Star Labs is a European company that sells laptops and two-in-one tablets with excellent Linux support. They don’t meet all the criteria you listed, but they’re good to mention

I don’t disagree with you, but sending and receiving emails requires transmission of unencrypted metadata. There’s no easy way around it

Proton’s privacy policies state that they retain unencrypted metadata (addresses, timestamps, etc.) which are required to provide the service. This information may be disclosed to law enforcement. However, the actual content in your account is largely end-to-end encrypted. Law enforcement might request it, but without the keys to decrypt it they won’t be able to read your data.

When I was in grad school, I had a Light Phone II as my primary device. It was more than sufficient for texting and calling, and I could even listen to podcasts. It had a GPS, but it was pretty bad. After graduation I moved to a new area and ended up getting an iPhone. I average around 3-5 hours of screen time per day, but that doesn’t include my computer (8 hours a day at work as a computer engineer) or TV. Eventually I would like to return to my Light Phone, or even upgrade to the new third-generation model.

If by “privacy settings” you mean controlling what system permissions the Home app has, you’re out of luck. It’s a semi-default app and may be more deeply embedded into iOS than is apparent.

If you’re trying to control what other apps have access to HomeKit data, you can find that in Privacy & Security.

It’s required by US law for organizations to collect this data on donors. It’s also to your own benefit, as most charitable donations are taxed deductible 

I’d argue this is nothing new. I recall coming across some truly horrendous stuff on LiveLeak, Reddit, and even YouTube when I was a child. Most of the time, I was not looking for it. The Internet is no place for the developing mind…

Anyone who read the thread will see that the OP pretty much dropped it after Nirav’s response. Framework is a tiny company without a PR machine for these occasions, and I doubt they knowingly sponsored a project based on the developers’ political ideologies. Let’s all take some deep breaths.

If you’re fortunate enough to live near a well-funded library, you can peruse their new arrivals section for CDs. That’s how I discover new artists

I’m hoping this takes off!

Do you plan to offer a browser extension for those who would enjoy the Fediverse integration but don’t want to run a custom fork?

I also experienced screen tearing on every Pebble unit I owned. If they fix this, I’ll absolutely buy a new one

But what does that have to do with consumer privacy?

I’m not sure why being a “privacy vendor” forbids you from using AI tools in your development process

The bill suggests that violations may be “discovered through content moderation conducted by a human or via a non-human method, including use of an algorithm, machine learning, or other means.” Automated snooping on people’s private correspondence should constitute unlawful search. Fuck that.

So the administration wants to win the AI race through deregulation, except they want to regulate its social compass. Make it make sense

The word you’re looking for is douchebag

Their point about the streets may actually be valid. I don’t know anything about the roads in China, but many European cities are notoriously hostile to automobiles.

Unfortunately, online gaming spaces seem to have always been a breeding ground for all kinds of toxic behavior

Yeah… I won’t even lie, I think at some point it’s for the best we hand the keys to society to the machines. Maybe not the current generation, but eventually 😂
