Good 👍 The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arrive - True digital sovereignty begins at the desktop. Privacy and safety is important. Microsoft is not trustworthy vendor anymore and it’s OS and apps are spyware. https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/27/the_european_union_linux_desktop/

Meta’s AI can write a catch-up summary of messages you’ve missed

Now, is a good time to move to @signalapp

If you think your messages are safe on WhatsApp because it is end-to-end encrypted, just remember that Meta holds the encryption keys...

@ozzelot @mintydev @EUCommission It's some pretty basic IT stuff, you keep backupS of your important data on a reliable disk and you keep them on separate sites, this predates the cloud trend.

Not what I'm asking. https://mstdn.social/@ozzelot/114734988080250630

@kDelta@mastodon.ie Okay, fine. Do you have any proper research, by the manufacturers you mention or otherwise, that backs up the non-inclusion of SD card slots in phones? @mintydev@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@ozzelot On the reliability of SD cards? Sure here you go https://mstdn.social/@ozzelot/114734968241546320

Ozzelot :anarchy: :linux: (@ozzelot@mstdn.social)

@kDelta@mastodon.ie Sure, I am going to yeet the only copy of my data at a third party and trust them with it. Also, quite a wild claim about SD card reliability - I've had maybe one card die on me ever, and it was a cheap brand going on for longer than it had any right to. (As for Apple not using them, I'm thinking that's just along the lines of basic greed, though of course I have no confirmation for that, nor for Apple or Samsung not using SD cards because of reliability issues.) @mintydev@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

@kDelta
That was published long after the decisions of Apple and Samsung to not include SD card slots and therefore could not have lead to their decisions

Yvette Cooper Jun 23

@ozzelot Good luck with your data. Have a nice day.

@kDelta
I am :) Less nice for not having proof of any particular reasons why Apple doesn't include an SD card slot, though. Truly an enigma.
