"Que dicen que eres un vago y un pintor mediocre que solo sabe pintar cabezas" Velázquez:

The vote is over — and on paper, we lost. Chat Control 1.0 is reinstated until April 2028. But look at how it passed: with just 314 votes in a 720-seat Parliament — because the EPP’s second-reading trick meant opponents needed 361 to stop it. The bar to block it was set higher than the bar to pass it. It carried on the last day before summer recess, with barely 600 of 720 MEPs in the room. What Parliament rejected in March passed today — on an empty chamber and a procedural tilt. That should trouble anyone who cares about how democracy works, not just about privacy. What this means in practice: US tech companies are again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion — direct messages on Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype and Xbox, and emails via Gmail and iCloud. The real fight now moves to September, when Chat Control 2.0 — the permanent regulation that reaches into end-to-end encryption — returns to negotiation.

Die Chatkontrolle kommt. Kein guter Tag für Freiheit & Bürgerrechte…

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace. The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication. What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required. That is the democratic scandal. When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick. And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive. This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause. A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion. Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters. This is a dark day for Europe. Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together. Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this. Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

FERNANDO ALONSO TAKES HIS 33TH WIN IN FORMULA 1

@PlayStation Se acabó comprar PlayStations (tengo todas) y se acabó pagar por videojuegos digitales. Un fakin .exe autocontenido en mi escritorio o barbarie.

@SoyMotor Se cree rock lee enseñando los tobillos lastrados

Ahora que Amazon eliminó el soporte a todos los Kindle de primero y segunda generación, usen kindlemodding.org y liberen sus Kindle de las garras de Amazon.

@alomgc14 Es obvio que si tu ídolo nacional va bien, la gente se traga LO QUE SEA. Pero solo puede haber 1-3 ídolos a los que le va bien, el resto de los fans lo vemos por las carreras en sí. Lo que hay que mirar es cómo reacciona esa masa que no tiene a ningún favorito jugándose nada.

@Nachez98 No, a mí me dijeron que es porque no gana Alonso nosequé

@victorabadf1 Sí y ver tus vlogs es lo único interesante de un finde de F1 🥺

@Fede19890303 @AmantesdelTC Se quejaba lo mismo 🥱

@DAZN_ES Que neumáticos tan raros no sabía que en ese año los de lluvia pochos (porque ese dibujo es pocho) eran amarillos! Lo que se aprende de Dazn 🥰

LaLiga blocking "vital services" includes things like hospitals, booking medical appointments, etc. Please do not get sick or injured in Spain on the same day that the football is on. 🙏 x.com/i/status/20239…

@ProtonVPN Tebas has even gone so far as to block hospital websites during football matches, and at times it has been necessary to use VPNs even to make medical appointments. During these events, Cloudflare said, ‘I pray no one dies.’

LaLiga has been ordering Spanish ISPs to block ~3000 IP addresses almost every weekend. Because Cloudflare IPs are shared, this has been doing massive collateral damage to thousands of legitimate websites, apps, and vital services - all at the whim of a private corporation.

We have become aware of recent reports concerning legal proceedings in Spain that may affect VPN services, including Proton VPN. At this stage, we were not aware of any proceedings that may have been underway prior to these reports coming to light and have not been formally notified of any proceedings or judgment. Moreover, any judicial order issued without proper notification to the affected parties, thereby denying them the opportunity to be heard, would be procedurally invalid under fundamental principles of due process. Spanish courts, like all courts operating under the rule of law, are bound by procedural safeguards that ensure parties are given a fair opportunity to present their case before any binding judgment is rendered.

@empleo_SEPE @YoryoBass Y por qué no implementais que haya que hacer ante la webcam un salto con doble tirabuzón antes de darle a "continuar"? Puestos a meter fricción en un proceso tan simple como rellenar un formulario.

I just found this in my son’s room is he doing drugs?

@revistafium Sí
