I post this just to show how I wanted to reply to the last post in the conversation from the screenshot, but I couldn't because @Azarilh blocked me.
“I admit this
If this would happen (which I really hope will not) I will stay with #VivaldiBrowser for as much as it would be able to survive, and then move to a #GeckoBrowserEngine-based #browser.
After all, #Chromium doesn't invade my #privacy, as #Bing, #Google, #Yahoo etc. do.”
Am I wrong?
Steven Bonk: “When Canadians provide their personal information to political parties, whether signing up for a newsletter, attending a town hall or simply expressing support, they are placing trust in us. They expect that information to be treated with care, confidentiality and respect. When that expectation is not met, the harm is not just legal or administrative. It is democratic.”

In some #awesome news, Trump's #AI plans have been leaked on #github, which others have now backed up for themselves.
First reported yesterday by 404 Media, the #tech is to launch on July 4th. Besides a #chatbot, there are APIs to connect to other models, and some other agency tech.
Despite Trump's rush to deploy widespread AI, many experts have valid #security and #privacy concerns regarding access to #confidential #data.

Trump administration's whole-government AI plans leaked on GitHub
Updated: The AI.gov repository and staging site vanished when we asked questions, but don't worry – we captured backupsBrandon Vigliarolo (The Register)
As part of the investigation, I have looked closely at Telegram's protocol and analyzed packet captures provided by IStories.
I have also done some packet captures of my own.
I dive into the nitty-gritty technical details of what I found and how I found it on my blog:
Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot

Yes, my packet captures and a small Python library I wrote in the process are all published along.

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot
Many people who focus on information security, including myself, have long considered Telegram suspicious and untrustworthy. Now, based on findings published by the investigative journalism outlet IStSongs on the Security of Networks
Remarkable investigation into Telegram by IStories (in Russian):
istories.media/stories/2025/06…
English version by OCCRP:
occrp.org/en/investigation/tel…
tl;dr:
👉 Telegram uses a single company with ties to the Russian FSB as their sole infrastructure provider, globally.
👉 Combined with a cleartext device identifier Telegram's protocol requires to be prepended to all encrypted messages, this allows for global surveillance of Telegram users.
I am quoted in this story.
Telegram, the FSB, and the Man in the Middle
The technical infrastructure that underpins Telegram is controlled by a man whose companies have collaborated with Russian intelligence services.OCCRP
Finally have some free time to start moving away from a Gmail email address. Can anybody recommend a fully hosted email service provider?
I can pay.
Something like Fastmail, with the ability for aliases, and a clean, HTML, designed interface that isn't trying to be an app in a browser? But the ability to view messages as plain text.
Proton Mail is a no go because their LLMs poke all through your messages. I want something without AI bullshit.
I'd use Fastmail but they don't work with my VOIP mobile numbers and constantly engage in union busting so want something else.
LibreOffice for End User Privacy – TDF’s Annual Report 2024 - The Document Foundation Blog
LibreOffice stands out as a privacy-respecting open source office suite. Unlike proprietary alternatives, the software is designed with privacy, user control and transparency in mind.Mike Saunders (The Document Foundation)
Privacy vs Security: Yandex is spying on their users in an insecure way, Meta (Facebook, Insta) in a more secure way. Both of them are a threat against user privacy
This is yet another example showing that there are reasons to be more suspicious against proprietary apps. We should avoid installing GAFAM apps, and reducing as much as possible our dependency on their services is healthy
