Thanks.

The FSF has been making this call since a long time.

https://fedipact.veganism.social/ lists instances with their decision.

Went to the website in the Picture. It is mentioned there if you scroll down a bit - https://cure.org/

Twitter as a venue to allow the people being directly impacted by oppressive regimes

Twitter has played a large role in supporting said regimes.

This is a good time to make aware about an amazing privacy-centric & user-friendly alternative - Peertube. It is not a big network as of now but the benefits it provides over YouTube are large - it is a part of the fediverse. Of course, only through increasing participation will the network become bigger.

If you still wish to use YouTube, you can try third party front ends like Invidious or Piped on the browser; NewPipe(Also is a front end for Soundcloud, media.ccc.de, Peertube & Bandcamp) or LibreTube on Android.

If you only browse YT Music, you can try HyperPipe in the browser. There are many apps for it available on F-Droid, an alternative app store for Android. My personal pick is ViMusic.

For anyone concerned about their beverages. Following is a table of Recommended maximum daily intake of caffeine according to different age groups & categories: https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/food-safety/food-additives/caffeine-foods.html

FDA’s recommendations: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-much

For measure: 8 oz (227 g) of Coffee has 80-100 mg of caffeine or 35-45 mg of Caffeine per 100 g of Coffee. (Average, numbers may vary accordingly.)

This is a good time to make aware that an alternative exists - UnifiedPush.

So Godi Media has found a place here as well.

I am not here to entertain Whataboutery. I am not a shill for Tuta Mail and will abandon it as well if it does the same thing. I don’t rely on e-mail for communications. I only suggested Tuta Mail in the other thread because it is the least worst of them all.

Try Tuta Mail

Nope. Refer the links below.

Proton should be avoided.

Ah, this game. I love to pull it out whenever I am feeling bored and dried out by my other games. It’s an amazing and low resource intensive game. So to say, I like to zip across the map at subsonic speeds more than actually playing it haha. But I still get the sniper rifle whilst doing that and practice some sick ferrari headshots.

You can use third party frontends like Nitter on Web or Fritter/Squawker on Android (available on F-Droid) to still follow accounts for info without the requirement of having an account anywhere. With the condition that viewing is the only thing you can do.

I left Twitter over an year ago and I use the frontends I mentioned to follow about 20 accounts for info on varied topics.

These Privacy Policies are likely only for their website element.io considering it mentions ‘service’.

In the app itself you can disable ‘Send analytics data’ in ‘Settings/Security & Privacy’ and it sends no data whatsoever to the Devs.

I just surveilled the network traffic of my installed Element client and observed that it makes 0 connections to ‘element.io’ or ‘matrix.org’ or any other element-affiliated websites. The only connections made were to my instance server at a different service. So there is no possible way element can log my IP address.

If you’re still skeptical of the Element Desktop App then you can alternatively:

• Use a fork like SchildiChat which I personally use.
• Fork the Element Client and modify the code to suit your needs.

Again, Element is open source, whether or not it makes requests to the element service to purposefully log your IP address even if you do not use the official service can be verified by just auditing the code. (Good Luck with that, or just find a previous audit report on the web)

If you’re still skeptical and want to continue using the Element Desktop app. Just block element.io and eliminate any possibilities of the app phoning home.

Vague question. I will assume you log into and use the official Element web-client instance (https://element.io/). It is safe to say it logs IP Addresses for whatever amount of time similar to any other website on Earth that you connect to which is fundamentally obvious.

To mitigate this, as in to not make Element log your IP address, you have several options:

• Use a non-web client (desktop, mobile). (Only your instance server can log your IP)
• Use a a self hosted instance of the Element Web-Client. (The server self hosting it can log your IP)
• Self host your own web client and use it. (Only your instance server can log your IP)
• Use a different Web Client. (That server can also log your IP)

The rest depends on how the server you connect to, handles IP address logs. Some servers may retain it forever, some may remove it in a few days or weeks. Check up on your server’s rules & regulations (incl. Privacy Policies) or contact your server administrator.

Keyword: “allege”

It will certainly be a Mega-bite…
