The GDPR ensures there’s no mailing list you cannot unsubscribe from, if they won’t let you it’s not a good thing

Note: The “Key Verifier” one is supposed to be tied to E2EE on Google chat platforms or something on those lines, although you shouldn’t be using those and go for a safer chat instead though

If i recall, it’s the one managed by the community instead of the Mozilla Org

Here’s some info on why Brave is to be avoided

Why the hell would you maintain the original name when you know Nintendo is chasing forks?

On Android i use Perfect Viewer, and on Linux i use Mcomix straight off the APT repositories. Quite willing to switch if better alternatives appear though.

Invite-only and no clear way to get said invites

Thanks! Need to see if they have documented their datasets AND are actually public

First i hear about it, any links?

Thanks!

Revolt, can be self-hosted and all, not federated

The “distro” I’ve been eyeing is Snikket since it’s all in one with batteries included, it’s only notorious lack is bridges which is the reason i didn’t jump into it right away when i saw it (LOTS of contacts on WhatsApp, some on other Zuckerberg properties, so will likely need to do it, let’s see if the recent EU legislation leads to force them into interoperativity)

I think my doubt was less “Can they do it?” (as i believe they can, should have in mind the transcoding limitation as i didn’t knew) and more “SHOULD you do it?” given that it’s gonna be filled with movies/series/whatever, and it’s still a megacorp product

And yet again i feel like XMPP is the way to go, but depends on setting up a server and managing it, i for one don’t feel like managing servers in my free time, i do that at work all day 😅

What of the alternatives like Matrix or XMPP? I haven’t explored these well yet, is it easy to have multiple profiles with those?

I’ve used one of those Synology devices for something at work and really liked the interface and all that, everything worked well and without issues and with minimal admin required (which is my main issue, i don’t really wanna admin stuff in my free time), but will that work when what you want is to set up a NAS media server thing full of downloaded stuff despite being a commercial thing that may or may not phone home at some point in our sad enshittocene? I do believe it works for this but haven’t heard much in this community related to this, it’s usually people advocating to set up a normal machine as a NAS

And once again this XKCD applies

It’s email, that’s the best you can get with email, if you want to have more privacy, DON’T USE EMAIL

I have reliably upgraded Mint in place the last, dunno, 5-6 major releases or so, works exactly as well as Ubuntu’s
