Would rather drive a rust bucket. I do drive a rust bucket. I’m not affraid of scratching it. I don’t feel I have to always keep it pristine clean. I’m not affraid of working on it myself. I’m not being charged robbed subscriptions for equipment already installed. I’m not wondering wether I’m being tracked by sick fucking creeps.

Some of us don’t base their buying off of stupid ads. Why can’t we just be left alone. At this point I’m just basing on if I have any money left after going to the gas pump.

A knowledgeable people is a free people. No system of government EVER would allow or encourage it.

Gee think long and hard about this.

Coming soon, from the directors of ChatControl. WeDiddleKidsAct.

I just do it all in my openwrt router now. Set up any DoH (https-dns-proxy) or DoT (stubby) with DNSSEC, plus blocklists with adblock-fast.

Hagezi has some servers with default blocking https://github.com/hagezi/dns-servers

https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists#dnsservices

I was liking NextDNS, they have good features, and I liked not having to maintain blocklist files with shady domains in plain text saved in my hardware, but their jurisdiction and their code being closed source made me reevaluate.

oh they were circumventing the precious paywall. what a perfect excuse.

why feel bad for suggesting objectively better software?

You could read that again without assuming I was being defeatist. Not much more I can say.

We’ve been voting all this time while they dreamed this up in some island. It’s unanimous and worldwide. Get real.

Text book the answer to a headline in the form of a question is always ‘no’.

They’re literally dumb walking into Minority Report and all the other distopian movies. What would you expect.

imagine if he did

ChromeOS is also Android basically, no?

So… GrapheneOS in desktop mode. I don’t know the details, but there’s that I think. Kinda just hook up the phone to a dock with a monitor. Great option, more secure than linux.

You can try a regular linux distro with gnome. It’s a normal OS nowadays. I don’t see anything more or less complicated. Windows is more overwhelming imo with all the bloat you have to remove with some scripts downloaded off some russian forum, and all the settings within settings…

This is the only one I like. I think it’s done right under the hood. Good balance between features and looks like stock, without being too overloaded with options. It hasn’t been updated in a while, though nothing seems broken AFAIK.

While good intended these actions just further validate their ideas, by showing anything other than an uncompromising “No”.

No, not exactly like.

Linux: any distro not implementing age verification becomes illegal

Searx: search engines already implement captchas and ridiculous rate limits.

Fediverse: inconvenient node operators can be categorized as terrorists, like the italian anarchists who were providing web services.

Signal will just buzz off countries implementing backdoors. Until it’s not put next to Encrochat. Same with GrapheneOS.

US already banned routers. Those should be entirely provided by ISPs only at some point.

They could as well publicly and really piss and shit all over these hearings at this point.

like nitter and xcancel got a musky cease and desist letter and they promptly closed the service and the repository.

If any corporation decides any software is hurting their bottom line, anything is fair game to them.

All just one puny little squeaky C&D letter away from shutdown apparently, probably.
