I found the article odd. The stats of how many people work for companies greater than 250 can be accounted for without claiming companies get weaker as they bigger. Why do almost half of the population work for small companies then? Because

I have been using LineageOS without google replacement libs for about a year. There is a huge amount of comments here, which is interesting in itself - clearly there is a lot of interest in de-googled Android. I worry about fragmentation, e

My personal stages of gdpr experience: Stage one: these cookie consent popups are empowering. I'm glad the people won. Stage two: I am getting a bit sick of having to understand custom consent forms on every site. Stage three: what hav
