The top story in cybersecurity this week is about a US app negligently leaking a trove of government IDs, meanwhile the UK government is completely confident that ID verification is totally safe 🤪

Our latest video is live, exploring Secureblue, a project aimed at addressing security concerns in traditional Linux distributions by significantly hardening existing components and systems.

Privacy is a marathon, not a sprint.

It's common to be overwhelmed by the constant attacks on privacy we read about every day, and to burn out trying to fix every problem all at once.

This is by the attackers' design, of course. Big tech companies and governments want to paralyze you with choices and actions, so you give up on the fight entirely.

It's okay to take a breath, clean up slowly, and train yourself over the long-term to improve your data privacy health over time.

@Mik3y indeed, openSUSE is probably the best option if this is important to you (and I did note that in the article actually), but this is probably something I’d be less concerned about for all the reasons @niels shared.

We have a pretty good sense of what’d happen if RedHat mismanaged Fedora, because a few years ago when people took issue with RedHat’s CentOS changes, the community stepped in with Rocky & Alma Linux, and people formerly on CentOS had a pretty easy pathway out. Very likely something similar would happen with Fedora if things really went badly for whatever reason.

There is a growing sentiment that the US shouldn't be relied upon for the technologies that many people and businesses use every day.

While we prefer to focus on technical guarantees like strong end-to-end encryption over matters like jurisdiction, these issues still matter, and the United States certainly does not have a monopoly on the best technologies.

We've compiled a list of some of our favorite and highly recommended European privacy tools, to highlight how easy it can be to take your data back from American Big Tech companies: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/19/private-european-alternatives/
