Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. Thatโ€™s impossible. Insteadโ€ฆ only try to realize the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Spoon boy: There is no spoonโ€ฆ

Neo: There is no spoon?

Spoon boy: Then youโ€™ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.

@Wetrix I feel you.
I don't have a solution for this ^ either.
My escape is to keep myself busy, by working like crazy on things that I enjoy, or are important to me.
This keeps the depression levels low.

Mass surveillance around the world is growing. We have to fight for our right to privacy and freedom of speech! Here we explain how any backdoor would lessen security for all of us: tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-

If you put your company's secret data in the cloud, YOU ALREADY LOST CONTROL OF YOUR DATA

Cos it's in the Cloud.

That's what the Cloud is.

It's giving someone else control of your secret data.

That someone being someone who wants to rule the world.

You can kid yourself for a very long time that nobody who runs the Cloud is going to look at your secret data.

But it's a cutthroat business world, data is money, and you will never know if they did look.

They probably aren't looking! You hope.

@neauoire The current list: github.com/croqaz/awesome-fair

I'll keep an eye on more devices to add in the list, now that the repo is there.

Feel free to clone, fork, hack the list, etc. It's public domain.

@neauoire No, that's really interesting. I'll add the top ones from there.

@neauoire Sounds good. I'll build a gist now and work on a repo tonight.
This is something I'm very interested in myself.

@neauoire I wonder if anybody has built a list of fair hardware, eg: phones and laptops... I know quite a bunch of them, scattered around my notes.
Would anyone be interested if I built such a list?

To "see" is just as far from "looking" as is "hearing" from "listening". You can quote me on that.

@greyor And it wasn't her fault. She was really trying. But she was lucky, because the system was rewarding more than the rest of the people.
This is the education system I grew up in.

@greyor I know this because I was friends with this girl and she had a really really good memory. She had the max grades almost all the time. But she would be stuck when she had to solve a problem she never seen before, like in chemestry. And she told me all the time how jealous she is of the people that really understand how to solve those problems...

@greyor It's tricky because I don't know what kind of grading system you had in school and you don't know what grading system I had in school. They were very different.
The education system I know rewards students that have a good short memory and can regurgitate accurate facts. And the next week they forget everything.

@greyor I admit I'm not so smart to have a good alternative. But I recognize the problem and if enough people do that, it's the first step in solving the problem.
