I've seen lots of posts and opinions recently about how email is broken, mainly due to (I think) the rise of Hey.

Here are my thoughts...

Day 59 of the #100DaysToOffload Series:

I didn't have the time I wanted to really put this through it's paces today, so I wrote up a really quick less than 300 words opinion of UbuntuDDE.

Overall, would certainly recommend @Tutanota as a privacy-respecting, reasonably priced alternative to the likes of Gmail, and could see it going great places usability-wise. Some gripes but nothing to make me regret the move so far.

If #Google knew everything about you, they would’ve stopped listening to everything you say.

Look no further than your #email system for today’s #surveillancesaturday.

If you know that your #GMail & others are data-mined, is it entirely “on them” that your #privacy is undermined?

Be an active participant in your goal to remain private.

Avoid #surveillancecapitalism by choosing to make (sometimes difficult) decisions. Give your money to better companies with products that respect you more.

I really like the toot feed I get from people I follow. I also like the instance feed. The global feed not that much since it's chaos 😀 I like that you can simply block an annoying bot/reposter-maniac and continue enyoing the content. Don't remember being on a such well self-curated platform ever. Also people are nice and helpful no matter what topic discussed. Kudos to all of you making it a welcome place! 👋

Get your IT business out of the US. This needs to have an impact on the economy.

German court stops Facebook's data collection mania, which is a direct attack on Facebook's business model of harvesting everyone's data. 💪

The command 'tldr' as a replacement for 'man' is a nice one. Too often I'm too lazy to read a whole man page. 😀

People with the wrong intent will always find ways to get around anti-encryption laws, and there are many forms of communication that would be impossible to police. Memespeech for example, is a supposedly censor-proof method of encryption which hides messages inside normal passages of free speech by adjusting the letter formatting.

@yarmo yep, I call it “Windows loneliness syndrome”.

If you don’t use Windows 10 as your daily driver, then every time you switch it on it will *demand* updates and install them regardless of your feelings on the matter.

If you switch it off after a big update instead of letting it finish on a subsequent restart, it struggles to even get out of bed for you.

The only reasonable treatment is to download updates manually then restart the machine a couple of times before every use.

#Privacy and #rights groups have been alerting us to #police overreach regarding mobile phone extraction for some time (https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/2020/06/bbc-victims-of-no-other-crime-are-expected-to-surrender-their-digital-lives-to-such-speculation-and-scrutiny).

Importantly, the issue didn't go unnoticed by the #ICO, who carried out their own investigation in 2018.

Now they've published their #report: https://ico.org.uk/media/about-the-ico/documents/2617838/ico-report-on-mpe-in-england-and-wales-v1_1.pdf

@glc You will find like-minded people on some other instances - conncected to yours - also. :) I think if openBSD instance is connected to your instance you will find pretty decent people here. Oh, and welcome to the Fediverse, have a nice stay.
