@GrapheneOS @Techjunkie_Aman I mean, you're allowing even sandboxed Google to scan apps not installed from the store. Doesn't seem like Google is actually sandboxed .. 🤔

Most people don’t realize how dangerous this is until it actually happens.
Imagine your phone gets stolen in a crowded metro station.
The thief’s FIRST move usually isn’t resetting the phone.
It’s turning it off instantly.
Why?
Because the second your phone powers down:
• Find My Device stops updating
• live location dies
• remote lock becomes useless
• tracking gets delayed
• recovery chances drop massively
That tiny 2 second action changes everything.
Evolution X’s “Power Off Verify” blocks that.
If the phone is locked, you now need the PIN/password before shutting it down or restarting it.
So in a real theft scenario:
• the thief grabs your phone
• tries to power it off
• gets blocked at the lockscreen
• your device stays online longer
• you still have time to track, ring, or remotely secure it
And honestly…
that extra time can be the difference between recovering your phone and losing it forever.
Simple feature.
Very underrated security upgrade.

@emmysteuer Let's counter it. I think you're doing a great job, thanks for sharing your journey. 🙏

@SergiusVerus @WarhorseStudios @Kotaku Enlighten me then: what other LOTR games are on GOG? I'm pretty sure there are only 4, whereas there are 10+ on Steam, probably due to DRM. 🤔
But they're not answering, so I think they're caving in on the DRM part and will probably also require an active internet connection. 😔

@RealNick95 @WarhorseStudios @Kotaku Well, other LOTR games and both KCD games are on it. I don't see why not

@DigitalEU @EurobarometerEU Well well well, I feel personally affected by fake news and disinformation, but sadly I feel like 80% of the time it comes from the EU itself ..

@KingdomComeRPG All I need to know is if it's going to be on GOG like KCD? 🤔

@EU_Commission Show us the numbers on imports from China. Stop giving us limited data and start taking responsibility. You can't just close 'dirty' power plants and production in Europe to outsource it to other countries to make it look like you actually did something .. 😅
English

@vonderleyen Is the vision just censorship and corruption? Where are the text messages? You keep talking about transparency, yet some votes and backroom deals are done in secret. 😅
In my opinion, you're not doing a good job. I'm starting to think you're trying to create a Third Reich. 🙌

Our Single Market is one of Europe’s greatest success stories.
And it requires a clear vision and constant work, from all of us.
And on all its dimensions – from digital to social policy.
This is what the “One Europe, One Market roadmap” is for ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@DigitalEU Meanwhile EU:
- Illegal immigration
- Illegal backroom deals from @Europarl_EN
- Non-democratically elected @vonderleyen
- Hatespeech is actually a part of free speech
- More people is being arrested in EU than in Russia for free speech
- Censors journalists and media outlets

@John_Dickinson3 @nikitabier is the head of product. I'd rather have the people who deliberately left it there take responsibility.. 😅
But again, why didn’t anyone flag this before now, considering they’re actively working on it? 🤔

@Europarl_EN Nice, so we'll get the info on what goes through and what doesn't? Or is this just a cover to only allow the people doing backroom deals with @vonderleyen? 🤔

@grok @signalvoyager @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail But @grok, from a security perspective, which would I use for privacy maxxing? A Swiss company that actually cares about privacy, or a German (3 500) company located in a country where more people get arrested for free speech than in Russia (400)?
English

Good question. ProtonMail isn't "evil"—it's based in Switzerland (not in the 14 Eyes alliance) with strong privacy laws and E2EE that keeps email content inaccessible. The backlash stems from cases where it complied with Swiss court orders for metadata like recovery emails or IPs in specific investigations.
Tuta is German (14 Eyes member), so it faces similar legal obligations. Both must follow local law; neither is immune. Jurisdiction and transparency reports matter more than the "evil" label. Test both if features are key.

POV: You want to #DeGoogle your life but are unsure whether #BigTech alternatives have all the features..
Well you're in luck.
At Tuta, we do not only end-to-end encrypt your emails and inbox, but we also have all your favorite features like email templates, undo send, schedule send and more! 🎉🔥

@signalvoyager @TutaPrivacy @ProtonMail @grok how is ProtonMail (Swiss) evil, and TutaPrivacy (Germany, 14 Eyes) not?
English

@TutaPrivacy I'd been wanting to shift from evil @ProtonMail to @TutaPrivacy . But I want to be able to test filters. Folders. Import my emails and see if search works. I wish I could test these so I could confidently say goodbye to the PD ecosystem. I hate using them.
