Paco Hope #resist<p>I don't know if anybody else is affected by <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> killing <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Skype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Skype</span></a>, but I have a Skype number that I've used for like 15 years. I like it. A buddy of mine runs "<a href="https://www.tossabledigits.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TossableDigits</a>" and they can port that number out of Skype. I get get SMSs on it, do call forwarding or voicemail, and even use an API to make changes to how it behaves.</p><p>The other common use case for this is for people that want to give out disposable numbers. You can get a number, use it a while, then throw it away.</p><p>All based in the US, and they don't make any super special guarantees about privacy. So I'm not sure it's great if you want throwaway numbers for dubious purposes. But women who don't want to give out their real number to men they just met is a good use case. Or maybe even an on-call rota so that the on-call number is always the same, but forwards to whomever is on-call. APIs would let you do that automatically.</p><p>Just thought I'd share. I don't get any commissions or anything.</p>

Till Westermayer<p><strong>Kurz: Der langsame Abschied von den US-Plattformen</strong></p><p></p><p>Während die vergangenen Kontoauszüge von Bestellungen bei Amazon (vieles E‑Books, aber auch anderes, von Klamotten und Spielen bis hin zu Haushaltsgeräten) nur so wimmelten, finden sich im März nur noch zwei Amazon-Buchungen – noch nutze ich Amazon Prime und einen Videokanal*. Dass das so ist, war eine halbbewusste Entscheidung; ein Unterbrechen der eingeübten Praktiken beim Online-Bestellen, in zweierlei Hinsicht: einmal, darüber nachzudenken, ob ich Was-Auch-Immer wirklich haben will, und einmal, um es dann eben nicht bei Amazon zu bestellen, sondern zu gucken, ob das Ding auch anderswo im Netz zu finden ist. Und meistens ist das so.</p><p>Schwer fällt mir dieser Abschied von „der“ Online-Handelsplattform vor allem in einem Punkt: bei digitalen Büchern. Hier habe ich noch keinen guten Workflow gefunden, um englischsprachige Werke anderswo zu bestellen und zu lesen. Ein Versuch, ein SF-Buch über Google Books zu kaufen, endete damit, dass sich das gekaufte Buch weder auf dem PC noch auf einem der Mobilgeräte öffnen lässt, weil irgendwelche Kopierschutzregeln es verhindern. Und eigentlich würde ich gerne die beiden Kindle-Lesegeräte, die hier rumschwirren, weiter nutzen. Vorerst behelfe ich mir, erst einmal keine neuen Bücher zu kaufen (es gibt noch sehr viel ungelesene in diversen Stapeln), bzw. im Zweifel auf auch über andere Plattformen erhältliche gedruckte Fassungen auszuweichen. Auf die Dauer ist das aber keine Lösung. Wenn also jemand einen erprobten Weg kennt, digitale Bücher ohne Amazon zu erwerben und zu lesen, nehme ich hinweise gerne entgegen (und ja, theoretisch ließe sich Calibre als Client-Server-System aufsetzen, das mir momentan aber noch zu kompliziert …). </p><p>Deutlich schwieriger als der Abschied von Amazon sieht es bei den anderen Plattformen aus. Na gut, Twitter/X hat mich rausgeworfen, seitdem habe ich keinerlei Lust verspürt, dahin noch einmal zurückzukehren. Bei Meta nutze ich Facebook (und Instagram für den grünen Ortsverband, und Whatsapp für ein paar wenige Kontakte). Microsoft wird mit Windows 11 und Copilot, mit Abo-Modellen für MS Office etc. zunehmend unattraktiv, noch läuft auf einem meiner beiden privaten Rechner aber Windows, und auf dem Dienstlaptop eh – da habe ich aber keinen Einfluss drauf. Dito das Diensthandy, das das ganze Apple-Ökosystem hinter sich herzieht. Ganz schwierig sieht’s bei Paypal und bei Google aus, da sehe ich noch keine wirklich gute Alternative für die Art, wie ich deren Produkte aktuell nutze. Auch da: gerne Tipps in den Kommentaren!</p><p><em>* Es wäre großartig, wenn Star Trek sich entscheiden könnte, über eine andere Plattform als Paramount+ via Amazon Prime verfügbar zu sein. </em> </p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/amazon/" target="_blank">#amazon</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/apple/" target="_blank">#apple</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/buecher/" target="_blank">#bücher</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/boykott/" target="_blank">#boykott</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/calibre/" target="_blank">#calibre</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/donald-trump/" target="_blank">#donaldTrump</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/ebooks/" target="_blank">#ebooks</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/facebook/" target="_blank">#facebook</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/google/" target="_blank">#google</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/kindle/" target="_blank">#kindle</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/meta/" target="_blank">#meta</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/microsoft/" target="_blank">#microsoft</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/open-source/" target="_blank">#openSource</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/pfadabhangigkeit/" target="_blank">#pfadabhängigkeit</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/plattformen/" target="_blank">#plattformen</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/science-fiction/" target="_blank">#scienceFiction</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/star-trek/" target="_blank">#starTrek</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://blog.till-westermayer.de/index.php/tag/usa/" target="_blank">#usa</a></p>
