Then why continue to donate time and attention to censorship platforms? Having a Facebook account is completely optional.

#24I haven't seen all of them (which I wanted to see) yet, I had a lot of fun with various talks. Thus far, my favourite one was hands down [1], and I can explain why. I am not at all good with hardware, nor hardware designing i.e. I'm not the target audience for this talk.
However, the talk was beautiful. It went quick, was informative, good slides, very respectful Q&A (comms and quality-wise), and it had a message of DIY _and_ inspiring hope. It is easy to criticize X or say we need to do better with Y. These guys are doing it, and their journey and findings is completely open source (even though there was substantial financial risk involved). The hacker spirit 101.

#26One interesting detail: In previous years, Joscha Bach gave a talk on AI, consciousness, and related topics (see e.g. [0]). A similar talk was planned for this year as well, but after emails between him and Epstein were made public (see his comment on this in [1]), his talk was canceled. Instead, there appears to have been an event that critically addressed the situation [2]. Unfortunately it was not recorded. Did an…
To add some context and to spare readers who, like me, know nothing about Joscha Bach and only little about Epstein from having to go through all the linked material: The allegations do not appear to involve abuse or moral complicity with Epstein. Instead, they seem to focus on emails Bach exchanged with Epstein concerning IQ, race, and possibly sex. Bach denies these allegations of racism and sexism. That is at leas…
For context, this is the email exchange between Joscha and Epstein: https://www.jmail.world/thread/HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026406?view=i... (original doc: https://epstein-emails.sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/docs/HOUS...).

#28Where were people's favourite lectures? I attended 7 talks. My favourite talk by far was hacking the GPG. Brilliant, really: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-to-sign-or-not-to-sign-practical... The "In-house electronics manufacturing from scratch" was a very inspiring talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-in-house-electronics-manufacturi... The rest were less good for me personally. Either over-dramatic and shallow (with a se…
"Liberation of the Freebox", A slightly crazy Frenchman embarks on a quest to find exploit and write a complex exploit chain, using PrDoom and the Linux HFS+ driver to gain root privileges on his set-top box. All this in order to unlock the recording of somewhat rubbish TV channels such as TF1 and M6.
And he waited almost ten years and the retirement of the hardware to reveal it because he didn't want it to be patched.
If you are into hardware emulation "From silicon to Darude sand-storm" is fun.

#29I can’t not see Catbert in the video player iconography. Someone tell me they did this intentionally.
The icon is supposed to represent one of those waving cat figurines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneki-neko
It has some long tradition placing those visibly on the podium. As the story goes, the idea is that you can immediately see if the video stream freezes up (because the cat in the video suddenly stops waving). You wouldn't immediately catch that in between talks (when you have some time to fix the issue) if the camera was just pointed at an empty stage with no movement. I think at 30C3 or so, I saw one that was placed so that it would repeatedly knock on the microphone as well.
Anyway, the waving cat has become a bit of a meme by itself and mascot of the VOC, hence also the (animated) icon in video player.

#30I can’t not see Catbert in the video player iconography. Someone tell me they did this intentionally.
It is a Maneki-neko (beckoning cat / Winkekatze). The video team started putting them on podiums so they could see when a stream was frozen. So it became kind of a mascot.
