And cache

You really trust a company(google) who warns users about malware from apks(non-google)… and then hosts plenty of unchecked malware in their own store. Im sick of this shit. I have my own friends distrusting me because of what google is telling them.

Google is corrupt

"In kernel development, debugging is very hard for several reasons:

• Documentation is often hard to find, and BIOS implementations may be flawed (more often than you would think)
• On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)
• Troubleshooting memory leaks is not easy. Tools such as valgrind cannot be used
• gdb can be used with QEMU and VMWare, but the kernel may have a different behaviour when running on a different emulator or virtual machine. Also, those emulators may not support gdb (example VirtualBox)
• Some features in the support for gdb in QEMU or VMWare are missing and gdb might even crash sometimes

All those issues are reasons for using a memory-safe language, to avoid them as much as possible.

Overall, the use of Rust in the kernel allowed for the implementation of a lot of safeguards. And I believe that it is, to this day, the best decision I have made for this project."

I think this is really cool.
But…
What it is: low bandwidth literal physical replacement of internet infrastructure. Often seen as a very extreme manuver.

Meanwhile: there are various overlay projects like i2p which, unfortunately, create new internets which [almost totally] reliance on the old internet. But they do cooler shit.

Diaspora allows for whitelisting visibility of posts to certain users(and servers… depending on where users are hosted)

POS does not consume resources.
This goes to show how low-effort the criticism campaigns are.
However… all cryptos have their health tied to bitcoin which is a large energy consumer. So the point is actually still very true (due to some other reason).

immediately followed by the rollout of Google Self-Driving Car Project Business -Waymo

I cant find any information that discusses the security risk. But it would seem that this transfering all content to the owner of the phone number is a standard feature.
So, maybe its not discussed because it doesn’t frequently happen.
It doesnt seem like a trustworthy way to ensure users’ content remains secure.

If someone trys to register with an existing number then it wont work if its already being used.
Im not sure on this^
Better to enable a security pin if you are concerned.
The traditional phone system involvement is annoying.

Are you a robot?

I guess not

”It’s important to maintain control of this phone number."

I strongly feel that this is false.

This is what flatpak brings to the table

I think ping is this: https://m.slashdot.org/story/64339

Diaspora has private groups. But many downsides.
For example… discovering people, first involves sharing with them.

If its just a game then why not run it in any old browser.
It doesnt matter much, in this case.

Be careful that unlimited ( more acurately labeled via the “high speed data” limit) is a widely used practice of false advertising.
Check the throttle speed to see what happens after you run out of data.

Not perfect:
But here are some ideas.

• reddit (tor)
• wikipedia (tor)
• certain niche direct sources (tor)

More ideal ideas:

• certain specific private source (maybe tor). Not reliable but high quality.
• large collection of raw links ( requires labor, skill. And yields imperfect results )
• searx ( mainly to share with friends and as a fallback. it is a pretty great premade metasearch engine when selfhosted)
• ready-to-go foss searchengine implementations. (Limited in scope, requires decent amount of “labor” and time. Requires setup phase and light maintaining. Extremely high quality results. Optionally invest money in various ways to supercharge. Perhaps recruit collaborators)

other stuff:

• creating private collections and bookmarks
• not using internet or using rarely or using in cautious way. Or not using www.
• focusing on distracting self with hands-on projects.

What am i actually using at this point? (Nothing is set up currently!).

• Sometimes i use tor 70% of the time. Sometimes i use tor 30% of the time.
• very frequently non www .
• duckduckgo when needed. [Often] without visiting the links
• niche sources (2, …)
• reddit

*this isnt perfect! but i think overall i think i dont spend much time traveling to websites for info.

Historically:

• searx
• searchengine
• dabble in scaling.

Future:

• selfhost
• scaling
• further isolation
• IRL
• other stuff. such as creating new solutions.

There is certainly room for immediate improvement here.
Im just lazy.

I dont need the internet as much as the internet needs me.

Lets say you live in a tribe. Everyone eats the same shit. Everyone does the same work. Everyone feels the same way. Why is it necessary to pinpoint an individual?
Any specimen from the batch is going to tell you what you what you want to know.
