That’s bullshit.

A) Privacy =/= anonymity

B) They have usernames and the option to hide your number from searches for those interested.

C) Signal has absolutely no way of accessing any of your information: https://signal.org/bigbrother/ They publish all their subpoenas and there is no information that are able to collect. It’s all encrypted.

D) Phone numbers are an easy way onboard the normies and Meta addicts that don’t value privacy.

I would say the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss pilots were really solid and The Amazing Digital Circus is a mother standout.

An old pc running Linux mint and kodi is my current setup in the living room.

Don’t ever connect a “smart” tv to the internet. It’s only going to become shit and steal your data.

Why use Element for matrix?

From what I can tell it collets and links data to you: Location, identifiers and contact information.

How is that private or better than Signal?

People in abusive relationships often don’t know how to leave.

No. As someone who has uploaded my own images in hopes to sell them from a stock website. You do not get paid until someone purchases your pictures to use.

Now you can use stolen data to steal even more from creatives.

In currently planning on switching to Tuta as well. They have been the most recommended replacement since the proton incident.

Heya! I’m looking to get into self hosting. Any recommendations on good beginner tutorials or resources?

Fuck being more productive! Ai is capitalism maximizing productivity and minimizing labour costs.

Ai isn’t targeting tedious labour, the people building them are going after art, music and the creative process. They want to take the human out of the equation of pumping out more content to monetize.
