the community so that it's more likely for people to be rational from the start (that way you don't even have to look at so many potential flags).
How much would you pay to join a community with that level of protection for user rights? Like the old subscription based forums, some of which are still floating around the internet?
Because "multiple independent steps of verifying" is, frankly, going to be a lot of frustrating, thankless, and redundant work for moderators. I mean, we know how to safeguard people's rights through legalistic processes. Courts do it all the time. It's called due process. And due process is frequently a slow, complicated, and expensive pain in the ass for everyone involved. And I think very few people would want to do that work for free.
(Conveniently, this would also serve as a good test for joining such a community - people are more likely to follow the rules and act like decent human beings if a subscription they paid for is riding on it, and it would price out AI and spambots in the process.)

Sorry for making a post for such a basic question but I wasn't able to figure out my own so I'm come here as last resort.
I bought a new CPU, RAM, and motherboard combo and I migrated all my non-conflicting parts from my previous machine, which had a Linux install and a Windows install.
When I booted into the PC, I did not see an option in the boot menu or in the boot order for Linux whatsoever. Only my windows 11 IoT install and my new nanokvm.
I had a asrock x570 extreme4 and switch to a Msi Pro x870E-P WiFi. I have updated to the newest BIOS.
I was previously using systemd as my boot manager until I tried switching over to grub but neither trying to fix system D or installing grub seemed to work for me.
So I was hoping that I could delete my boot partition or somehow start from scratch without deleting any data in my root partition (Btrfs sub volumes) . and get a step-by-step installation guide for me since I can't seem to understand the arch wiki at my current state.
I would like to give you guys more information about the scenario and more context of what I've done, but i'm sadly not capable.
/dev/nvme0n1 is my linux install while /dev/nvme1n1 is Windows 11 IoT

The #US removed sanctions against the ex-ISIS-commander-turned-Syria-president (i.e. Al Jawlani) then turned around and placed sanctions on #FrancescaAlbanese.
It reinforces what I always believed, that the #RepublicanParty is the Christian equivalent of the #Taliban, or even #ISIS.
Who cares what they would do. The Democratic party is anyway finished. They lost their base. They're history. The only way they come back is if they go progressive all the way. But that will only happen after the dinosaurs on its helm perish. It will take time.
Yes they have the same overall foreign policy, but the Republican party has deep religious motives in addition to the imperial ones that the Democrats have, which warranted comparing them alone to ISIS.
Researchers have developed Centaur, a computational model that can predict and simulate human behavior across a wide range of psychological experiments[^1]. Built by fine-tuning Meta's Llama 3.1 70B language model on a dataset called Psych-101, Centaur was trained on over 10 million choices made by 60,000 participants across 160 psychology experiments[^1].
The model outperforms existing cognitive models in predicting human behavior, even generalizing to entirely new scenarios it wasn't trained on[^1]. "You can basically run experimental sessions in silico instead of running them on actual human participants," said Marcel Binz, cognitive scientist at the Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI[^2].
Centaur demonstrates unprecedented capabilities in capturing human cognition:
Predicts behavior with 64% accuracy across varied tasks[^3]
Generalizes to modified experimental scenarios, like switching from "spaceships" to "magic carpets" in decision-making tasks[^4]
Shows alignment between its internal representations and human neural activity[^1]
Performs well on out-of-distribution tasks in moral decision-making, economic games, and logical reasoning[^1]
"It's the first model that can do any kind of task exactly like a human can," said Russ Poldrack, cognitive scientist at Stanford University[^4].
A new artificial intelligence (AI) model called Centaur can predict and simulate human thought and behavior better than any past models, opening the door for cutting-edge research applications.

Huh, did this stem from the original controversy concerning them promoting Brave Browser? I dislike the browser itself, but it's likely that they just didn't know what Brendan Eich or his company did, since not everyone is caught up with drama.
As for the Husky project, I also don't know what they did besides being associated with Pleroma, which is petty (you will always have disgusting people in a userbase, and Pleroma's dev community is comfy in my experience), and not wanting to block instances from the app, which I think is fine, as Fedi clients are tools, not communities.
@radmin @dushman Yes, this comes from the fdroid fediblock which already is a stupid take. Imagine complaining about a project supporting a project made by a guy you dislike, because he said something a decade ago while literally using his most influential invention.
@dushman @radmin idk how they can dislike f-droid lol. do they gotta know the politics of every app developer or do it just have to be a good app (which Husky is).
its not like husky is like xlibre which states that they are anti-DEI, which ofc is going to have some backlash.

Different hardware did work right away. The trusty Dell Optiplex to the rescue.
Installed a dual-NIC SuperMicro low profile ethernet card in a Dell Optiplex 3010, installed OPNsense, and it got an IP from the Internet Service Provider.
I did have to check the setting to prefer IPv4 even if IPv6 is available because the ISP doesn't fully support IPv6 and requests were sometimes resolving quickly and sometimes taking a long time. Selecting to prefer IPv4 in the OPNsense settings fixed that issue.

@Tom Grzybow fair. It’s an interesting space to inhabit. The specs are ancient and the technology is archaic (I haven’t used asn.1 since the nineties; it still sucks). But it does a pretty good job of solving a real problem; it’s just not been taken up as much.
But portable, provably authentic documents are pretty great. I can think of improvements, but by and large the system works well enough to solve a bunch of problems. I hope we can attract some customers and grow it out.
