Google and Apple are playing iSpy with your little phone to see where you have been. If tech companies track you 24-hours a day and sell the data to advertisers, it's legal. If a person did the same thing, it would be called stalking. nrkbeta.no/2020/12/03/my-…

Remember, the "cloud" (free or paid) is just someone else's computer. The true owner (not you) can take it away at anytime, for any reason without recourse. businessinsider.com.au/google-users-l…
This looks very promising for the future of open hardware and mobile tech in particular. Precursor is not for normal users, but it will help users in the future by creating a community of devs who value freedom. crowdsupply.com/sutajio-kosagi…
Here is an example of why "open-source" licences (APL in this case) neither protects the user's or the developer's freedoms. Using the AGPL would preserve the freedoms of all users and developers if a cloud service provider forks the project.
Oh @awscloud I really do 💕 you! But next time you fork my OS project github.com/checkly/headle… and present it as your new service, give the maintainers a short "nice job, kids" or something. Not necessary as per the APLv2 license, but still, ya know? aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

What's happening this Saturday 19th September?.... That's right SFM is hosting Software Freedom Day!!! Free-Software is not just for programmers, but everyone in the community. See you there!
Exactly, the power imbalance between the watched (i.e. us, the public) and the watchers (big-tech) is overwhelming.
All legal issues aside, it makes no sense to expect users to assert "control of their privacy". A thread. (1/10)
