"""My phone spends four to five seconds trying to tell Google about incoming calls, then raises a notification about its failure, resulting from my failure to configure it correctly, and only then does it activate the ringtone."""

Haha. I thought I was the only one. Yeah, you literally have to break your android phone to keep it from spying on your every move. And you *will* lose calls.

The CIA has been operating a mass surveillance program on U.S. persons with few if any measures of oversight and accountability. We must learn the extent of the damage and shut it down. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/02/we-need-answers-about-cias-mass-surveillance

⚠️ ICYMI: Open letter calls for proprietary messaging platform #Telegram to start protecting #privacy and #rights of #activists:

"[The CEO] needs to put his money where his mouth is, and invest in #humanRights across the board. For too long, the company has been resting on its reputation, rather than proactively working to improve technical and practical measures that will keep some of the world's most at-risk people's communication secure."

Wow, lots of Windows techs on Facebook these days. Point out any of the major, fundamental failings of any Microsoft software these days, and these guys (bots perhaps?) jump all over you. I guess they think that if people start believing what people like me are telling them, then the Microsoft gravy train (on whose margins these guys are eking out an existence) might scream to a stop. The world would certainly be better off for it, even if these poor sods wouldn't be able to adapt fast enough.

Uber is (still) a bezzle ("the magic interval when a confidence trickster knows he has the money he has appropriated but the victim does not yet understand that he has lost it"). And every bezzle - *every* bezzle - ends.

Uber entered the market with an absurd proposition, which they papered over with an *idiotic* narrative...which the world ate up with a spoon.

So the main reason I wrote the Visual Voicemail App for mainline linux phones is because my mother leave voicemails if she can't get a hold of me to check up on me and gets worried if I don't call her back.

I'm glad to share that my mom can still do that since I switched to a #librem5

(and yes, I did call her back both times!)

Wow, Mozilla haven't just jumped the shark as a privacy-focused organisation, they've gone back for a second jump too
