Caveat emptor buying music from Qobuz, always try bandcamp first.
Protonmail has a free plan though.
Signal is too pedestrian. Without decentralization, your chat isnβt private enough as you donβt control the meta or the servers.
People are so dumb for still recommending bluesky it's just leaving one peice of shit for another that will definitely turn into a peice of shit like all proprietary software does

Fastmail is Australia based. Don't they have some of the worst laws regarding government backdoors?
Yes we do.
We even have laws that say we can't say we received a request on an individual level not a company level which means we aren't suppose to tell our lawyers.
Whatβs wrong with Safari?
Apple Music is also there, so I assume it is because Safari is Appleβs browser.

Why no Libby. At least for the US.
- Bluesky now owned by crypto-grifters
- "I prefer to meet people where they are" says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar. | It's Bluesky. The Nazi Bar[^1] is Bluesky.

Yeah it makes no sense to me how dumb people can be. Like
"Yeah let's move away from one proprietary social media that got enshitified to another proprietary social media that will definitely enshitify"
I don't know how many times people have to learn the exact same lesson before they finally figure it out but I think there's a fucking quote about that.

Spotify is pretty fucking bad too. They don't get a pass for not being Google.

Duck duck go is bing on the back end
Mastodon is tagged with Privacy but Signal isn't? I wonder what privacy means to OOP
When you implement OOP the right way, it can have decent privacy. Up to the coder, really.
Encapsulation == Privacy
yeah everything you post on Mastodon is public. I assume this is about the data being collected on you, which Mastodon doesn't do, there's no telemetry and such.

proton ceo supports trump
Not a good reason to leave Proton.
ACAB: All CEOs Are Bastards. You can switch to another corporation, but their CEO will also be a bourgeois bastard. Tim Apple attended Trumpβs inauguration.
If we're judging all products by the personalities of people who run them we'd have nothing left lol
? what
Maybe you have other information that I'm not aware of, but this article gives what looks to me a balanced review of whether Andy Yen supports Trump or not:
It's not a cut and dry pro-MAGA situation.
That article is a lot of "maybe" and "probably" for something that really should be cut and dry. If he doesn't want people to believe he supports Trump, there needs to be a direct condemnation of his actions. Tacit approval is still approval.
thanks for the random medium from someone unknown I guess?
