I think there should be a feature on apps we could activate to prevent accidental clicking on e-mail/text links, or a strong warning "ARE YOU SURE you want to click this LINK??".

That way not even by accident you'd click them. I avoid but sometimes it slips.

Google recently won that legal battle that could force them to sell Android and Chrome because anti-competition, so I’m not sure if “everything” was bundled in or not. Apple was only the App Store

Since 2024 in Europe. There’s even a setting to select the default App Store on official settings now.

interesting, the App Store alternative (cause now iOS allows other stores) is joining the fediverse, which means players can follow app updates and new information from the fediverse. techcrunch.com/2025/10/07/a...

Portugal pls!

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 1d

🇩🇪 Germany is AGAINST Chat Control:

Jens Spahn: "We as the CDU/CSU parliamentary group are against indiscriminate monitoring of chats. That would be like preemptively opening all letters to check whether there's something illegal in them. That's not acceptable, that won't happen under our watch."
