I'm surprised that many people just seem to realize that the golden cage by #Apple is actually a golden cage!

    The internet was initially designed to be fault tolerant and resilient. Even if one route was down, a package should be able to find another way to it's destination, that's what it was designed for. And it worked, because the internet is decentral.With the advent of the cloud, everything should have become even more reliable. No more outages, because it's in the the cloud and cloud is always better than on prem.Well, this morning I figured out that some of our communication platforms were not working as expected. Also some other SAAS solutions we are using had issues. And now it turns out that there is a global outage of AWS.Can it really be a good option, when everything in the world relies on a handful of central cloud service providers? I doubt it...But this gives us a first taste of what happens, when we only rely on a few central providers or providers all based in one country.https://www.heise.de/en/news/Amazon-Web-Services-Global-Outage-10779040.html#cloud #aws #outage

    Here we go! Big Tech’s cozy relationship with the #Trump regime has now reached everyone’s inboxes. #Google turned over Gmail data to #ICE without the students permission or knowledge. Simply because they used their free mail service. https://theintercept.com/2025/09/16/google-facebook-subpoena-ice-students-gaza/

    @blogThis is a central problem of what makes societies: where do we put trust ? In a capitalist world we are pushed all the way to not trust each other but only the State and companies, not because we want to, but because we have to. It's only in this world that trusting Google is the best thing to do to prevent malware.Which is why we absolutely need to build another system where we have collective circles of trust. No need to wait for the Revolution to happen, we have already started it: our Fediverse instances are bundles of trust, oftentimes not for profit, where we can ask each other questions and support each other. This is, to me, the model where we need to go: those-who-know must take some time to show those-who-don't around, teach them how to actually use a smartphone, install F-Droid and then trust them with everything that's on F-Droid, ....To me the pragmatic (I hate that word) approach is to build mutual aid communities, bring back the human touch. Yes, sideloading is full of malwares, but the solution is to turn to your local geek groups. LUGs used to do that, they should be forwarded all the way to the 21st century where the main device is a smartphone@Gargron
