@dansup still wondering: is that Hamburg in Germany?

@dansup Can't wait!!!

@_elena haha. it's always that one setting or the extra 30minutes to let DNS do its work

@_elena @ele Legend.

@_elena @PixelFed @dansup uuh exciting, Elena! looking forward!

@dansup

@dansup Android is live 🥳

@dansup tough to choose! I love the melancholy of Fyrsta and the development of Lag Fyrir Ömmu.

@dansup oh, this is THE BEST album ever made. Thanks for the reminder!

@dansup when you want to start easy into 2025 but the US is banning TikTok and Zuckerberg is killing Instagram so you need to quickly push out the best open source alternatives on the planet

@dansup tl;dr: MAGA

@dansup 🤦

@_elena 01.01.1970 is an excellent fake birthday 😁

@_elena ah, mixed up copilot with recall. my bad! 🤦

I'm looking for cool vendors of Linux hardware (laptops and tablets). I have @starlabssystems, @frameworkcomputer, @tuxedocomputers and @nitrokey on my list.

Do you know anyone else?
If you bought from them, how is your experience with your product?

@_elena Copilot is still beta and in testing so things can change. Differences come with GDPR its user rights (transparency, consent, the purpose limitation). Latest update introduces encryption for all data collected and several options to prevent copilot from gathering data.

But of course there is a smell of backdoors in the air and the wonderful opportunity to revisit your past activities without real-time access for all villains out there. MS did not good this year in terms of privacy.

@_elena in that age he probably has zero fucks left. And I can imagine it's a helpful feature to elderly people to not have to remember everything.

You could try to argue with what every one else is using to undermine privacy: child protection. Images for his grandchildren being captured, private conversation, etc. Not really being able to understand what happens with the data as it's closed source.

But it's a tough job to educate grownups.

@_elena do it anyway. It's worth it.
