I’m not going to your blog without reading at least a paragraph here.

Good luck with that goofle. I have no goofle account nor smart devices.

Without a google account there will be many sites I can’t visit. I’ll look at such sites the same way as I look at paywalled sites.

I hope you are wrong but I suspect you are correct. Time will tell.

Have a look at JMPChat. They are a VoIP provider (network connection is required to make or receive calls) and may not be subject to the kyc rules.

It’s very easy to not watch the ai videos when it’s getting more difficult to watch youtube without an account.

“Twitter (now X).” is where I stopped reading. Everyone knows, it’s been years.

You are very welcome. Thanks for the link.

Go argue about grammar with a lawyer. I typed it as Mr Geist did and I’m willing to bet he had far more education than you or I.

This started as part of C-2, a strong border bill. Specifically sections 14 and 15. It didn’t get the votes and failed because of 14 and 15. It was later reintroduced as two bills, a border bill and a lawful access bill.

C-22 is a tamer version of sections 14 and 15 in C-2. The Liberals have a majority so they may have the votes.

Several parts of this bill violates The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and I’m hoping the courts will kill the bill.

Sure “these two trolls” are against it but so is Proton, Signal, Apple, Nordvpn, Windscribe vpn, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Cybersecurity Advisors Network.

As well as Canadian technology lawyers David Fraser and Michael Geist.

The chairs of the US House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees both have spoken against C-22.

Many respected privacy companies are against the bill.

Mullvadvpn is my vpn of choice. Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora are the recommended distros if using Mullvad.

Mint isn’t for everyone. A lot of picking a distro, at least for me, is will it work with the services I want to use.

Shitty behavior on the part of Moto.

On the other hand, installing GOS gets rid of this issue. I’ll likely still buy a Moto if I have the option of installing GOS myself. I wouldn’t trust Moto to not add something to a pre-installed GOS.

I thought this was common knowledge among in the tech community.

Who said it was the best?

I used Tuta to create my Bluesky account and all my Addy traffic goes to Tuta although I did wait a while before using my Tuta.

Just get a Tuta account. No recovery email or phone number required. Sometimes they will kill a new account, just wait a day or two before using it or buy a voucher from Proxysrore with Monero and upgrade.

Nearly every account one can make requires email. You may not use email for communication but you do use email.

I read an article a month or two ago that explained without an atmosphere to carry away the heat, the chips would just super-heat and melt.

Use two browsers. One for logins, the other dumps all data on close.
