  • I think he’s doing too much Ketamine and was in the k-hole again. The richest man in the world thinks he’s “the resistance”. Against what? Himself? The best satire writes itself I guess. It’s clear that he’s just trying to let people believe he’s on their side. But when it comes to workers rights, naaahh not part anymoree lmaaoo, only enough for edgy posting on “X” (Twitter). Then the poor people can f themselves. Or his family with the mines in africa, he comes from a rebel household. But when a family member is not like what the social expectation was 50 years ago then she will be banished and badmouthed. He’s the one fighting against the system, the rich corrupt elite … oh wait. Idk how you can reach this level of delusion. Maybe he really didn’t consider the safer use rules while doing k and overdid it


  • More than some google bs. They’re open source, you could theoretically look at all the executed commands if you’re not trusting it enough. Sure it could be another binary, but I think most people doing something FOSS (meaning freetime invested not for profit, out of hobby/interest/inspiration) are reasonable enough to not do stupid stuff like that. The way big corps are trying to overtake FOSS projects is the danger. Microsoft bought GitHub to get access to all of the community built software, we should diversify, I’m agreeing. Only a few big companies have taken the internet hostage, we need to free it again. As a community, normally the internet should be a place of plurality, not a few big sites that are the main hubs for everything. That’s what it was intended for


  • The best way to get rid oft the spy crap entirely is to get a pixel phone and flashing GrapheneOS (de-googled Android). Dw, it’s not that hard to do, there’s a good manual. Sure you need to find alternatives to google apps, but so far I could get replacement apps for almost everything FOSS from F-Droid store. Some apps cry for play services from time to time, but only a few of them won’t work at all without them. Most of the time it can be ignored. You are able to install a defused sandboxed version if something really needs it tho. If you need an app from play store you can use Aurora Store (Foss play store client). Even E-SIM works without problems. And the best is 7 years guaranteed updates starting with the phone release. The a series is quite cheap (got Pixel 8a for ~460€). I can only recommend this setup.
