Always. Everything besides the cell tower connection happens wired. No Bluetooth or WiFi .

What’s an O-counter?

From their point of view, blocking ads probably equals fraud.

Can’t fix everything, but Google drive is easily replaced by proton drive. Google notes/keep or any kind of note taking is easily replaced (and improved) by Obsidian, and on android you can install f-droid as an alternative store.

Downside is that these thinks cost money. But everything has a cost, and at least here the cost is clear, and upfront.

Yeah that was an instant purchase. Thanks OP!

It needs an account to be fully readable

why nvida sprecifically?

I get that. I’m all for viewing then with suspicion. Rightly and justifiably so. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram except for contained osint work. I value privacy and understand it’s importance.

But I’m personally not in favour of wildly quarantining every instance that doesn’t fully block them before I have had more time to understand the risks and options here. And I think a lot of people here don’t do. Not really. In that regard its just classic social media with people stoking each others fears and feasting on it.

And I guess a lot of people are here, fresh from reddits corporate ego trip only to immediately feel the worry of their next digital home inevitably meeting the same fate. I think that fresh trauma is directing a lot of the current discourse here. And I think it would be wise to revisit the subject again when we’ve settled and understand our new surroundings more.

tl;dr: don’t trust facebook, but also don’t burn half the street down because they bought a mansion down the lane.

Im not going to deny the threat of Extend/Embrace/Extinguish, but everyone defederating now, and threatening to defederate all other instances that dont do so as well, comes across as an incredible hasty and mostly an emotionally driven decision.

That would be now

Napoleon wasnt all that bad of a choice to back though. His decisions did a lot of lasting good.

Having backed Robespierre though must have made a lot of people feel really silly about themselves.
