The No Dissent section was interesting, as they seem to have stuck to a script with no meaningful discussion. And the extended funding for blockchain surveillance is telling, as the government doesn’t want you to have any financial privacy, or…
This is a pretty underhanded move by Ubuntu. I’ve long dropped Ubuntu and its derivatives, as Canonical is a trash company from installing telemetry which at one point was difficult to remove, to making important software Snap packages by default…
This kind of reminds me of the approach in the US of doing state by state age verification laws, as France is a member of the EU, all to make everything such a pain, a US and EU digital ID…
I use Mullvad VPN and have been quite happy with the service and what they stand for, and they’ve been quite vocal in defense of privacy and opposing the digital ID agendas being put forth in the UK and EU.…
(Headline article below) In the past I’ve just bought cheap Motorola smartphones from my prepaid MVNO Boost Mobile, with my last phone being a Motorola Moto G Stylus 2023 for $19 (was locked to carrier for two years). But Boost…

I’ve already covered SignalTrace, or signal tracking which is much worse than Flock ALPR cameras and their ilk, but this article is a good overview with a couple interesting tidbits on how Bluetooth 6 and WiFi 7 can locate exactly…
This was my fear, Flock takes the heat and ends up replaced by another megacorp which the municipality tries to hide or spin. And the feds are offering up the money for these systems, so what happens if the feds…
Some details and possibly a couple processes you can kill to maybe stop it. My recommendation is to just not run software from Microsoft. I have a post with an article on how Microsoft tracking you like a dog has…
Anything with the UAE is of interest, as the country of the coming Antichrist, and seven heads of the Beast in Revelation, and also home to the Abrahamic Family House. And the UAE has left OPEC and ramping up oil…
This is interesting for all the people saying that X11 is dead. I personally run XLibre on my machines and will not ever move to agentic AI hook Wayland. But writing this in assembly can make it incredibly more efficient…
Coinbase is a trash company and has been an altcoin scam company as well, actually betraying their users, charging too much, bending over backwards for regulators… But if you needed another reason to avoid this company, here you go. And…
