  • You can and it is also done as in any fraudulent contract. This is independent if it is FOSS or not. Do you trust FOSS made by Google or M$ (a huge part of the catalogue) respect privacy? They aren’t private, but they especific in their Tos exactly what they do with your data, not their fault if you don’t read it. Same with FOSS which use APIs from these data hogs (also a lot). FOSS is more secure and private as proprietary is often correct, but you have to take it with a grain of salt, it’s not a synonym and also often wrong.




  • I always recieve negative votes, posting that it is absoluye wrong to think that OpenSource is synonym of privacy and security. There a lot of people wich confuse it. OpenSource is very important in a free internet and for developing new software, but for the user is way more important the intentions of the dev, the ethics and PP of the product. That it has an active community and devs, absolte risky to use outdated and abandoned FOSS.

    OpenSource is preferable whenever possible, but as in anything else, fanaticism is harmful when a good proprietary soft offers a better solution

    Yes, OpenSource permits to see the Source, but this is only interesting for devs, but not for an user normal whose programming skills no reach even to Hello World level, less in complex app with thousends of lines and extern references.

    The most important for a normal user, read well TOS and PP, because they are legal documents and mandatory for both parties and that they are up to date, regardless of whether it is (F)OSS or Proprietary.





  • I usually respond to the phrase “I’ve nothing to hide” with the request to then provide me with the checking account number, the medical history, to let me read the email and chats, to tell me when you are going to be on vacation and the home. empty… these are exactly the things that these pages collect to sell. We don’t allow it in real life either, let alone online.

    Surveillance advertising is a crime, period.

    Not only make more sense, it avoid errors. Imperial system don’t even make difference between mass and weight. Some confusion in the imperial system has already cost NASA several space probes. Imperial units are non linear and aleatoric values without any sense, using the measures of bodyparts of an King in the past, obsolete in science, mathematic and architecture. Used in Airlines and nautics, almost by tradition

    Although I know some German cabaret artists, I didn’t know this one. Here in Spain we have others. Chile 9/11 is widely known in Spanish speaking countries and mentioned shortly after US 9/11 in different publications.

    Never forget this terrible 9/11 with 3000 victims… in Chile 1973 U.S.-backed coup against leftist President Salvador Allende, democratic elected, to create an bloody dictatorship with the US friendly Pinochet. Never forget.
