Chat Control is not dead. The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos
The “Chat Control” proposal would legalise scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens.
I’m not very knowledgable about technology but ever since all of this + the push of ID verification online around the globe I’ve started to grow a small analog collection of games/books/DVDs. It’s the easiest way to prepare oneself for worst case scenarios even if one doesn’t know every detail.
Absolutely! It brings peace of mind. And here used CDs and DVD’s cost around 1-2€ per piece so when the streaming services just keep deleting their content and jacking up the prices at the same time, it feels whole lot better and saves money in the long run. It’s fun to exchange movies with the friends too! Or to bring a physical disc to a movie night.
I have bought a few boardgames too to play with the family and friends. It something I have just thought that “it could be fun” but never have gotten around to or actually bothered to play… Now I have gotten around and bothered and it has been a lot of fun!
