data collection is getting out of hand with McDonalds collecting over 500 pages of data on customers and Amazon profiling making some creepy assertions. Also, Meta Muse wants access to everything and some people are OK with this.

@rumblevideo For the last two weeks my stream keys have not worked and my audience that prefers Rumble had to suffer with other platforms. I sent an email to your support. Please get back to me so my Rumble audience can watch my shows again. Thanks!

Data collection is getting out of control as McDonalds collects 515 pages of data on customers while Amazon data AI is crazy. We also look at problems with handing everything over to AI and look at freezers hacked and spoiled food.

[Smartphones sans Google (GAFAM) @Sans_Google]

LineageOS 24.0 (based on Android 17) is now available.

LineageOS is a free, open-source alternative to stock Android. It lets you use your phone without Google services pre-installed, and the project is about to turn 10.

This new version brings:

🔹Latest security updates
🔹A new built-in photo editor
🔹Faster system updates
🔹An easier way to install it on some phones directly from your browser
🔹Support for both recent and older devices

It’s a practical option if you want more control over your phone and prefer to avoid the default Google experience.

Are you already on LineageOS, or still thinking about switching?

[It's FOSS @Itsfoss]

Let it die... let decades old, community developed open source software die for a clone that probably won't even exist in six months of time?
