While this is true, it's worth clarifying that GrapheneOS in particular is able to run apps sandboxed, so they can't communicate with eachother as they can on a stock OS.
Having said that, no one should expect that their right to privacy is given (or fought for), unless they take it first. Yes, laws and all, but user education is the bigger issue.
Users were onboarded onto the Internet before they had an understanding of the differences between cyberspace and meatspace, and how that could affect them. Placing the blame (and solutions) solely on third-parties is a dangerous mistake.
What is it with these people that when thinking of Linux base their decisions on decade-old knowledge and go straight for Ubuntu.
Ubuntu isn't what it used to be, competition actually happened and we're all the better for it. In the meantime, Canonical F'd up, and Ubuntu should not be anywhere near the top of the recommended distros list.
Want something that actually works, go Linux Mint. Have much newer hardware and want to game, go with Fedora or an arch-based distro like EndeavourOS.
Switch to an open source alternative so you don't have to deal with services shutting down the same way.
Some alternatives include Wallabag, Karakeep, Floccus, Otter.
Incorrect.
Technically Matrix is a protocol, and a forum client can be made. You already have some PoC social media ones.
It just so happens that most well known clients at this time and for instant messaging. But it can be much more.
In the current pseudo-capitalist world economy, the rich do help in pushing a circular economy, in a variety of industries.
If the rich are too taxed they'll more easily leave the country and move elsewhere. Your country loses a lot of its GDP. It's a bit of a chicken and egg problem, but it's also how the government of today runs, where everything is run on credit and paid for later.
Lean-governments are possible, but in such a case a government can never spend more than its GDP produces. No government would go that way right now, mainly because people aren't educated enough to make a decent argument for it, verbally or otherwise.
Your country either welcomes the rich, or answers to the IMF.
In summary//TL;DR: In a credit-based, credit-ran, loan-promised economy, greatly successful small and medium businesses are not enough to keep GDP high enough to pay off national debt.
over to Linux full-time back in ~3.15.
I recommend you join the LUG Org (Linux User Group), as they have a load of resources in case you get stuck and have some people working on specialised Wine runners.
They also run a Matrix Space that's worth joining.
For email and VPN, I recommend Proton. Even their free tier works well.
Nice to see Matrix's Element client on there.
Has definitely become my go-to and even managed to get friends, family, and my gaming community on there, replacing Discord entirely
Don't get the EU flag though, we should be pushing for global sovereign alternatives.
Thos could indicate the inverse in that these applications/platforms are not useable outside EU which is incorrect, and unfortunate.
Odysee did/does something interesting where if one uses the desktop client, the video gets streamed and cached, and then seeded back over a configurable amount of time.
I could see creator's communities being self-sustainable this way.
It's not centralised though. It's quite decentralised actually.
As for your "nazi bar problem", I'd suggest you review the relays you connect to. That's the beauty of free speech, and power of choice.
