Hopefully, in the EU at least, the verification will be provided by the government. Like a 2FA, meaning Big Tech would only get a verified token and nothing else.

The government already got passports with our face, and have had it for many years. They could use that information.

That would mean that any platform could implement this verification, and never get hold on any data.

Best case in a shitty scenario, I know.

Yeah, I read it. But they still promised open source, nothing about Barry working on it or not.

That's why I said "keeping their promise"

In a Reddit AMA, the then-Branch CEO Alex Austin also revealed that if Kevin ever left Branch, they would open-source Nova Launcher's code and release it to the community.

We still have hope if they keep their promise!

Yeah.. You do it, but do you think the UK government does?

Holy shit, the quote is wild!

At this stage, it appears that the only way for Google to end its conflict of interest effectively is with a structural remedy, such as selling some part of its Adtech business.

EU is smoking Google, rightfully so. Third time they get a fine for this, so now its gloves off.

Also just users. No docker or anything, just using the system someone else setup for them.

NextCloud is used everywhere, also in commercial use.

Automation was never about safety in the first place.

[–] themurphy@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

Yes, probably why this wont affect EU users.

Like anyone cares outside of EU.

It will probably be for the rest of the world.

EU devices not effected.
