Is nobody else concerned that “they” know when software is installed or uninstalled?

Just use matrix or xmpp. Signal is centralized. If they stop offering the service it’s gone forever.

It’s already forbidden to declaw cats in Québec since 2024. Even way before that, many professionals just stopped offering the service.

You are an optimist!

In French we have “iel”. It’s a mix of the male and female pronoms “il” and “elle”.

I use SeaMonkey as my usenet client. I prefer it to anything else for that.

I live an ad-free life since about 2010. But I do wonder what it’s like to see targeted ads.

People that don’t know advanced ways to organise bookmarks.

I2P is for whatever people put on it. It’s all the Internet services that already can exist, specifically behind a piece of software such as i2pd for example. It’s free, just setup i2p software on a computer. Then you can make some local services visible to it, for example a web server.

You can do whatever you want on i2p. Nobody knows who you are.

I wish they sold them by shits instead of by sheets. “This package is good for 100 regular shits or 50 creamy shits.”

It feels like Microsoft doesn’t remember how Cortana was received. Why don’t you fix Windows’ file search instead?

Am I the only one that would never change a car? Like you buy one, shouldn’t you keep it for 60 years? Why should anyone want to change a car? I had to change my car once because I’m Canadian so it rusted. It was awful.

I built my PC in 2003. I upgraded it 3 times. I still use the same case.

How times have changed. If you have used Windows 98, you were always the administrator. Your five years old brother could actually go around deleting random system files.

To bring some nuance here: many times “antifa” labels anything that’s different as fachist without doing proper research. For example, people doing viking/medieval cosplay for fun. Not to say that antifa are terrorists, just to say usually they are oppressing people by false accusations in my experience.

Every british tech-literate person should participate in I2P. The Internet should be freedom.

For a short moment, I thought it was a legit teletype…

You are confusing unique local adresses and link local addresses. Unique local adresses can only be configured manually or, in theory, with DHCPv6. On Debian, I edit the file “/etc/network/interfaces.d/<interface name>”:

• auto <interface name>
• iface <interface name> inet dhcp
• iface <interface name> inet6 static

•     address <unique local adress of your choice within the official range>
  

•     autoconf 1
  

•     accept_ra 2
  

•     privext
  

This gives you: autoconfigured IPv4 address, autoconfigured (slaac) IPv6 address, an IPv6 unique local address, temporary IPv6 adresses (privacy extensions) and your IPv6 link local address.

Yes, your ISP provides you a large quantity of adresses. Not really, the adresses has several parts. Your ISP provides you with the prefix. Your devices complete the rest of the address automatically. You can also use a DHCPv6 server, but I don’t and some devices don’t support it anyway. Yes, all those adresses are globally routable, they are “Internet” adresses. You can still use locally routable adresses too if you want, called Unique local address (look it up on Wikipedia), but that requires manual configuration.
