Further results:
- #UbuntuTouch – connections every several minutes to a few Canonical and ubports servers – probably tuneable, but behaving like this out of the box.
- #SailfishOS X – connects to some NTP servers, to ip4.jolla.com (detection of WIFI capture portals) and some AWS server, exchanges a few bytes and stops; repeats the same process after ~12 hours (probably network clock synchronization).
This is even less than #GrapheneOS‘ default connections.
Interesting thread in the #SailfishOS forum where a user set up the following experiment:
They flashed an Xperia X phone with different OSes, left them idle without running any apps and then saw how often and where the OS is connecting to by default (tcpdumps).
Results:
- #Android 8.1 from vendor – an expected catastrophe: within one minute, it „connected everywhere“.
Read on for #UbuntuTouch, #SailfishOS, and #grapheneos

So the European Parliament decides to adopt privatized Internet censorship -in the name of opposing "terrorist content- without a fuckin vote.
Any country can ask any company to take down any content in *ONE HOUR* if it is "terrorist content".
Hungary, Poland, will love that. Maybe if you call to burn EU Democracy, you'll be taken down too?
Anyone still believes #EU is relevant? that EU Parliament is "democratic"? That any of this is just and fair?
Oscars 2021 – a mixed bag
• Chloe Zhao first woman of color Best Director winner 🎉
• Black actors only win for supporting roles not leads 😡
• My Octopus Teacher best documentary 🌈
• Ja Ja Ding Dong was robbed 🐳
Interesting news regarding #SailfishOS in this morning's community meeting.
#Jolla is thinking about allowing the community to buy and install the OS's commercial parts (like the Android layer) on top of community ports, e.g. for the #PinePhone or the @Fairphone ).
Maybe that dream of a hackable Linux-based OS on repairable, ethically sourced hardware could finally come true! \o/

I'm shocked that #Berlin's foremost #comics underground institution, the Renate Comics Library, can only pay its rent for two more months due to the pandemic.
This is an essential place for the Berlin comics scene for over 30 yrs now. I've been to the monthly meetups countless times and I've given workshops there - it's a priceless incubator for art and friendship.

Cannot recommend #Ecosia, they send search data directly to #Bing alias #Microsoft and don't even try to protect your privacy. Also, they use a whole lot of third parties for some of their site features. Try using #Qwant, #Startpage, #Metager or #YaCy instead. More alternatives:

Currently drawing another #silhouette-style #fairytale chapter.
I actually cheated and skipped a more complicated chapter for this easier one - lots of stress and people to take care of these days, and I worried the #comics pages would otherwise peter out entirely…

Delete Chrome. Now.
Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.
They are transforming Chrome into a "browsing-history-passport" - right now.
If you care about your intellectual freedom even a little bit, you must put Chrome out of your life as soon as possible. Support others doing the same.
