That’s a bit unfair. Postmarket is super cool and I can’t wait to get a Linux phone. But let’s not pretend it’s ready to be daily driven. Even on the best supported phones there are still hardware driver compatibility issues. And that’s not even speaking about the software catalog. Even in the privacy community, a lot of people regard banking apps as mandatory. Good luck ever getting those to run there.
IMO, you either have to be an unrelenting idealist or a corporatist scumlord to go into politics. Guess which ones get enough funding to advance their careers…
Isn’t Red Hat downstream from Fedora? But I guess it doesn’t lessen IBM’s influence.

He’s a genocide and corporatism enabler. What did people expect?
Just saw a report yesterday that systemd will implement age verification, meaning it might not be up to the distros.
Well good luck ever owning a pc then. AMD and Intel have massive investments over there as well.
So like Ukraine?
In doing so, the Parliament firmly rejected the error-prone and unconstitutional surveillance practices of recent years.
Good news. However shouldn’t that also include online age verification?
I really don’t like how the “protect the children” excuse every neo fascist government is touting to sell their wet dreams of tracking everyone 24/7, still gets debated like it has any validity. Kudos to Japan for having seemingly working child protection laws, but this just doesn’t have any relevance to the surveillance machine that’s currently being built around us. It’s coming even if every child disappeared today. I’d rather see more active discussions around what the next steps are, alternatives to the current web and guides how to set them up for example.

What are you on about? If they get 95% of the population with this it’s still a huge win for them.
“I had expected there would be much more of a watchful expectancy of the results of the Australian ban before governments would be jumping in quite as quickly,” she told DW. “We don’t know what the effects of the ban are going to be and we need to evaluate this carefully. Governments need to be careful to avoid thinking that social media bans are a silver bullet to this problem.”
Almost as if there are ulterior motives…
They responded to it when it first came up 4 months ago. I’ll paste my appropriate comment from that time.
The f-droid team spoke to that in a recent post. The post basically said that if that change isn’t stopped on a government level there’s no way for them to continue working. They didn’t mention roms.

I’m not worried. Either it’ll only affect their dedicated servers. Or it’ll be integrated into mastodon itself and then quickly forked.
Beiträge zur gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung sind de facto Steuern. Ich muss sie zahlen und bemessen sich an meinen Einnahmen.
And stop going to the doctor when you’re sick. That’s not what the taxes are for.
Thanks for the help and advice. What was the issue with your meshtastic experiment? If it’s location granularity that’s something I might be prepared to deal with.
My privacy expectations are as follows:
Thanks for the explanation and advice. I’ll get a beeper while I’ll get into meshtastic and can get tracking working that way.
You would think so. However, they already have to pay rent and utilities on huge office buildings while all major cities have housing issues. Yet I still have to show up for work in the office. It boggles the mind.
