He's not listed on the team-section of the raspberry website, but he shows up as the resident maker in blog posts as late as Feb. 2024.

So for security reasons I'll just assume he's still there.

Fun fact, Raspberry Pi OS sends (or at least used to - I can't imagine they've toned it down) a unique ID to Raspberry Pi foundation that identifies your hardware.

You can't sign up to telegram with the FOSS version, you have to use the Play store.

Most of the online SMS receiving services seem to work, but people are burning new numbers within the hour to sign up to telegram. Sometimes within minutes.

You can use TON crypto to buy a username, but that requires identifying yourself at third party exchanges.

Just like "they" were free to harvest personal data unless the user was able to block it, I'm going to freely watch YouTube unless they're able to block me. Of course I'm going to feel bad if they manage to block me and that's going to incentivize me to find a different way of accessing YouTube until there's no paths left and then I'll simply stop using the platform.

Yes. I want full access to everything without paying a dime, no ads and no tracking.

I stopped using Brave for anything serious after diving into the data collection of Leo, the built-in, practically unstoppable webbrowser AI. It's appaling to me. I use Cromite at the moment.

Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition

I'm glad I don't have a US driving license then.

in the next few years Copilot will simply become a part of people’s lives

Only those who don't care about privacy and use Windows.

I wonder if it's possible to batch-edit the database to auto-change ownership...
