There is also that french privacy advocate Christophe Boutry who got his Qonto account closed because he talked badly about Pallantir and Thiel is a big investor in Qonto.

Setting a factory in France is a hostile activity too?

I guess using Olvid is terrorism.

As Stallman said: " it’s free as in Free speech not as in Free beer".

Money in FOSS keeps projects going.

But as another said: in the case of LLM agents, monetisation is a way to get the automated skimming out of their lives. It eats resources, time, causes havoc on hosts…

This is in the US, in a lot of countries, even in EU ones, refusing to reveal your password is used as part of the case against you (not as proof but as a suspicious attitude that can, combined with other facts, bring a certainty of culpability).

So be careful and check out your local laws before following US laws concerning this.

That was then, now they are very pro FANGS and removing all barriers because they are afraid of tariffs and want the US to keep selling them weapons for Ukraine.

RMS warned of this a bit over 20 years ago. This is why you should get Free and Open source software and not Open Source Software. Preferably with a GPL licence which allows you to download, run, read the code, modify it and share it. Open source can mean you only have the right to read the code and signal to the dev code you’ve saw that could have been better or errors you saw.

Usually, the company you bought the domain from sends a e-mail once a year to ask you to verify the WHOIS information is correct.

It doesn’t go any further than that if your just hosting nextcloud, a DNS, a blog.

If the website is used to break the law, then that email is contacted, if the email is non respondant, the email provider is asked for IP adress at the time of the last connection, if ISP: you get contacted, if VPN provider: IP at plan subscription or last connection etc. until they can reach an ISP. Then you get contacted.

“Just a tuta email” … Tuta nota is a serious email provider.

Wasn’t a false equivalence. You are twisting shit around to defend yourself in quite a telling way .

Have a great day, and get of screens for a while, it’ll do you good.

Fascists thrive on a fragmented information space. By not verifying your sources, you participate to this fragmentation and therefore the dilution of truth in the sea of lies.

You even use the same line of defense as the trump fans :" I didn’t know it was a joke and immigrants don’t eat pets."

You are part of the pro fascist movement if you spread disinformation, especially on political takes. No matter the side.

There is a location module in microg’s git repository that can work as a standalone (so without the main microg app) to enable other A-GPS sources (quite a few allow on device antenna database storage), you would find them using “NLP” in f-droid.

It’s Thunderbird… Of course they release the code! How would it even exist without releasing the code?

BTW: K-9 is also Thunderbird.

The problem is when you try to understand the other side, you have to hear them.

There are a quite a few cases with anguished parents trying to move some loved child out of a sect (Scientology, the Family etc.) ending up brainwashed.

It’s sandboxed as a user app, the goal being that you can plug it’s inputs so the outputs are less talkative to Google’s servers, it will still call home until you remove its network permissions, but then notifications don’t work.

I understand it makes things easy. I’m not a fan of that though. I know if you send mail from your new address to someone using gmail, google will get that address. But the robots have to then create a new advertising profile corresponding to that address and that profile is empty . If you tell google send it all to this new address, then google can already stuff the profile of your new address with the info from your gmail account. (And no: robots are stupid because there are hundreds of new emails created every second, they don’t understand that name.surname@gmail.com = name.surname@anyothermail.com)

You have to change one after the other the emails in each important account you have (friends, family, employer, governmental agencies, ethical brands) and keep the ones you suspect of being sellers of your ID have the now secondary gmail one.

No. Add your own suggestions as an answer to the superthread, maybe with the website, github etc… And a short description.

Paid builds. You get Access to the source code but you can either build yourself or pay a small amount to have a packaged built and updated whenever.

I also like the twice a year nag screen thunderbird or Wikipedia uses (KDE was right to start doing it too, in my books).

I don’t believe a small donate button in the “about” section of the settings screen is of any use.
