Poor article with it attempting to be a character fluff piece that completely ignores that after working at the FTC, Slater become the vice-president for legal and regulatory policy for the Internet Association lobby group. Which was founded by “small business” like Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook.

And involved in trying to infringe upon privacy rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/09/lawmakers-must-not-let-internet-association-weaken-california-consumer-privacy-act

He also conveniently ignored that after working at the FTC, Slater become the vice-president for legal and regulatory policy for the Internet Association lobby group. Which was founded by “small business” like Google, Amazon, eBay and Facebook.

So yeah, proton founder cherry picked information that tried to make it seem like it was acceptable to praise the pick when reality is the past is too murky to endorse in any manner. And that medium article that gets floated around ignores Internet Association too, so wouldn’t be shocking if it was from proton attempting to do PR damage fixating on identity politics with intentional omission of Internet Association involvement.

This might work for kodi

I wonder if someone breaking it and collecting insurance money from it would end up being the preferred option over selling it.

I just want dumb appliances that stay dumb and don’t need no ai or app shit.

And I want OS that just launch and download programs I click without account login requirements and ai shit trying to be my dumb shit buddy.

I use the old.reddit.com/r/subreddit+subreddit1 bookmark approach to get a reddit feed without relying on reddit account for a subscription on desktop browser.

And on Android I use Stealth from F-Droid which is an app that lets you subscribe locally, save locally, and lets you have different profiles with different subscriptions. And it is account free with no way to log in.

Moving to primarily lurking is the route I’ve taken.

What…I thought we were team Hannibal.

We are reddit though just on a different site… lot of people mainly moved because of the api change.

Even someone believing they are “not like other redditors” is one of the most reddit stereotypes. Haha.

Those just come off as regular left to me.

When I think of radical left I think tanky types who are full on nationalists and pro authoritarian governments that suppress free think that they are indistinguishable from the far right other than just differences when it comes to stuff like government assisted programs.

They should do the same for twitter and meta too.

He’s successfully destroyed it in his country.

Bet they are the ones who browse the internet without an ad blocker.

Tom from MySpace taking the money and enjoying life away from the limelight instead of seeking more wealth and power seems more along the lines of what most people fantasize about when it comes to what they’d do if they were rich. All the other rich fucks actively go out of their way to make as many people as miserable as possible.

Plus side here is that people can move to another instance and start commenting right away as opposed to being shadow banned for a period in certain subs and having to build up enough karma to not automatically have every comment flagged.

People aren’t stuck to the policies of instances they don’t agree with whether it be reasons for bans or what instances are blocked or whitelisted.

Yep buying used is the route to go to not directly source a company with new revenue.

Every comment can be argued to be an attempt to try to convince people of a certain viewpoint.

Including this one pointing out the comment posted was a long laid out argument trying to change someone’s perspective of current events. ha

Reddit being the go to place for federal workers to explain what is happening on the fednews sub given reddit shadow banning new accounts and anti VPN stance is rather ironic with federal workers hiding their names and using stuff like signal out of fear of what the administration might do to them.

Viewing through archive.is is another great option too for bypassing paywalls.

Freetube (desktop) and newpipe (android) is great for those who would like a subscription feed without an account, local Playlist, download videos, and save view history while remaining account free.

I use pipepipe on mobile with it being a fork of newpipe with sponsor block, and lets you use a throw away YouTube account it uses only to access age restricted videos.

Dammit really need to stop setting up HQs in US. It’s the same for archive.org and wikipedia.
