A 4chaner has friends? Fake nerd copium.

No, they just don’t have the same principles as us. I love Lemmy, but it doesn’t have the same level of smaller active communities. There is more work for us to do.

I found Samsung’s struggled after 1.5 years. I’m 3 years in on Pixel 6a. Less bloat really seems to help.

What phone would you recommend privacy wise?

I’m quite impressed you’ve been running Windows 10 on a HDD. It was dog slow for me, especially starting up and how I started using Linux.

Who cares about toxic LTT?

Imagine the atrocities that could occur if Hamas got infant formula…

The years are on the first few, but not after? It would help with context to have years on each.

Gosh the LMG shills are nauseous.

“I’m not a fan, I just watch the occasional video but <insert excuses, growing pains etc.>”.

Proper fan girling, but at least fan girls have courage of conviction.

How did you learn about it?

Astroturfing is designed not to look like an ad. It’s supposed to look like grassroots support for a product. Legitimising it for the audience. Strategically, it’s effective. “Privacy market leader is bad for x, y and z, what do you think of competitor?”. It’s classic marketing of “here is problem, here is solution”. Just subtle.

Most people here are probably off gmail or close to it. Best way to make inroads is work your way into a niche which Proton, Tuta, Mailbox did to great effect. As I say, I don’t trash the tried and tested options including rival products of Proton. This is email though, usually you want to put data in hands of companies you trust. Its the reason folk running from google, yahoo, outlook. Being careful and skeptical is good.

I asked a question. You sure are belligerent. I thought I left the toxicity when I left reddit. Not everything has to be an argument. Chill.

I’d have expected questions about Tuta, or Mailbox. It’s weird for folk to pan something and raise a tool most haven’t heard of.

You’d think due diligence in a privacy community would be a given.

It’s quite common to see in privacy communties a post panning the preferred option then suggesting something new and asking folk about it. It can be a way to get folk aware and talking of your product. It’s subtle atroturfing, but you do see it.

Organically, you’d usually ask what folk use instead.

What setup? AMD BTW. Just install steam and go…

There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Never heard of it. Happy with Proton. This feels like a subtle advert.

The AI surveillance state requires more data. It wasn’t just US states, and UK. It’s Australia and EU. Either they all indepently come up with the same shit idea, or it’s lobbying. I’ve noticed in the UK when a child dies due to something related to the internet, they mention some tech legislation that would prevent this. It’s like the lobbyists are manipulating folk at their worst to push this shit. It’s dark AF.

I personally wouldn’t touch Purism. I read some pre-ordered and then requested refunds. They allegedly said they’d do it at a certain time, and apparently when it got to it, did not refund, and secretly changed terms and conditions.

I would not touch with barge pole.

I own a Pinephone and like it, but it was very immature, dated and not ready. I wanted the Pinephone Pro, but I think it still needed a lot of work.

I’m currently using GrapheneOS. I share your enthusiasm, but need a basic phone to do basic phone things like call or text and Linux phones are not always reliable for that.

Examples of countries that have had territory invaded that run elections? I asked for examples because I’d love to see real world examples and not fictional examples from inside someone’s head…
