Update, but it appears that Trump's Gestapo now has access to Graphite, which is Israeli spyware, designed with zero-day exploits. Apparently it can also hack Signal.
What we need is to criminally prosecute all who circumvent robust privacy laws using third countries. Especially companies and secret services. And if that means we need to arrest prime ministers, so be it. If Israel's terrorist Mossad arrests people on other countries' borders, who's to say we cannot do the same for their fascist terrorist leaders?
Ecosia is debatable. Also, why the fuck would you introduce Arch Linux as an alternative for Windows?? Start them with Mint/Fedora/Ubuntu.
He wrote "what he personally uses" not what he recommends.
Linux is Linux. Archinstall+KDE is quite easy to install and get working. Sure, neon or some flavour of debian will be easier. But, it's practically all the same these days. Also, Arch may have better compatibility with some laptops because of the latest Linux kernel. Moreover, if the person is a little tech savvy, the arch wiki is an excellent place to learn about Linux.
couldn't just say Linux lol had to include what distro btw
i use arch btw
Some Linux ditros are from the US, could be a no-go for some. The Linux HQ is also located in the US btw.
It's his list. He didn't tell anybody to use what he use
yeah, the meme isn't "you should use arch btw" it's "i use arch btw" which is exactly what this list says.
Not bad, but keep in mind thay Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot.
They're using Signal though, not Telegram.
Which is American..
opensource and privacy focused :3
i've never heard of here wego, but i cannot find it on fdroid, is it open-source? is it openstreat map based?
here wego isnt opensource, but it is european (from the netherlands)
isn't opensource and also not openstreetmap. I use Comaps
The popups, ads, and nags about disabling ad blocker on Ecosia... Ehh...
i would change:
What about the fact that basically ALL entire planet goes through either Cloudflare or Akamai's infrastructure? I wonder if it is even possible to not use those, even unwillingly
ALL entire planet
Not the all planet but a big portion yes. There's a firefox extension that helps with that: Decentraleyes.
Don't let the good be an enemy of the excelent. There's some stuff that's unavoidable, but every tiny bit helps.
