Last Notes npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever "Calling it 'speed test data' dramatically undersells what is actually happening. Ookla captures more than 1,000 attributes per test. If you have given the app location access, it collects your precise GPS coordinates and links them to your home IP address, building a physical map of network locations tied to real households. 250 million consumer-initiated tests happen per month. That is 250 million data points per month from people who thought they were just checking their internet speed." npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever I'm looking for people working at a bank in Europe who are interested in #EthicalTech and who would be interested to help us ensure that banking apps function well on European operating systems. Do you know anyone who might be interested? Please reach out to me via DM! npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever In finding European alternatives, we don't talk enough about operating systems! This is where change literally begins and ends, if you get this right a lot of the other changes come automatically. npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever European companies ARE ready to help people and organizations with #DigitalSovereignty. Here 2 great examples 👇 npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever Unbelievable: Dutch #messenging app Zivver, used for confidential communications in the Dutch legal system and health care system, sold to American company Kiteworks, where former Israeli spies have key rolls... npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever #Enshittification explains why with basically every Big Tech company the users are the product these days and not the customer. The customers are the Ad companies! A great talk by Cory Doctorow here on the topic if you have 30mins: npub1rydfemc9drj0z6v9sd0txthtg5xwh79kwe3j7cc4dfcuep2ck25sh5stg5 Rik Viergever Dr Seuss with a satire that is 80 years old but very relevant today! "America first" apparently is not a new term
