@EUCommission Wondering how long before the #EU finally acknowledges the glaring security threats posed by #Meta, #X and #Google's data practices and shows them the door. These tech giants have repeatedly demonstrated they can't be trusted with our information, yet continue operating with minimal consequences. The EU needs to take decisive action - not just fines, but actual ejection from the European market.

Just liberated the video of one of my talks from YouTube and uploaded a copy to our Vimeo account:

Big Brother Awards 2014: We need an ethical approach to design

(Imagine what a different world we’d be living in today if folks in tech had heeded our warnings back then. But I guess they were too busy making mint.)

PS. yt-dlp is your friend (on Mac: brew install yt-dlp). Also make sure you have ffmpeg installed (brew install ffmpeg). Finally, I had to manually tell yt-dlp where to find ffmpeg although your mileage may vary based on installation method: yt-dlp "<URL>" --write-subs --ffmpeg-location=/opt/homebrew/bin/ffmpeg (--write-subs saves the subtitles if there are any to a file in a format you can use on the web).

Ein persönlicher Blick auf digitale Freiheit: Warum ich iOS nicht nutze und stattdessen auf das datenschutzfreundliche GrapheneOS vertraue. 👇

@kuketzblog
Kannst du dich für die Initiave Linux für Mobil erwärmen? Das heißt ja nicht, dass man jetzt Android nutzt und es gut nutzen kann.

Bei uns stapeln sich Hardware"spenden", die ich mich nicht mehr weitergeben kann, weil Android XY nicht mehr unterstützt wird und damit auch keine Graphenes oder Lineages.

Wegschmeißen oder reine Intranet-Displays, rumgebastel an größere Displays?
Smartphones sind als Fotodisplay oder Smarthomedisplay eher ungeeignet, vorallem nicht im dreistelligen Bereich.

Ein 2nd Life würde mit Linux immer gehen.
Hat sonst jemand Ideen für 5"-6"-WLANfähige Geräte mit 80%-Restkapazität Top-Akkus?
