But again, how is that any different to me, as a Canadian, than an American social media company?

All of that is still true.

All the US companies have kissed the ring and are bowing to facsim.

Western social media still has its own agenda. And it’s not human Rights either.

It defaults to master if your account existed before the change I believe.

At least I had to manually change it.

That’s… Not actually a reasonse to what was said?

Sure, that’s all fine and dandy. But it doesn’t change the point that was being made.

The election happened. Here and now, Russia and China tracking me is no different than the US. They’re all authoritarian governments hell bent on stripping rights away.

Now I’m not the same person you replied to. I’m in Canada, so I’m weary of all of them. But if I was in the states, I’d RATHER give my data to an advisory that won’t do much with it. As apposed to the current government hellbent on making life for me and my trans siblings as hard and difficult as possible.

Yes, but reading the page tells you they’ve gotten google to open-source PebbleOS and highly suggests they’re either going to maintain the open source version, or otherwise fork the code.

Let’s not blame fellow workers for doing what they need to survive. Big tech companies are exploitive by nature, espcially H1B visas are basically indebted servitude at this point.

This is about class, not left vs right.

Would that make it okay if that wild rant was true?

The devil doesn’t need advocates. He’s president.

Most platforms proxy media shared.

Then your proposed workaround is still 1 click more than the reported one.

So tailscale client, the apps you actually download are open source. What’s not open source is the server side code.

Because the interface of tailscale is publicly known and available, someone went and made an open source server side version compatible with tailscale clients.

What’s tail scale?

It’s an easy to use VPN. I can expose just my server to the vpn and my community can easily gain access.

100% not a cost optimized way to host, but much more about balancing cost vs manual maintenance.

Thanks!
