Facebook is doing research in AI & #endtoend encrypted messages, to analyze & target ads on them.

How an AI can determine you are trying to buy designer shoes, but your private discussion about health or politics won't leak?

We have no clue either.

…I’m seeing people say “just don’t use an iPhone.” It’s not that simple when everyday things like financial apps with two-factor authentication are locked into the two main platforms.

We need legislation to ensure critical services use open standards so you can use your Pinephone to buy lunch in the future.

It’s shocking how easily some folks jump to “just go live in a cave.” No, that’s not an acceptable alternative. We deserve to partake in modern life without sacrificing our human rights…

I was really impressed by the accuracy of some of the report's predictions about fossil fuel consumption. Then I realized, oh, right, of course.

Apple is trying to redefine what it means to violate your privacy. We must not let it.

My whole childhood, my whole young adulthood, this was my absolute favourite place in the world.

It was an incubator for engineering, electronics, art, and so much more. The hole left behind with its closure has yet to be filled. We need places like this again.

This is only true because the Chrome team in particular has decided to make it true. Old websites used to work until you decided it was okay to repeatedly break things that worked for a decade because you think everything can be rewritten or abandoned like a Google product

DRM, EULAs and monopoly - three reasons that a tech company can make you totally dependent on its service and then cut you off without explanation or appeal, bricking your thermostat, confiscating your audiobooks, and stealing a decade's worth of photos. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/08/utilities-governed-empires

Just some screenshots of Mousai a app to identify songs running on the #Pinephone

In March 2020, when many across the world switched to online gatherings, Zoom was slapped with a class-action lawsuit for falsely representing its 'end-to-end encryption' protections at the time. Now, it has settled the lawsuit for $86m.

We're still looking for the right person! Do you know anyone?

The industry's current approach to cybersecurity is to ban running non-preapproved EXE files from non-preapproved locations.

This is completely giving up on the idea of a computer as a thing that runs software created by the user. It is also an admission of complete defeat of the idea of an Operating System as a trusted guardian of security (because otherwise it would be safe to run EXEs).

It is likely that this won't be the last of user rights to go. Once gone, they will be hard to get back.

With the final #PinePhone keyboard prototype now undergoing testing, we want to know, will you be grabbing one at launch?
