With anti-libre software, we are not users, we are used.

autonomoususer,

No voice chat.

autonomoususer,

They’ll never ban Instagram, Discord or iOS, pathetic.

We don’t control Kaspersky, iOS, anti-libre software (it fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL), dangerous. 🚩

autonomoususer,

I’ll make a point to not buy…

Too lazy to do anything that actually fixes it, cope.

autonomoususer,

Obviously, which 🤡 had to wait for him to tell them?

autonomoususer,

Do they really think we believe any of their lies? We don’t control macOS, iOS, anti-libre software (it fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL). Dangerous! 🚩

autonomoususer, (edited )

They control it, not us. It’s anti-libre, dangerous.

autonomoususer,

macOS is proprietary.

autonomoususer,

Which lines of its libre software source code are malicious?

autonomoususer,

A libre software license.

autonomoususer, (edited )

So, what should we use?

autonomoususer, (edited )
  • SimpleX is libre software and the most decentralised voice chat here.
  • Briar is libre and the most decentralised but is missing voice chat.
  • XMPP and Matrix are libre software and federated/decentralised. XMPP servers use far less resources, so creates more decentralisation than Matrix in practice.
  • Signal is libre and more popular but centralised, acceptable.
  • Avoid Threema’s app which requires a service as a software substitute.

Thanks, updated!

My friends knew I was using it. I said why with very simple words, focused on freedom and abuse over side effects, privacy and security, and they joined. I guess having friends who actually respect you helps a lot.

autonomoususer,

GDPR has never stoped them breaking laws. Fines are the cost of doing business. When we give anti-libre software our data, it’s game over.

autonomoususer,

So, they already did it. This will never bring our data back.

42 key points of the secret #EUGoingDark surveillance plan for the new EU Commission (www.patrick-breyer.de)

After Sunday‘s European elections, the EU is planning to reintroduce indiscriminate communications data retention without suspicion and force manufacturers to allow law enforcement access to digital devices such as smartphones and cars....

autonomoususer,

They attack us again and again, so stopping this does not go far enough. We must create laws to destroy their privacy.

autonomoususer,

Any libre software with voice chat more decentralised than this?

autonomoususer,

WARNING Anti-libre software, FUTO Keyboard and Google Play, bans us from removing malicious source code.

autonomoususer,

You’re a bit late.

autonomoususer,

What evidence?

autonomoususer,

Don’t waste time your life on harm reduction over solving the root, removing Discord completely.

autonomoususer,

You don’t know how to post from an alt account?

autonomoususer, (edited )

Worse, anti-libre software, Discord, bans us from proving it’s claims, if it ever claims privacy, security, anything.

autonomoususer, (edited )

I would invest more into stopping ‘friends’ encourging me to get abused than micro-optimising the malware infecting me. Not saying don’t break it down into steps.

autonomoususer, (edited )

🚩 Anti-libre software bans us from proving it’s claims. This is worse, service as a software substitute.

autonomoususer, (edited )

Libre software and more decentralised than Signal but less than SimpleX.

autonomoususer,

Good defaults help spread libre software, privacy.

autonomoususer,

SimpleX is libre software and decentralised, the most decentralised voice chat here, so why spread anything else?

autonomoususer, (edited )

Libre software, WordPress, can’t bans us from removing malicous source code. Medium is service as a software substitute. If you don’t want AI reading your text, don’t share it.

autonomoususer,

Firefox ia 64 bit now, so there is no point in Waterfox.

What cloud vps server host do I use?

What cloud VPS host is the best for privacy and security? I want to self host stuff for myself some tools. Mental Outlaw make a video last year about self hosting your own VPN with a service called Vultr but back in December vultr added to their TOS that they own what you host and a bunch of other scary stuff. So I don’t trust...

autonomoususer, (edited )

Run a home server and VPN to it through a VPS if needed, so they see nothing. E2EE everything.

autonomoususer,

Use Monero.

autonomoususer,

Convert Bitcoin on a DEX.

autonomoususer,

No StarLite? Librem 11

autonomoususer,

Wrong, anti-libre software, WhatsApp, bans us from proving it’s claims (E2EE claims lies), bans us from removing malicous source code. It is vulerable hostile by design.

autonomoususer,

We can’t prove what they do on their devices. We encrypt.

autonomoususer, (edited )

Spreading libre software will bring more privacy than micromanaging browser config ever will. Report issues to get defaults fixed and don’t waste your life reinventing.

autonomoususer,

Best libre replacements?

autonomoususer, (edited )

Only works because these cars come infected with anti-libre software by design (bans us from removing malicious source code) because people don’t see this attack. Target anti-libre multiplayer software, file formats (Microsoft Office/Photoshop), socials (YouTube -> NewPipe) and chat (WhatsApp/Discord). This is the best ROI to create openings to blackpill normies on anti-libre software.

autonomoususer, (edited )

Yes, those laws don’t work, libre software does.

Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology

I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...

autonomoususer,

Offline anti-libre software still bans us from removing malicious source code.

autonomoususer, (edited )

I swore I’d never pay for a video game again

The libre software too?

go back to investing more time, money, and energy into things that aren’t connected to the internet

They’ll obviously win when we run away. We should take the fight to them.

autonomoususer, (edited )

Target Discord first. Games are non-essentials. Discord is a tool, beyond any one game, used beyond gaming. Don’t destroy your influence, don’t leave the conversation, don’t leave Steam just yet but use it strategically (and GOG Galaxy isn’t even for Linux).

Tech savvy people aren’t going to come and join our friends and join our family. For libre software by default, we must act.

autonomoususer,

It exposes their priorities.

autonomoususer, (edited )

GOG spreads anti-libre software, like Steam, but do they contribute to libre operating system software?

autonomoususer,

Because we keeping saying Signal and Telegram instead of Anti-Libre Software, Service as a Software Substitute, and Centralised.

We should reach them in their spaces, moding, hacking, piracy and beginner programming channels.

autonomoususer,

Anti-libre software, WhatsApp, bans us from proving it has E2EE, bans us from proving any of its claims and bans us from removing malicious source code.

autonomoususer, (edited )

‘Open source’ misses the point of libre software.
