Let’s say there was a perfect API present and WA allowed you to use a completely FOSS app witch didn’t share any data with FB. But still FB will know everything they can still access all the metadata like earlier. The only thing they can’t access is analytics data but that can be easily blocked by DNS. And as far as Add ID goes use graphene OS it protects against that by giving each app different ID. So even if FB collaborated with other services to collect data as they do they won’t be able tie all back to you.

Aah… Embrace absurdism.

What @jagged_circle said but also. Even if you were lucky enough to be born in a country where you don’t have to give government I’d and thumb print just to get a goddamn sim card. It is still feasible to trace it back to you if you are not careful and there are a lot of ways you can slip up.

Like if you use a phone/device which is know to be yours then even if you buy new prepaid sim card anonymously your ID will be revealed due to same IMEI.

Or if you turn it on in a public area where cops know that you are there (maybe because they caught you on a camera) even though this is public area how many people connected to that tower are using burner sims, and how many of those are into extreme privacy or into something they suspect you to be involved.

And so many other scenarios and at the end it will come down to humane error which will be very tricky to avoid in this case. Whereas in case of being online you can properly setup iptable rules. Qubes, whonix, etc. Test it yourself that even if your VPN/TOR/I2P/etc. Goes down you’re not reviling your true IP

Yes but, I ain’t joining a random group I found on Internet on a service which has my phone number. Which can be easily traced back to me. Because I don’t know who all the members are then if someone is on the list then that will put me also on the list. If it was something like matrix where even though the group could be unencrypted and open to all. I can use Qubes and whonix to make sure that some stupid idiot doesn’t put me on a watchlist I don’t want.

But if I know all the members and I or someone I trust controls who can join then anonymity isn’t a concern security is and in that scenario yes I’ll definitely be using signal. I already am. But not here.

Your kid is currently terrorising snails.

That’s why you should switch to Tor and I2P

Don’t shake your leg to much or HDD will go bust

Depends on the size of data, use case like will you be doing any constant updates to it or just reading, you mentioned you have several files so do you need joins if so what will be an approx max number of joins you’ll be doing on per query basis, I guess you said CSV so I’m assuming it is structured data and not semi structured or unstructured.

Few more questions, do you need a fast indexing but are not planning on doing any complex operations, areyoiu going to do a lot of OLTP operations and you need ACID. Or are you going OLAP route. are you planning on distributed database if so then which 2 do you want from CAP, do you want batch processing or stream processing,

I’ve few dozen other questions also

Oh I didn’t know that. Sorry I was living my life to the fullest sailing the high seas 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I already do 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I think wiki feet is licensed under creative common

Other big issue is they didn’t consult the Open source community. They could’ve been just straight with us and told us that donations aren’t cutting it and then community as a whole could’ve come up with something to monetize. And even if it ends up being advertising they could’ve worked with community to implement in such a way that it would respect the try reason why most people switch to Firefox to escape Google’s surveillance. And maybe I can stop daydreaming about an utopia

But what about those of us who are running degoogled GrapheneOS.

Obligatory XKCD

Yeah it is… Good for OP he has a life. Sadly I don’t.

You should use spottube it doesn’t require an account. Right now even if you switch VPN Spotify will know it is still you since you logged in.

Sadly MB has retired.

I usually just use a fake name generator to create a name and use it as a username this takes care of my inability to think of random usernames, birth date and other stuff that most websites these days ask. And it also makes me look like another dumb idiot and not a l33t haxor.

Using signal for SMS was never a good idea. It may give users a false sense of security. And as far as I remember signal dropped SMS before google rolled out RCS. If apple agrees to implement RCS then I could see Signal adding this feature back.
