> Inviting a member of parliament just to talk about being a member of parliament

Reading from your linked summary, I get the impression it's not just about being a member of the parliament


I have read it. It's filled with the usual politicians keyword stuffing but it's literally about being a member of parliament. If you want to be cynical you can call it an unpaid ad placement. The politician will use it afterwards to tout her expertise in "digital matters" because she held a speech at a renowned hackers conference and it will help her advancement in her factions caucus etc. I just don't see what benefit it has for attendees.


To be fair, she's been a political activist partially focused on internet/tech for quite a while (her husband was part of Wikileaks, then founded OpenLeaks). I don't know whether she's a member, but she's very socially progressive and economically very far left, so her values are strongly aligned with the CCC. I don't think it's just a gift for her to speak at a CCC event, it's essentially one of them speaking about the things they like to hear.


She is also very likely a CIA mole in the green party. So she's a person of interest


I hope you are watching the streams not to get into any details in particular. lol


I don't think making cities ad free in general isn't interesting to anyone who's not a German, let alone lives in that specific city


Dude, I think you forget about the pandemic.

There's no way any other event could be a in-person event right now.


Yeah, if congress happened in say, August instead of late December, I'm sure it would have happened in person.


There were multiple of the European hacker camps scheduled for this year and all the large ones had to cancel, I very much doubt Congress would have been able to happen either.



That's the same one as the linked table. It's not very usable on mobile phone browsers for example ...

No, I uninstalled it when Facebook acquired WhatsApp.

I switched to Telegram, Wire and Threema.

When Matrix became viable in 2020, I switched to it.

Though, I still have a few contacts remaining at Telegram.


Well, we can't do anything about it. It basically has already happened through prolonged inaction in the last decades.

1.5 degree is about to become unreachable. Nobody really cares.


Mitigation is essentially always an option... no better how bad it is, it can almost always get worse, as the saying goes. Resignation is a very bad life strategy overall.


I'd like to read about developing in the post JavaScript web


Sorry, what's the post JS web? Are you talking about WASM?


Perhaps. I am not sure if WASM is going to be it.

It certainly could be
