Instead of regulating dangerous closed-source social media algorithms, the government wants to survey us to keep us “safer” tyranny is always touted as the “right solution” to keep the citizens safe.

You think these laws provide safety? Even if they dismantled all antiterrorism laws made after 2000 they would not expose shit. They have doing this to keep every microtouch of dissent under control.

I saved that one. Will look into it later.

Oh this looks interesting, I'll have to gawk at this a bit! Thanks!

This is a good resource that I did not know about, wish I had when I started my whole boycott the US stuff. Sure I have been getting off of the Google services longer than that, but I was using CUPS long before I really had any idea about FOSS (sorta, it was the early 2000’s once I had my own computer and printer I dropped CUPS for a while). I got into Google docs in the early 2010’s but was out of them nearly as fast because I felt it was easier than OpenOffice or NeoOffice or whatever it was called that I was using on my Mac. Either in some time between probably 2017 or 18 I got into pihole which helped me see my way out of Google things (minus search and youtube). I quickly started getting weird ad combos in youtube so I got premium. Trumps whole 51st state BS got me to look into what money I was sending to the US, I cancelled all my services and replaced them with Canadian things, minus youtube and search but youtube I was now using an ad blocker with. I would later switch my search engine with ecosia. Ecosia was still shilling for the Google even if they stopped using their results they where still using Google and Microslop for ads, but I moved to searXNG before Ecosia became what it is now. I was out of my home one day and needed to search for something so I went to Google just cause that was easy and I realized how much crap was on it so I was forced to get wireguard working once again. I self host Nextcloud, Immch, Pi-hole (x2), scansJS, CUPS, vaultwarden, wireguard, and other things I cannot think of off hand. I will be moving to OpenWRT soon as well.
