I watched one HTML video 5 years ago, and now I'm using a De-Googled phone, Linux, and get a more paranoid than I should when I see and Echo Dot. This is not what I signed up for...
What a bunch of bullshit.
I self-host my stuff because it's cheaper, I run Gentoo since the last 15 years and use Chrome because it's just better and friendly. I also have a Xperia android phone and really, really don't like MKBHD.
Somehow I fall within all these categories
Finally someone who doesn't call me either a corporate simp or paranoid
with how contentious Red Hat and Canonical decisions have been lately, the mid panel should have Arch and Debian replacing Ubuntu and Fedora.
How the fuck is Telegram after WhatsApp?? Telegram has some of the worst privacy while WhatsApp is at least end to end encrypted.
WhatsApp is at least end to end encrypted
Just because it tells you it is doesn't mean it is
Middle panel on most points, but only because too dumb & impulsive to be tech paranoid.
Don't be dumb & impulsive, kids, it is not a good mix.
People care so much about the weirdest stuff.
I feel like WhatsApp should be in the middle. The app is terrible, but the messaging is actually encrypted. We paranoids also appreciate Signal, and Element disappointingly gets no play here.
Also:
*believes not every company is inherently evil*
It's kind of weird, then, how they all end up doing evil stuff, including the guys that explicitly set out with the philosophy "don't be evil".
We can all tell conservative is supposed to be the enlightened one, but unless the creator is using a very malice-driven definition of evil (as opposed to including accidental evil) this line is an own-goal.
Do you think Whatsapp is actually encrypted and isn't a tool to get more information from its users because Meta pinky promised? Closed source piece of garbage.
