📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.

Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

On Signal, usernames are of the format [a-z0-9_]+\.[0-9][0-9] so "sujato" can't be your username. Just go into the app and go to your settings and you can see (or set) your username very easily.

Conversations on Bluesky aren't private and are subject to data exfiltration. Given the population on here, this is likely to already be happening if not happening sometime in the near future.

I spent the last three months in Australia, visiting a number of monasteries and temples. I also spent a week on tudong north of Sydney. People were kind and generous everywhere. Thank you!

Spending countless hours translating the Buddha, one thing stands out. He doesn’t join conversation without uplifting it with something meaningful and beneficial.

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist
