Here's my solutions: 🔹Forget about email, it's a garbage outdated centralized protocol with zero privacy. 🔹Forget about chat apps, they are all centralized and compromised, use Nostr DMs with burner npubs. 🔹Use a VPN for normie stuff while you still can, and TOR for everything else. 🔹Forget about browsers, including the Tor Browser. You can't win that battle. Even if you hide your IP and disable Javascript, you will get fingerprinted. The web is dead anyways—full of bots, ai generated slop, ads and trackers... you won't miss anything trust me. Use foss apps and RSS feeds instead. 🔹Ignore all privacy services from companies, specially the ones that have Terms of Service's and Privacy Policy's. They are all centralized and easy targets for govs, future honeypots. 🔹Ignore all 'decentralized' alternatives that have a shitcoin attached. THEY WON'T SURVIVE LONG TERM. #privacy #opsec #cypherpunk

Foss apps and RSS feeds?

Use a RSS reader like this:

GitHub

GitHub - spacecowboy/Feeder: Android feed reader app

Android feed reader app. Contribute to spacecowboy/Feeder development by creating an account on GitHub.

and add your blogs/articles/news/whatever sources, your life will never be the same.

Do you have a opinion on Lokinet? They use the OXEN framework, which the Session App uses.

Ignore everything that has a shitcoin/token/blockchain attached.

Acknowledged, but you seem to have an expectation that new tech should come for free. There is always a cost, the expertise is not built on the backs on peasants.

Id rather donate to devs, then have a protocol dependent on some shitcoin that 100% sure will die after a year or two.

Sounds like a fearful way to live in a world that’s already filled with Maya

So basically get off the internet?

It is for you own protection, of course! 😡🤡🤮

Decentralized, open protocol… Kaspa.

🤡

You can feel that way if you’d like, but they’re your words and I’m not wrong.

It seems pretty simple on the surface to me, just switch to technology that will use BECH32 addresses. The key pair model usually entails a functionally reasonable underpinning.

Building your business on the open-protocol freedom stack makes the laws irrelevant to the propogation and realization of the idea. It's the only way to have a chance at true success.

1000%

@Obscura VPN ftw

I’ve already noticed this with proton. They won’t allow your email to receive verification emails without first linking it to another backup email… so now I need to compromise the anonymity of my proton mail with a link to gmail or yahoo? That defeats the whole purpose. Same with signal linking to phone number (though I at least trust the encryption is good). We need EVERYTHING to be permissionless systems. #decentralization #nostr #signal #protonmail #thefuture #futuretech #censorship View quoted note →

@Skipper can you explain “foss apps”?

The danger is using them after they become honeypots but before it’s revealed. How many are already compromised and what would it look like if they were? Which one would you target first if you were a nation-state?

FOSS = Free OpenSource Software The Free stands for Freedom. Opensource means the code is public for everyone to see, use and change.

The F stands for Free, not Freedom Don't write RMS out of history, and I hope yr error was only ignorance and not something more sinister

I think you may have edited yr comment from what I replied to Cheers, this new version is better
