giga_private··on For the Children: A short story about the endgame of EU Chat Control
I completely agree with you. I have the exact same experience when trying to talk about this with more "normie" people.

That is why I wrote this short story, which I believe can make a more people think about privacy.

The problem is reaching the right people outside of the bubble where we already care about these issues.

Exactly. We have to make this topic much more mainstream. That is the only solution I see.

Maybe. But I would say in many cases its also the lack of knowledge by the people. They are not really aware (or are ignorant) of what lack of freedom can cause.

I think the solution is to make talking about this topic more "mainstream".

I have been closely following the debate around "Chat Control" in the EU and similar anti-encryption regulations worldwide. I’ve noticed that while the technical experts are worried, the general public still doesn't quite grasp what life after privacy actually feels like.

I believe fiction can sometimes communicate these stakes better than a technical whitepaper ever could. I wrote this short story to explore the logical conclusion of these laws.

giga_private··on More than 100k people urge MPs to ban social media for under-16s in UK
It is another regulation aimed at tightening control over the internet, framed under the classic “for the children” slogan
giga_private··on The Types of Vibe Coders
I think an engineer can vibe code if he/she just doesnt look at the code (even though he would know what is going on if he did).

IMO a better definition of vibe coding would be in regards to reading the actual code. Eg. I started videcoding this project but after I made it to X, I actually had to manually rewrite the code, thats where the vibes stopped.
