Can you elaborate on why "self hosting is not an option"? Not all self-hosting requires Docker and terminal and all of that. You can use SyncThing which just turns all your existing devices into "the cloud" with an app. If you leave any of those devices turned on and connected it becomes a "server".

Nextcloud is usually integrated into the distro itself. Just head over to the accounts section in settings and sign in.

What do you think that phrase means? The gov just let's people do whatever they want?

You think individuals can't be targeted because they're "in power"? Why do you think they're wearing them?

You're free to choose the authoritarianism instead of the personal risk, but then you can't claim that you're resisting, because you're not; it's either or.

There's "personal risk" and then there's losing your livelihood.

No, real obstruction of fascist activity.

You're using a bunch of general language. Why don't you want to say what makes a protest effective?

Mass protests work because, aside from the implicit threat of violence, they grind economic activity to a halt.

Good luck not getting fired.

Please post the entirety of your online history. Surely there's no reason to hide.

...we're talking about hiding though

Whether what you've done is entirely legal (or not) authoritariaism doesn't care.

That goes both ways. That was my entire point.

it has none of the aspects that make a mass protest effective

Oh please, do go on, what makes a protest effective? Nonsensical general destruction of your neighbors' property?

Okay and?

Okay and...that's bad?

Not getting backlash because you did nothing isn't the flex you think it is.

Getting the marines and national guard deployed on you isn't the flex you think it is.

Mass protests where people did nothing particular.

A mass protest, in and of itself, is not "nothing".

People in LA are actually making it harder for ICE to terrorize them.

I would argue the opposite. You haven't noticed the National Guard and Marines being deployed there?

You're talking about encryption and signal because you're worried about folks whose network you're connected to being able to invade your privacy, right?

LOL no? I'd never blow the whistle on my employer from my desk. Even if I did, I would connect to a different network.

I recognize other people are not as conscious as I am of that vulnerability but you asked about me, specifically.

If you don't worry about those guys, who do have access to traffic info, then why bother with encryption?

Any number of other people. Primarily the government.

Thank you

Fuck you too buddy

If the header isn't encrypted it'd be easy to inspect

Easy for whom? How are you getting access to the traffic info?

I am not the arbiter of what is/isn't wrong

That's what you're doing though

The only difference is what you consider to be "wrong" or "just".

The point I'm trying to make is that everyone is wearing a mask for the same reason: to prevent retribution for their beliefs and according actions.

They don't "know what they're doing is wrong", they just know that other people think that and will target them for it, which is the exact same reason protestors wear them.

Netflix has games?

Options? Apple? Seems unlikely...

Protestors or vandals and rioters?

Yes.

The former: to prevent government persecution and unfair retaliation.

Why would they face persecution if they did nothing wrong!?

It's just you. There were mass protests across the country just a couple of weeks ago.

Unless you meant the senseless destruction of property.
