"As Juerg Gilgen, a current cartographer at Swisstopo, told me “as a matter of fact, the proof-reader is also just a human being prone to failure. And cartographers are also just human beings trying to fool around.”"

Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

7 Free Privacy-Friendly Alternatives to Popular Android Apps

Take back your privacy, one app at a time.

^{Faisal Rasool (How-To Geek)}

Why do I get the feeling that lately, in so many countries, new regulations are popping up with only one purpose - to erode privacy 🔓? It feels like a bad joke. I can't keep up anymore.

I wish I could fight them all at once, put pressure everywhere 🌍, no matter where I live. But I don't have the time. I'm already drowning in an endless to-do list.

Why couldn't the government set a different deadline? Why are they so determined to push this through? My mind can't wrap around it I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏

Swiss surveillance could become worse than US

If passed, chat, email & VPN providers from #Switzerland must:

🚨 Log IP addresses
🚨 Ask for ID upon sign up
🚨 Decrypt data upon request

Swiss Bundesrat is still discussing this draft bill, decision will likely be made in 2026.
