    Their media is filled will propaganda, plus so little thought they can't realise it's easier for the US to attack you in the US than China to attack you in the US.

    Arch Linux Installation Guide = How to take back control over our own computing, plus some extra tech skills, useful irrespective of your occupation or hobbies. I would suggest doing it a second device, like when already buying a new computer, so your stuff stays safe on the old one.

    I do want to help spread our gospel, but I think that most people in those platforms are just to far gone to even care.

    Backdoor them with the ideas.

  • **Not just locally on the device!** There must be an error when calling or texting the number. Data must work for internet for Signal, VoIP, etc. This is for a UK PAYG SIM. There should be no way for anyone to demand my number, or for me to leak it, or doing so should be irrelevant as it does not work.

    **Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers**, not the lock or bell. Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn't stolen, attacked or bypassed. [Best answer yet](https://lemmy.today/comment/11113163)

    Banned for suggesting violence against children is bad after being harassed by another commenter. I reported them, removed all contributions and withdrew my participation in that community until the issue is resolved. Turns out they are a community moderator and banned me for reporting them breaking their own rules on civility. They continued to provoke and escalate after I disengaged.

    Lemmy is software anyone can develop and everyone controls, libre software, which makes it very hard for Lemmy to abuse us. To keep it this way, share the ideas of software freedom. 1. Always check its software license: always check it is [libre software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html) (video guide [here](https://youtu.be/Ag1AKIl_2GM)). 2. Also avoid service as a software substitute. 3. Libre software plus decentralisation [federation or peer-to-peer] is ideal. 4. Remember, ['open source' misses the point.](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.en.html) If we focus on warning against individual apps, we must repeat our time and effort everytime new malware appears. So, target a common property: its software license. **With proprietary software, we are not the user, we are the used.**

    With anti-libre software, we are not users, we are used.
