It might not be ready for everything but more than a dream it is: https://postmarketos.org/

Can’t wait for PostmarketOS to be mature enough everyday use.

Propaganda seems still a business case for me.

Taara is Google, just saying.

Thanks Microsoft for admitting that Wimdows sucks. You didn’t even try really.

Maybe they should also ban lobbying by Google, Microsoft etc.

Use uMatrix and see more sewage

Let’s poke the bubble.

In thie fesiverse graphic each person has exactly 1 connection to a fediverse thing. But in reality, there can be more. I guess in practice there are often more than one.

There’s nothing stopping you from using GPL.

But there is a culture - I think even explicit - of using MIT or APACHE licensing. In some sense is okay, because it simplifies crate compatibility. But it comes at the cost of feeding the usual suspects who now obviously turn against humanity.

My unconfirmed suspicion is that there are forces behind (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta) who like permissive licenses because this makes it easier for them to exploit the work of the public.

Always have some chewing gum ready. (I would advise for cyanoacrylate but that’s illegal in some places because you could use it to stick yourself to the road as a form of protest)

Is tempting to check if it’s still down. But wom’t touch this ugly domain.

Please panic. There’s Librewolf. A deshittified Firefox fork. Would be great to support that project.

How about another type of control: by default your profile is not federated. Then you manually select the instances you trust. And your data getcs shared only with those. Dating usually is kind of local anyway. If i live in australiay I’m likely not interested in matches from the UK. So instances could already serve as some pre-selection based on your region and possibly community type.

My last impression was that alovoa would need a lot of work still. It’s also the best thing I’ve seen so far but it’s very buggy unfortunately.

How about doing some fine-grained control mechanism: you share little data publicly, then once somebody likes you, you can decide to share more with them. With some cryptography tricks should be possible to share this information only with the other person and not with their home servers.

Google has always been fuckers, they are still fuckers and going with the fascist flow they’ve proven that they will remain fuckers. Even if they switch side once the Trumpian monster stumbles, the can never be trusted.

This days it’s plain obvious. Before was slightly better hidden.

They could decide not to give 1M to Trump, but they did: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/09/google-microsoft-donate-trump-inaugural-fund They could use their reach and make a clear public statement: “we don’t support this”. But I’ve never seen any. They could give higher rating to actual useful information and try to show less fascist propaganda to people. I have to assume that’s going wrong as well.

Because of their giant impact, they send a message to all others. “We go with the fascists, we are not on the side of humanity but on the side of profit”. That creates dangerous dynamics.

It was limiting them. To truly maximize profits they need to strip off all limits. I’m not joking. Really not. This is why capitalism and fascism go so well together.
