@TutaPrivacy Talking about switching to privacy focused things then including DuckDuckGo (and actively writing in your article about how it isn't fully private) is wild.

I don’t envy those thousands of IT staffs who may need to manually fix thousands of Windows desktops today. Manually. In person. One desktop after another. You can’t fix that with blockchain, AI, or quantum computers.

Global Windows outage hits computers around the world. This is linked to Crowdstrike update that cripples boot process. There are some workarounds. Do you think it may be fixed automatically, somehow? Oh well ... https://t.co/tLfiqhP96k

Without a significant financial incentive to do better, Google has no reason to change.

“Google has accidentally collected childrens’ voice data, leaked the trips and home addresses of car pool users, and made YouTube recommendations based on users’ deleted watch history, among thousands of other employee-reported privacy incidents.”

In current discussions surrounding WhatsApp, security often gets conflated with privacy.

❓ Is WhatsApp secure? Possibly. (It isn’t open source, and there are no external audits.)

❌ Is it a privacy-respecting service? Absolutely not: https://t.co/Yo6fKzumHv

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.
