š„„ Eye've been seeing toots urging evacuation from the #Chrome_Browser -- for #privacy and #security -- and just assumed that this would be difficult to do on #Android devices.
Actually, nothing could be further from the truth:
Hit your #Settings icon, enter "default browser" in the search and fill the radio button for the browser of your choice.
If you don't already have another browser installed, do install one before starting this process, if you want it to come up as an available choice. š„„

It seems the only thing keeping US companies from selling name-revealing facial recognition tools (and even glasses) is their own business decisions.
It's time for better privacy laws.
Here is a gift link to the New York Times.

#Start9 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 #twitch tomorrow live but their StartOS seems to be great for those starting to do a #homelab and they are all about data sovereignty and you owning your data. It has options to setup #Mastodon and #Matrix out the box as well as #bitcoin and #monero nodes with #tor as well.

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 #privacy standards, now!
