Fedi stories in/for/out (EU) Public Admin. Adult version.

ZZEPPOSS
Content warning! Expect a rather ‘erotic’ reading of stories based on extracts of our research, brewed by a quirky mind.
This is a reading of some red-tape-diary stories, based on FediVariety’s deep package inspection on the EDPS’s ‘EU Voice/Video’ pilot project—but with a juicy twist! Every character is real, each event actually happened, and all quotes are genuine. However, all of this will be ridiculously tweaked. Views are very personal, none of the involved (EU) organisations or individuals accept any liability for damage of any kind resulting from the risks inherent in the erotic transmission of messages. — About the speaker (Cpt.) ZZEPPOSS’s lifelong passion for technology was ignited by a childhood fascination with screwdrivers, electro-mechanical pinball machines, klunker bikes, the treasures found in his dad’s workshop… and garbage dumpsites. This fervent enthusiasm puzzled his parents and teachers for years, as it continues to baffle his colleagues, compatriots, and friends to this day. ‘Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.' is his leitmotif (cfr. WEC).

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurement community, who run experiments over censored networks. In this talk, we’ll discuss two ways censorship measurement has evolved from passive experimentation to active attacks against the Great ...

While the extreme right is on the rise in many countries and climate change is unrolling, a promising future seems to be written: According to Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and some other “tech bros” it is to leave the dying planet to go to space. With the help of something called “A(G)I”. But what kind of future is the one that is promised? And what is the connection between power cycles of tech company owners and people who's believes can be called fascist? As we moved power through data in ...

Typography is the art of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. However, for the neophyte, typography is mostly apprehended as the juxtaposition of characters displayed on the screen while for the expert, typography means typeface, scripts, unicode, glyphs, ascender, descender, tracking, hinting, kerning, shaping, weigth, slant, etc. Typography is actually much more than the mere rendering of glyphs and involves many different concepts. If glyph ...

Astrology is usually associated with horoscopes, prediction, or belief systems. In this self-organised session, we’ll test a different idea: using astrology as a symbolic language to reflect on daily routines, decision-making, and energy management — without fate, mysticism, or “the stars made me do it”. The session is interactive and experimental. We’ll look at how astrological concepts can function similarly to tools people already use: retrospectives, calendars, personality models, ...
