Awesome, thank you very much!

No worries, I didn’t take it that way at all. I, really, do appreciate the insight and resource!

Absolutely agree with inaction is on the side of injustice. Thank you for your input, I learned a couple of things I didn’t know about. Was just curious, and hope I didn’t come off as leaning in favor of anything. lol

So, I don’t support the killing of anyone… regardless of what “side” you’re on. But, to play devil’s advocate… What’s your opinion on Ukraine implementing the social credit system, around the time they got invaded? And, this is the second time Russia has invaded Ukraine in a short period of time, why is it only now that we saw every website on the internet with “Here’s what we’re doing to support Ukraine”?

For most of the music I’ve seen, the artists give you the rights to use their music. Like in videos, games, etc. Which I would assume includes remixing.

Graphene OS does a great job of protecting your privacy. Although, since it doesn’t rely on google services, unless you want to sandbox some, most of the time you don’t get push notifications. Which isn’t that bad.

And in terms of actually owning things, instead of relying on subscriptions services, that’s what Web3/NFTs are trying to solve. Despite the fact that everyone loves to shit on them, and they’re in their infancy, their utility far exceeds overpriced pictures. Right now you have to indefinitely subscribe to Netflix or Prime to access movies and shows you’ve already paid for, but if you bought an NFT of the movie, no one could gate keep that media from you. Musicians could cheaply disburse their songs to people and not be price gouged by Spotify, and any digital asset you bought would truly be yours, including video games and their skins/weapons/pets/etc, with the ability to resell those as you saw fit. As well, there would be an incentive for the studios that create this media to make them into NFTs, because unlike with physical copies, they would make a cut of every single sale that happens. So, they’d make money on the initial sale, and then a cut of you selling to a friend, your friend selling to someone else, ect.

What I think it, ultimately, comes down to is people getting, too, complacent and just accepting any ToS that’s thrown in their face, because they can be dozens of pages long, and we just want to use the service right then and there.

Yeah, you can literally type in anyone’s email address and find a good 2-5 passwords they’ve used. Nothing on the internet is safe or ever will be, unfortunately. Almost every single huge corporation has lost tons of data on its users, which can lead anyone to figure out way more information than they should about someone.

There was a video I watched awhile back, where someone mentions we all have something to hide or a reason for privacy. He goes on to say we have locks not only on our front and back doors but on our bedrooms and bathrooms too. My favorite thing from that was him talking to someone who says, “I have nothing to hide, I don’t commit any crime.” and his reply is, ok, write down all of your email addresses and passwords, so I can scroll through anything I want and read them. There’s a disgusting amount of data that’s being siphoned off of the general public, on a daily basis, and we should have better privacy laws. Take for instance the dad that learned his daughter was pregnant before she told him, because target’s algos were feeding him baby formula and diaper ads.

Alphabet is still making money off of you. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/03/google-says-it-doesnt-sell-your-data-heres-how-company-shares-monetizes-and

No worries. To be honest, I haven’t tried it. I just saved my bookmarks, uBlock filters, NoScript settings, and then imported it all in. I’m definitely going to try to create a profile in the future to, hopefully, make that process a little easier. haha

And you shouldn’t use it for anything sensitive. Anonymous browsing is great, but since you don’t control the exit node, the average user isn’t guaranteed absolute security.

Check out LibreWolf. Granted, anything you do to try to protect your privacy, nowadays, potentially leads to higher entropy: browser, add-ons, etc… It’s still better.
