WRT Mozilla location services: I'm not 100% informed, but there's yet another alternative. Community-driven iirc.

My bank does not require Google integrity checks. Change your bank?

Kyiv groans a collective ‘WTF?’ to Trump

You and us both, Kyiv.

I'm starting to feel collectively ashamed for "The West" that this war still isn't over. Please hold tight, I'm sure we'll get there!

Solange Leute eine 100% Drop-in Lösung suchen, ohne anfänglichen Reibungsverlust, wird das nie was.

Der Staat sollte Leuten die den Wechsel machen ein Startgeld auszahlen, wie das bei neuen Selbstständigen auch ist. Dann fluppt das plötzlich mit den EU-und-FLOSS-Alternativen!

"Always has been"

I'm pretty sure the keywords have changed, but they should've mentioned in the article that Tiktok has never been uncensored.
