LightPhone is your best bet for a Linux phone if anyone is interested.

We know about GOG but most Dev Studios avoid it like the plague for some reason. Couldn’t possibly be related to DRM money.

I don’t care if its seen as entitled as someone else said. If companies want to make money as a monopoly they should be held to a higher standard. They have to give us a bonus for selling data, why else am I going to use their service.

Regardless I do think it is a sign of the times, going dark on data will do nobody besides oligarchs any good.

Y’all can use LibreWolf or BestHomePageEver if it really bugs somebody. I do get being annoyed by shortcut ads though.

Self Moderated is just fine. Why do I need to doxx myself to be online? I’m not giving away my birth certificate or SSN just to post on social media that idea is crazy lmao.

Yeah unfortunately we get to live through this nightmare even if you didn’t vote for it. Best tip is to not use US services as payback. Use a VPN if necessary.

There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.

Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).

Really hoping this isn’t a 3DS situation where they added a notch to gamecarts. Its so dumb that we can’t use game consoles like a PC and just fucking install discs if we want to without a shitty checking system.

If they made it so your average joe could contribute to the Fediverse with their own hardware I’d contribute. Tired of seeing social media be owned by Billionares.

Yeah this was my first moment also and largely why I will never pay for NSO+. How they treat the esport community is crazy.

I prefer this over SBMM but at what point does it just become dead gaming theory?

Man I don’t want a future where we doxx ourselves to just be on a PC. Its insane that parents think real ID for gaming is a good idea. Linux might be the only way to escape any of this in the near future.
