That’s fair. At least I got an starting point now even if it’s hard at first.

Thank you!

Not OP, but, thank you for this, I will take a look at Amateur Radio.Got any advice (or more like pointers) for self hosting, privacy and security? To me, it seems like a huge effort, both to learn and to keep it up.

Got any advice on how to start doing that, for someone who considers themselves tech-savvy, but not enough to know how to self host, or to know the open source alternatives yet?

I don’t wanna blame them because each does what they need to get by and may not have the energies for more, but if the average person doesn’t start to fight it, it’s gonna be the dystopia.

Unless AI and automatization is done for everyone’s good, and not just for the profit of a very small group, it’s either going to collapse under the demands of the majority, or it will bring us to a dystopia where either the bottom is forced to procreate to keep having cheap labor for the worst jobs, ad-infinitum, or it gets phased out by machines until all there is left is the people on top.

I guess I’ll keep my Android phone for whatever I need big corpo for (bank app, whatsapp every1 uses, 2FA), and get a GrapheneOS-able phone for the rest.

As a fairly recent current A1 Mini user (too late to return), ouch. Guess I’ll have to get used to it until I can afford a different brand when I upgrade lol
