Are you naive enough to believe the surveillance OS that uploads literally all of your activity along with screenshots of your desktop doesn’t automatically upload you keys no matter what little box you tick on the installer?? 😂 there is absolutely not one single 3rd party auditing that they actually follow any of the options at all that they give.

That is simply not true.

Here in the EU we have chat control trying to be forced through every year for mass surveillance and targeting like Spain targeting catalan independence movements.

Palantir is starting to expand into the EU and american fash-tech companies have been lobbying hard and giving money to fascist parties across the EU. Musk gave unprescidented money of AfD fascists, for example.

UK has been getting more and more fascist for years, they have had mass surveillance for years and have been arresting people for simply attending zoom meetings supporting a country being killed off en-masse. Palantir literally just landed a £240 million deal with the UK government

We don’t have an ICE problem yet. Neither did america 10 years ago. It is being pushed HARD here to create an ICE problem.

Mariadb got bought by a private equity strip miner company late 2024, so it will probably be mined for every enshittification possible before thrown on the garbage heap like every company private equity has acquired before it.

(It always takes a few years of inefficient planning before private equity starts rolling out enshittification)

C3 complete series is just the best around. But now that’s gone away and I don’t know which of the Guard series replaces it.

Boost CX1 is mediocre but good for a bag-less.

I mean, immich is still awesome and as far as anyone can tell, nothing has changed.

Giving money to immich isn’t giving money to FUTO as far as anyone can tell.

The immich developer also probably didn’t have the resources to do a deep dive into FUTO before being sponsored, so they likely didn’t know.

I also use immich and I will continue to do so, but it is just something to keep in mind.

I got told off a while ago when immich got funding when I said that FUTO seems quite fishy and I didn’t believe that there were no strings attached with immich. Everyone said “oh they are just a great open source grant org” when I questioned where their money came from.

I feel a bit vindicated they they are just another tech bro’s philanthropic project with a habit of supporting and platforming fascists.

It is worth it to note that SMS should not be used for any personal communication. Literally every message you send is stored by the carrier and handed over to anyone that pays them including LEOs, who in the past have used them to incriminate innocent people, and if you live in america, they will use them to justify shooting you apparently…

Not to mention anyone in the area can intercept all messages with some cheap equipment.

Dumb phones are such a draw compared to stupid smart phones, but they don’t have any secure messaging (at least the ones I have looked at)

I moved all my projects from github over to codeberg. It was a seamless transition except for having to modify some links in the readme and a submodule, but issues moved over OK as well.
