Didn’t Apple just have a whole thing about police being able to pull notifications because they weren’t encrypted?

That’s right, I forgot about the white genocide story. Thank you for mentioning

I believe it’s because most South Africans are white

Forgive me as my American-ness is blinding with this question, but what payment types would be the alternatives? Obvioudly cash/physical currency is one, but considering so much of Europe is cashless, I’m very interested to learn what card networks are popular overseas.

Then I definitely want to know the story! Larping?

Sounds like pulling cash at a grocery store/gas station may bypass that serial number logging from traditional ATMs?

I’m so excited for the Cocaine Salmon movie

Yeah, that’s the vibe I’ve been getting from Proton lately too. Again, worked great as a springboard for me, but now I’m ready to look at longer-term solutions

I miss when commercials had such a wild punchline that it becomes part of the culture

I second Lumo. I find it very good at compiling pretty good sources too.

Apparently we can’t have nice things (unwritten rules) anymore…

This happened near where I used to live and this totally tracks for how the workers are treated out here.

I worked for Amazon (a neighboring warehouse to this one, actually) for 2 weeks before I quit. They kept telling me that an 85-year-old grandma with arthritis wss beating my times and that I needed to pick up the pace. The floor manager also pulled me aside because I was 1 minute late coming back from break.

Came home with a tension headache and just never went back. This has been the ONLY time in my life that I felt justified not giving at least some kind of notice before quitting. The next shortest job I had was over a year and I tend to try to give employers more than 2 weeks if I liked the boss, and exactly 2 weeks if I didn’t.

I love how every couple years, they’ll do another surge of culling, but it’s never enough. What a legacy.

Thank you! I appreciate the links!

Would you happen to have links to some of your favorites? I’d love to start cutting off Amazon, but that’s going to be a journey… I know it’ll be worth it in the end though!

Yeah, I only heard about the Proton stuff a little while ago and was going to spend most of today researching it (and then all the alternatives if I do decide to switch).

But the reason I chose the Proton Suite to start out is because I feel it’s rock solid for entry-level privacy switching. Now that I’m a bit deeper into the privacy world (I’ve had Proton for around a year and a half now as most of my dailys), I think having multiple different platforms would decrease the risk of a total takeover as whoever would get in would be just that app (Like only using Proton for the VPN and switching email to Tuta)

If you want to DM me, I’d love to talk more in-depth about the struggle of de-googling in this current world

Yes, I’m really hoping I can last until we see if this Graphene/Motorola thing works out, but if I switch earlier, I was considering either a Pixel 9/10 with GrapheneOS or a Fairphone with /e/os.

Yep, which is why I want to use this time to get familiar with what apps I can so when this one gives out, I can switch to a Fairphone or Librem 5

I’m still pretty new to the foss community (just installed Linux Mint on a VERY old computer so I can get some experience under my belt!) But I was wondering if you knew of a way to download Waterfox without using the Play Store? Thanks!

At this point, the weeding is needed
