Nothing is safe.

You’re supposed to get fucked and enjoy it.

Have you ever tried anal, my beautiful gentleman?

I’m rooting for beer

Rumble and PeerTube

EDIT: I’m already paying YouTube with personal data and privacy.

Used AI to summarize article about misuse of AI.

Genius.

Recently switch to NextCloud.

So far so far.

Just use AI. People can’t tell.

They just wanna live an unreal fantasy and jerk off.

Finding and innovating new ways to fuck people with ads.

Yeah, Affinity was recently acquired by Canva.

We’ll see how that goes. For now, I’m using FOSS.

I recieved today an email from Affinity saying that their whole suite of softwares is 50% off.

I’m assuming more people will be migrating to either Affinity or FOSS.

I currently use FOSS but I also really love Affinity. Especially since it’s a perpetual/lifetime license.

Pixelfed already does support the image import from Instagram.

Mastodon doesn’t seem to support any import from Twitter/X.

I’m assuming account migration from the main social media platforms to be an important feature.

But I don’t think supporting ALL social media is realistic unless they all follow the same norms. Which I really doubt.

Libre/anti-libre is one of the problem to solve.

Cara seems to be working for them and for now.

For how long? I don’t know.

Another problem is related to the instance creation, management and promotion.

From my understanding, only tech people can do that, there aren’t many companies providing those services and it’s not something average users are interested in.

Yes and no, you and me both value software freedom so we both understand that.

Education is obviously part of the process.

But I think most people don’t really care if libre or not. Libre or anti-libre is mostly tech jargon for non-tech people.

They just want to be part of their own communities and be where the party is.

People chose Cara because they identify with the art aspect of this social network. They don’t care if it’s anti-libre. They probably don’t even know what it means.

The purpose of a federated instance like Pixelfed is to be a blank state. You can do anything with it. Any niche. Art in this case.

The issue here is to bring these people to Pixelfed and make them feel at home within their niche.

These people should create an instance on Pixelfed, a libre alternative to Instagram.

Brave isn’t perfect but seems to be my best option so far.

Most of the time, you can disable the ‘unpleasant’ stuff.

But no web browser is perfect.

Maybe Ungoogled Chromium could be good as well. But requires more tweaking and setting out of the box.

Currently, I use Brave. Not Chrome.

I have all the benefits of Chromium-based without the Google’s spyware.

I don’t see myself going back and forth between 2 web browsers. I prefer choosing one that fills everything that I need, sticking with it and moving on with my life.

But since Chromium is mostly backed by Google, I don’t know the long-term implications of using Chromium based.

Brave is Chromium based.

It’s not that simple.

I need very niche Chromium-based extensions for my work. They don’t yet exist on Firefox. Nor any replacements to my knowledge.

They aren’t ad-related, but I don’t know what’s going to happen to them.
