Elemental, my dear Watson

Better yet, mirror the Internet Archive, Anna’s Archive, and sci-hub.

That takes a rediculous amount of storage, though.

Wonder if there’s some kind of P2P backup a la IPFS

The vast majority of users exclusively stick to defaults.

Microsoft got in a lot of trouble in the 90s for simply including Internet Explorer in Windows, as it disincentivized people from installing a different web browser such as Netscape.

Whenever you try to install an apk with sideloading disabled, Android will prompt you with a popup that will take you directly to the setting you need to toggle to allow sideloading.

What is legally defined as personal data in this case? Public usernames, public posts, or private messages to another instance, which states clearly that messages aren’t private and to use Matrix instead? Or is there something else?

Well no. How is Google supposed to feed all your text messages into their AI for profit if they allow a choice?

How? I just read the full text of that website, and I couldn’t find any language in there that would harm the fediverse.

The CA Prop 65 warning is a perfect example of this. Most people just ignore it because it’s on everything (which probably isn’t inaccurate, especially when most products contain some type of plastic).

And only if it’s a damn fine cup of coffee.

I can use dd after running “lsdvd” on CSS protected DVDs.

I have no idea why it works.

Or just a really loud speaker

They never left, only shrank, but now they’re spreading and destroying everything around them… like cancer.

Yes

Privacytools.io actively promotes VPN services that advertise heavilly on YouTube, and have no good track record, like NordVPN (which is at the top of their list of VPNs), which leads me to believe that they are paid by NordVPN to promote their service.

Mullvad (the most trustworthy VPN IMO in terms of track record) is at the bottom of their list.

At the top of their main website, they also have Incogni as a recommendation with what looks to be a referral link. They also have a referral link for Startmail, Internxt (whatever that is), and probably others as well.

On their front page: “Sponsors can be exempted from the criteria.”

Anyone trying to recommend privacy services who also accept sponsorships are not trustworthy.

Also, on their crypto page, they recommend both AgoraDesk and LocalMonero, both of which shut down last year, which leads me to believe that some of their information is also out of date.

When I look at PrivacyGuides, I see none of these issues, so I recommend PrivacyGuides over ptio. In fact, on their VPN page, not only do they recommend relatively trustworthy VPNs, but they also have a big red warning about VPN usage and what to expect in terms of privacy that ptio does not have.

Yeah, I never really understood the term “TERF”, as their idiology is counter to that of any kind if feminism that I’ve ever seen, which is generally all about equality between genders.

The main thing you need to worry about in that case is the battery. It’s useful to have a built in UPS, but definitely keep an eye on it, especially after keeping it plugged in for long periods of time.

The Nazis were buried underground since the end of WWII until Gamergate due to the fact that being a Nazi was viewed as unacceptable in society.

yes. agreed. also, ugh. i’ll guarantee you whoever downvoted your post is some fucking theist.

Nah, just a pretentious person who’s calling other people pretentious because they don’t like who they are as a person and they take it out on others who do. No need to feed the troll.

The last point is just the paradox of tolerance. I don’t tolerate intolerance, although I am also a strictly non-violent person except for self defense. What does work is public pressure/shame, and imprisonment in the case that they commit crimes.

“Maybe Millenials should save money instead of spending it on avocado toast” was a very common sentiment at the time.

The meaning of life is very simple: life has no meaning unless you create meaning. What that meaning is is going to differ from person to person.

The meaning I give to my life is to do everything I can to further human knowledge and to learn as much as possible myself.

For other people, it could be exploring the world, finding inner peace, helping as many people as possible, gaining power/money by any means necessary, etc.

All valid, some more well-intentioned than others. IMO if your goal is to do good by yourself and/or to others without actively seeking to hurt others, there isn’t really a wrong answer.
