@emilyyoung the idea to fact check with sources that were never meant to contain and serve facts is bad in general. Like searching Tiktok or asking your taxi driver. Sure, the info you get *might* be good, but you shouldn't rely on it.

Just switched to Tuta (email and calendar) and I have to say the process was very smooth! I have custom domains, thousands of emails, and a busy calendar - but standard migration tools (mbox, eml, ics) worked as they were intended to, and I was up and running in no time! Which, as we all know, would *not* be the case with most olitech providers.

10/10 would recommend. Good apps, too.

@Tutanota

The privacy ad that was banned in the UK.

The UK has never had judicial freedom of expression, but they used to have it in practice.

@SteanSlh looks interesting!

@GossiTheDog Also: Don't visit Dubai.

Would you be surprised to find out that the facebook "smart" glasses have been outsourcing the video for review and processing to Nairobi?

Wealthy people once lived with vast staffs who cooked and cleaned for them, and who often knew intimate details of the lives of the powerful.

Now we have found a way for the rich to outsource ... thinking. Off-load mental work to minds half way around the world. We are suppose to pretend AI is doing this work.

@occult What computing is in 2026

TIL you can help #OpenStreetMap while you are walking around.

No more wandering aimlessly around. Now every step is a big f you to surveillance capitalism.

At least if you have an Android phone.

Small tasks and questions to keep the map updated.

Be the change.

@ylv_a hvor er det?

What we want: more transparency of corporations.

What we get: more surveilance of private individuals.

@DonChacale @JulianOliver not inherently, but email and/or chat is one of those things no-one can live without. And journalist is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and their enemies would rather kill them before they publish. When the USA is turning in to a corrupt bully state, like Russia, it absolutely matters who gets data, and when.

@JulianOliver @DonChacale they traced and gave away IPs? In that case, Proton isn't safe even for journalists. Are there even any zero-trust (or close enough to it) providers left?

@matt this toot gave me FOMO *and* made me hungry... and have never felt this Nordic 😅

@cwebber I'm soo looking forward to the day Musky says "screw you all, I'm vibing *everything*" and proceeds to prompt AI: "Refactor the whole code base. Don't waste time on version control or backups."

Ah it will be glorious 🌞

@rbreich USA? A corrupt country in every way since forever? Wow, I would never have thought...

@cisene This is my hack for the past 10 years. I do it for lunch as well. Every now and then, someone asks if I am available anyway, but usually people just look at the availability-thingy and choose another time.
