Sounds like a decent approach. Private by default but without taking away the freedom to interact with threads if so desired. At worst an inconvenience

Yes for all except youtube. I use frontends there. LBRY when feasible and there’s not a lot of content creators on PeerTube at least we got “The Linux Experiment”. PeerTube needs a monetization model imo (benefiting content creators and instance hosters). I wouldn’t mind paying a low fee for watching content for instance.

Personally waiting for the shiftphone 8. Fairphone 5 is also a possibility if you value ethics. These should be less bloated than most I believe. The pixel is nicer than most mainstream phones. As it just comes with the vendor who made Android and their proprietary bs instead of yet another layer. The best way to eliminate bloat is a custom rom. Pixel supports GrapheneOS and I believe all of them will be supported by CalyxOS. (They made a build for the newest released shiftphone)

Well someones gotta go first. Nah, I’m kidding and I get it. I tried it myself with Snapchat and Discord and it was a very slow and tedious process. But I got it done. Migrated to SMS for the people that refused to adopt a new platform and since SMS is …quite bad it does get easier to convince once you’re there. Feel somewhat guilty for bothering people but I sure don’t miss the old platforms. Good riddance.
I’m classifing pedophilia as a mental illness yes but transexuality and homosexuality is of course not. When I stated pedophillia I meant the sole attraction to children alone not actions that’s immoral and a crime. I want pedophiles to be able to address this early on and be able to seek treatment.
Also, what does my comment have to do with nazism at all? I am lib-left. “Smells like one”? For suggesting pedophiles should get mental help? Forgive me but is this a serious accusation or a joke that went past my head entirely?
Galaxy S10+ with Magisk + crDroid. It has signature spoofing which is nice for MicroG but I eventually uninstalled MicroG and replaced it with nothing.
To be more mainstream granted it isn’t because of a shitty locked down distro incompatible with the others.
What I love most abou Linux is its freedom. It doesn’t try screwing me over for their own benefit, gives me full control of the system and is broken down into components. Having the underlying system foss for many is great to provide and make it easier to adopt more ethical software for computing.
Hi, I’m thinking of building a personal website about tech, privacy, open source, etc. Any recommendations about where can I buy domain? .com is taken, but everything else is not. Shuld I take .tech (few dolars more expensive) or something more basic?
FlokiNET is what I use. They’re a bit more expensive than most (at least they don’t do the whois bs) but private (also based in Iceland which is a privacy plus) and do accept Monero. They’re not open-source and I do not know any that is but do utilize a good few open-source services. Great support and no bs so far. I’d recommed Njalla if even more privacy is worth the risk of losing your domain lease as it is made in their name.

Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations.

i use windows because its the only os i know how to use. i want to get into things like torrenting because free stuff is cool but im afraid to. ive heard of tails os, a os that boots from a flash drive, is that worth checking out or should i stick with windows?...
A “just works” distribution like Linux Mint is miles ahead compared to Windows and Tails OS is a step even further as it is only Live and routes everything through TOR.
Linux is not hard to be honest. Your main concern in difficulty is third-party software support. (Creative cloud and office 365 does not work for instance.)
If you want to try out any of these, just ask me if you need any help
What hardware would you recommend for AP’s and dedicated Firewalls? I really value open-source so bonus points if it works without blobs or the hardware is open or has available schematics....
Well If it did I don’t think LibreCMC would be much of a thing. (Linux-Libre OpenWRT to sum it up). But the officially supported hardware seems to be ThinkPenguin, and old APs which isn’t a very rich selection. Unfortunate but thats why I wondered if the Banana Pi would work since firmware is closely tied to hardware.

Biking is based. The benefits far outweight the cons compared to the other private transport we have today. I thought the hate was almost exclusive to cars from what I’ve seen which is understandable. At least in comparison to bikes.
I doubt what the dealer says is true. Intentionally or not. I don’t really believe cars do us much net good anyway. Public transport and biking/walking for the win.
The F-Droid app? Its not distributed on GPlat officialy. Could be a trojan. On an unrelated note I would say I trust F-Droid more than GPlay too. Don’t have GPlay or Aurora atm
I find this mildly infuriating, I only use Windows for work, I even personally purchased Windows 11. Local account and disabled as much as I could. I personally do not like Windows or Windows in general....
You could try dual booting to make the migration a little less extreme. I started that around the time Windows 11 came out and realized about a year later I don’t use Windows for personal stuff anymore. Windows is now gone and I do not really miss it.
Among other projects I belive is beneficial to the world. It’s Libre software and provides free (CC-by-SA) knowledge without making you a product. I only made a one time 3$ donation but I might donate more in the future.
