No copyright law seems dangerous to me,
why create content if you can just steal it,
and earn on the back of the original creator without consequences?
I think I'd rather see it updated instead.
E.g. To hold AI companies and users accountable.
So they need explicit approval of copyright holders before they're allowed to train upon / use their data.
Ahhh sad to hear, but thanks for your reply,
now I know that I can stop searching,
and start hoping for quick implementation of Wireguard config support for Netbird :)
Thanks for your suggestion, but after going through the Github issues,
I'm afraid that it's not possible yet to connect to Netbird using a Wireguard config file:
I believe Briar currently is one of the best options out there, together with SimpleX.
However I lack usage experience with both.
Since no one I know makes use of them..
It was already hard enough to convince only a handful of my friends to start using Session and Matrix/Element (which are not the best options anymore), but I'm kinda doubtful about my success rate of making them switch once again..
My success with convincing people to use Telegram has been better though, since that's the most commonly known, but nearly no one wants to install an app they never heard off before, just to chat with only me :P
Also "convincing people" lately goes smth like this for me:
Do you have WhatsApp or Messenger so I can send you some pictures?
No I don't use apps that do not respect my privacy, but you can send em to me through SimpleX, Briar, Session, Matrix/Element, Telegram, Discord or email :P
Upon which most choose Telegram or Discord as their means to contact me, sadly no one had Briar/SimpleX yet.
*Don't Use Session, if your threat profile includes government's spending +-100k to crack your encryption, since their encryption is not the best out there.
Which they likely won't for an average privacy conscious user, but they might for high ranking criminals.
It was a good read though,
I won't invite new people to Session due to it.
But the title is a little click-baity,
"Session's encryption is not the best",
would be a more honest title.
Yes we need them to survive,
yes they're better than Google.
But no we're not being too negative/hard on them!
Lately Mozilla has been pulling a lot of anti-consumer yet pro shareholder shit.
AI is a perfect example of that,
unwanted by the majority of their community, yet still forced upon us by shareholders, for now through an optional addon, which appears to be a foot in the door, which can quickly grow into a baked in addon which ships with FireFox by default.
Won't get rid of all the Elon/Musk spam,
but I'd say about 90% which is already a huge improvement.
Also blocking the news communities does wonders for mental health.
They benefit financially from feeding negative content, since research pointed out that those articles generate more ad clicks, while they don't give a damn about what it does to your mental health.
To me this sadly is a clear sign that Bethesda has peeked.
They've re-released Skyrim a billion times, now they're re-releasing Oblivion, no news if The Elders Scrolls 6 development has even started yet, and Starfield is a hot mess.
Feels like they're milking out the last possible drops of profit out of their IPs before closing down...
Both of which are currently proprietary,
and would need to be written as FOSS from the ground up by reverse engineering the above 2, which would be a huge undertaking.
Also flashing custom Head Unit software to your car will be very hard, is not well documented, and likely will void your warranty, giving low incentive for developers to even attempt it :/
The best you can do right now is aa4mg
(Android Auto 4 MicroG),
which at least allows to replace the proprietary Google Play services with a privacy respecting FOSS alternative and Android Auto's dependencies with empty stub packages: https://github.com/sn-00-x/aa4mg
