The solution is simple: Do not trust governments nor corporations. Encrypt locally before uploading it anywhere, or simply don't upload at all.

Running a @gog.com Library on Linux wasn't a big issue with clients like Minigalaxy, but I look so forward to having Galaxy for Linux. I like my achievements! Also, I will never have to touch a Windows installation again. That OS is unsalvageable. www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/gog-...

GOG confirm they are working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux

GOG previously said they planned to look closer at Linux, and that it was the next major frontier - and they're now working towards GOG Galaxy on Linux.

Don't solve the problem at the predators, just monitor everyone without a clear suspect. #ChatControl @eppgroup.bsky.social are morons of the highest order, and subverted agents if I am forgiving. Also, LOOK AT THOSE CORPORATE PARTNERS FROM THEIR SOURCE LMAO: missingkids.org/supportus/ou...

Good call from the European Peeping Party @eppgroup.bsky.social! Let's name it for what it is: - Reading someone's mail like disgusting Stasi pigs - Spying without prior cause - Violating GDPR - Guilty until proven innocent - Protecting big tech shareholder value - Wanna have some EU user data?

Microsoft should exit the gaming industry and preferably my plane of existence. If BDS was not enough to convince sideliners, what MS did to id is unforgivable. Perhaps the most important western gaming studio in existence - a historied house of culture and art with genre defining talent.

Very cool project to turn a GrapheneOS phone into a laptop. I've been toying around with a setup like this as well, only with a dedicated monitor instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxX4...

Remember the faces of the @eppgroup.bsky.social in your local elections. These are the so called "representatives" that voted to put EVERYONE under the radar with the assumption of "guilty until proven innocent". Everyone in the EPP should loose their seat immediately just for the suggestion.

Hey Fidias Panayiotou, perhaps you can file a motion that instead of trying to ban the ESN we can instead pivot to @eppgroup.bsky.social and adjacent EU "representative lawmakers" for: - not representing citizens - violating the presumption of innocence - SELLING EU DATA TO FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS

@president.europarl.europa.eu Roberta Metsola and @eppgroup.bsky.social, just like @ylvajohansson.se, are handing sovereign EU data to foreign big tech companies and intelligence services. You won't get child safety, but more ads! Re-read this article: balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/w...

Diese Personen haben für die #ChatKontrolle und gegen die Unschuldsvermutung gestimmt. Zum Schutz des Grundgesetz muss jedem sofort das Amt entzogen werden.

"We will keep voting until we get the correct result" @eppgroup.bsky.social and Roberta Metsola are morons and traitors sponsored by foreign powers to directly hand EU data to big tech, and of course they will scan those messages to insert ads. EPP must not be allowed to exist anymore!

My timeline is full of dimwitted posts like "resist UK taking over Youtube algorithm", or "US platforms are free bc they refuse EU mandates". If you hand over your feed to a centralized entity/algorithm, then IT'S NOT YOUR FEED and that will be abused either way!

The @eppgroup.bsky.social are useful idiots for big tech lobbyists, state-sponsored actors and intelligence services to undermine #European sovereignty. Once a backdoor is in, anyone clever enough can walk through it. You would not allow this in your banking app, why allow it anywhere else?
