We wish Apple had listened to more voices before deciding to scan our phones. We’ve brought some groups together that need to be heard. Join us on Oct. 12: https://www.eff.org/event/perspectives-encryption-and-child-safety
I have tried to share info on the software freedom camp and Youth hacking for freedom evnts. with various people locally in Torbay, Devon,
It seems people locally are not capable of reading or replying to e-mail, even when I have dropped in to their office, asked about sending people stuff and then sending, that way they know it is from me and not getting lost in their spam folder.
I put the following flyer together, very quickly to help me over the weekend at least give the info out and start the conversation.
I am at Code Club on Saturday so hopefully will have more luck directly talking to people.

Facebook whistleblower to appear before UK Parliament
This is interesting, as the committee (2nd link) will be looking at the legislation needed to deal with big tech or tech in general.
Perhaps the fediverse needs to have some sort input in to all this too.

The quote actually originated with Rutherford and was later repeated in another form by Einstein, feynman adopted it as a technique.
Rutherford said "it should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid."
Einstein said, while referencing Rutherford in a conversation with de Broglie in france: "that all physical theories, their mathematical expressions apart ought to lend themselves to so simple a description that even a child could understand them."
So Einstein coined the phrase and idea in reference to a child.
The Feynman technique was explicitly inspired by Einstein and is a 4 step technique:
1) Pick the subject of interest
2) explain the concept as if to a 6th grader
3) Identify the holes in your understanding
4) Study the parts you couldnt explain simply
While the Feynman technique is based off observations in Feynmans study habits he never taught the technique formally nor did he define it.

@aral Or we use revenue from GDPR fines and taxation on social media companies to help fund the fediverse.
This is also the MET police who currently have a lot of problems of their own with regard to police conduct.

To be fair, I think there are concerns even within the royal family as to the damage he is causing by not cooperating despite saying he would do.

Do people own smart phones ( if you look at that in the traditional sense) or just the right to use them as Apple /; Google seem to control everything from performance to updates
