Just for FYI, Like teamspeak 3 you can self host your own stoat server, eliminating the fear that they need to comply with OSA. Just FYI
UK's age verification law is working exactly as critics predicted: a complete disaster.
Compliant sites lost 90% of users. Non-compliant sketchy sites saw traffic DOUBLE. On the bright side: Kids are now being taught to use Tor browser.
Congratulations, you played yourselves🧵
Map of the EU showing what countries are in favor (red), in opposition (green) and undecided (yellow) about Chat Control. The undecided ones must be contacted to stop Chat Control: Estonia, Germany, Greece, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Romania. While the Swedish government leans in favour of chat control, it needs parliamentary approval.
🚨Our governments are about to decide whether 450M Europeans deserve privacy - or not.
Help ensure your country says NO to Chat Control: Call you local representatives!
Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #privacy

Oh I forgot to add I already did send an email to the local reps myself, apologies for not adding that!
3. Give me thousands of dollars to go off and live in Japan instead, there at least people take personal boundaries and privacy seriously.
If they do nothing that’s on them, if someone does something, they get a pat on the back and a gift if they register on signal.
(5/5)
I will never be using the platform again no matter what anyone tells me. This should give them a prompt of action. If they don’t like that then they have options:
Non extreme
1. Take action, send the email or call to the representatives
2. Contact me on signal or SOL
EXTREME

Spread the darkness and make it lit!
As a wise Video game character once said: “Don’t just say shit, win shit”
Here’s what I did:
I sent a text on where everyone in my family is, Viber about my concern and encouraging action and that if the law passes....
3/idk
All I can encourage everyone reading is be loud and ACT Loud. Send your reps an email to oppose them whenever undecided or supporting, Also sent for your friends and family to at least be aware or let them take action, especially that fight chat control site is available in multiple languages!

I am tired of putting that mask on so I’m taking out, thread with no specific up to count. Especially since there’s one day left it is time.
Let this serve as a reminder that we have ONLY ONE DAY before the parliament decides for #ChatControl

All I can say is thanks for the reminder, I was supposed to change my email anyways so might as well secure it more while I'm at it xD
Next up is a video essay because let's just say the Internet has or is becoming so messy it is about time I ranted and make calls on video 👀
I just wrote my report/experience with using 2 different devices for the sake of dual distraction management or digital minimalism. For better clarity I recommend reading.

I ironically realized that my posts now has been about shitty M$ and recall and signal.
Don't worry I still have projects work in progress I'm not here to just do this and be a hypocrite or whatever.
If LTT is making a video about Recall, this really cannot be emphasized enough at how bad recall is for privacy (granted it's not the only one thing but it's nice to get mainstream attention). @signal.org gets an honorable mention which is amazing:

Doing god's work when most people needed it! And this is exactly why I'll keep using Signal from this point. Thank you!
The truth is privacy is a journey, not a destination.
For example: The goal is not just to install a private browser, but to continually refine browsing techniques that offer evolving usability and privacy advantages in alignment with your values over time.
Bluesky isn't safe either:

The harsh truth is truly federated platforms like Mastodon are far more resilient to this situation. It would be fantastic to see Bluesky fast-track its goals of becoming more federated.
Honestly I do not, at all regret Joining mastodon as a whole, I love the confidence of interaction and the community for that around I had, which goes to show. And with @privacyguides.org getting the ActivityPub switch on, my friend joining on Pixelfed, stuff's going to be more fun than on Bluesky!
site has cooked, should be avaliable
Non Blog Site will be down so I can resolve what carrd.co was nagging me about, according to them it takes up to an hour to initialize, by then when it's done though I should be able to verify the domain on my new mastodon account heh.

Before investigating on Gaming Privacy. I've been tired of governmental bodies trying to undermine encryption so I thought to write my own piece about it and why the consequence is dire...
Clarification: GD = Geometry Dash, Bot the Discord Bot.
Safe to say I'm officially a @techlore.tech Moderator now. Honestly did not expect that time to come and I'm grateful for actually, for how many times I tried to become a moderator on discord servers. My last big positions as staff was Co-Owner of GD Bot and a Discord server with around 1k members.
Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online.

as I'll slowly transition them that is, they should look similar but different...
