Today we are adding our signature (and that of our parent company @xwikisas.bsky.social) to a new open letter against the so-called "Chat Control" EU regulation. We thank our friends at @tuta.com, @proton.me and @mailfence.com for writing it.

#ChatControl

Europe's future is at stake: Open letter against Chat Control

European SMEs have united to direct a strong open letter to urge ministers of EU member states to oppose Chat Control and to defend privacy and a strong European tech industry.

Hello! CryptPad doesn't require any CAPTCHA (which are very bad for accessibility anyway). We've found that most automated spammers cannot reach our documents, as those require JavaScript to be enabled and some computation (due to end-to-end encryption) before accessing the content. Give it a try! 😊

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

I Am An AI Hater

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

We love to see CryptPad being put to good use! Keep up the good work @airlibraryscotland.bsky.social! 💗

Air Library Scotland @airlibraryscotland.bsky.social · Jul 1

We're excited to announce we're now ready to take booking requests for air purifiers in and around Edinburgh! Anyone can borrow & loans are free.
Many thanks to @smartairuk.bsky.social for donating a SA600 and a Blast Mini, enabling this initiative!

Request form: cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/for...

Text: Request form now open! We’re now ready to accept requests from individuals and organisations who want to borrow air purifiers in the Edinburgh area Please read this post before putting in a request! Behind the headline, a dark blue hexagon with yellow shadow, with light blue extending out from it to the right. All images have the Air Library Scotland blue pinwheel in a yellow circle in the bottom left corner.

Second image. Text: How it works 1: Follow the link in our bio to the cryptpad request form 2: Fill out the form: When you want the purifier, for how long, what kind of space/event you’re wanting it for - we can help you find the right model for your use case if you’re unsure 3: We’ll get back to you within 7 days to let you know if we have purifiers available for your chosen dates, and discuss the details 4: Get your air purifier & breathe safer air! We can also help with creating a clean air policy or providing other precautions.

Third image. Text: Who can borrow? Any individual or organisation can borrow an air purifier! You could use it for.... organising meetings, social clubs, gigs, readings & exhibitions, medical appointments, and more! NB: our purifiers have limited portability. We might be able to accommodate longer-term requests but chances are higher the further in advance you contact us about them. Loans are free by default but we accept donations to keep up with maintenance costs.
