@noybeu the only "adjustment" the #GDPR needs is getting sharp teeth and strict enforcements as well as actual penalties, like companies being banned as criminal enterprises, their asset seized and their CxOs getting jailed!

"Regardless what you think of the politics motivating this video, it’s great to see open source getting greater traction", says Tyler August over at @hackaday .

So… it's "politics" when people advocate for Europe/Europeans easing their heavy dependency on #US tech and infrastructure, but it's "just technology" when everyone falls for the surveilling techno-fascism of #US giants. 🙄

Escaping US Tech Giants Leads European YouTuber To Open Source

The video (embedded below) by [TechAltar] is titled “1 Month without US tech giants”, but it could have been titled “1 Month with Open Source Tools” — because, as it t…

What are the odds that when DOGE has finished "uncovering all the fraud", the resulting fraud convictions total fewer than the 34 that Donald Trump already has all by himself?
If Elon Musk actually leaves DOGE in May, don’t celebrate. And don't let up. Escaping accountability is his whole game. He’s a Nazi, propping up fascism, wrecking lives, and laundering cruelty. Keep the pressure on. Torch his brand. Shatter his legacy. Make sure history spits on his name.

Just 5 years ago these weren't common:
- Easy email aliasing
- Secure, Android Alts
- Crossplatform E2EE TOTP
- E2EE Google Photos Alts
- Properly pre-hardened Firefox Forks
- Robust, easy-to-use firewall tools
- Evidence-based data removal services

Stay Positive. Keep Fighting.

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near future. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop.

It is no longer safe to move our governments and societies to US clouds - Bert Hubert's writings

The very short version: it is madness to continue transferring the running of European societies and governments to American clouds. Not only is it a terrible idea given the kind of things the “King of America” keeps saying, the legal sophistry used to justify such transfers, like the nonsense letter the Dutch cabinet sent last week, has now been invalidated by Trump himself. And why are we doing this? Convenience.
