Meshcore is pretty impressive, meshtastic is neat too. Not much in terms of bandwidth but the reach is incredible.

It says in the modlog: “Reason: Not a meme community”

Speaking of nothing to hide, Can only mods and admins actually view the modlog? Seems a bit silly to gatekeep when anyone can run their own instance and be an admin.

I Just transfered over to porkbun after namecheap decided to raise renewal cost again, wish id done it sooner.

Besides the fact that Proton is based in Switzerland where government warrants aren’t issued willy-nilly, please learn how the mathematics behind encryption works – or, if not, at least trust that it does. For emails that are sent E2EE, Proton can only have garbled data that requires a key they don’t have.

Email is not end to end encrypted and this is the first of protons many misleading claims. Best case the contents is encrypted but not info like recipents address or sender’s IP. Leading to less knowledgeable activists not understanding that using protons vpn and their email together can actually lead to users giving proton more then enough info for law enforcement to track someo e down.

Proton doesnt even hide this if you look at their reports they comply with court orders regularly. In theory proton could also back door any of their users keys since everything is done on the fly in the browser and proton controls all of the code. This is something their predecessors had been ordered to do and chose to shutdown instead of complying. Somehow i dont see proton opting to close up shop just to protect a few users who theyre told are criminals.

People who actually care about encryption already had a solution long before proton, called PGP and thats yet to be broken. Why other then vendor lock in would you encourage people to use anything else? (this is a criticism i have of tuta also)

Also just fyi proton moved out of Switzerland last year for guess what… Legal reasons!

Glad to hear you agree with me and dont want to debate because literally none of what ive said is speculative.

The post is just an ad disguised as a guide and absolutely pointless. You know what else will show people how to disable gemini, googles own ai based search (which now sources protons guide, well above the actual search result that links back to proton)

Sorry if my aversion to advertising comes off as smarmy, im tired of seeing companies go from focusing on providing one good service like email and trying to become the next one corp fits all replacement for google. Instead of doing one thing extremely well it becomes a race to do as many things as they can and get people to replace one monolith with another.

Proton is the most recent to make this shift and its obvious they want to be like google but with “privacy” as a gimmic because its only private until they get a government order telling them to do something to unmask a user or monitor an email.

How to turn off Gemini in one step:

1. Stop using google’s services.

If i was actually running my own competing service I’d probably suggest switching to it instead of writing a blog post to help people use my competition, but i guess thats why I don’t work in marketing, this must be some big brained 4-d chess move.

Why does it matter if its googles "AI’ slurping up your emails, or just their massive advertising and tracking network? Do the ads seem less intrusive if they’re just coming from adsense instead of gemini? Are people actually foolish enough to think “disabling” a feature like this actually stops google from constantly scanning every single one of their emails?

I’m going to call this now, Proton will be just as bad as google in 5-10 years. It shows in how they are totally bad faith promoting themselves as a better alternative they have one goal in mind and it’s the same one as cancer.

Its less time and energy then you might think, especially if its for a smaller group without open sign-ups. You could use a service like https://fedihost.co/ that takes most of the difficulty out of it setting up.

Even if you do use someone else’s instance they can always end up calling it quits for one reason or another (even the big ones). Fediverse works best and stays healthy the more decentralized it is.

Start your own, see what you like first and then invite friends.

Its a lot easier to wrangel the tech illiterate friends when they know you have skin in the game. Instead of " hey lets all join this other social network" go for "im starting my own social network and id love if you would join.

Friendica is probably the closest to facebook.

Personally i really like pleroma and have been running it for about a year now, after having previously tried misskey and some others.

Doom since 1995 or so, i first got it on the SNES and later when i got first PC it was the first game my parents got me.

Sort of nullifies the effectiveness of a general strike if you agree ahead of time that its only for one day, a friday even. I’ll take whatever we can get at this point but calling this an actual “General strike” is a bit exaggerated.

Strikes don’t end until demands are met.  The strike starts on the 23 and ends when ICE leaves, otherwise its not a strike its just a day of protest which while also good its nothing new and is not going to convince any capitalists or politicians to actually do anything.

Well I can say from experience that your landlord won’t be happy, but as long as it doesnt say a limit in your lease there’s nothing they can do about it.

Pretty easy to maintain, ive switched over to using my instance as a default search provider and works great.

They just borrow money with their portfolio as collateral, the more their portfolio value increases the more they can borrow without having to cash anything out that woild result in capital gains.

onntv has google tv certified devices with current gen models available at walmart for under $20 and will blow any roku away. Replace the stock launcher with projectiVity and throw in smartertube for adfree youtube and youre all set.

I always found science and history interesting even though i hated school.

Maths though, i always resented “you wont always have a calculator” … but now as im older i imagine kids today having a similar idea about “AI” and i can see that not ending well for anyone.

In hell where they belong.

I think sponsoring people who already use your product is a valid way to get more attention but thats about it. I do everything i can to avoid advertising as i find it personally offensive in the same way some people find pornography offensive and i think it should be treated similarly.

No business is going to violate court orders on behalf of their users. What people need to learn is to not use the same provider for everything, vpn and email especially should be on different services.
