Please stop with these useless articles. Yes, every world power likes gathering metadata. And no, USA is not a “better place” for metadata gathering.

Let me stop you right there: the chances of Jellyfin going rogue are much smaller. It’s libre software. It’s GPL. It’s copyleft. We are pretty much safe.

If somebody knows about a trusted tool for easy deletion of specific chunks of info from Facebook?

I would like to keep some stuff so no copycats can be made, but I’d like to delete things such as my “liked movies” and shit.

It’s pretty fair to dunk on Brave because it’s Chromium. I don’t want the biggest ad company in the world having the monopoly on how we see the Internet, and Brave perpetuates that.

You can skip that step. Not that it’s okay, tho.

Signal should work, at least through my experience. It would also serve as a chat and stories alternative.

Just a note, but there are many many more invidious instances.

Is TeleGuard libre software? If it’s not, which seems to be the case… Then NOBODY knows what TeleGuard does (aside from certain company members of course).

I would run in the other direction.

I wouldn’t honestly pay for an email service that does not allow for PGP encryption. Go for mailbox.org or posteo for true standard-respecting emails.

What I dislike about XMPP is that the client ecosystem is definitely weaker than DeltaChat. DeltaChat “just works”, and it works incredibly similar and efficient across devices.

But yes, I wouldn’t mind if the world used XMPP instead, honestly.

EVERYONE SHOULD DOWNLOAD SIGNAL for PHONE-NUMBER-based communication, tho. Proper RCS is not here yet (and won’t be in a long while), so let’s try to mobilize people to Signal.

DeltaChat is cooler for non-phone based communications, IMO, and decentralization makes it way sexier and worth this tradeoff.

Because if you pay, you can have as many Proton accounts as you please.

Check out Luanti. It used to be called Minetest. It’s a libre version of the same thing.

Tutanota is also german, if I am not mistaken.

If you want a compatible, interoperable email service, then Mailbox. Tutanota is a propietary, centralised email system.

Did you guys know Firefox is still libre software? 😱 Like, all data usage is verifiable 🤯, and you can easily configure it so it doesn’t call home… Right? 🥵

Every couple of months there is an alarmist trend to kill Firefox, and then it turns out Firefox stays as the big libre option that respects your privacy and fights for freedom.

I am not saying they will never fail. But they haven’t so far. And that’s what matters.

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.

I’m not so sure it was an organized attack or rather a 12 year old kid who found out a stupid way of accomplishing a stupid thing.

I don’t know if there were other things done, but those 2 words I’ve read are more like 2 words a non-native kid would use rather than a far right manifesto, AFAIK, 😅

I bricked a (very annoying) router trying to update its packages, so I am really looking forward for a sane package management system instead of the absolute manual mess it was before (and seems like still is).

Definitely firewall things. Do you connect your personal phone to your work’s Wi-Fi? I would really not.
