@olifantenbaer @roman78 @admin Ich sehe das anders:

Effektiv habt ihr damit keine Kontrolle über die IT!

  • Je schneller Organisationen diese #UnbequemeWahrheit akzeptieren, umso eher werden diese entsprechend reagieren können und Druck auf Zulieferer und Hersteller ausüben können um dies zu ändern!!

Wer Post-#PRISM & Post-#CliudAct immerboch #GAFAMs und deren #CCSS oder #SaaS nutzt und nicht aktiv dabei ist wegzumigrieren hat es aufgegeben, die eigene #IT zu leiten!!!

Diputados piden cuentas por riesgo en pago de licencias para cuidar enfermos

La fracción del Frente Amplio (FA) solicitó explicaciones al Fondo de Desarrollo Social y Asignaciones Familiares (Fodesaf) por el retraso en la transferencia de fondos a la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS) para el pago de licencias a personas asalariadas que cuidan a familiares en etapa terminal o a menores de edad con enfermedades […]

@kobilacroix also #OpenSource is used as a means to identify espionage and manipulation attempts and enable quicjer fixing if security issues.

In fact, #OpenBSD's security is based upon #openness, #transparency and #KISSprinciple'd design.

  • Not to mention #Monero is really frustrating the U.S. Govt. (espechally IRS) because it is #FLOSS and with basically billions in value locked in, every cryptographer of every major state and non-state actor is trying to exploit it.

That's the strenght of #FOSS:

  • With every commit and every line if cide beibg public, noone can get away with #Govware-#Backdoors ob most stuff as they do constantly with #CCSS!

Cuz you can be shure everytime someone from NSA, CIA, GAFAMs, Huawei, etc. even commits a single line to linux or requests a merge there are countless people literally waiting to find a reason to say no and evidence it's a #backdoor of some kind.

[#TLDR: JUST TELL ME IF YOUR TABLET CAN DO #CALLS!]

#DearVendors of #Android-#Tablets:

Off all the #Functions you can put into a #Specifications Sheet of your Devices there's one you should ALWAYS answer clearly on your #Website:

DOES YOUR TABLET [with #4G / #5G / …) SUPPORT MAKING PHONE CALLS?

Like: IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK TO HAVE THAT INFO IN THE SPECSHEETS?

You're obviously able to list all the #Codecs natively supported and the user-available storage as well as supported Frequency Bands, WWAN modes, WiFi channel width and the Display Glass vs. Panel dimensions including DPI of the latter and whether or not it has a hall effect sensor to detect your overpriced 1st party tablet covers!

Now some folks may ask: "WHY does this matter?" or outright dismiss this as a problem.

Listen:
Not everyone is able or willing to carry two devices when 1 SHOULD BE ENOUGH and also some places (i.e. #Turkey) have #ImportRestrictions re: #MobileDevices, so having more than 1 #IMEI is already a "NOPE!" by the authorities.

  • Also this isn't something one can "fix" post-purchase like installing #VLC to decode some obscure file format in Software: Either the #Baseband and #ROM support #PhoneCalls or they don't!

So why do NONE of the #Tablet manufacturers allow to #search or #filter for that???

NO, instead one has to download an obscenely huge #PDF just to then read on page 34 that for any "#telephony" function you NEED YET ANOTHER DEVICE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND HAVE TO SIGNUP WITH AN ACCOUNT and even that level of #abuse WON'T GUARANTEE THAT IT WORKS...

  • I mean, come on, this ain't some obscure functionality like #OMAPI to do some "evil sourcery" like managing an #eSIM that is in a #SIM-Card form factor!

Pretty shure A LOT of other folks have the same question and ain't willing to get yet another device & #SIM just to recieve the occasional call because #TechIlliterates can't be assed to send an #eMail or learn #XMPP+#OMEMO to message one...

  • Obviously they same manufacturers are able and willing to specify f-stops of the built-in cameras and list EVERY SINGLE #WEARABLE they made and certify as 'compatible' with, as if anyone is gonna take their non-#waterproof #Tablet for a marathon or god forbid triathlon...

@me #Lazyness to setup a #PPA, I guess...

  • Which is no valid excuse even if they can't be assed to do that, cuz @torproject is perfectly capable of distributing up a self-updating #TorBrowser bundle.

Like what prevents them from like doing a launch script that curl's the version number and if it's not the sabed version number, redownload and unpack stuff?

  • But since @threemaapp doesn't pay me to do that (and they are a #CCSS) I van't and won't fix that for them!
