Honestly I hate all these file sharing self hosting things. Looking at you nextcloud owncloud syncthing seafile etc. They all suck. All I want is NFS support in android, that’s my only pain point accessing my files from anywhere from my home network. I can already VPN/wireguard into my network from anywhere, but I can’t grab an ebook or mp3s off my NFS server from my phone or tablet, I have to have some other dumb infrastructure for it. Just (#@$^* put NFS in android already!!!

Data copied from devices during advanced searches at entry points into the U.S. gets saved for 15 years in a database searchable by thousands of CBP employees without a warrant.

There is very little to reason to believe that any data copied by agencies like this is deleted ever. You should assume any data copied like this is kept forever, shared between agencies and corporate contractors, compiled into various databases and lists, used to train shady security contractor AI systems.

There are no comprehensive federal data privacy laws in the United States, and even if we get one in the future, it probably won’t apply to security agencies.

Option #4: nuke BS intellectual property laws that enable rent seeking US firms.

Cory Doctorow has a policy proposal for Canada or any other countries that want to respond to US tariffs. The tldr; is make it legal to jailbreak your devices, so companies can sell aftermarket kits to do things like install a Canadian (or EU) app store on your iphone and cut out Apple’s US 30% cut on all app purchases. Make it so any mechanic anywhere can jailbreak your Tesla or tractor or whatever to enable all your car’s paid subscription features permanently and for free, etc.

Strike directly at the big American tech companies that prop up the stock market.
