Smartphones shouldn’t feel like pocket surveillance gear.

Jolla’s 2026 phone ships with:
- A physical kill switch that cuts mic/camera/Bluetooth at the circuit level
- Sailfish OS 5 (Linux‑based, open, privacy‑respecting)
- User‑replaceable battery + repair‑friendly design

Mit Gegenzöllen tun wir uns übrigens nur selber weh. Wir sollten lieber Cory Doctorow zuhören und das Antiumgehungsgesetz (und vergleichbare Gesetze) abschaffen.
Das sagt zwar kaum jemandem noch was, ist aber verantwortlich dafür, dass Technik immer schlechter wird und besonders US-Konzerne davon profitieren. Eingeführt wurde es u.a. weil die USA drohten, sonst Zölle einzuführen. Und wenn sie das eh schon machen, hat der Tiger ja seinen Zahn verloren.

Damit würden wir gleich 4 Fliegen mit einer Klappe schlagen:
1) Angemessene Reaktion auf Trump ohne einen Zollstreit zu riskieren.
2) Keine höheren Preise bei uns durch Gegenzölle.
3) Förderung der heimischen Wirtschaft und Deregulierung an einer sehr sinnvollen Stelle.
4) Maßgebliche Verbesserung unserer Technikgestaltung.

Jeg synes det er bra at denne typen teknologi får oppmerksomhet, selv om jeg tror at den konkrete kinesiske interessen for norsk lokaltrafikk og sannsynligheten for den typen konflikt er liten.

Har vi fått gjort tilsvarende kontroll av faktisk forsvarsmateriell? Vet vi at vi fortsatt kan bruke f.eks F-35 hvis Trump er uenig?

IMO burde myndighetene ha generelle krav om kildekode og #RightToRepair for å sikre teknologisk suverenitet.

When a company announces End of Life (EOL) of a product, there should be a law or regulation that demands that latest at the day of the EOL all service manuals are made available for free to at least the owners of said product, better though to the general public.

Bose is open-sourcing its old smart speakers instead of bricking them | The Verge

｢ Users will still be able to stream music to SoundTouch speakers with Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Spotify Connect (plus physical AUX connections). Remote control features and grouping speakers will also continue to work, and users will still be able to set up and configure their SoundTouch speakers ｣

#introduction

I co-own a software studio, @tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into #encryption and want to help. We plan to make it #opensource, and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about #climate , #TechEthics (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. #FuckCars. Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in #SmallWeb, #RightToRepair and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes #scifi ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for #sękacz / #Baumkuchen, and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, #solarpunk dreamers, #urbanism folks, #IndieWeb people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

Do say hello! 👋
