Where 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…

Just for sheer geekery's sake probably the ISDN talk. For OMG eye opening factor the FreeBSD jails talk (how the hell is this thing still so buggy?) and the talk on unencrypted satellite links For excellent follow-along value and dedication to ridiculously pointless cause the Freebox talk. "Technically I don't own this box so instead of risking damaging it I'm going to take the extremely long and entertaining route a…

Because everything that complex is going to be that buggy.

With the bugs they found fix a constant number of them still remains.

That in-house electronics one is gold.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Network effects, obviously.

I’d argue that what you're experiencing isn't the Network Effect anymore, but rather Vendor Lock-in.

The Network Effect implies the platform gets better for you as more people join. If they are deleting your content, the network is no longer serving you—it’s just holding you hostage. This is enshitification as it best. (this ironie with a cory doctorow link)

At this stage, it’s just a walled garden. Staying because 'everyone is here' while being silenced is learned helplessness.

You're voluntarily staying in a walled garden that refuses to let you speak.

But: The door is wide open, you can go.

One 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…

Assembly events like [2] are not recorded because they are largely self-organized and barely moderated (if at all).

The biggest problem with ccc is that: 0. They are releasing too few tickets. 1. They are releasing the tickets too late. 3. Still not able to pay with card?

I live somewhat nearby, but can’t book or plan a visit because of this. I appreciate that they are releasing videos shortly afterwards though.

https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-american-enshittification... Cory Doctorow's talk is quite strong.

Precisely the first video I started downloading and I didn't even realize it was from Cory. It carries even more weight now that "post-American" is coming from...an American. This guy stands for his ideals, I envy such resolve.

In the talk he mentions he’s from Canada…

You can pay with a card, but there is an additional 5 Euros fee (which is fair enough).

I booked a refundable hotel already in the summer, in case I won't get the tickets. But getting the ticket this year was relatively easy (though maybe I just got lucky).

Well that discussion talk is not an open discourse about the situation... He quoted what he believed was scientific evidence in a private conversation that became public, has comments on fashism being efficient are clearly anti-facist and believed to observe a gender stereotype. No matter if the facts were true, it should be possible to discuss such things (especially those you think are facts) in private without get…

I think people have little patience lately for tolerating private discussion they find objectionable with Epstein.

I think people have little patience (or rather fear) to engage with different points of view in general these days.
