The question is can governments figure out where the server location is ? like there r extensions which allow u to c where the website is hosted

I don’t see what’s wrong with it tbh… It’s what’s Substack has been doing all along… also it clearly says “if you make quality content”… which makes sense…

I feel like people here see an Odysee link, and their natural reaction is to downvote … 🤣…

like they say we hate YouTube, but no other alternative is “acceptable” for them, sorry … you have to suck it up if you don’t want a monopoly

Also, Odysee just removed all ads from their platform… while YouTube is preparing to inject them inside the videos themselves…

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

the quality of this picture has gotten so much better over time, it’s strange

And went downhill afterwards

It’s funny you you say that, because we humans as a species are so fascinating, we harnessed many forces of natue, and we came up with mindblowing ideas, yet when it comes to the concept of a government, we think that’s the only system that can work, and the only way that we can live, it’s sad honestly, governments abuse their power, you can’t get them to stop it… unless you want a bullet…so so much for being civil

I’m always that bro, I mean I used to be back when I had friends…

i stopped to tie my shoes and they kept walking… I lost them

Idk it sounds like a compliment…lol

“you’re such a snowflake ❄️”

me: 🥺👉👈

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

From your experience is it really unstable ( annoyingly buggy ), or do they just call it that and it stable really ?

Sid exclusively gets security updates through its package maintainers. The Debian Security Team only maintains security updates for the current “stable” release.

Is this a good thing ?

What makes you think it’s dead?

used to use Instander to browse Instagram privately

That’s far from true, if you installed it on your phone, it’ll collect all the data that the official Instagram app collects… Does it give you the option to use an anonymous account ?

there’s another project called Honista, but I quited Instagram years ago… So idk about it’s features…
