Don't laugh.

At least until April 2019 you can't use #office365 in a #GDPR compliant way, it leaks email subjects, text of documents & more to US servers according to an audit by the Dutch government. Time for #selfhosting!

Another #Facebook (kind of..) #securityBreach. I’ve lost the count of them this year.
I must said that I’ve removed from my phone and occasionally visit once every 1-2 month in the web for the last 6. Only missed a few no-so-important birthday. Beyond that, pure shit content.
