Very sadly DivestOS come to the end 😱😭
Anniversary and Final Update¶
Notes from Tavi
December marks 10 years of DivestOS!
There were over 7,000 git commits created in this time.
I believe the projects were highly successful in their goals, however this month will mark the end.
DivestOS and its apps will not receive any further updates.
Hypatia and Carrion will no longer receive database updates.
The non-mobile Divested projects (eg. Brace, D-WRT, real-ucode, and DNS blocklists) will continue to be maintained.
Most of our forum threads will be closed and the DivestOS XMPP chat rooms will also be turned off.
Donations will no longer be accepted and all recurring donations will be cancelled.
Thank you to all the users, contributors, and donors for this time. -Tavi

If you pick Gold over Bitcoin, you are going to lose massively in the next 5 years.
If you pick Stocks over Bitcoin, you are going to lose massively in the next 5 years.
If you pick Real Estate over Bitcoin, you are going to lose massively in the next 5 years.
You still may be rich.
Peter Schiff will still be rich.
But you will have missed the transition of #Bitcoin to the top asset class of all asset classes.
This will mainly happen, i expect, in the next 5 years.
It will be mainly driven by IBIT and MSTR.

📱 Netflix fined thanks to GDPR
The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) has fined Netflix €4.75 million for failing to provide sufficient information to its users about the use of their personal data between 2018 and 2020, thereby violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Although Netflix has since updated its privacy policy, it has denied the fine and is considering appealing it.
A company like this, with a turnover of billions and millions of customers around the world, has to adequately explain to its customers how it handles their personal data.

⏰ Arrested for her watch
Trail runner Tina Lewis was arrested in Goa, India, in early December 2024 for wearing a satellite-based GPS watch, a Garmin inReach Mini.
The problem is simple, the device was mistaken for a satellite phone, which are illegal in India under the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1933.
Lewis spent several days at the police station, was released on bail, and faced a court case that cost her thousands of dollars in fines and legal fees.
The incident served to highlight the common confusion between GPS devices and satellite phones, and how this can lead to arrests in India.

Seeker
A tool for creating fake web pages that request permission to access the user's geolocation. If the request is accepted, the attacker receives the exact coordinates of the device, such as longitude and latitude, as well as additional information, including the unique device ID, model, operating system, IP address, and other characteristics.
Unlike conventional geolocation methods that only use IP address and provide an approximate location, Seeker uses GPS data, which allows for more accurate information, especially on smartphones.

🤐 Censorship for those who are uncomfortable?
The Spanish government is preparing a new law that will force users considered "relevant" on social networks to rectify false or inaccurate information they publish.
This legislation, in the draft phase, extends the 1984 law, originally designed for traditional media, to now include influencers and other users with a wide reach on digital platforms.
The Government wants to fight against "professional hoaxers".

-I would just like to say... How many times has an "official" or "real" story been subsequently denied?-

El Gobierno obligará a rectificar a usuarios
El Ejecutivo cambia la ley de 1984 y apunta, entre otras cosas, a "usuarios de especial relevancia", fijando el umbral en 100.000 seguidores.
Illusion of Freedom
"When governments intervene in markets, they repeat the mistakes the countries of Eastern Europe made in the latter half of the 20th century. High taxes on competing goods is a form of indirect subsidy too. It's impossible to calculate the total damages taxation and inflation have done to society.
But think of it this way: If you're in a so-called laissez-faire country, your total taxes might look something like this:
25% income tax, 25% social-security contributions, and other taxes your employer pays. Even before we start adding hidden costs, that's about 50%.
Add a VAT adjusted for certain goods with extra taxes, like fuel for your car... That's an additional 25% of whatever you had left. So, in total, 62.5%. Make that 65% to compensate for every other tax we didn't include. Now add a best-case scenario of 5% inflation rate.
Congratulations, you live in a "free country", and you're 70% a slave."

Indian uncles treat buying a car as the ultimate life achievement.
They’ll talk about it endlessly, making others feel like their lives are wasted.
I’ve seen it in my family.

📱 Unlocking and infecting a journalist's phone
Serbian police used a Cellebrite device to unlock the mobile phone of a journalist, Slaviša Milanov, and then infect it with malware. This allowed access to his phone and the installation of surveillance software.
Milanov was arrested in Pirot, Serbia, where police confiscated his phone, laptop and camera, claiming they only wanted to check his documents. However, after more than an hour, and without following clear legal procedures, officers used a Cellebrite device to extract data from his phone.
Upon returning the phone to Milanov, he noticed odd things, such as mobile data and Wi-Fi being disabled, and apps draining excessive battery power. He used the Stay Free app to monitor the phone's usage, discovering that several apps had been active during the time his device was with police, suggesting malware had been installed.
The Amnesty International report also mentions that, together with Google researchers, they discovered a vulnerability in a wide range of Android phones that Cellebrite was exploiting. This vulnerability has since been patched by Qualcomm, the affected chipmaker, and Google has remotely removed the spyware from infected devices.
Cellebrite said it is investigating the allegations and is prepared to terminate relationships with any agency that has used its technology inappropriately.
