Pretty nice looking assumption you’ve made, there.

Threads, and especially the people/company behind it, are categorically in opposition to the values of the Fediverse.

Seeing them join us would be like watching a Christian join a Passover Seder by wearing a yarmulke: everyone would be inviting and accepting in spirit but you just know the guy would bring up some inappropriate topics, excuse his own faux pas, and be silently wishing he could convert everyone.

Yeah, I’ve seen this before but I just apparently don’t have that option. All I have is “Mobile Data” which appears to leak a little despite being turned off…

Eye of the Tiger

What is your name?

What is your quest?

What is your favorite color?

I’ve been suspecting I’d need GrapheneOS for a while now. Might finally be time to jump.

I haven’t been able to find this setting. I’ve heard about it on other devices but mine doesn’t seem to have it.

Tried Aves at this suggestion. Really neat!

I’ve gone tons of places that say use Google Authenticator (only) and I just summon the QR code and scan with Aegis anyway and it always works fine. I’ve never seen a place that required a certain one.

Pun intended?

Whether or not it was acting human (and whether or not it was designed to), it still cheated and deceived. With the potential power, influence, and widespread adoption this technology could have, shouldn’t we be concerned about that? At the very least, isn’t this a poorly programmed tool not ready for GA?

My dog isn’t intentionally being a prick when he eats my sandwich off the table before I can get to it, but it’s still a behavior I condemn and would want to train out of him before letting him go to other people’s houses.

Interesting. I found RustDesk recommended as an alternative to AnyDesk. Do you have alternate suggestions?

SSH or RustDesk

I imagine you’d reach a point where you’d be able to deduce that you no longer need/should more buff.

Well…

I meant only to address what I specifically quoted. The feature of using multiple identities, separately for each contact, is baked right into SimpleX and works amazingly well.

What if I want to be fubo to some people, and MissCatPictures to other people?

Use SimpleX

Couldn’t you just pay them enough so that they don’t need a second job?

A little too the left

This is really great advice, I guess the middle ground has always been a bit of a struggle for me.

This echoed for me, I’ll remember it:

Privacy maximalism and/or FOSS maximalism etc is natural impulse when you first begin to grasp just how quietly exploitive, invasive, and commoditized the modern internet is. But it also leads to burnout and can be isolating if you are too rigid about it.

That’s easy to say, but it feels to me as if I have to make a choice between engaging and interacting with the people I love or adhering to my beliefs about how I should manage/protect my information. It’s a difficult spot to be in and it’s neither fair that I should have to make that choice nor fair that I should have to force it on others. That’s what’s bothering me.
