Both Malcolm X and MLK Jr. (and every other civil rights activist throughout history) have been severely whitewashed in general.

You're very correct, but that's not the point I was trying to make.

Also schools definitely cover Malcom X and the Black Panthers just as much as MLK Jr., or at least my public school did.

The vast majority of users exclusively stick to defaults.

Microsoft got in a lot of trouble in the 90s for simply including Internet Explorer in Windows, as it disincentivized people from installing a different web browser such as Netscape.

Whenever you try to install an apk with sideloading disabled, Android will prompt you with a popup that will take you directly to the setting you need to toggle to allow sideloading.

What is legally defined as personal data in this case? Public usernames, public posts, or private messages to another instance, which states clearly that messages aren't private and to use Matrix instead? Or is there something else?

So by that logic, are all Americans war criminals because Americans pay taxes, which go to fund drone strikes that murder civilians overseas, domestic militarization of police, prisons, etc?

This is the same logic as "all Palastinians support Hamas."

Well no. How is Google supposed to feed all your text messages into their AI for profit if they allow a choice?

How? I just read the full text of that website, and I couldn't find any language in there that would harm the fediverse.

The CA Prop 65 warning is a perfect example of this. Most people just ignore it because it's on everything (which probably isn't inaccurate, especially when most products contain some type of plastic).

And only if it's a damn fine cup of coffee.

The hippie movement was coopted by the elites early on, which is why they stopped talking about economic justice and focused more on concepts like "free love", "equality", drug use, and other cultural focuses.

Those hippies (namely Steve Jobs) later went on to define our current Big Tech industry.

Meanwhile, when a strong leader arises who starts to sound a little too much like a socialist (MLK Jr.), the state murders them.

Or the front seat of a volkswagen?

What is this "reading comprehension" thing? Is that like when you copy and paste something into ChatGPT?

I can use dd after running "lsdvd" on CSS protected DVDs.

I have no idea why it works.

Or just a really loud speaker

They never left, only shrank, but now they're spreading and destroying everything around them... like cancer.

Yes

Privacytools.io actively promotes VPN services that advertise heavilly on YouTube, and have no good track record, like NordVPN (which is at the top of their list of VPNs), which leads me to believe that they are paid by NordVPN to promote their service.

Mullvad (the most trustworthy VPN IMO in terms of track record) is at the bottom of their list.

At the top of their main website, they also have Incogni as a recommendation with what looks to be a referral link. They also have a referral link for Startmail, Internxt (whatever that is), and probably others as well.

On their front page: "Sponsors can be exempted from the criteria."

Anyone trying to recommend privacy services who also accept sponsorships are not trustworthy.

Also, on their crypto page, they recommend both AgoraDesk and LocalMonero, both of which shut down last year, which leads me to believe that some of their information is also out of date.

When I look at PrivacyGuides, I see none of these issues, so I recommend PrivacyGuides over ptio. In fact, on their VPN page, not only do they recommend relatively trustworthy VPNs, but they also have a big red warning about VPN usage and what to expect in terms of privacy that ptio does not have.

Yeah, I never really understood the term "TERF", as their idiology is counter to that of any kind if feminism that I've ever seen, which is generally all about equality between genders.

The main thing you need to worry about in that case is the battery. It's useful to have a built in UPS, but definitely keep an eye on it, especially after keeping it plugged in for long periods of time.
