I would personally recommend Strawberry if anything since development of Clementine has been dead for a long while now, whilst it’s also of fork of Clementine too with frequent updates.

Absolutely!

This is why Linux rules tbh, little to no rules what so ever in terms of customizing your desktop whilst also not having shit like this too like having so much bloat and constant ads, like telling you to install edge everytime whilst protecting your privacy too.

The fact that windows is now becoming Apple 2.0 is kinda crazy ngl lol, thought shouldn’t be surprising cuz every tech company is now doing enshittification at this point.

A lot of folks would recommend Ubuntu as a start but it’s very bloated af so starting on Linux Mint or Zorin/Elementary OS (if you want a windows/macos experience in your distro) would be a great start imo

Yeah frrr tbh. Like their competitors offer more services in comparison and automatic encryption that doesn’t force you to use a password everytime you want to encrypt your mail etc.

Well, time to delete my Wordpress account then. Gonna be a lot of content I gotta archive before then. ;-;

With all the changes that Reddit has made recently esp with the API changes, it definitely did leave salt in my mouth alongside how increasing toxic the Reddit community had become in comparison to when I joined the community but the small niche communities that existed on Reddit did honestly made it harder to quit due to the lack of communities outside, which is another big problem with centralisation, esp in the modern internet as it makes you rely on platforms you may not necessarily like due to big issues like social isolation etc.

When I found out about this, this isn’t simply excusable anymore and I would rather delete my account over having my personal data being sold for profit (which goes completely against the early ethos of Reddit as a whole but being semi owned by Conde Nast, this would have been inevitable) despite the fact that I have been thinking about deleting my Reddit profile way before this issue.

Surprisingly, I honestly have had no regrets deleting Reddit out of my life and honestly I do wish I would have done it sooner, I’m far less frustrated, I’m starting to think more constructively again and I feel way way less dependent on it.

Can say, I made a good choice there tbh.

Signal was very slow to putting this out icl but at least it’s an option now, which is better than none at all, though sucks you still got to put your number in it though to use it.

Anything better than Telegram (which is has no E2EE via DMs by default) and WhatsApp (which is owned by Facebook) is good step in my eyes despite Signals flaws, cuz we honestly need less big tech controlling our media consumption in our world today.

Not really surprised about the irony considering the UK gov was willing to ban encryption and apps like Signal, just so they could further spy on us.
