My gf's sister is going to study in France, what are laws there about VPN, torrenting, unofficial Windows and Office licence, could she get legal penalties for doing/having those stuff? Anything more I need to know about digital laws there?

@one@mstdn.io
Its really sad how many websites implement those

@glitcher32
Signal, I don't need anonymity, just secure chat with my friends from contact list. Only flaw is desktop program which is electron based and slow af

@greyor
Nothing else crosses my mind, so I hope it will work for you

@hypolite
With VPN you trust your data to them, not ISP. A lot of them are bad but there are ones which surve a purpose of not running around web butt naked imo, not pure evil

@greyor Rhytmbox can help you. It has Libre,fm, you just have to enable fm support in plugins.

@greyor
I think you can add Libre.fm in VLC, but I haven't tried it myself

does anybody here have any experience into #hosting on Infomaniak? What's their #privacy white paper? How's their support service? etc...

boosts appreciated

Thanks!

So new EMUI for Huawei just arrived and with it new bloat app Optimiser. Be sure to disable it since it sends all your private data to Avast servers

I did the impossible, switched 7-8 close friends to Signal. Trick was to reform dead Facebook group that we used to organise our drinking sessions, this will be used in somewhat similar matter.

@isolategab
Agreed for the lone wolf part, there are always creeps like that. For extreme neo nazis there is problem of blocking them on every major social network, they will become more sophisticated in their ways of communication and organisation and will start using Tor network or chat over Signal and other good security and privacy tools that will make those tools look like bad guys only tools (like bitcoin is/was). There is Gab concern for sure but I think its overblown

It probably is true, but I don't know about their threat in Europe (even eastern Europe), our great grandfathers actually killed nazis and they will never make anything solid enough to fulfill their goals, if they try they will be stopped in any way possible by government, people etc. Real nazis are almost extinct, people who dislike some particular minority are called differently, and I think America has this problem of making difference.

It's supposed to be Mastodon fork that respects freedom of speech, that's the only difference afaik, code is same as Mastodons. Different names are there to make difference between too, although code wise difference is very blurry. I don't know how community is like on Gab, but I don't believe all of them are nazis, and word nazi kinda lost its original meaning
