Is there a better word for "privacy washing"? Like greenwashing, but where they pretend to care about ? Like how Google now pretends to introduce privacy measures, that are more like the exact opposite.

TikTok is spending ā‚¬1.2 billion to dodge bans in Europe.

European politicians are nervous about where TikTokā€™s data goes. The company is spending big on local data centers, but analysts say itā€™s not enough.

ā€œTikTok poses several unacceptable risks for European users, including data access by Chinese authorities, censorship, and the tracking of journalists".

Yo this thing is LOADED from Start9, Core i7, 32GB RAM, 2TB NVMe, thereā€™s WiFi and ethernet. Itā€™s so compact. Iā€™m loving this just as a computer even before I get to mess with the StartOS. Again Intel ME is disabled and the BIOS is 99.99% open source as itā€™s I believe a @purism Librem mini

sent me their Server Pure for a review. They appear to be based on the @purism Librem Mini computers. Intel ME is disabled out of the box. I will have to tinker with this on tomorrow live but their StartOS seems to be great for those starting to do a and they are all about data sovereignty and you owning your data. It has options to setup and out the box as well as and nodes with as well.

Got a scam call yesterday from the bank, which I never received since I changed my primary phone number.

The catch is, though, I got a call on my disposable eSIM phone number which I started to use actively for orders online :ablobcool:

I did not realise @Vivaldi was actually kinda good? I'll have to look into it further, features and such are important after all, but the customization is superb

interested to see where I'll be heading with testing this.

Many people simply can't do without cars, because... transport policies, but also geography.
For those who live in cities, one more reason to strengthen public transport and drastically reduce the use of private transportation

But for all the others, we need to demand better standards, now!
