@DiogoConstantino @EUCommission I recommend people to be really skeptical about quality. I ordered some smart home sensors. They came with USB power adapters that could easily kill. The prongs came apart from the rest of the housing with minimal force.

The PCB was missing a lot of basic protection circuitry, proper separation, etc.

I try not to think about how many people in our appartment complex use such adapters.

@DiogoConstantino @EUCommission IMO one or the biggest issues is that the CE marking uses self-certification. So, it's hard to filter products based on that and hard to hold the shipper responsible if they do not have an EU entity.

One of the funniest parts of this self-certification is that there is a slightly modified version of the logo that stands for China Export.

@DiogoConstantino @EUCommission As far as I understand the issue now is that there are so many individual packages that it's impossible to check them.

Adding a 3 Euro fee, will drop the margins by such an extend (at least that's the theory), that Chinese shippers will switch to bulk shipping, which would be much easier to check (one pallet with the same product and not a mixture of 500 different products). We'll see if it works.

@ronfromnl @waag Ironically, Google Pixel is the other major phone with an unlockable bootloader.

Also has great hardware security (Titan M2 security processor, MTE), great cameras, and great SoC for the midrange price of the 10a.

BTW, if you enable microG's Play Integrity support (which is needed for many apps), you are still having the rowdy guest in your house. microG on /e/OS downloads and runs Google obfuscated DroidGuard blobs in a privileged process. So you might want to disable that.

@pepello @GrapheneOS So, what is Maoism? I think the scientific consensus is that it was a far-left and authoritarian ideology.

So, why is being opposed to left, center, or right authoritarianism a fascist generalization?

I feel like you and others are just nilly willy throwing around the word 'fascism' in this discussion. At some point if you call everything you don't 100% agree with 'fascist', it starts to lose its meaning (which would be bad for addressing real fascism).

@Dragon @cartocalypse @drgeo @doctormo I fear that in the end only something like Cloudflare works, since they can see a large chunk of internet traffic and therefore detect crawlers across many different sites. This is necessary because these residential crawlers often only do one or a few requests to each site, so it is hard to detect them from a single site.

We need a non-profit CDN!
