💻 🙍‍♀️ Je cherche un ordi pour ma maman, et le maître mot de cet achat c'est : *Ordi portable robuste*. Je crois me souvenir que les Thinkpad sont cools car ont des pièces facilement démontables, est-ce que vous avez d'autres marques à me recommander ?

There's now a French version of switching.social at:

It's still a work in progress so please do give feedback to its maintainer @albakham

Also, @marianom is working on an Italian version at:

Israeli espionage firm hacks WhatsApp. Can install spyware with missed call.

My advice: dump WhatsApp today and start using Wire (https://wire.com/en/products/personal-secure-messenger/). Tell your friends and family to do the same. (It’s a simple, free download on all app stores. Easy to use, doesn’t require your phone number, and their business model is based on charging for commercial use and for pro accounts.)

Hello WordPress users,

Do you know sources of good privacy-friendly themes for WordPress? (i.e. without any trackers)

(It's possible to remove trackers manually, but this is a request for themes that respect privacy by default.)
