You’re already only using the account once per year. Just bite the bullet and delete the entire thing.

Possibly. Briar is mobile only as far as i know

I do believe it does have a desktop client.

Oh, i ditch family and friends who dont respect my personal data. Though its signal primary for me

Nostr relays over tor with snowflake proxy

True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.

Use Mastodon. You can use a server outside of your country. And even if your country attempts to find the operator, 10% of their global turnover of zero is still zero.

Thats true.

Are you sure you want to delete your account? This action cannot be undone.

Yes, no.

Yes.

I think there’s an argument to be made here of why are we trusting certificate providers anyway since that just adds another layer of centralization and a choke point for governments to attack. Why not use self-signed certificates and have each search engine indexer also index the certificate and point out how long it has been since it has changed so that you can trust whatever search engine you wish instead of these mega centralized providers of certificates. If kagi, google, ddg, and quant (for example) are all in agreement about the validity of a cert i feel its likely trustworthy. If they start disagreeing thats when it may be time to DYOR. Besides, TOFU is much easier to set up.

Openwrt made a router and the wrt2 is supposed to be made later this year i think.

But it’s a decentralized service! /s

The really nice thing is that the larger phone batteries get the more you get to use at 50% depth of discharge. My phone is 5,000 mAh and so I get to use 2,500 mAh of it. Once average phones start getting 5,500 mAh, that will mean I will be able to use 2,750 mAh. 250mAh may not sound like a lot, but it can go a decently long way.

That’s honestly one thing I’m really glad about. I’m legally blind, so pictures don’t honestly matter that much to me, and so I could really give a fuck less what the camera looks like as long as it functions well enough to act as a magnifier for me to read small print on things occasionally.

Like if I go pick up one of those frozen pizzas from the store and I need to read the box to know what temperature to set the oven to and how long to put it in. I use the camera to just zoom in on the print and read it and then leave the camera.

/e/OS doesnt interest me because its far to iphone(esk) in design. Though i might be able to flash LineageOS instead. I also want nothing to do with Google Play Services or even Micro-G. I even think Micro-G is too much of a compromise and won’t use it. If an app won’t run because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t run that app. If I don’t get notifications because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t get notifications. So be it.

So my device settings have the functionality built in to stop charging automatically when the battery hits a certain percentage. And so I have set it to stop charging automatically at 81%. I also use BatteryBot Pro from F-Droid to alert me when the battery rises above 80% or drops below 30%

I really wish this was available in the US. I’ve found myself able to hang on to devices longer and longer. So this would be perfect. I’m only charging my battery to 80% and discharging it to 30% before charging it again just to prolong the life of the battery because that’s the first thing that dies on most devices. Having a user replaceable battery again would be an absolute godsend.

I had never read that, so thank you. That was incredibly interesting. Isaac Arthur discusses black hole farming after the stars have all gone out, but as far as I can tell, eventually all the black holes would also evaporate and leave nothing but nothingness.
