If they want voter information don't they just ask Microsoft? Or Facebook? Or Google/Amazon/Apple? Pretty sure any one of them are more than capable of supplying far more detailed information than a state government.

This is the best response.

Some of us never wanted to leave, and will never forgive the racist, selfish, bastard boomers who carried the leave vote when they wouldn't live long enough to suffer the long term consequences.

Anyone got a a link to the unlockable bootloader confirmation?
If that's confirmed, its a big deal - to me at least though I'd also want some comments or info from clicks about other OSs running on the device?

The board of peace is basically Spectre brought out of the James Bond films into this fucked up reality where a bunch of morons elected Biff Tannen... twice.

As has been better posed in another reply, unless you have some evidence of backdoors for end to end encryption of Signal, I'm going to personally dismiss your comments as bullshit.

In any case, even using the signal app, Signal don't have the scale or the commercial interest to weaponise my metadata in the way that meta can from WhatsApp use.

I'll stand by my comment that not all is EU, but signal remains a move in the right direction to improve privacy and security and reduce the US economic value extracted from my personal activity.

Not being able to run ai spyware 11 sounds like a big entry in the plus column to me 😅

Not all EU, but all moves in the right direction i think...

Android to GrapheneOS

WhatsApp to Signal

Windows to Linux Mint

Office365 to Libre office

Chrome to Vivaldi

Google search to Ecosia

Google maps to Organic maps

GMail / Calendar to Proton + own domain. (Not .com obviously)

Google Drive to Proton Drive

MS Onedrive to Filen

Made a Raspberry Pi SFTP server also running syncthing. (Need to set it up to be a PiHole too)

Kindle to Kobo

Reddit to Lemmy

Retro gaming on handhelds

Streaming services to physical media (and self ripped digital files)

Plus boycot all the fast food chains, coca-cola etc.

That's off the top of my head.

Well that sucks. I assumed the ram, ssds, hdds could be recycled into useful forms.

Can we all buy cheap hardware when the bubble bursts and the billionaires decide not to pay the electricity bills for these ridiculous datacentres?

[–] GMac@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

Completely agree and I'm on the same train. I boycott as much as I can from the USA.

When the rest of the world catches up, dumps us bonds, treasuries, stocks, and revokes ridiculous copyright protections that prevent repair or circumvention to disenshittify, then I'll be satisfied.

I think Americans need to be more concerned than I do about that. Sorry state of affairs when education is a criticism
