Removing the Modem and GPS from my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid

Modern cars are computers on wheels that send home nonstop telemetry about you. In this post I remove my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid's modem and GPS to prevent that :)

Happy May Day! Hyvää vappua! 🎈

Today, we celebrate our incredible team, partners, and community. The Jolla team kick-started the May Day celebrations in the office by enjoying some traditional Finnish mead and doughnuts.

We also checked out the students' May Day celebrations in Tampere, and handed out patches to spread the word about our flagship product the Jolla Phone and the Digital Independence citizens’ initiative, which Jolla proudly supports.

We wish everyone a joyful and well-deserved day of celebration!

The US Patent Office have rejected a Nintendo Pokemon patent for summoning subcharacters

While it likely won't affect the ongoing Japan lawsuit between Nintendo / Pokemon and Pocketpair / Palworld, it is at least good news for game devs elsewhere.

If you somehow still considered uploading your face/ID to Discord, here's one more reason not to: Peter Thiel seems to be the lead investor in the service that implements the age check. And, oh, the service page says they will store our data on their side (at least for a little while).

Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel

Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.
