Creator: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jp5y0p/i_made_an_app_to_scan_barcode_and_get_the_true/

I have created an app that allows to scan barcode and get the origin of the brands (with information about parent holding company if any). It also suggest EU alternatives for the product scanned.

There is already more than 1.1m product in the databases and 140k brands (out of ~150k) analyzed. The analysis is made by automatic crawlers, so there might get issue regarding that, do not hesitate to report it. Data are coming from the great OpenFoodFacts database.

Play Store (Android): Productr

Currently there is no iOS one, ~~I might create one if people are interested in the app (as App Store pricing is high, I prefer to check if people like the app before paying the fee)~~. EDIT: As a few people is requesting it and are interested, I will proceed to App Store submission for iOS version and pay the required fee. I will keep people informed about that. It should take a few days, the time I get a mac, release app and going through the validation process of Apple (it takes 48hr according to internet, so let's see if it's that fast).

I will publish a web version soon that will allow to use the app without installing it (either android or iOS).

Enjoy ! 🇪🇺

EDIT: Some more information. Cosmetic products are also available on it, but database is quite limited currently and brand crawling has just started. I plan to expand database in upcoming days.

Pet food products should be added soon too

All bakeries in Gaza have been forced to close down due to Israel’s blockade on food and essentials.

“Bakeries will no longer operate until the [Israeli] occupation opens the crossings and allows the necessary supplies to enter.”

The WFP supports the running of 18 bakeries in the enclave. Their closures will worsen a starvation and malnutrition crisis that has devastated Gaza’s two million residents.

Have you ever been afraid to speak your mind on the internet? Do you have peace of mind that you know what your electronics are doing? Is technology working for and empowering you, or has it become a tool of oppression tracking your every move and storing it on corporate/government servers to be used against you in the future?

These powerful tech companies work closely with our fascist government to surveil, track, manipulate, and scare vulnerable citizens into compliance and silence. We have been tricked into giving up all control and privacy for the sake of convenience.

This is no accident.

The state has the most sophisticated surveillance network ever known, and you are voluntarily participating in it.

The phones Americans carry in their pockets are proprietary black boxes, constantly communicating with cell towers logging your position and IMEI/IMSI tied to your real identity. They are also constantly recording the strength of wifi access points, and other devices around you, sending this back to HQ to build a map of everyone's movements. This is not even mentioning how most people are logged into a google/apple account at all times. You probably know this costs you YOUR privacy, but do you realize you are also snitching on everyone around you and contributing to this surveillance network?

Ask yourself how you feel about this? How much would freedom, privacy, and anonymity be worth to you? Many realize the situation is dire, but are preoccupied with trying to survive the next rent payment, and are do not have the knowledge necessary to resist.

Those organizing in the US (50501) overwhelmingly are using reddit and discord to plan protests. A few who know better use signal and consider this good enough, not thinking about how they are linked to a phone number. Signal is secure and private, but when your adversary is the US gov/tech corps that is not enough. We need ANONYMITY.**

Phone Numbers are incompatible with Anonymity: http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/phonenumbers/index.html

"Laws" and "rights" are meaningless now. If the state deems you an enemy they have hundreds of ways to crush you into submission, throw you in prison, or worse. Things will only get worse over the coming years. The only hope we have is to maintain real anonymity

Here on Lemmy many are curious about digital privacy, but only have bits and pieces of the knowledge required. Without a solid understanding of how to use technology safely, misinformation, half truths, and FUD abound. There is a pervasive attitude that you have no choice at all, and that it is hopeless to stand up against your oppressors.

I am here to tell you this is NOT TRUE. I am here to tell you it is POSSIBLE, and WORTHWHILE.

You can reclaim technology to work for you instead of against you, but it will require effort and change.

Using Lemmy anonymously Is not too hard. You just need to register an email account in tor browser, and use that to verify a lemmy account. Be sure to ONLY access this account over Tor. The more privacy invasive the service, the more likely they will try to prevent you from doing this. Circumventing that is an advanced topic for another time.

How long until similar demands are made of others? Every day the risk grows greater and less possible to ignore. The time to wise up is now! Start learning and investing in yourself today so that you can be prepared to protect yourself and those you care about before it is too late.

In this technocracy lines are being drawn. They are wielding technology to oppress and control us, and we need to decide if we are subservient data cattle, or if we are willing to learn how to use technology to empower ourselves and resist.

The relationship between average people and technology is unacceptable. Even those with advanced "tech skills" know next to nothing about how to maintain security/privacy/anonymity against the state. It does not have to be this way.

You deserve better. The people in your life deserve better. They NEED you to educate yourself so you can help teach them. The only way we can do this is together. The time for learning is limited and the clock is ticking.

It's time to decide. Will you allow these corporations to own you, or will you rise to the challenge?

**When law enforcement subpeonas Signal for user information, all they hand over is the phone number associated with the account, and the last time they logged in. Due to the secure end to end encryption the contents of the messages are safe. No problem right? Well the cell phone number and associated metadata is more than enough for them to prosecute, imprison, and kill. Which cell towers has this phone number been around? What other numbers has it been communicating with and when? How is this cell service paid for?

It is not impossible to circumvent these issues, for instance by paying for a jmp.chat phone number with monero XMR. In this case you don't actually have the sim, but rather access it remotely over XMPP. If you do this over Tor very little can be used against you.

Ask yourself though, how many signal users actually go through these lengths? These phone numbers change law enforcement investigations from stumped, to having valuable leads and evidence. What motivations could signal have for requiring this valuable personally identifying information to be shared?

If a service requires your phone number, they are against your Anonymity http://blog.nowherejezfoltodf4jiyl6r56jnzintap5vyjlia7fkirfsnfizflqd.onion/opsec/phonenumbers/index.html

TL;DR: Self-Driving Teslas Rear-End Motorcyclists, Killing at Least 5

Brevity is the spirit of wit, and I am just not that witty. This is a long article, here is the gist of it:

• The NHTSA’s self-driving crash data reveals that Tesla’s self-driving technology is, by far, the most dangerous for motorcyclists, with five fatal crashes that we know of.
• This issue is unique to Tesla. Other self-driving manufacturers have logged zero motorcycle fatalities with the NHTSA in the same time frame.
• The crashes are overwhelmingly Teslas rear-ending motorcyclists.

Read our full analysis as we go case-by-case and connect the heavily redacted government data to news reports and police documents.

Oh, and read our thoughts about what this means for the robotaxi launch that is slated for Austin in less than 60 days.

This rule has frequently been broken in the past, and is still being breached, according to the sources.

Since the boundaries between what constitutes work "necessary and directly linked" to the role of MEP, and what does not, are not crystal clear, “local assistants” often perform duties that are not strictly related to the MEP’s activity in the Parliament. 

“Some MEPs employ local politicians doing political activity in their constituency,” said one source in the Parliament, speaking freely on the basis of anonymity. “Then their calls and meetings are twisted to be reported as related, in one way or another, to the MEP’s parliamentary mandate," this source added.

Sometimes, this practice is revealed and has resulted in several episodes of embezzlement and misuse of funds in the last years.

The date it posted on this site doesn't convince me it is a joke, and even if it is, it's not funny.

The European Union’s new research chief Ekaterina Zaharieva speaks to Nature about attracting disaffected US scientists and cutting grant bureaucracy.

Finland will begin the process of withdrawing from the Ottawa Treaty banning anti-personnel landmines and significantly increase defence spending over the next four years.

Prime Minister Petteri Orpo announced the decision at a government press conference on Tuesday. The move would reverse Finland’s 2012 accession to the international treaty and allow the return of landmines to national defence planning.

Is this gaslighting?
