Eating animals is much worse than piracy. The livestock industry is far more destructive.

Some people think that bootlicking will make their own pitiful lives better.

“I be working” sounds better though. :p

RIP bloodninja.

I’m with you on the no real names, no nudes. “Don’t dox yourself” was the norm pre-Myspace. Facebook made it almost fashionable to do so.

I’m fine with shorthand and colloquialisms, especially in the era of the smartphone and their lack of physical keyboards.

MobileCoin, it’s been around for at least 5 years. https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360057625692-In-app-Payments

Sign up without using a phone number or email. Threema isn’t trying to shoehorn a silly cryptocurrency project into the app.

Threema.

Neutron music player.

FairEmail.

I used to see it in the States maybe 15 years ago but I also saw it in the UK (Liverpool) about a decade ago.

That is not a normal interaction anywhere that I’ve been in the States and not in Chicago. Despite what the press says Chicago is a very beautiful and relatively safe city. The people tend to be civil.

If they cared about privacy then they wouldn’t use a searchable public database like FB.

Fedora.

Opensuse Tumbleweed.

pass - password manager https://www.passwordstore.org/

rsync - provides fast incremental file transfer https://rsync.samba.org/

xmpp - the universal messaging standard https://xmpp.org/

matrix - an open network for secure, decentralised communication https://matrix.org/

retroshare - private and secure commmunication and sharing platform. RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages, forums and channels. https://retroshare.cc/

No rsync? No pass? I’d definitely have the xmpp and matrix protocols on that list with a few clients listed for desktop and mobile.

It’s definitely more frustrating. I’ve had a similar experience trying to help people with their Windows PCs. Thankfully I’ve managed to convince a few to switch to Linux Mint.

No systemd on my void or gentoo builds either.

You have been sleepwalking through life…

For a lot of women marriage (and divorce) is all about money.

Threema still works.

Void is far from torture. It is just as easy to set up as Arch, if not more so.
