Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

I am confident in not giving a damn about Winpoop or iFruit and will stick to Linux instead!

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.

For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.

I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/

At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#

Figure out which politicians are behind this.
And throw them out,
since they are trying to take away your rights (to privacy).

They are looking to apply mass surveillance upon you guys wrapped into a “For the kids safety” package as usual…

Thank you for sharing that link.
And man happy to be on tchncs lately! :D

Hope my and other instances will de-federate from Threads/Meta.

We don’t need that spyware giant in the fediverse…

You can try to convince the Discord server moderators to bridge their servers to Matrix with something like T2Bot:
https://t2bot.io/discord/

That’s what I did when I was running a Discord server,
worked nicely in both directions.

I want HP to shove it where the sun don’t shine :)

I never heard about Threema before,
quickly glanced at it’s Github repo,
but I think I prefer Matrix/Element over it.

Threema seems to largely rely om GMS (Google Messaging Service),
meaning that most messages will go through Google’s servers,
albeit end-to-end encrypted for now,
I would not be suprised if Google would participate in “Harvest now, Decrypt later”.

Wasn’t aware of that, would love to hear about it if someome could shine some more light onto the matter :)

If that’s the case, I have to stop using/recommending Session

Sign-up still requires a phone number… -.-"

Checkout Matrix/Element or Session,
there you can actually enjoy privacy by signing-up without a phone number/email:

• https://matrix.org/
• https://element.io/
• ~~https://getsession.org/~~

Edit: Due to Session’s company residing in Australia,
which appareantly has bad privacy laws,
i don’t feel comfortable with recommending it anymore

🤢🤮

Say no to CBDCs! (Central Bank Digital Currencies)

They go directly against all the core principles of crypto!

Which is to take away the power of centralized abusing parties (who slowly steal the value of our current FIAT currencies through deficit spending + fractional banking) and put them back in the hands of the people through a fair de-centralized system (which should not allow for deficit spending, nor fractional banking, and respects your privacy on top)

I highly recommend to read more about the risks of CBDCs here: https://www.cato.org/study/risks-of-cbdcs

Aurora Store can be installed on any Android OS, even stock ones :)

Now finalize it by:

1. Requesting data exports of all they have on you
2. Deleting all data you can on your account
3. Deleting your actual Google account

Did that a few years ago, no regrets :)

My hate for Google grows by the day.

Sugar, Salt, Fat, the perfect ingredients,
to cultivate obese addicts with failing kidneys.

But you’re “loving it” right?
Same as I, why would that be?.. :)

You’re both kinda right afaik.

MicroG reverse engineered, and re-written as much as possible from GApps libraries, from the ground up, as open source software.

These re-implementations are as light weight and privacy respecting as possible on your local device,
however the same does not count for the Google servers it communicates with (if you choose to enable them).

For SafetyNet attestation, a proprietary, isolated, DroidGuard blob is downloaded (if you choose to enable it).
