For self-defense it’s actually okay.
I’m vegan - I compost the rich.
What a strange universe we live in. The old US: pushing surveillance and police laws to fight terrorism, drug dealers, and pedophiles. The new US: has a president who is of open to terrorism by supporting far right groups and storming the capitol, has a billionaire on his side who really seems to be on some psychoactive substances, and now this.
Windows also used to show me the ugly face of Trump in the start menu even if I didn’t ask for it. That was more than 4 years ago. Recently was accidentally hovering over some ‘copilot’ button in Edge of a friend. And again - pop-up with Trump. So yes: fuck Windows, fuck Microsoft
I support the cause in general but: Signal is not federated at all. It may seem like a decent alternative to WhatsApp but is it really? It still falls under the same US jurisdiction. Let’s say the US gov starts agressively prosecuting dissidents and certain minorities (they already do): can and should we still use signal in this case? I don’t think so. Sadly i can’t name a much better alternative. Maybe matrix. But it has other issues.
Happy to be inspiring :)
TL; DR you just made my day :*
