New Open Source law in Switzerland
Reply in thread
Swiss lemming here. Switzerland already open-sourced multiple projects before, most notably the app to store your COVID test / vaccination status in. It was even officially available on F-Droid. I was very suprised at that point, and I'm happy to see that there are now efforts to make such behavior more default and less edge case, even when there are exceptions.

I totally agree regarding making it optional, but I have to say the idea of auto generating alt texts sounds like a really useful application of AI - no one really likes to do that manually yet a significant number of beautiful people rely on it.

A review from earlier this year didn't sound too bad.
Edit: as pointed out, the review seems to be about the previous version of the phone.

Microsoft is enabling BitLocker device encryption by default on Windows 11
I think this is a step in the right direction. Everyone can lose a portable device or it can get stolen, so protecting the potentially sensitive data is important.
I think what people are complaining about is not full-disk encryption itself, but the fact that people are not used to being responsible for their cryptographic keys.
I think we should educate people regarding this responsibility. We did it with regular keys we use to unlock our homes.

What privacy friendly app/service/stuff makes your life simpler?
Nextcloud all the way. I especially love the calendar, contacts and notes integrations besides the file sync, and it's extensibility in general. Such a powerful tool.

Podman 5.3 released with changes for improved networking experience with pasta
Reply in thread
Take a look at the podman kube play command which lets you run K8s-style stack definitions on podman. Has partly replaced compose for me (although I still have some docker servers running for stacks that don't play nicely with podman yet).
