    Yes, you can do that when you have to vote for the lesser evil… and compromise!.. how about NO

    what about your principles ? what about setting an example for the future generations ? what are they going to think of their ancestors who lived under and had to work with evil systems because "that’s what they had to work with"

    I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, but we need to recognize these systems of control, and boycott them and I’m very glad to see more and more people waking up to the surveillance agenda and leaving Big tech… the government is also a control system, people hate to admit that because it makes them think they’re weak, but that’s not true…

    Especially in the nordic Europe

    we look up to those nations and we say it worked for them, so it’ll work for us, but there are many factors to consider that won’t play the same for you

    and i would argue that even when it works, it’s still susceptible to failure, change of rulers, bad policies accumulate quietly, being told to do something unethical for the greater good ( e.g. taxes )

    what about other places where it didn’t work? even after years and years of trying ( voting ), what do you call doing the same thing and expecting different results ? … when you try to remove a dictator peacefully and you end up getting bombed, remember that the Syrian protests started with red roses and ended with blood… anyways I feel I’m going way off topic here… but the point is give a central authority too much power and they’ll abuse it, if not now it’ll be later… so just don’t …it’s time to move on, we can organize ourselves without selling our liberties like our right to privacy.

    btw, I thought about this, a looong time ago, when I was thinking is this system rigged? young me felt there’s a conspiracy, but now I realize it’s just how it works, it demands control

    if you want to address the root cause of surveillance you should be demanding the government to change it’s ways ? Is that what you’re saying ?

    I don’t think it’s the lack of transparency or corruption by the government, I think that the very existence of a government ( a centralized authority ) leads to this sort of behavior, you can’t outsource your power to choose, some of your absolute liberty to a ruler and expect they won’t abuse it, you can’t have your cake and eat it with this system, a system where democracies act as Dictatorships, and sometimes they do it openly and all you can do is watch

    It’s difficult to parse when your brain defaults to “one of these parties are unfairly maligned” - when the truth is they’re both shitty.

    Oh, glad someone said it… this is a common theme on the Internet 😭… It’s okey

    It’s a shame. Some years ago I got a lot of value from both websites, but haven’t really followed digital privacy trends lately.

    when you’re a beginner you tend to accept advice from anyone in the field, this makes sense because you don’t know which advice to trust, but once you understand the principle, you look back and just know instantly who gave you bad advice vs good advice…

    If someone tells me to use a degoogled phone and later I see they’re using an IPhone, it’s not great look… ( for them )… It’s disappointing ( just an example )

    It’s such a time sink to gauge the value of everything by yourself.

    Whatelse you can do ? Not much… accept keep on learning, I enjoy these kind of stuff, and the more I learn the more I realize the tools we use aren’t perfect and they have many flaws… in technology I learned to be careful before adopting new technologies and not just jump on the hottest thing, I have to resist the Tech enthusiast within me if I wanna satisfy the privacy advocate ( the opposition within me )

    I think I got confused by this Lemmy post claiming it was taken over, not “attempted”. If it was taken over, then why would they shoot themselves in the foot?

    They stole their funds, git repos, subreddit… they might as well declare it’s the end of the website even though they still hold ownership to some extent … That’s my understanding of it at least

    Privacytools seems shadier though, even if they’re claiming to be victims

    I agree

    This is all really insane. But there are people here saying that privacyguides are reputable

    It is indeed insane, at least PrivacyGuides doesn’t push for shitty products and insult his followers for not supporting him, however toxicity towards other projects ( especially GrapheneOS ) is completely allowed on their channels…

    I’m not saying we should cancel them and never speak about them again, but if you’re a fan of PG you should hold them accountable, because they can do better

    As for Techlore, 😮‍💨…I don’t think there’s hope for Henry… he went too far, he earned the title of a “privacy scammer” for me… and the sad part is that he knows it, he knows he’s in it for a quick buck not to spread the message

    Defending ? so showing that Techlore is doing the same thing ( actually way more worse ) means I’m defending PT ?

    I’m not going into who’s more corrupt than the other, but I can provide a different source, if you think this one is problematic

    But yanno why I’m not focusing on Privacy Tools that much…A - because this post is about Techlore. B - Because the project is dead, so what’s the point?

    his shit website

    Using this language means nothing to me, and doesn’t effect me in anyway shape or form… I have no gain in the matter… they can both be down tomorrow, and I wouldn’t care

    There’s no pretending… if you actually click the link the first video is about the practices or Techlore, so I’ll make it easy for you :

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cEfJ1UTNvw

    The rest of the article, talks ( with proof ) about the betrayal of Jonah Argon, changing the website license for example…

    got butthurt when people created better alternatives that actually gave genuine advice instead of ads.

    Really ? Sounds like a very childish thing to be mad about… Especially when you realize there are many websites and blogs that are written by experts

    I’m not trying to be funny, I’m saying what happened, and simply don’t trust Techlore because or the lack of ethics…and going after the cash grab… What kind of Privacy minded individual drives a Tesla? Uses Apple hardware? Promotes proprietary solutions?

    genuine advice instead of ads

    Techlore literally said buy my course so you’ll have an ad free experience… And PrivacyGuides covers surface level stuff…

    never ever spread them as the truth.

    How did you know it’s not the truth…because I implied it wasn’t… and I don’t see it as something that couldn’t happen, people asked for MicroG support for years…

    ROMs without network support.

    I’m not a huge fan of trolling

    because they get money for doing it,

    I can tell you no Open source ROM gets funds by Google, unless if it’s a program… For example GOS received many rewards for discovering vulnerabilities in AOSP
