listen up, if you don't allow politics to influence your choices of products, services, platforms and software, then you are directly supporting your political enemies.

Yo hi! I usually post things about linguistics, science, biology, environmental science, health, and recently, some stuff on numbers. I'm an advocate for freedom of communication
I'm a bunch of things but I mainly focus on environmental science, training people into becoming scientists, and an array of aspects about communication. A strong future for humanity and life depends on good community and good communication. I accidentally became a linguist, and I've made a few alphabets, my latest one is called NewEng and it does a good job of encapsulating both English pronunciation & its accents, and English etymology.

OpenVibe suggestion:
If post is longer than char limit for one network, alert, but don't disable posting.
Simple solution: keep the post in the edit field after posting to other networks, allow user to break it up.
Complex: auto-split the post into multiple posts; show an adjustable split marker.
Day 5 of testing Proton Unlimited and there's more problems, and the answer isn't easy to find online — even "clear proton VPN cache" gives Proton's website pages, *none of which* are about the VPN app. (Concerning.)
Anyway, to fix Proton VPN failure, try deleting the app data from this folder. 
Standard modern experience:
1. Problem on computer or phone
2. Research how to fix it
3. Finally trawl up some ancient and modern posts discussing it
4. Discover there's no fix because the fundamental architecture of modern tech has not been designed to accommodate various conditions
5. Abandon it.

Shirking responsibility baked into a societal culture is the most exhausting thing ever cos you can even explain it to other people, they'll always defend everyone else who shirks responsibility
I didn't think Severance could get any more sinister but S02E06 proved me all the way wrong. That was horrific.
What also scares me, somewhat irl, is that this kind of storyline is presented by none other than... Apple.

Using Proton VPN but Mullvad still detects that my connection is leaking DNS and WebRTC data 
Could someone please explain in laymans/ELI5 terms why Chromium is bad? I loosely understand why but I'm nowhere near clear enough on it to explain it to other people.
Listen, if you're intimidated by someone else's level of skill, and if that annoys you, or makes you think that they are showing off...
That's your ego speaking.
That's your ego assuming that everything is a competition and a challenge.
When someone has a high level of skill, observe & learn from them.
And when someone sees your level of skill and they ask you how you got there, you can help them! Give them your best advice. You might change their life.
"I'm a lover not a fighter"
Ok that sounds lovely but if you won't fight for what you believe in — which includes human rights and politics and people — then you don't love them, you just love peace for yourself; you are not a lover, you are apathetic. You prefer "peace" more than justice.
"Social media is making you hate people you don't even know, it's dividing you."
... Yes, it's perfectly ok and right to be divided from literal Nazis and fascists
Top tip for learning literally anything more deeply and powerfully:
1. STOP TRYING TO DO IT THE SHORTEST AND QUICKEST WAY
Get involved, get nerdy, immerse yourself, touch all of the aspects.
This forms a full and organic environment for the skill to root & grow.
2. DO THINGS WITH THE SKILL.
I'm currently compiling a bunch of info & guides for setting up your digital life to be secure, private, encrypted, decentralised, and unsurveillable and uncensorable.
Including:
VPN
DNS
Firewall
Antivirus
Encrypted cloud storage
Encrypted messaging
Decentralised social media
Decentralised messaging
Encrypted email
Blocking telemetry
This is especially important for those of you who live in authoritarian countries.

if you keep refollowing me in an attempt to get me to follow you back, i will mute you. (this probably only applies to generic faceless accounts so don't worry if you're a human account, i'll follow you if you are interesting for me & my path)
