Following recent news, we have cancelled Mullvad's sponsorship of EMF 2026.

If you'd like to contribute to make up for the lost income, you can still sponsor EMF through our ticket shop:

Today is the anniversary of the catalyst for the modern #LGBTQIA+ rights movement, an anti-cop riot at New York's #Stonewall Inn led by all the letters of the #Queer Alphabet, including the T, and the reason #Pride Month is June.

Keep each other safe out there.

The thing that “AIs” are the best at is turning every communication into a conflict, where the LLM user is the attacker and the person who has to consume its output is the defender. https://blog.glyph.im/2026/06/adversarial-communication.html

The @fsfe just published a press release on the @EUCommission new #TechSovereignty Package, which was released today and contains the new #OpenSource Strategy. The Commission's communication explicitly mentions "Public Money? #PublicCode!" - a good reason for us to celebrate a bit today after 9 years of our PMPC campaign! And then, let's get back to work - fix loopholes, watchdog implementation, get secure, long-term funding for #FreeSoftware.

Read about some key points and my thoughts on it:

Today #CERN released its #KiCad component library to the public.
They are licensed CERN-OHL-P-2.0
Thank you OSPO ❤️ for getting this done.

Originally the library is made in Altium and will also be maintained in Altium. The repo only contains files that have been automatically converted.

It is a database library which contains only fully specified parts. There are lots of weird connectors. Have fun exploring.

The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took.

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

It is simply impossible. Pretending you can is the deepest form of cognitive dissonance and I'm just beyond disturbed to see it happening all around me.

I've already unfollowed so many folks I once respected, blocked some others, and just generally withdrawn from a community that used to be so personally fulfilling to be a part of. It's really sad.

Given Pink News are replacing their journalists with AI and platforming UK transphobe Wes Streeting, it is probably time to block their accounts and stop boosting or sharing their articles / links - in case you (still) hadn't got the message yet?

"Technology is neutral," you say?

Counterexample: Ageless Linux.

It shines a glaring spotlight on other OSs and their acceptance of bad age verification law, enacted under a pretense of child safety. In fact, these laws normalize privacy-violation and consolidate power in corporate entities without protecting children.

Other OSs comply, but Ageless Linux is a brilliant example of the potential for civil disobedience via technology.
