  • The amended EP position adopts a positive, yet rather cosmetic amendment proposed by the liberal RENEW group that would “exclude communications to which end-to-end encryption is, has been, or will be applied” from the scope of the law.

    This isnt cosmetic, this is genius! It satisfies lawmakers who want to make this pass to “save the children” and have no idea of the consequences, and it satisfies the lawmakers with braincells since makes the law inapplicable to secure communications.

    I hope this does pass so they finally stop trying to push it through. But since they did pass the voluntary one but are still trying to pass the non-voluntary one, I think they will just try to spam chat control laws until their dystopic aim is achieved.


  • Well, you could configure your desktop this way on basically any linux distro!

    Theres nothing special about Arch that makes this easier, just the vague feeling of superiority that comes with having made it on a distro that prides itself on not being user friendly(and the fact that obscure packages are usually in the AUR).

    I had a pretty radical wayfire + sawfish + crystal dock setup on opensuse tumbleweed for a while. Opensuse has OBS, which is basically like AUR but more user friendly and with a bit more security. But I didnt need it, since they had everything I wanted in the main repo.
