Dear #Prague (#digital) #privacy community. I am thinking about organizing a meeting once in a while in a cafe, so we can talk about common topics. WDYT? Do you know anyone who will be interested in joining?

You know our future is definitely a dystopian surveillance nightmare when the government acts like you're a criminal for wanting a level of privacy that was considered normal just 10 years ago.

Whenever people are worried about criminals using #privacy-oriented software, I'm wondering who do they mean by "criminals"?
Let me point out that in some countries people verbally opposing the authoritarian regime are "criminals", while rapists become presidents. Or people peacefully protesting against genocide are "criminals", while nazis openly calling for violence are model citizens.
So yeah, if I were to develop such software, I'd rather have it used by "criminals". Because, guess what, true criminals will get their hands on that kind of software anyway.

Figured out a cheap trick to blur a smartphone's camera:
1. Cut a piece of transparent adhesive tape.
2. Sandpaper it.
3. Attach on top of the camera.
Wanted to blur instead of covering the camera, because the phone interprets full cover as darkness and dims the screen.

Gmail rolled out an update on October 10, 2025, and a lot of people didn't notice what it actually does. 
Google's Gemini can now automatically scan everything in your inbox - emails, attachments, receipts, financial docs, all of it - to train their Al and build ad profiles. 
If you don't want that, you can turn it off.

Content warning: privacy laws, back doors & remote bricking risks

Good points well made by @…:
"It's well past time for a post-American internet. Every device and every service should be designed so that the people who use them have the final say over how they work. Manufacturers' back doors and digital locks that prevent us from updating our devices with software of our choosing were never a good idea. Today, they're a catastrophe. ...
"For the rest of the world to escape dictators' demands, they will have to accelerate their independence from American tech – not just Russian gas. A post-American internet starts with abandoning the laws that give US companies – and therefore Trump – a veto over how your technology works."

If you use "Fossify gallery" go to phone/Android/data/org.fossify.gallery/files/Pictures
And you may find your long lost Deleted photos that you cropped with it.
I don't think that's a good privacy features. They are deleted photos and they are still here..
Edit: these are the photos that were originally cropped to use as wallpaper and was deleted but Fossify gallery kept them anyway
