Trustworthy Technology | Earth | Part Time | REMOTE | Anything
Hi, we are a small group trying to bring the "trustworthy" feature back to tech. Curating and building a FOSS+ toolset, storefront, and eventually online service—all to support freedom, privacy, and informed consent—on device and on the net.
We've written our thoughts and research down at: https://trustworthy.technology/ and we have a few geeks starting projects at: https://codeberg.org/aol
First off, you'll notice that you've probably not heard about this project before. Next, the message is a bit scattered, and the "programmer art," while arguably not horrible isn't winning any awards either, haha.
That's where you come in.
You are one of the few folks who really cares about this stuff, and also a graphic/product designer, or perhaps a digital marketer, communicator or "people whisperer." (Being in the EU would be helpful as well, to work from the digital sovereignty angle, though not required.) Geeks are welcome too.
Some of us are unemployed and currently donating our time. Maybe you are too, or retired/cashed-out and bored. Consider this another FOSS-like project. We hope the store/service will make money, but we're not there yet.
Interested? Let's chat at: https://trustytech.zulipchat.com/join/ivui3uglp2at3tyltau7jj...
BTW, if/when you join please say hi and let us know what kind of projects you're interested in.

So they do have access after all—just have to ask nicely.
That process is fine, the best we have.
The problem is having roving surveillance vehicles driving around everywhere. I see a couple of them every day on my walk in a mostly residential area.
The addition of facial recognition is trivial if not already implemented. Can be done after the fact. The tradeoff is catching an occasional criminal while enabling all sorts of abuse from the powers that be.

If you weren’t constantly farming karma, it wouldn’t bother you.
Why not critique the content instead?

This is great, been waiting so long for a good Linux tablet. I love my Starlite. I put fedora and phosh on it and watch movies all the time with it.

Thanks, guess codeberg doesn't have much bandwidth. On the other hand it's mostly static text and a css include, should be easy to serve.

Anyone have additional feedback? Seems to have a decent number of votes, but I didn't see it on the front page, even on the second to fifth.
