The ratio of AI slop vs interesting, well thought out posts?

It's not, it's just dumb people overdosing on US propaganda.

The GDPR is making Big Tech angry so the EU must be doing something right there.

Cookie banners are just malicious compliance: https://www.bitecode.dev/p/there-is-no-eu-cookie-banner-law

(ChatControl is an abomination though and I hope it never goes through.)

New browser logo just dropped.

Awesome movie.

Such bullshit that the back button doesn't work in the YouTube (Android) app just to make you enable search history.

I say we burn all Big Tech to the ground and start over from scratch.

That is the Big Reset we need.

I'm still amazed the best printing experience I have across all my platforms is a tiny app on #SailfishOS.

Whenever my desktop, Android phone or Chrome browser barf on some PDF I just sent it to SeaPrint and it just does what it is supposed to do.

They sure managed to keep the pedo book with all the Trump stuff in it out of the news.

They say they're my on it.

I can imagine sure to legalese and security they don't just want to dump the whole thing on a public repo without going through the code first.

Not sure whether I already reposted this but this is a good read by skepchick:

It's probably too late already but Americans need to rise up en masse to displace dictator Trump and everything to goes with him.

There's no other way.

Peaceful protests are not going to do anything. There will not be a (meaningful) next time to vote.

This will get a lot of people killed.

With Google locking down Android are there any viable mobile OSs, not based on Android, usable as a daily driver besides #SailfishOS?

I haven't used any of the other mobile Linux OSs besides #Sxmo for a short while.

And "viable" is of course very subjective but minimally one should be able to make and receive calls without any issues, SMS, mobile data up to 5G amd VoLTE, run a Signal client and browser.

That which does not kill us, gives us cancer.

Apparently I was working on a Common Lisp Unix shell two years ago as a fun project.

It is just minimally functional but maybe it'll make someone laugh, so I've uploaded it to Codeberg.

A Dutch bank (Triodos Bankieren NL) has added explicit support for GrapheneOS and will be testing it going forward:

https://github.com/PrivSec-dev/banking-apps-compat-report/issues/133#issuecomment-3087638715

They join a growing number of banking apps actively permitting users to use a much more secure device instead of trying to ban it instead.

Oh damn, that's nice!

I'm so happy I never got used to the convenience of consumer-grade #Android and iOS by using degoogled devices or #SailfishOS.

Pretty happy with the "load thread from source" functionality for Mastodon in my client.

Especially handy when one is on a smaller instance that misses out on a lot of the replies.
