Okay I've used up all other options, so now it's #FollowerPower and #FediMagic : Would someone here be able to help me fix my broken #Yunohost instance? I've been without email for several weeks now 😓 All apps and admin interface work without problems, but #Dovecot fails to start with a cryptic #SSL error. I've tried the forum of course but so far without success. Happy to share logs and all. Thanks a million! 🙏
Remember when the @npub1shla...f60y found the @European Commission's use of #Microsoft's #Office365 was in breach of #dataprotection law? Looks like they've found a way to use that software differently "in cooperation with Microsoft" and the EDPS has now closed the investigation.

It felt like kindergarten to do it but this week we @EDRi +others filed a complaint against #Google with the @European Commission for breach of the #DigitalMarketsAct. Despite the #DMA's clear obligation for #gatekeepers to allow you to uninstall pre-installed apps, #Alphabet claims this can also mean disabling. Yes seriously. So we wrote a 7-page explanation why disable ≠ uninstall. The complaint was filed together with @npub1d4vk...lvl3, @Free Software Foundation Europe, @Freiheitsrechte.org - GFF, @Homo Digitalis and @vrijschrift 🙏
A prominent MEP -- Tiemo @Tiemo Wölken -- is suing the @European Commission for "failing to adequately explain why it withdrew two pieces of EU legislation shortly after President Ursula von der Leyen met with U.S. Vice President JD Vance," according to Politico. Wölken says "he has filed a court challenge because the Commission delayed responding to his requests for access to documents" regarding the withdrawal of the EU’s proposed regulations on #patents and #AILiability. #AIL #VdL #AI

#Apple: We need to lock down devices against #competition to protect user #privacy! Researchers: The #AppleWatch collects vast amounts of intimate #health and #fitness data. Users have little choice regarding how this data is processed. We publicly #reverseengineer the watch's wireless protocols and discovered multiple #security issues.

Potentially groundbreaking court ruling against #Meta: "A German court has ruled that Meta must pay €5,000 to a 🇩🇪 #Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding #tracking in third-party websites." "This may very well be one of the most substantial rulings coming out of Europe this year, ... €5,000 in damages for one visitor adds up quickly if you have tens of thousands of visitors, or even millions."

So now that both #Apple and #Meta have formally appealed the #DMA fines that are just pocket money for them, can we please start calling those lawsuits for what they are: intimidation similar to #SLAPPs. They are designed to bind public resources for years, which regulators will lack for enforcing the #DigitalMarketsAct, to intimidate civil servants in the @European Commission, and to show us that #BigTech is above the law and that we are helpless. Let's not be intimidated. #ResistBigTech
