Matz von #Topfvollgold hat ein tolles Video über die gern geposteten Bild-Schlagzeilen zu den heißen Sommern von früher gemacht:

Tatsächlich ist der hiesige #Mainstream #Radio #Sender jetzt doch von "Geiles #Badesee #Wetter" auf #Hitze #Warnung umgeschwenkt.

Aber es wird als singuläres Ereignis kommuniziert, nicht als Teil der #KlimaKatastrophe

Sony, Bose, Marshall und JBL äußerten sich bis Redaktionsschluss nicht, ob das Update bereits an ihre Nutzer ausgespielt sei und wie die Unternehmen sicherstellen wollen, dass es ihre Kundinnen und Kunden auch erreicht.

Wer auf Nummer sicher gehen will oder muss, sollte – vorerst – kabelgebundene Kopfhörer verwenden.

Und hier, für euch treue Leser:innen, ein Geschenklink mit vielen weiteren spannenden Informationen :)

Sicherheitslücke: Millionen Kopfhörer sind abhörbar

Die Schwachstelle liegt bei einem unbekannten Chiphersteller. Angreifer können mithören und Smartphones übernehmen. Betroffen sind auch Modelle von Sony, Bose und JBL.

Hello from the EU Commission!

#NGIForum25

Dr. Monique Calisti kicking off Next Generation Internet Forum.

NGI continues for another year and half and then other Horizon Europe programs take over, I assume.

Agenda for the next 2 days: ngi.eu/ngi-forum25/

NGI Policy Summit will be happening 2025-11-20 in Brussels to discuss how investments will be allocated in the future.

(Be prepared for many moiré projector photos. The moiré is rainbow for #PrideMonth.)

#NGIForum25

Sean Bohan from OpenWallet Foundation now presenting on how he still believes in Mozilla’s old slogan: The Web we want.

3 potential futures for digital wallets:
1. One wallet to rule them all: This is bad.
2. Every wallet is an app: Also bad.
3. Wallets are like browsers: Use the best wallet app for you with interoperable credentials.

~“Free and open source software is permissionless innovation.” —Sean Bohan quoting his former manager

#NGIForum25

Sean Bohan: Regulators like to think “sovereignty” is their job. He’s having to explain to many people why individual digital sovereignty matters and is essential to privacy as a human right. Healthy debate happening between regulators and open source contributors demonstrating potential futures.

#NGIForum25

~“We started with a foundation. We then created a commercial spinoff—not a startup. We try to find clients, not venture capitalists.” —@jaromil, founder of @dyne

#NGIForum25

What do FOSS developers need?

Sean Bohan: We need better product marketing and more developer engagement. The closed-source world has many sales people and big marketing budgets. How do these FOSS projects get the word out about their great work and get into the room to talk to regulators when policy is being made?

#NGIForum25

~“Beware of hype. Do not step with funding into a hype cycle. Wait for the plateau or trough.” —@jaromil referring to the the Gartner Hype Cycle and the common pattern of government funding following innovation hype cycles rather than funding problem spaces

#NGIForum25

~“Open source is no longer enough. Open data is now essential consideration in the AI era.” —Pascal Steichen

#NGIForum25

If you were at the @EUCommission, what would be your next move?

Karin Lammers: Investigate why you use FOSS yourselves instead of US-based Big Tech.

@jaromil: Bring in more philosophers and scientists. Too many lawyers and engineers now.

#NGIForum25

What should be the moonshot goal for digital sovereignty for the people in this room?

Pascal: Not a fan of digital sovereignty positioning, but rather strategic autonomy. For people to have competence and capacity to secure their software and data.

Karin Lammers: For individuals and organizations to have choice in their tools and control of their data.

Sean Bohan: Sustainable funding for FOSS. British Colombia has good path forward.

Robbert Van Kranenburg: Bring NIST folks over

#NGIForum25

Delightfully unexpected #FediForum meetup in meatspace with @melaniebartos and @joanpla during the coffee break! Thinking of you, @j12t!

#NGIForum25

Ali Gonzalez shared @decidim to digitally engage citizens in governance

#NGIForum25

~”With NGI funding, we can invest time to bringing features to the ecosystem, rather than just our product.” — @renchap, repeatedly affirmed that Mastodon is just one part of the social web and the importance of interoperability

#NGIForum25

“I measure all software by its ability to support peace and democracy.” —@kora, answering their prior audience question about what the moonshot goal should be
