Affiliate marketing schemes are untrustwothy by design. There's no better example of this than VPN "review" sites. https://blog.privacytools.io/the-trouble-with-vpn-and-privacy-reviews/

Nicht ganz frisch, aber relevant zum Beispiel für Signal-Nutzer*innen, und sicherlich viele andere Messeger: auch gelöschte Nachrichten können ausgelesen werden - hier von der britischen Polizei https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p062fstc

You can tell Google to fsck themselves with their "payment policy" by simply installing Wireguard from F-Droid which I've been doing since version 1 https://news.slashdot.org/story/19/10/16/2215248/google-ejects-open-source-wireguard-from-play-store-over-donation-links
Also tons of other cool #android apps on F-Droid, all open-source, carefully checked for privacy violations and built from source.

You can take clicks away from twitter when posting links from twitter here, just replace twitter.com part of link with nitter.net, lets not feed the beast if we don't have to.
@freddyym Jivesearch times out from my end. Ping shows 100% packet loss.
Using search.privacytools.io right now with DDG as a backup.
So I bought myself a sewing kit and I used it and I'm still alive!

#Servicetoot - #Google has unfortunately blocked many #Invidious instances so that they don't work anymore.I hope they will work again soon.In the meantime please use other instances which still work and do *not* access #Youtube directly because that would show Google that their plan works.I clicked through the instance list on #Github and here are the instances which still work:
- https://invidious.drycat.fr
- https://invidiou.sh
- https://no.invidiou.sh
- https://invidio.us

New article based on my last post.
I'm open to any feedback so feel free to leave a comment.
@kravietz Yep, seems there is no way around using the Apple ID.
@kravietz You need to jailbreak your iPhone to use Cydia.
There is one other option I read about recently but I don't know if it's usable right now: https://altstore.io/

Today is #worldmentalhealthday - Still mental illnesses are underestimated and stigmatized.
And there's still no reason why. (And there never will be.)
Care for yourself and the people around you.

@tobi Not the terrorists name should be mentioned but the names of the victims.
I know that the media doesn't work like this. But we should.
@tobi The name shouldn't be mentioned at all.
Terrorists want that media attention, want their name, the video, the manifest in the media.
He's a nazi terrorist mentioning the work of other nazi terrorists. That's all we need to know.

Last August, the excellent Gitlab forge migrated to Google Cloud : -(
https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/07/19/gcp-move-update/
As a direct consequence, the site is no longer accessible from several countries. Indirect consequence: sysadmin and developpers in these same countries can no longer download Gitlab's source code to install it on their servers.
@Framasoft provides a mirror of Gitlab Debian repositories: https://apt.gitlab.mirror.framasoft.org/
Feel free to share the information (in other languages if possible).
