Which day did you go to check their servers?



Objectively a centralised VPN provider cannot prove it is trustworthy but I can guaranteed not paying.


  • F-Droid is not a shop.
  • URnetwork looks like a decentralised VPN provider.
  • All VPNs providers are a scam: see this on YouTube or PeerTube.

This fails to show any lines in its libre software source code.


Teleguard fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL. We do not control it, anti-libre software.


iOS fails to include a libre software license text file, like AGPL. We do not control it, anti-libre software.



Inbox, didn’t even see it was deleted until I clicked through.


Most Termux apps work with Radicale but not DecSync. Other issues are described in the linked post.





You can’t stop them but you can help them learn to make good choices on their own.



Nothing will unharvest your data. Do your best moving forward.



Disable SMS. It is service as a software subtitute. We do not control it.


We do not control software which fails to include a libre software license text file, anti-libre software. 🚩

They will shill all kinds of excuses to cope. The winners have already escaped.


Too often am excuse to normalise insecurity.

Thinkng of return on investment (time/effort) usually works better.


We are not banned from doing that. If Mozilla wants to abuse us they would not make it libre software.



open-source

development model

whatever software

🚩🚩🚩

A blatant scam to backdoor our devices with software which fails to include a libre software license text file, software we do not control, anti-libre software.





WhatsApp fails to include a libre software licence text file. We do NOT control it, anti-libre software.

This is the most efficient attack and defence. Do NOT copy what others are saying or you WILL get trapped.



Put their router into modem mode and daisy chain your own router. Look up its labels and find the original manufacture for manuals. Watch out for name changes and mergers. ISPs do not manufacture routers. They buy them from companies, change a few logos and lend them to you.



Only possible as iOS fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.




Warning, no libre software licence text file, we don’t control it.



Great for now. Much better than doomers here who do nothing but cope.

But this teaches nothing to protect them from new scams, new anti-libre software.




When will Hugging Face replace BLOOM’s anti-libre software license?


First ban ChatGPT, anti-libre software. Then, ban Instagram, Discord and iOS, if you aren’t just trying to steal our computing.


PSA Help others escape WhatsApp using Watomatic auto reply (and how to write it)
watomatic.app **Example** ``` 🤖 Automated Reply 💬 I reply faster on example.org ⁉️ WhatsApp is anti-libre software. We do NOT control it. It withholds a libre software license text file, like GPL. ``` **Explained** > I reply faster on Deleting the only way to reach someone online breaks your influence. > example.org A link and only one link, so (1) they see it's an app, not some random word or typo, (2) they can download it without searching, and (3) they don't have multiple choice–they don't need to do any thinking or research. Remove everything stopping them. > anti-libre software. Never say privacy, they've heard it all before (from you, no doubt). Say something different. > We do NOT control it. Make it simple and direct. Think of the most *removed* person you know and break it down in a way they would understand. Think about every angle it could be misunderstood. > It withholds Libre software is normal, default. Anti-libre software is cringe, weird, dangerous. Act like it. Also, humans care less about getting and more about losing stuff. > libre software license **text file** Show them what to check for, for themselves, easily, obvious. Later, show them how to spread these ideas. Then, show them how to show others how to spread these ideas, make more of you. > GPL A keyword for them to web search for more, with better results than more complex terms like AGPL or misleading terms like 'open source'. Don't waste a word. Lastly, make yourself someone everyone wants to talk to.

PSA Use your display name to help move others to privacy respecting replacements.
For example, on WhatsApp, use the whole 25 character limit for profile name. Examples: ``` Bob Moved To Signal.org Alice MovedTo Signal.org CharlieMovedTo Signal.org ``` Say Signal.org, not Signal, because they won't know it's an app. Use your about section too. Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, etc.

How to carrier level block all calls and texts to a phone number, to only allow data, to force other
**Not just locally on the device!** There must be an error when calling or texting the number. Data must work for internet for Signal, VoIP, etc. This is for a UK PAYG SIM. There should be no way for anyone to demand my number, or for me to leak it, or doing so should be irrelevant as it does not work.

Ring doorbell alternatives (only camera or plus mic and speakers) + Small Size?
**Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers**, not the lock or bell. Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn't stolen, attacked or bypassed. [Best answer yet](https://lemmy.today/comment/11113163)

**Update** I have come to a decision. Thank you to all who contributed suggestions. Please feel free to keep the discussion going to help others.

Jitsi Meet and Matrix are missing system-wide/background push-to-talk (PTT) (to replace Discord). * **Tell Jitsi** -> github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/210 * **Tell Matrix** -> github.com/element-hq/element-web/issues/15284 * **Tell Element Call** -> call.element.io (Settings > Feedback) * **Tell SimpleX** -> github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues/2398 Alternatives (obviously must be cross-platform end-to-end encrypted libre software)?
