With anti-libre software, we are not users, we are used.

Removing anti-libre software, like WhatsApp, Instagram and iOS, from your friend’s devices.


Does it include a libre software license text file?




Yes, Windows fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.


You think your OS doesn’t see what your doing in Tor or any other app?


Ain’t nobody drawing a diagram to get an app.



LMAO, Preveil fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. Could their little scam be any more blatant.


Depends entirely on a non-free network service.


‘Open source’ misses the point of libre software.



Privacy is never single player, so we must get good at spreading our ideas to those around us.



This post is basically spam. Who’s fixing this, when so many here are still stuck on the easy stuff, trapped in WhatsApp, Discord, iOS.



They think OP gonna spell it all out, like we got no brain.



So, stop helping WhatsApp. Tell us when you’ve found a solution.



Bitdefender fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software, very dangerous. I would fix this before your web browser or any other app.



Good, they can delete WhatsApp to fix that. What is your solution and how many times has it actually worked?


Most of those crying about this are likely still stuck on the easy stuff, trapped in WhatsApp, Discord and iOS. Try start there.




Wrong, WhatsApp and iMessage fail to include a libre software license text file. We do not control them, anti-libre software. They ban us from fixing backdoors. Stop repeating their scam.


maid + VPN to Ollama on your own computer.

Use an Onion service with client authorisation to avoid needing a domain or static IP.


Not any software. Read more than half a sentence.


Not any text file. Read that again.


Wrong, F-Droid is and has libre software. We control it.

Meanwhile, GrapheneOS has Accrescent spreading software which fails to include a libre software license text file, software we do not control, dangerous!

Tech talk is a confusion strategy to derail us and ‘open source’ is another. With it, their scam cannot get more blatant.

Warning, Accresent from the GrapheneOS Store does this and Privacy Guides does this too, smuggling it mixed in with good information, so always think for yourself. This is one of the few ways to trick us that sometimes actually works, so watch out for it.

Can we use GrapheneOS with F-Droid and without Accrescent? Yes.

Aurora Store (libre) replaces the Google Store app (anti-libre) but spreads other anti-libre software, harm reduction but not harmless.

Obtainium does nothing to check apps are libre software.



No, only they control the money printers.


not open source … but they have strong privacy features

wtf is this shit, lmao

‘Open source’ misses the point of libre software. When it fails to include a libre software license text file, we do not control it, anti-libre software. Do they really think we’re this easy to scam?


But anything I can specifically say that works best in planting a seed in people’s mind?

‘It fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. Don’t fall for their scam.’

You need to make them ask you. People are bored of privacy. They will not ask you about privacy. Also, people care less about getting and more about losing. Listen for complains and always link back to software freedom.

Never say privacy. Never say anything technical, a derailment strategy used against us. Never say ‘open source’. This misses the point of libre software. Say simple words, scam and abuse.

Vote with your wallet? This has never ended Google, Apple or Microsoft. These capitalist fantasies never work in the real world 🤣🤣


  1. Pick one user downloaded app from your device.
  2. Check it has a libre software license text file, like GPL, to check we control it.
  3. If not, remove it (optional: replace it).
  4. Repeat the above for every other app.

This makes privacy easy, stopping apps blocking our privacy, by putting us in control.

You did not say which part of those guides is the issue, so here is the most simple and important part.



Obviously, BeReal fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software. So, there was never a reason to think it is private.



P2P voice chat with push-to-talk (for gaming)?
Peer-to-peer as it's easier to get an app over getting a server. Must be libre software and E2EE too, obviously.

[PSA] Use your display name to help others escape data rape.
Example, WhatsApp, use the **whole 25 character** profile name **limit**: ``` Bob Moved To Signal.org Alice MovedTo Signal.org CharlieMovedTo Signal.org ``` Say Signal.org, not Signal, so they see it is an app. Use your about section too. Same on Discord, Steam, Instagram, everywhere.

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)

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)?
