Yeah. The solution to that is using WiFi all over, but that’s not feasible for most people. That’s the 1 thing I’m still stuck with. There’s no 2 ways about it. Either you keep feeding your location to your mobile service provider to have internet everywhere, or you sacrifice that convenience and go completely dark. Fortunately the option of VOIP for voice calls instead of a voice Sim is available, which lessens the issue a bit. I use JMP.chat for that. Seriously thinking about getting their data Sim as well.

All too aware of that. Fortunately I use nothing mainstream at all. For example:

Pretty much all of them. If I recall correctly, after the 3rd question everything was AI.

Thanks so much.

I kind of added that to the free text part.

I’d appreciate it of you shared the list of emails (can’t think of a reason for the usernames). I have built quite the reject list of email addresses and domains from unsolicited emails in our company’s email server, and while its slowed down the number of spam, it seems to never end.

“And would harm consumers”, don’t forget that part. How many consumers have been asked about this?

So, to save democracy, let’s go full North Korea on the platforms we don’t like. 🤨

You’re almost there in down votes. Good job 🤣

I dare Nintendo to find me via social networks 🤣🤣

I believe my company doesn’t, but maybe it’s just that I don’t have Amy which allowed me to live blissfully unaware that they do 😁

That’s an understatement, lol. And all my cabling is 6A, which is basically an iron bar 🤣. It took me and a friend of mine almost 4 days to push that wiring through

Ah, that makes sense. I have 7 nano HD in my house because constructions here are all concrete, so pretty much 1 AP per room.

Why do you have the AP in there? Doesn’t that affect your Wi-Fi range?

I guess that’s the price we pay for living in a mostly capitalist world. It sucks though. At least I’ve been able to keep my kids out of those things for 11 and 9 years. That alone I consider a win.

I know it’s a mess 😅 That NUC holds my Proxmox server.

That box is my 20TB Unraid server exclusively for storage.

I always move straight to the screen shots. These are feeds I get via RSS, so I never actually “browse” that site.

I can only say that I’m all the better after removing them all from my life. My mental health has improved dramatically since then.

I keep pushing as many people as possible in my life away from all these dangers (I genuinely consider them actual dangers) precisely because of that. It’s mind blowing how most people just don’t care, until they find themselves in a spot like this one, and even then, they don’t even reassess the potential consequences of remaining inside those environments.

+1 on Grayjay. Also Tubular. FreeTube on PC and SmartTube on TV.
