CHATONS est le Collectif des Hébergeurs Alternatifs, Transparents, Ouverts, Neutres et Solidaires. Ce collectif vise à rassembler des structures proposant des services en ligne libres, éthiques et décentralisés afin de permettre aux utilisateur⋅ices de trouver rapidement des alternatives respectueuses de leurs données et de leur vie privée aux services proposés par les GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft).

We would not leave users on proprietary solutions like Google Docs or Microsoft Office 365 without an alternative.

Murena Workspace is your complete, fully deGoogled, online ecosystem!

Since it was first released there has been widespread concern about Windows 10's data collection, as the operating system collects various kinds of data and sends it back to Microsoft. The company says it uses this information to determine how well systems are running and get a heads up on problems that users are facing. Telemetry isn't new to Windows, but prior to Windows 10 it was always opt-in, through schemes such as the Customer Experience Improvement Program and Windows Error Reporting. If you didn't want to send anything, you could turn it all off.

Third-party tracking is becoming a prevalent practice in mobile app ecosystems. While providing benefits for app developers, this practice also introduces several privacy issues for end-users. The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive (ePD) mandate that mobile apps must obtain user consent before sharing users’ personal data with third-party trackers. This work presents an empirical study investigating the compliance of 400 popular mobile apps (200 Android apps and their corresponding version for iOS) with the ePD and GDPR requirements on valid consent.

εxodus analyses Android applications. It looks for embedded trackers and lists them. A tracker is a piece of software meant to collect data about you or what you do. In a way, εxodus reports are a way of knowing what really are the ingredients of the cake you are eating. εxodus does not decompile applications, its analysis technique is entirely legal.

Sur Internet, utiliser un logiciel privateur1 n'est pas le seul moyen de perdre votre liberté informatique. Il existe une autre façon de donner à un tiers du pouvoir sur votre informatique : le « service se substituant au logiciel », ou SaaSS.

Le point essentiel est que vous pouvez avoir le contrôle d'un programme écrit par quelqu'un d'autre (s'il est libre), mais que vous ne pouvez pas avoir le contrôle d'un service administré par quelqu'un d'autre. Donc n'utilisez jamais un service lorsqu'en principe l'exécution d'un programme ferait l'affaire.

There are a lot of home/ SMB server users out there who need large amounts of storage. Others simply need a server to run a WiFi AP controller, a VoIP solution, and a few other services/ development VMs. While there are some that need massive compute and memory footprints in single machines, there are others that prefer building smaller clusters. Project TinyMiniMicro is not for everyone, but many of our users are going to be wowed by the results. .

Piracy explores the intellectual property wars from the advent of print culture in the fifteenth century to the reign of the Internet in the twenty-first. Brimming with broader implications for today’s debates over open access, fair use, free culture, and the like, Johns’s book ultimately argues that piracy has always stood at the center of our attempts to reconcile creativity and commerce—and that piracy has been an engine of social, technological, and intellectual innovations as often as it has been their adversary.
From Cervantes to Sonny Bono, from Maria Callas to Microsoft, from Grub Street to Google, no chapter in the story of piracy evades Johns’s graceful analysis in what will be the definitive history of the subject for years to come.
