Five FOIA requests have been filed.

Three with the State Department. One with Treasury/OFAC. One with the FBI.

We’re looking for the missing bureaucratic handoff: who first put Autistici/Inventati into the U.S. sanctions pipeline, when, and on whose referral?

The investigation is now also a public records docket. As agencies acknowledge, process, deny or release records, we’ll publish the paper trail and update the investigation.

Updates here:

Our workshop series in which we liberate us from the shitty big tech monopolies.

You want to move away from Windows, Google, Apple, Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter, Whatsapp or any of the other big tech monopolies, but you are unsure how and what are the alternatives?

Or you know that already, but you rather want to make that step with others instead of alone?

You just want to discuss in depth what is the coolest of the many alternatives to a service?

Or you are already very deep into the topic and you just want to help others in making the change?

Come around, together we boycott big tech bit by bit.

We meet every first Sunday of the month and every time we replace one more app with a privacy respecting alternative.

Our next workshop starts

📅 on September 6th

🕐 13:00 - 16:00

📍 in the CoWork @ Rizoma, Rua José Estêvão 4, 1150-202 Lisboa.

🆓 Admission is free.

👷 Agenda

• 13:00 Introduction, open discussion, help for early birds

• 13:45 - 14:00 short focus presentation on Senfcall (BigBlueButton) and Jitsi Meet as alternatives to Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, Webex and the like.

• In the rest of the workshop we just discuss whatever comes up and help each other with technical difficulties.

🧰🎒 What to bring

• Your devices: laptop 💻, smartphone 📱, ...

🐧 For people who want to change to Linux:

• Bring a computer on which you want to install Linux.

• Bring the appertaining charger with you.

• Bring a big external storage device with a backup of your data. (We recommend to make the backup beforehand).

• Besides your laptop, if possible also bring an empty USB flash drive with at least 4 GB.

• Bring your passwords. (So that you can set up your e-mail, etc. ...)

• Allow at least 2 hours for installation and setup.

Encontrarmos todos os primeiros domingos do mês e, a cada vez, substituirmos mais uma aplicação por uma alternativa que respeite a privacidade.

Sony PlayStation no longer wants us to own video games. As I understand, they implied we are only being licensed to the games. Days ago, they emailed users the full Terms of Service or something similar, asserting Sony PlayStation policy. Ok, what's your opinion? Because I very rarely play video games. Plus, I have never owned a console.
