For everyone not happy with news relating to Google, Android, and Huawei...
I'm just going to leave this right here...
@jwinnie@mastodon.cloud @Valium@mastodon.at @purism the Tesla comparison is not wrong. First build it (expensive). Then target mass market (less expensive).
Currently, I'd say half the price is invested in development and freedom.
Wenn Ranga Yogeshwar in diesem Video aufzählt, was #Google alles über uns weiß, könnte man die Aufzählung noch lange fortsetzen.

Wer weiß schon, dass Google global die meisten #DNS-Auflösungen bearbeitet und dadurch fast immer weiß, wer welche Website besucht – auch ohne #Tracker wie #GoogleAnalytics?
Darum habe ich dieses Pad gestartet – um Alternativen zu Google-Diensten zusammenzutragen: https://pad.foebud.org/google-alternatives
@Digitalcourage exzellente Entscheidung des Gerichts. Hat mich auch immer gestört.
Der Wahl-O-Mat darf nicht mehr betrieben werden (siehe: https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Verwaltungsgericht-stoppt-Wahl-O-Mat-4426878.html) Aber unser Digital-O-Mat, der ist noch voll aktiv: https://ep2019.digital-o-mat.de/ #europawahl2019
Three conclusions to draw from #Google denying #Huawei access to software & the importance #FreeSoftware has for technology users, public bodies, and businesses alike: https://fsfe.org/news/2019/news-20190520-01.html
A quick rundown on the contributions Purism made that are included in Linux kernel 5.1.
Includes significant hardware support for the upcoming Librem 5 smartphone.
@lunduke any chance you get in contact with Jupiter Broadcasting about their Linux Unplugged #299 episode about librem.one? It's amazing how many things they got wrong even though the information is publicly available.

It is so confusing when people spread FUD about a company that wants to further exactly the cause that they all are behind, being more critic of every single step than they ever were of any step surveillance capitalism has taken.
I tried to defuse some of more stupid accusations, but outrage always spreads faster and wider than any rectification ever will. 🙄
@toxomat @danielst @dungeonhack @purism Thank you so much 💖 !
Please spread the word, we really need help to make Mobilizon known outside our French-FLOSS-supporters bubble ;).
@Alter For many more Google alternatives, see https://pad.foebud.org/google-alternatives

@toxomat @dungeonhack @purism @Framasoft
Indeed. Still, take a look. Purism could use this:

@dungeonhack @toxomat @purism
A campaign by @Framasoft framascurrenly aims to make such a feature.
But I think awareness of alternatives and growth are more important than single features.
Folks, for years: We have a problem called Surveillance Capitalism, it’s a systemic problem arising from socio-economic factors…
Ex-Googler: Hmm, this problem, very exotic… what shall I call it without criticising either surveillance or capitalism? Time well spent?
Folks: SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM! It’s the feedback loop between accumulation of information (surveillance) and accumulation of wealth (capitalism)
Ex-Googler: …human downgrading?
