If we are able to fight our way through the #Midterms and even gain a minimal advantage in #Congress, it is time to turn all of the screws possible on #BigTech and #SiliconValley and bring them to heel. Put them in court until they obey. Put them on notice that we can break them. 🔦🔦🔦 -

#Vivaldi believes the web is one of humanity’s greatest inventions: it should be open to everyone & be explorable
A Free & Open Web still exists
The problem we’re trying to solve is global; too many rely on #BigTech services that exploit our data and dominate our digital lives
What began as a shared, open space has become a profit machine for a few tech #Oligarchs
It is time for a #Dugnad or a #DigitalDugnad !!
Vivaldi along with #Norway hosted the #AwayKkt & #Dugnad campaign in Norway and then brought the campaign to #Iceland -- our second home.
But what the [hell*(heck) ((#fsck))] is a Dugnad?
Dugnad is Norwegian[Norwegisch].
DugNad's a #Gem word[WortSchatz(vocabulary)].
It basically means friends, neighbours $ family'll come together when a task is too big to handle alone.
What should we do?
Step 1
Start with yourself:
Use a F/LOSS or Vivaldi.com Browser
Avoid G00gl3
Avoid #Gmail
Store encrypted data on secure serverStep 2
Bring others
Try: https://Vivaldi.Social"We deal with overgrowth in our community gardens, together."
Icelandic Motto: "margar hendur vinna létt verk" (literally: many hands make light work)

And how exactly does she want a billion people to play video games when all these shitty companies, including her own, keep laying off everyone? It makes no sense!

@johnnyryan Remember reading a horrific passage from Sarah Wynn-Williams book Horrible People on how everyone inside #meta knew how far the #irish government would go to satisfy the #bigtech companies located in #ireland with regards to such as #privacy.
Not to be trusted, thanks for shining a light on this

Natuurlijk kunnen we hier in Europa ook servers in racks hangen, installeren en er software op draaien. De belachelijke redenering dat "we" dat niet zouden kunnen, slaat he-le-maal nergens op. Ik vind dat zelfs een belediging voor mijn vak en mijn Europese vakbroeders.Ik hoor zo vaak mensen zeggen: ja we zijn te klein, we kunnen dit niet en Europa kan dat niet, en hallo we zijn superwelvarend en al die clouds komen uit onze machines en anders niet!
Ik wil gewoon nooit meer horen dat iemand zegt: joh wij zijn te klein.
En niet alleen kunnen we dat, we moeten dat ook. En snel. Die oranje idioot aan de andere kant van de vijver is op geen enkele manier te vertrouwen en we moeten ons dus zo snel mogelijk losmaken van die criminele bende. Goed voor onze autonomie, werkgelegenheid, economie en zelfs (denk ik) ons Europese zelfvertrouwen.
Veel te lang hebben we dag-in-dag-uit gehoord dat we geen keuze hebben, dat we nou eenmaal niet zelf kunnen bouwen wat die Yanks hebben gebouwd. Dat blijft hangen. Een propagandaminister zei ooit dat een leugen vanzelf waarheid wordt als hij maar vaak genoeg herhaald wordt...
Zoals altijd legt @Bert Hubert NL 🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦 het nog eens helder uit. Ja, we kunnen hier in Europa prima zelf dingen doen. Nee, daarmee stort de wereld niet ineens in.

My recommended apps and services list for leaving Big Tech and Google. It’s possible to have the conveniences of a modern life while leaving behind the vendor lock-in and corporate dystopia being created by Big Tech.

Efter at have undsluppet den eksistentielle krise med demokratisk og juridisk ansvarlighed

Frygten for Marshall Plan teknokrater er blevet realiseret: Big Tech er Trump og Trump er Big Tech, og sammen, de udfører en autoritær overtagelse af USA og lande rundt om i verden

Ever wondered why it's so difficult to stop scrolling?
It is not just willpower. Personalized recommendations, infinite scroll, and notifications are all designed to keep you engaged for as long as possible.
Curious how it works and what you can do about it?

Juhu, googlemail und Kontakte sind jetzt im Kerker. Ich habe es geschafft auf fossify umzustellen. Sie dürfen jetzt dem Google Kalender dort Gesellschaft leisten. Ich schmeiß denen noch ein Skatspiel hinterher.
Der Account von Spotify ist weg.
Die App der Hanseatic Bank funktioniert nicht ohne Google. DKB und Sparkasse wohl.
Jetzt ist fast alles fertig.

#BigTech rennt mit voller Geschwindigkeit weiter in den #AI Hype und kannibalisiert existierende Geschäftsmodelle: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/technology/microsoft-xbox-layoffs-ai.html Währenddessen geht lokal coden (oMLX + Qwen) schon akzeptabel, Meeting-Summaries ebenfalls (https://meetily.ai/). Knackpunkt: Die kann man nicht mal eben wie bisher wegkaufen vom Markt!

Building search engine infrastructure with zero dependency on big tech isn’t easy.
But sovereignty is worth it.
The decision to build (not rent) ensures we all have independent access to the web.

One of the best-selling #3D printers in the world now needs #permission to print, after a 2025 #firmware update locked seven core functions behind Bambu's own #system. They called it #security, but the #community cracked it within days, and then #Bambu Lab tried to sue the #developer who gave owners back #control.

Apple spent two years selling "your data never leaves our silicon." New popup in iOS 26/27 quietly says otherwise — shape generation in iWork now ships straight to Google Cloud. AFM Cloud Pro runs on Nvidia GPUs in someone else's data center, dressed up in a genuinely impressive audit trail.

"A landmark AI development billed as delivering jobs and prosperity has misrepresented its plans to channel a nuclear reactor’s worth of power to a site in rural Scotland, a Guardian investigation has found.
When it was announced in January, the government promised that an £8.2bn AI datacentre complex in Lanarkshire – built by the US firm CoreWeave and the Scottish company DataVita – would be powered entirely from on-site renewables and built by 2030.
The AI datacentre complex represented a large part of Britain’s ambitions to keep up in the global AI race by building the infrastructure that underpins artificial intelligence. A central plank of the project’s viability was its ability to power itself.
But documents obtained through freedom of information (FoI) requests and analysis of public records suggest the datacentre has no prospect of meeting that goal."
