Really wish more people understood this. Owning information is a horseshit construct with awful consequences. Fuck ip law.

People have been conditioned to believe that determination of an act’s morality is somehow changed when when carried out on a large enough scale, or when performed by certain entities.
Yeah, probably. The fact that you use mullvad is exposed to your financial institution, but as long as mullvad doesn’t keep logs (which has been legally tested to show that they do not), I don’t think it really matters all that much for most people.
how much potential money I’ve lost by letting my money stagnate
It’s not just potential gains that’s being lost, you’re very much losing wealth to inflation by doing this.
Linux Mint w/ Cinnamon is a pretty painless transition.
If you’re in the US, should probably avoid it like the plague tbh. They have the proven capacity to make any situation infinitely worse.
Maybe the court already knew that Signal doesn’t have any data to hand over beyond the registration dates?
That seems likely the case based off the series of previous warrants & subpoenas where they kept having to explain that they didn’t have any of that other shit to give.
Battle tested privacy services <3
Gross.
Not Lemmy, but mbin instance fedia.io doesn’t have any of that nonsense.
Does Wire still store metadata on who you message? That seems potentially more damaging than Signal’s phone number requirement, at least since the switch to being able to hide your number from everyone.
I think Valve should prohibit the addition of mandatory invasive 3rd party software after a limited window at launch. Unless they want to offer refunds and forfeit Steam’s cut I guess.
It’s absolute horseshit that publishers can add all sorts of garbage years later that was in no way agreed to at the time of purchase.
Edit: I guess in this case it’s not really 3rd party since it’s EA’s shit software, but the general point stands.
I wonder if separating relevant/irrelevant & like/dislike into two votes would have any success. Quite likely it would not, but might be worth trying.
Recently started learning NixOS and seems like it’s going to be ridiculously awesome! Documentation doesn’t look to be great in a lot of areas though unfortunately, so might be a while before I really figure shit out.
Absolutely not; and everyone attaching their actual identity to it are insane imo.
Just go with GrapheneOS. Nothing else is even remotely close tbh.
Seems like this can be prevented from reaching that point by properly deleting old generations regularly though right?
