  • Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm

  • I suspect people disliked both of the approaches you suggested, or thought it was a false dilemma fallacy, but downvotes rarely come with explanations.

  • Contact your local MEP. Ask your local MP or Deputy or whatever you call them to push the relevant minister to oppose it. It's not great, but you do have a say.

  • Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones

  • Article rests on one expert. That assistant professor's publication list doesn't seem to contain evidence about it, plus the quotes in the article don't directly say it happens.

    Maybe it does, but that article only seems to be guessing based on (admittedly reasonable) theory.

  • Got proof? I've not cracked open a phone for a while to see if the component labelling matches the interface, let alone tested capacity of an extracted battery directly.

  • Why not serif body copy? (looks at most newspapers and books)

  • Some good observations and some software suggestions, but I don't think all of them are good. I hate Anubis when I'm using an assisted accessible browser (that it locks out, always saying a solution is coming but it never has, which I'm pretty sure is illegal discrimination in some situations) and they really ought not recommend Proton without mentioning its chief supporting Trump and helping French police track climate activists.

    Other tips, including Lemmy, are better.

  • Digital ownership? Games producers want to own players' fingers now? I guess that's slightly better than cutting their ears off.

  • De-googled phones exist, but they’re rooted or using a custom firmware. Usually, these phones spoof Google Play Services, replacing that layer with something called MicroG.

    So root and flash your phone today!

    That's just such an easy link to memorise, isn't it? Just like the New Emergency Number

  • infosec.pub appears to be in Hetzner Online GmbH's Falkenstein hosting. They probably also own the hardware.

  • For sure, I know this, but privacy does not come first for any of them and it was wrong of Proton ever to say it did. To them, their survival comes before yours, so they will betray you to the Swiss courts if needed.

  • Here you go: https://proton.me/mail

    Just scroll down. Each selling point is marked with title case text, followed by their reasoning.

    I don't find your earlier quote on that page anywhere.

    Can you find me a way back machine link to their website where they told you that they aren’t subject to or otherwise do not comply with Swiss law?

    Why would I do that? My claim is not that they ever said that explicitly, but that their marketing claimed 'your privacy came first' without any similar-size mention how it would be limited by Swiss law. It was not in their interest to explain that the Swiss courts can order them to track and shop French climate activists.

  • Run your own? Great, but you'll almost certainly be getting a company to connect it up.

    Publicly available from whom? Companies!

    I may sometimes wish community-owned internet became the norm, but it didn't, so companies are involved almost everywhere.

  • How do you even get a non-company-hosted server now? Public bodies don't host services for outsiders much any more and aren't really safe places for privacy in this type of case anyway.

  • Please show any Wayback Machine link for that quote on Proton's site. I can find 'your privacy comes first'. I didn't find 'up to the extent of Swiss law' yet.
