EU backs away from chat control in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world
[–] 89 points 11 months ago* (2 children)

This is framing. I live in the Netherlands, who voted against this version of ChatControl light. Messenger apps are now allowed not nog forced to scan messages and report incidents (mostly aimed at child pornography i understand).

Sounds good maybe, but here it is feared that scanning PRIVATE messages is normalised in this way, and will be made compulsary in the future.

So all things considered a bad fucking day for privacy. If anything the EU moves back to ChatControl after the initial version was rejected (rightly so in my opionion.)

    Green mouse electronics (lemmy.world)
     

    So i was wondering where I should go to buy phone accessories such as chargers and cables. I came across green mouse, which is located in Zwolle, the Netherlands. However I can not find where the products are actually made. Does anyone know? Or is there a more EU based alternative I should be pursuing? I am from the Netherlands so green mouse seemed like a good fit.

    What are your opinions?

    Cars From VW group (lemmy.world)
     

    Hello all,

    So i am in a canundrum. I am going to buy a new car (EV) and of course want to buy something from which the EU benefits. I am considering the Skoda Enyaq and the Cupra Tavascan. Both car brands are part of the VW group, which is a European company. However, I found out that the Cupra is built is Hefei, China, while the Skoda is built in Czechia which is of course in europe. The Cupra is in fact more equipped than the Skoda while also being cheaper. This may of course in part be explained by where they are built. How do you guys feel about this?

    Thanks for your insights in advance!

I have replaced my dialer with simple dialer and the sms service with QUIK SMS. However, i was wondering if there are any spam filtering apps i Can use that Will keep me safe? should I answer? Seems To Be The best But it is not FOSS. Can i trust it?

    Custom ROM on any device? (lemmy.world)
     

    I recently bought an HMD Skyline because it is supposed to be a European brand and I tried to degoogle it as far as possible. I am not logged in on my Google account and use alternatives for all applicable apps.

    Fact is, that some Google services are impossible to get rid of, such as file manager, photos etc...

    Besides this the HMD Skyline's software really sucks. It constantly crashes or my navigation bar stops working. Throwing it out feels like a step too far as it is a relatively new phone and it is just creating more e-waste.

    To hopefully strike two birds with 1 stone, I would like to install a custom non-google-ROM.

    I believe the bootloader for the HMD skyline is unlockable these days, so that would remove the first obstacle. But my question is: are there any custom ROMs available for the Skyline? And to make the question a bit broader: can any device be flashed with a custom ROM or should a ROM be developed specifically per device type?

    Any insights are appreciated!
