Which corporations in your opinion are the most evil for privacy, and the least evil for privacy?
The privacy setting on IOS is mostly somkes and mirrors as most data is still phoned home, somone made a blocklist of services that „phone home” weirdly often (alltough some I understand, others are there for unknow reason to me). (here is what apple claims each of those send/do ), telemetry is way too closely tied with apple walled garden to fully disable it without loosing funcionality. OEM versions of android arent really better but becuase of the nature of android you can install vanilla android or even a full blown linux distro, there are some efforts to port android and normal linux to iphones, but its very much only a proof of concept, not a end-user os. Generally i personally prefer a open solution for something as low-level as an operating system. Im also very dubious over the iMessage security claims as it had security problems in the past.

What do you guys use instead of Google maps?
Yet they enable personalized advertising by default and collect copious amounts of telemetry? Doesn't seem like "miles ahead" to me.

macOS: What is triald and why is it taking so much disk space?
I just put this list in /etc/hosts. Seems to work well enough. I don’t use any apple services on my Mac. This will probably break those.

Apple's retail employees are reportedly using Android phones and encrypted chats to keep unionization plans secret
Apple has personalized advertising and tracking on by default (having tripled their share of targeted mobile advertising since monopolizing it), as well as a wealth of telemetry and has participated in NSA's PRISM like all other large American tech companies, so I'm not really sure what point is being made here.

[Question] Is it possible to make jailbroken devices more private by totally cutting or reducing Apple's telemetry?
If you want a complete list of Apple Servers, check out this link and keep in mind that if you block all of them, services such as updates, App Store, and Apple Pay will probably be blocked by this list..

Notes on My Remarkable Tablet
Apart from camera, almost everything is working correctly. Camera doesn't work at all.
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface
I use this kernel, you can use this with most operating systems.
I use xournal++ for note writing, and using GNOME is necessary. KDE doesn't have support for screen rotation etc. When you use GNOME, make sure to disable gestures and screen edge detection, because that might occasionally cause problems.
So, the workflow is quite simple with xournal++, you run a `inotify` based watched which automatically compiles and pushes stuff on every save. I of course assume that only `xournal++` on tab can change those handwritten notes. You can get some fancier git logic if needed.
```

Microsoft's next Surface laptops will reportedly be its first true 'AI PCs'
There's support for Linux on the Surface range:
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supporte...
But actual users seem to say it's a bit of a mixed bag.
If someone's looking for a laptop (that doesn't need touchscreen support), then Apple laptops are probably the better choice.

Surface Pro 2017 didn't boot USB flash drive(s) and system
How to get out of this situation? Links https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/issues/1240 - the same problem as I have and the same puncture, but the person managed to get out of the situation https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/16d40vs/kill_my_surface_pro_2017_need_help/ - my similar post in a nearby subreddit, but since I'm here, the problem turned out to be bigger than I thought

Should have you covered.
I went the 12” MacBook route which can also install Linux.

New Linux Tablet from Star Labs
I have a surface with Ubuntu and the Surface Kernel (https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface) , and it works really wonderfully. I will say, before installing the Surface Kernel, it was very janky.

Linux distribution on Surface Laptop?
I know about https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface but I'm looking for practical feedback from people who did the operation in order to orient my choice.
