    Not quite a11y, but how do you all deal with privacy, in regarding to what has been disclosed about Microsoft, Google and Apple?

    I am currently debating to use Linux more as main OS, and ditching my Android-phone for an iPhone (as Apple has a better trackrecord with privacy than Google).
  18. well, spying on your usage and data

    Anything recent I missed?
  21. Do you have a link. I hadn't heard anything new about this for years. I'm very interested if I missed something. They have most of the isp's here in the us so it probably wouldn't make much difference anyway.
