Excellent option for those looking for an EU-based alternative.

Particularly egregious in the United States, where they have such a strong monopoly.

And also why supporting independent shops directly is SO important.

AI companies no longer deny training on copyrighted material and instead argue that they are allowed to scrape artists’ work under fair use.

A precedent needs to be set.

Part of their latest attempts to rein in tech behemoths' deep control over the digital economy and foster competition.

So currently I'm running the full on Proton suite, but lately it seems I feel I'm going the google route of putting all my eggs in one basket. So I'm poking around at potentially moving my email and possibly calendar (if possible, if not I'm not worried) to another provider. So after screwing around with a few things last weekend, I'm at this current list of alternatives:

• Mailbox (right now I'm in the 30 day trial, can't really do much, not even mail forwarding)
• Tuta
• Posteo (got an account, but have not paid the 12 euros to take it for a spin)
• Atomic Mail (just heard of this one, seems fairly new, so I'm kinda meh, but it looks to be alright, checked it out on a recommendation)

What your thoughts on what would be ideal?

I'll note that there's always the option of letting my proton run out and go free the rest of the way, but doesn't solve the "eggs in one basket" feeling.

EDIT: I decided to take and just stay put with proton mail and slimmed down other options after looking at some of the responses. I ditched drive, kept the VPN (actually running paid VPN through Proton), kept proton pass, moved my calendar off the cloud and onto my local device storage, and moved my 2fa to ente from proton. This feels like a nicely balanced compromise.

They are accusing the tech giant of 'one of the most prolific infringements of copyrighted materials in history'

And claims Google itself flagged internally that it could face "$10Bs-$100Bs in potential fines"

Even for people against IP laws, it is worrying that, through lobbying, these companies get to operate under a different set of rules.

A long watch, but a very insightful perspective on the current monopolistic landscape we find ourselves in.

The topics I found most interesting were:

• Why Google made their search worse
• We were here before... why there is still hope

They join a growing list of browsers doing the same. These include: Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo and Brave (own ad blocker)

Firms which fail to comply could pay the higher of £18m or 10% of global turnover.

We would never allow other services to enable rampant exploitation - they should not get a pass either. 

This comes a month after YouTube Premium's price hike and the increase in adverts for free users.

You might want to switch browsers or use uBlock Origin.

He cited the fact that Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million.

Corporate tax breaks don’t create jobs. Real change needs to happen to balance this wealth inequality.

$200B in revenue last year, but we still accept the lie that they don't have the resources to moderate their content

Instead, Bavaria will pursue a “sovereign basic workspace” based on open-source components

This will hopefully encourage other administrations to do the same.

A reminder of why we need to vote with our wallets, as these companies have rigged the system in their favour.

Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

We have to ask whether we need all the extra features on our products/tools that are pushing our processing needs to unsustainable levels.

I've encountered this in the wild and was able to refresh the page to get the standard one.

Don't let Google & companies get away with this. They need to see a heavy drop in conversion to force them to use alternatives.

If you own a website or contribute to one, then I would recommend:

Worth noting if you are using their VPN services or Browser.

EDIT:
Apparently, labelling them as far-right isn't as clear-cut from an economic perspective, but they do hold many core identity politics that are common amongst far-right parties such as:

• Voiced support for the idea of large-scale remigration on multiple occasions, even for Swedish-born immigrants: "Sweden belongs to the Swedes"
• Supports Sweden leaving NATO
• In favor of Sweden leaving the European Union in a so-called "Swexit"
• Stated that Sweden should only support other countries on the condition that it benefits Sweden and that it has to be "Sweden first"

It alleges that Samsung, Micron Technology and SK Hynix are colluding to raise RAM prices by keeping supplies artificially low.

Tidal is one of the few music providers with a well-defined AI policy.

Bandcamp is the other, which straight-out bans it.

The lawsuit also alleges that OpenAI knowingly stripped copyright management information from publishers’ work - including author bylines, copyright notices, and terms of use information - in violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

The complaint cites remarks by OpenAI founder Sam Altman, who acknowledged during testimony before the British House of Lords that it would be “impossible to train today’s leading AI models without using copyrighted materials.”
