I like the idea, but I wonder how this works in practice. If I grant ACME Inc. access to my “profile picture,” for example, won't they just copy the file and store it on their own servers (be it for performance reasons, tracking, ease

Another vote for the Pocketbook (~€100 on online stores in Europe). As the parent above, I never connected it to the internet, not once. I use a USB cable to add new books. The Pocketbook is also recommended by Mozilla's Privacy Not In

On iOS there is Morse Machine, similar idea for single characters. There is also morse.camp, a PWA that focuses on recognizing English words.

I still don't understand how one can retract access once given. If I share my purchase history with some financial web app and later decide to retract access the web app will no longer get new data, but how can I be sure they don'

I always wondered if this is US specific. In Europe, as far as I know, the package would simply be delivered by the neighbor, they return the next day, or you have to get it from the local convenience store or some centralized lock-box.

I am a freelance developer and added footnote to my invoices explaining I donate 1% of the amount to an open-source project used for the assignment. I ask them to propose the projects they prefer but almost no one does.
