In an effort to better understand my diet, I asked the Kagi search engine (no AI, no ads) "what are the different types of dietary fats?" This was the number one hit: https://nutritionsource.hsph.harvard.edu/what-should-you-eat/fats-and-cholesterol/types-of-fat/

Written in plain English, found at a source I can trust, completely ad free, THIS provides exactly the information I was looking for without using an AI or wading through poor quality sponsored results.

Have you heard about #Reticulum? I only heard abt it yesterday. I barely slept in my excitement. A fully functional networking stack, interface agnostic, encrypted by design, and prevents origin tracking. The current is a hot mess!

Better yet, just try Columba, a user-friendly chat app built on top of Reticulum.

Today, I was helping someone to set up their new TV box (powered by Android TV, yay...) and mobile broadband router from the Swedish ISP called Tele2.

The 5G router is branded as a Huawei router, with the model number "5G CPE 5". However. The actual manufacturer is ZOWEE Technology (Heyuan) Co., Ltd.

To be able to use router, you're forced to accept a terms of service agreement.

The terms of service agreement includes these parts:

In order to effectively operate and improve the Services (including but not limited to fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation and customer support), we reserve the right to review your content at any time to verify compliance with this Agreement. If your content is found to be in violation of this Agreement, we have the right to modify and/or remove your content at any time without notice.

In plain words:

Validation, interpretation, updating, performance and dispute resolution of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

No GDPR jurisdiction? HELLO? We're in the EU!

Also. Let's not forget that Chinese law allows state access to corporate data under national security legislation.

And!

Let's not forget about what were missing here:

The only re,medy they gave you in the entire agreement was this sad part:

Your sole remedy is to stop using the Services

I'm honestly speechless.

Working toward running #microReticulum natively on the LilyGO T-Beam SUPREME (ESP32-S3 + SX1262).

Hardware exercises complete (GPS, OLED, SD) and basic LoRa ping-pong via RadioLib.

Next: implement a proper Reticulum LoRa interface layer for SX1262 on ESP32-S3 — binding microReticulum’s interface abstraction to SPI/DIO/TCXO for full RNS operation.
