NOFAPSA

I didn’t think I could be replaced until now.

Thanks to OP for sharing this cautionary tale and thanks to everybody in here giving helpful advice.

I would like to go the route of self-hosting everything but y’all are scaring me off email.

my OS will be tied to my ID, but as long as my online traffic isn’t that should be fine.

lmao

Here’s one way that liberal fascism maintains control:

• Maintain control of everything
• If control is lost, create mass hysteria about “social media”, “kids,” “addiction”, “islam”, “immigration”, whatever, etc.
• Steamroll everything.
• Regain control.

It’s how they got TikTok, etc. It’s how they’ll try to get Lemmy, Linux, VPNs, etc. The wild part is how many lib “allies” will fully support this.

Yes, it’s a trap like everything else. It’s another front in the struggle.

How else is data pressure supposed to flow?

I think the best frontend for whatsapp is the trash.

Find a better option. Probably Signal/Molly.

I’m hopeful that imperial slop fails on liberated devices.

This is not a religion.

It can be if you want.

Yeah that’s why fascism is winning. Nobody is willing to stand up to the fascists.

You would lose all the worthless proprietary software that you’re hoarding for no reason.

I’ve seeded hella stuff just by forgetting to turn off my torrent program.

Don’t VPN into those evil, authoritarian countries.

I use Windows at work. It’s not a personal computer. It’s a computer controlled by microsoft, capital, etc.

In my personal life I prefer freedom and control.

Oh man. I hate this corny phrase. Stop shilling for “ownership”. Braindead capitalist ideology.

I am deeply curious about learning about Cuba

So go visit.

I was anti-piracy in the past.

Hopefully you realize the error of your ways and the vast damage done by the violent control of free information. The hegemonic narrative around “ownership” serves capitalism, not humanity.

There’s absolutely nothing “positive” about Cuba joining a genocidal empire just so they can broadcast commercials.

It’s uncountable.

What could the US or American companies do to stop them?

The empire is literally bombing and starving the planet for the sake of capitalism and its MIC.

They’re already murdering cubans for nothing.
