No. Absolutely no to the streaming services. If you’re into movies I recommend a plan for your local movie theatre, if they offer it. Or just visiting whenever something you like comes out.
Looking for deals is a great recommendation for most services though, big savings for Proton are possible there too.
e/OS also promises advanced location protection by spoofing a false geolocation. Reported to Murena that this is somehow bypassed by Here We Go maps but there seems no interest in fixing the issue.
Also, when they anounced last year they would add ChatGPT integration for their cloud services my complaint to them was answered with “well you don’t have to use it”
Murena is obviously not serious about privacy
This is the way
I see you know corporate math well
Nonsense, and their reasoning is bullshit as well. They still allow Grok and X on their App stores, Apps spreading CSAM, AI slop and false information.
Oh and the rigorous review system to keep Apps safe? Low paid kids that didn’t make it in the customer service department. 0 technical knowledge required, but reviewing code.
of course this is them cutting the fat, and yet a reduced presence in the streets is an improvement
good, fuck amazon. close whole foods next
Asahi Remix for VisionPro coming when?
That’s good to know, thanks
I’m sure you can find this information in selfosted or other more tech oriented communities. Usually the convenience comes at the cost of privacy. It’s up to you if you want to keep the microphones in your home to turn off the lights and set timers. I used to trust Apple more and had HomePods installed, but everything has been sold on and I bought egg timers for very cheap that work just as well. (Granted Siri was never very capable…)
Please do not buy Ring cameras, Amazons vast surveillance network is a privacy nightmare and is also regularly accessed by ICE and other law enforcement.
Eufy cameras can be used with a home base and stay offline, recording to the SD card in the base. Or if you’re into it, there are many self hosting options that give you much more control and options.
It would be great if people could stop using Meta services and software.
You’re not alone. Used to be the biggest Apple fan, worked there for nearly ten years until 2023.
Last year I made the cut, the new PC I bought was custom built and is running Linux. My MacBook Air is running Asahi Fedora Remix primarily and the iPhone was sold on. Disconnecting from iCloud was a pain, getting pictures off of their system took me three months but it was worth it. Self hosting my stuff now and 2026 is the year to switch my family and friends over as well.
Leaked new letter is already on jts way by carrier pigeon:
Dear Jonas,
The fact that Minneapolis—city of crooks—has been nominated for a peace prize is an outright insult. I won’t stand by while your nation glorifies a hub of corruption and crime.
I, the only leader who has ever stopped eight wars, now demand that the United States take total command of the entire Arctic, that the UN be dissolved, and that every flag on Greenland be replaced with my own. Denmark’s stupid claim is a joke; the world belongs to those who have the will to seize it.
My record speaks for itself: no one has ever delivered more for peace, security, and American greatness than I have. If you refuse to act, I will unleash a wave of decisive force that will be greater than anything you have ever seen. Believe me.
