@tagesschau und das ist erst der Anfang...

"#MediaIlliteracy" aka. Mangelnde #Medienkompetenz und "#TechIlliteracy" aka. Mangelnde #Technologiekompetenz gefärdet bereits seit langem die #FDGO, sei es #RTdeutsch oder #Zensursula, #NIUS oder wasauchimmer für #VerfassungsfeindlichKackshice & #CyberfaschistischeKackshice sich #CDU / #CSU wieder ausdenken...

Hinzu kommt natürlich unter #BlackRot (wie kaum einer Regierung zuvor) dass Menschen in existentielle Ängste und Nöte getrieben werden um diese mittels #Angst gefügig zu halten.

Das ist kein Versehen sondern volle Absicht!!!

@Rasp yes, simply because most of them don't understand that #Linux ain't a simple monolith like Windows or macOS:

Linux is more like a "Döner and Falafel" shop with Distros being menu items ranging from "Meat on Fries with Sauce" aka. "PommDöner" (i.e. @OS1337) to a fancy munti-course meal with vegan and meat options (i.e. the whole Debian family from BunsenLabs to Ubuntu LTS]…

@autonomysolidarity Und deshalb ist es umso wichtiert "#HärterVerschlüsseln!"

#Cyberfaschismus kann nur durch #TechLiteracy bekämpft werden: Nur wenn es faktisch unmöglich durchzusetzen ist wird dies gestoppt!

Antwortete im Thread

@chiefgyk3d and this #Cyberfacism must be opposed by any and all means necessary!

And that means "#EncryptHarder!"

Cuz if we don't act swiftly against this "#CorrosionStrategy" and constant assault against #HumanRights & #CivilRightd we'll end up not with "P.R." #China but #NorthKorea-Level of #facism!

@watchfulcitizen @krypt3ia IDK the argument on the swedish side.

  • #Germany does argue with children having a #RightToEducation and 'not being able to consent' having that taken away from them, with the only groups whining about it internationally being affiliated with #Christofacists that don't want their children to be taught things they dislike.

Given the fact that Germany does demand private schools to meet if not exceed the standards in education quality, training and pay of public schools and having school exams standardized on a per-state level the core idea is sound.

  • My main problem is that the system is severely neglected, ableist, discriminatory and needs more investment and positive changes.

But back to my criticism: There's no valid excuse to not teach proper #TechLiteracy:

  • I don't expect people to build their own distro, but I literally met someone who graduated 6 years after (2019 ) me (2013) highschool and that person didn't even know how to use a mouse or keyboard (I wish I was joking) and this person wasn't someone who barely got through exams, but one deemed eligible for university and starting a traineeship in an administrative / "white collar" role...

I internally "blue-screened" for a minute because onlike some professor emeritus or someone else [close to] retirement age there was no reason this person didn't knew tech, espechally since they weren't from like an impoverished household and barely made it into school as refugee...

@midtsveen Yes, #Fairphone needs to up their game, but that still does make them one of the better vendors.

Now realize most #TechIlliterate #Normies never update their devices even if they get updates at all!

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps. My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal [¹](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114234551915193036) [²](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114935952643402592), #Telegram, #Discord [³](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114865723904157014), #WhatsApp [⁴](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114873895410403238), #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside: - *WHY* is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite? - *WHY* does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can?? This problem ain't new and *already got [solved for corporate social media](https://infosec.space/@kkarhan/114862619013462466) ages ago!* (Not to mention actually good messengers!) - And no, [bridges](https://toots.ch/@dalai/114862754556459439) *[don't](https://swecyb.com/@troed/114862774972645542) count*! - I mean `API 0` - [style](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685423773959519) access because obviously [none of the platforms](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685414638522984) will *allow, endorse or support such an endeavour* and [*actively fight the developers and users*](https://digipres.club/@foone/112685441496803574) ! So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim@fosstodon.org / #Gajim or @pidgin@fosstodon.org / #Pidgin *for garbage platforms!* - Cuz back in the day we had *way worse messengers* yet people actually made #AIM, #ICQ, #MSN, #QQ, #IRC & #XMPP work just fine from one single *"phat" client*! - Can we please get that back? Cuz #WastefulComputing pisses me off! #api0 #Enshittification

@rakoo @delta @cy @thunderbird

It is a good tool because it allows for self-custody of keys.

  • Also by that notion manually setting up an eMail account is also complicated for anything that Thunderbird can't autoguess or doesn't have in it's database.

Shure that isn't an excuse for #Thunderbird to not deliver sane defaults and handhold users asking them at account creation/import if they want to create/import a keypair and/or wish to automatically activate it.

  • Same with pulic keys: #Enigmail used to have the nice feature to automagically attach the Pubkey to every eMail and to automatically sign and encrypt them. In fact I have this preconfigured to the point that any non-encrypted eMail requires me to manually confirm stuff.

I don't "belittle people for not knowing how to use gpg" but instead acknowledge the lack of #TechLiteracy as a matter of facts because most people got groomed into being consoomers and into ignorant users.

  • It's not their fault, it's decades of failed education and awareness that now demand compound interest like credit card debt.
blah.rako.spacerakoo (@rakoo@blah.rako.space)@kkarhan I'm sorry but no, gpg in @thunderbird doesn't "just work". You need to manually create a key with the 16 clicks and technical chops that go with it, you need to understand the settings, y...

@HumboldtUni Ich halte das für fundamental falsch, weil #Schulen heutzutage nichtmals fundamentale #MediaLiteracy geschweige denn #TechLiteracy hinbekommen.

Wir brauchen mit solchem Bullshit nicht anfangen bevor niht jede #Schule #Glasfaser und mindestens nen kompletten Klassensatz an #Pi500 am Start hat damit #Schüler*innen auch #Informatik lernen und nicht zu #Microsoft-#Kunden verblödet werden!!!

Ernsthaft, da hätte die #EU das in andere #Forschung und #Entwicklung oder #Infrastruktur investieren können, statt irgendwelche #Buzzwords wie #AI nachzurennen die eh nur dazu da sind #Geldverbrennung zu betreiben!

@pixelcode @taylan Your nonchalant "So what?" gets people publicly murdered by the state in many juristictions...

  • Which is why there is no substitute to teaching proper #TechLiteracy ffs!

If things were so easy as in "JuSt UsE sIgNaL!" then @signalapp would be shut down.

If you do think so then you should really get some professional help, cuz you seem rather lost...

  • #Signal doesn't even bother to have an #OnionService, much less to provide means to use their service without self-doxxing with a #PhoneNumber, which at best is pseudonymous and requires money to attain and maintain...

It's #centralization is an absolute nightmare and mist be deemed as criminally neglectful!

MastodonPixelcode 🇺🇦 (@pixelcode@social.tchncs.de)@kkarhan@infosec.space @taylan@feministwiki.org For every messenger there's the risk of someone finding out that you use that messenger (for example when you download the app without a proxy or when you rent a server for self-hosting). So what? Nothing and no one stops you from voluntarily using Tor to connect to Signal (Orbot, InviZible, Advanced Privacy etc.). For those oppressed by authoritarian regimes, Signal offers easy-to-use censorship-circumvention proxy support built into the app. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360056052052-Proxy-Support

@Andromxda @mollyim no it's not bs and fanboying @signalapp isn't going to change that.

If #Signal was secure it would be the #1 comms tool of organized crime...

Real professionals use #SelfHosting capable, fully #FLOSS'd solutions like #PGP/MIME & #XMPP+#OMEMO.

It's just me reading the room: Cuz #ComSec isn't done woth "JuSt UsE sIgNaL!" and everyone who claims so without pointing out #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ITsec is BSing hard.

  • The cold hard truth is that #TechLiteracy is irreplaceable and the only solution to it is to actually teach normies how to "get gud" with stuff like PGP.

Fortunatelty, @thunderbird and @tails_live / @tails / #Tails and many other tools make that easier than ever before.
