I have found that even when people are conscious of the “technocratic & surveillance” state of the world, they still dont change their habits. Just like “this sucks” but they dont bother on looking for alternatives.

Even when I tell them about E2EE services, or the fediverse, they’re like “that sounds awesome”, but they never try it. Once I had a friend try Pixelfed and they loved it! I was so happy hehe but it goes stale after a few days, since other friends didnt switch. But were both telling others to switch sometimes.

My family uses Life360 for safety or emergencies, and I managed to switch them over to Paralino. It was all working seamlessly until they suddenly decided they wanted to go back, for whatever reason. I don’t know what it was, they wouldnt say, but it frustrates me that they would prefer giving out all out location info in rreal time to a company that has had many breaches and has sold such data, compared to a small one that can’t even access such data, and its just a few bucks. Idunno.

Adnauseam Silently click-spams ads to drain their bandwidth, with the purpose of making the horrible advertising business unprofitable.

Ironfox & Vanadium as main search, and Tor as the default, for opening links.

There’s a reason why they drugged soldiers in war. It sucks :/ they think of us as disposable once they fill us with patriotism propaganda.

I strongly believe nobody is entitled to keep a registry of the sites that we visit online. Not the gov, not your ISP, not your carrier. Thats why its essential for me.

A few sites wont load sometimes, which is my only exception to turn it off, and then on again, but its a habit i have gotten used to and its not that much work, given the benefits of an always-on trustworthy VPN.

Theres the Daylight Computer, that has a 60fps display which is “like e-paper”. (eink is the propietary name, epaper is the general name of the tech)

I wish this tech could receive more funding for research and development.

`+ e-ink variant o.o if possible?

How does Obscura compare? @Charger8232@lemmy.ml They’re pretty innovative imo. Its cool that VPNs are doing new stuff, like Mullvad’s DAITA.

uhhhhhhhh

do newer “AI Disturbance” filters work for this?

This project can be pitched to organizations like EFF or Privacy International. If it develops well, maybe ROMs like Lineage or Graphene can integrate the auto-apply filter (optional) in the native camera app.
