been thinking of getting a non-google email. anyone know a service thats good and that I can try out without fear of it becoming expensive/bad in the future?
I’m changing if it works reliably, has (most of) its codebase open source, and can be trusted to not forward data from my emails to arbitrary buyers. I’d be ok with paying a small fee for it if its really good!
Ideally I’d setup my own email server, but that isn’t a real possibility for me within the near future.
@thunderbird @markpitblado @adam 1/Would be good to add the F-droid link also:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.thunderbird.android
2/ Notice on F-droid searching for "thunder" does not show "thunderbird" (and I think it should)
@markpitblado @adam We do! While it's available on the Google Play Store it's also available on F-Droid and on our GitHub repo as an APK (https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/releases)
@SteveThompson And while that's true, people eat promises too easily also.
About emails / a side topic maybe...
I was just looking for another email address provider and not to get lied to about data (so not staying o gmail) and found this post... so I think it's worth moving emails or doing it via [... suggestions welcome...]
#yahoo #email wants me to agree to their T&C in order to attach a document from my phone to an email. This is unbelievable. Speechless. #ProtonMail
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
#Banks ...greed, power to create money exclusively (monopoly), usury pyramids, all going back to centre to then amplify back again using #debt #sold to people
Closing in on people with everything money connects to...
Examples of too much power:
🔴 Indirect #Slavery / Ownership of Debt
🔴 Possession of #Housing / Paperwork
🔴 #Economic-#attachment / #Food / #Material
🔴 Fiddling the #finances / cheating #public for private gains
🔴 Funding #wars / helping bullying smaller countries / get leverage using finance etc!
money = a #war on people
(it's not #innocent or without it's own #politics #developed of how to get power and treat people as just numbers and use them for more #numbers / #power.
I would continue to defend your right to speech. You dont see me threatening to block you at an instance or even a personal level do you?
You are supporting an enemy of the state if you are supporting Trump at this point. But even then you dont hear me trying to silence you.
Github is Microsoft - and you know so... why so surprised?
@Foxboron So we all know who has owned #Github all this time since #2018 so why so surprised?
Quick look at your profile and you seem clever enough but still using crap places?
So isn't there that over-arching point that eventually hanging out at crap places = crap in future?
(behind the scenes or in the UI) ?
#Microsoft since #2018 or didn't you know or pretended you didn't?
It's like you're asking for shit hanging around M$ Micro-$haft #MS #Copilot etc
Obi-Wan to Anikin: “I trusted you!”
@Foxboron the fire in the background is not a volcano but the wildfires caused by climate change after over-consumption of electricity to by AI companies in Silicon Valley.
@simon_brooke I've just flashed 3 devices with #eOS and like with Aurora on CalyxOS, apps from Google Play can be installed anonymously and I've not found any problem yet: banking, e2e messaging, fediverse and my news apps works just like on stock Android, thanks to microG I guess.
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea = GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....?
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
#Fediverse #Trust needs to be 'installed' / Trust spread better.
A way to #practise else you have #software but nobody practising.
Because #users online are not able to USE the social software - it's not just the software to develop but users to actually use it and find a way to trust more often (which opens doing things a lot more).
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
So just jumping in and giving trust to get trust or a small arena people can know it's managed / moderated a bit...
"Now it’s all about convincing people they need #crap they don’t need, less of it for more money and just making waste."

Humans never exercise "due diligence". We just rush to market, for profit, or to war. It's characteristic of our species, I think. 😐
"People are starting to think of stuff that has been worked on by AI to be "better" than a mere human could have done; "enhanced", as you say. This is, I think, a Very Bad Mistake."

Business - Making money from people with increasingly less service / utility
@lillyfinch It's more that I think new ways of business and methodology is increasingly 'clever' or cheating people towards repeat business or to sell more or do something less almost and get away with more dubious things...
...which was always the case with business (making money out of people) but as time goes on more clever in it's own field while people are not as clued up about how things are and work, what for and why it actually may not serve them and serve those that actually don't like already...
and I thought my picture was cool about words being added to #dictionary that once didn't exist but when people use get added...
AI Label... what would you want it to say?

IT ITself as #Enshitification
#Degrowth is a good term for helping cut this kind of IT (or all new things) because it's SEEING THAT ➡️ IT'S THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP who are DEVELOPING DOWNSIDES and #Enshitification as #IT ITself
Just another tool for modern #capitalism

Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:
"Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.
"In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.
"This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
Audio conversations welcome, feel free to ask for chat link - just 3 clicks and in!.
I use simple chat for browsers using Jitsi (any device - no software install. A basic zoom-style clone, opensource. No google account etc. )
Privacy and Non-corporate minded.
#FreeSchool hashtag for my collected gems and alignments.
Let's chat soon. We need to care about we do daily and others to also care else we are isolated. No other way around it but talk...
