"Les lunettes intelligentes d’Apple s’aventurent sur un terrain miné en matière de protection de la vie privée"

So #Signal #securebackup is payable (fully OK!) Bit requires a #google account?

I very rarely emit so blunt criticism, but I find that ridiculous! I do not want anything to do with the #gafams and I surely don't expect Signal to push me back there!

I don't know if it's a #selfhosting #IT topic or a #psy #OCD #burnout topic.
I don't know if it's a call for help or if I just need to dump this here.

First, I'm very glad that I could totally leave the #GAFAMs! Yes, they make your digital life apparently easier, but the price to pay is IMHO far, far too high. I despise them!

My #selfhost setup is driving me nuts: #VPN, online services, I can't decide if I'm happy with my #Synology #NAS hosting (backed up on SYnology C2), if I need a #VPS (my attempts showed that maintenance is high) or an assisted hosting service (like #PikaPods which sounds great). Availability of online services would be higher.

"Many viral videos capitalize on Palantir being the evil company bent on surveillance and elimination of your privacy. And though I've talked about what I understood about Palantir for over a decade, I didn't really truly understand what they did. So I did some deep research and instead of confirming what other people have said, I was surprised to arrive at a different conclusion -- that Palantir is not the bogey man. Oh yes, it is a tool that can be used to kill people, but who's pushing the buttons?"—Rob Braxman Tech

Palantir kills people? But what if the real villain is closer to home? >

Se libérer des GAFAMs avec l’EU

Lire l’article de Korben : Bruxelles veut (enfin !!) miser sur l’Open Source pour se libérer des GAFAMs.

https://korben.info/consultation-ue-open-source.html 

La Commission européenne vient de lancer ce qu’elle appelle un « Appel à contributions » (ou Call for Evidence en angliche) autour de l’Open Source. Et attention, l’idée c’est pas juste d’utiliser VLC ou LibreOffice sur les PC des fonctionnaires mais carrément de revoir la stratégie 2020-2023 pour faire de l’open source une véritable infrastructure essentielle pour l’Europe.

A suivre.

"Did you know that the standard of Google searches has actually gotten worse over recent years? Once you think about it, it makes sense. Highly effective search means fewer searches overall. And fewer searches mean less ad revenue. The financial basis of Alphabet, which is Google’s parent company, is, of course, digital advertising. Which means that undermining the quality of the company’s cornerstone product actually makes money. That’s how crazy the modern internet has become. There are, as the saying goes, many such cases."—Novara Media

On a fait hier aux #Sheds un chouette atelier sur les dangers des #GAFAMS sur les moyens de s'émanciper des logiciels privateurs, et notemment la présentation du #Démailnagement. Une vingtaine de personnes sont venues y assister.

On sent vraiment un désir de bouger chez un public qu'on ne croisait pas avant.
