The most annoying thing about corporate surveillance to me is the arrogance of the prediction mechanisms.
These algorithms build a model of me based on my clicks from three years ago and then try to trap me in that loop forever. They show me music they think I'll like, and news they think I'll engage with, and videos they think will enrage me enough to keep me hooked to their platforms. They are actively trying to flatten my personality into something easy to monetize.
As most people I've seen say out loud, "Privacy as a concept is way beyond hiding secrets. A part of it also means preserving your capacity to change. To be surprised. To be inconsistent."
If I could tell every human one thing, it would be to actively refuse to be a predictable data point. Mess up their metrics. In whatever way you are capable of.

New IP leak discovered in Telegram: the built-in proxy exposes your real IP using a single-click flaw!
When you click on a "tg://proxy" link, Telegram starts a connection while ignoring your proxy settings. This exposes your real public IP address, leaking your identity online.
The malicious link appears as a nickname, but will steal your real IP address as soon as the user profile is shown. Android and iOS are both affected. Currently the only solution is using a VPN. Telegram has declared that it will only add a warning popup.

Modern web needs like 100MB just to say "Hello World". I went the other way.
Introducing GASM: A Gopher server in pure i386 Assembly.
💾 Binary: 1.5KB
🧠 RAM: 24KB (Verified with pmap)
🚫 Dependencies: 0 (No libc, pure syscalls)
🦕 Min Spec: Intel 386DX (1985)
Probably runs on the shittiest hardware you can find, or on your Ryzen 9.

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.
You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.
AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.
Reject this future. 
Keep your hardware local.
Run #Linux. 
Own your data.
The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Adversarial interoperability should be legal. Users should be able to use software on their own devices the way they want to. The tariff wars have opened up a new political opportunity to make that happen. @pluralistic explains it well:

Just discovered this super cool static-site generator for musicians called Faircamp. I haven’t used it, but it looks neat. It’s def worth a peek if you publish music online.
Oh, and it’s FOSS.

There is a Call for Feedback by the European Commission for a 'European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy' For strategic approach to #foss in Europe, and a framework for using open source within the European Commission. You can respond until 3 February. It is useful to respond even if your point has already been submitted by someone else. The number and repetition of arguments is used as a weight. ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r… cc #fosdem
The EU is working on what is in essence a new Open Source strategy for Europe, and the call for evidence is now open. This is our cue to provide feedback and input to the strategy!
If you are involved in the Open Source community in any way, if you benefit (or could benefit) in any way from Open Source, or if you're simply interested in questions about digital sovereignty, please visit ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-r… for details on how to contribute.
