That’s why I’m also always trying to push the benefits of open data/source/etc onto my employers. It sometimes works too.

It’s up to us as individuals to also make a fuss about this stuff here in EU. I love EU but I’m not blindly trusting every corpo that’s from EU.

Choose local (in our case European/EU), but not blindly and naively.

WHAT! I love my bialetti… Thankfully it will probably last me forever and the little sealing part I can get from other brands I guess.

Out of curiosity may I ask what language? It’s been incredible for such a small language as Finnish.

Didn’t know mullvad is Swedish, cool. Wonder how they compare to NordVPN? Not an expert and I felt like the rabbit hole got deeper and deeper trying to make a proper purchase decision before committing to a specific VPN…

Interesting, well at least the code is open-source and I’ve myself also skimmed through some of their code and didn’t find anything suspicious. But didn’t know that about Estonian laws allowing anyone to spin-up a company even if they are living outside of Estonia. Thanks for the info!

Just to add my two cents about online presence: my online presence is also limited to lemmy, linkedin, and github. The only one with my real name and picture is linkedin.

Github I only use for work and doesn’t have any of my personal info and linkedin pretty much has one photo of me and works as my online CV.

I also try to keep my own visibility online low and don’t see problems with that. But these kind of mailbox companies are always bit suspicious…

Nevertheless, thank you for looking into this and posting about it.
