I don't know, it seems pretty normal to sometimes have a platonic friend or family member in my room?

I don't wanna be like "no stay out" sometimes I want advice on what to wear or a second pair of eyes to look for something.

Also, some people live in studio apartments... or have kids...

There is no fucking way I'm keeping a bedside table like that. Specifically a bedside table.

How the hell am I gonna show people my room politely with vibrators, lube, condoms, rope, spanking paddles, rope & a hitachi wand hanging out fuck all that lol

Yeah that part.

I used to think so too, but last night I found this super cute and informative blog about recovering our free will online and now I'm super hyped about NNCP and mesh networks!! 🥹

I didn't say it was exactly the same as FF, I said it immediately improved my experience of the Internet

Auto logouts are IMHO better for society. Putting friction between users and addictive algorithms is a simple way to encourage healthier and more mindful habits. It also encourages better security education

If people have questions like this it's a good thing. It will make them aware of how much privacy they are giving up so they have to make intentional choices about how they design their digital life

Capitalists have really ruined the culture of UX by making it all about what's good for keeping people hooked & helpless rather than what's in our collective best interests

Please tell me more about myself, since you know me so well! Not all of us bootlick for meta

Meta directly opposes the collective interests and human rights of all working class people, so I think the better question is how come you don't care.

There are many good reasons to not use WhatsApp. You've already correctly identified 47 of them.

Well I was a Firefox user since 2005 and I'm really glad people responded with top answers to my questions like the one above. We all deserve better than the status quo.

I've been using LibreWolf for weeks and it hasn't broken a single thing yet... not sure what you're on about

I've yet to find anything that it broke after weeks of use... and anyway it takes two seconds to disable that for a few mins in the rare event it's necessary.

Overall an unambiguously better internet experience on LibreWolf coming from years of FireFox for me.

I'm sorry but that's absurd.

Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I've encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.

Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.

SMS works fine in any country.

And you can isolate your business requirements from your personal life.

SMS works fine.

There are exactly 0 good reasons to use whatsapp anyways...

Ironically as a fediverse user I had a visceral reaction to reading that. That sounds like absolute nightmare fuel to me...

economy collapsing and all we do is eat hot chip & lie

Thanks! There really isn't any reason for me to be targeted so I think I'm fine personally. Privacy is a collective value though, so I wish to maximize it as an expression of my values.

Yeah totally fair thanks for clarifying! I would love to minimize the use of SIM cards in my life. Maybe using a faraday bag. But I also won't be travelling to the US or ME...

IMEI number is out there and associated with home.

But if I remove the SIM, put it on airplane mode, and then travel, how can they detect my IMEI in a new location? Only by seizing the phone physically or perhaps if the emergency services settings leak it without a SIM right?

Interesting stuff tbh. At the end of the day I don't have strong reasons for hiding except simply not liking the invasion of privacy. So I'm fine. But it does make me want to ditch my phone entirely sometimes.
