  Yup. And also we should advocate for our rights more locally. Organize with other people, raise awareness and do direct action.

  I think the most effective form of resistance is relationships and new local organisations and new structures that resist the forces of the state and of capitalism.

  If you are looking for some ideas, maybey you can look here or do your own research.

  Yeah, I don’t think it’s reasonable to give up in the face of it.

  You should make it as hard as possible for them to track you, use private OpenSource software, advocate for it and don’t be afraid if direct action, like destroying these cameras. The more people that do it, the harder it will be for them to do something about it.

  I understand, but wouldn’t the same problem occur, if the server for the website you download your software from or the server for your package manager would be compromised? Even if you would buy your software physically on a CD, there would be a chance someone has messed with the content on a CD.

  So I don’t really see this as a flaw unique to browsers. Am I wrong?

  This comment shows that you know less about computers, than you may think. You can definetly make end to end encryption work using a Website. JavaScript runs client side. So as long as you trust the encryption algorithm (which in elements case you definetly can, because it is OSS), the encryption is safe and your unencrypted data never leaves the device.

  They aren’t walking back anything. They just repeated their claim, that “most people won’t even have to give their IDs, because our AI will read all your messages and decide if you’re 18”

  I think your comparison to slavery is a bit overblown and minimizes the tragedy of actual slavery. But I agree with the sentiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it can definetely be a great solution, but the idea for this was specifically to be more independent from big tech. We already habdle stuff like registering for camps over Office 365, but I wanted to introduce Nextcloud to replace that, because I don’t think it’s a good idea to let Microsoft handle personal data of like a hundred people, that probably don’t even know, that they are giving away their data to Microsoft there. But again, I don’t wanna judge anyone for using things like that, Nextcloud can be a pain to maintain, especially for non technical people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I guess the plan would be (if we decide to use an old labtop) to have a similar backup system to my home server, so one daily incremental backup with something like borgbackup to a newly bought external hard drive and automated updates using watchtower (I heard major nextcloud upgrades can be tricky though, so I an not shure if it would be a good idea to automate those). I guess it would still suck if the laptop unexpectedly failed and we would have to scramble to find new hardware though, how long would you expect an old laptop to last as a server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I totally get what you mean, I am kind of expecting that aswell, but at least I know, that other scouts groups in the area already have a nextcloud and it is actively beeing used, so I have some hopes in that regard. But yeah, getting them to use something like Matrix is probably pretty unrealistic.
