If you’re not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

  • Why switch platforms if all your data is still being collected? This just provides another business with your data to sell and possibly have hacked. Sure, Telegram offers encryption, but it’s not enabled by default even though they advertise it thoroughly. This demonstrates they’re taking advantage of peoples desire for privacy simply to increase their user base while making the users + contacts do all the work.

    As far as file sharing, with ProtonDrive I can use any messaging service and send a 500GB file if I wanted, fully encrypted with password protection and an expiration date. Telegram keeping the files forever doesn’t seem like a benefit either.







  • I mean, once the journey starts it’s not long before Linux over MacOS or Windows is a no brainer. Being Android is Linux based allows for a degoolged option to be equivalent to a fork. But sure, iOS is more private and secure out the box vs Android, yet with a few minutes spent in settitngs, Android quickly wins out. Degoogling and FOSS options are two peas in a pod, so might as well also get a pixel with degoogled android and cover all basis.
















  • The Yuma area of Arizona only produces lettuce in winter as the Salinas Valley isn’t capable of producing veggies on the level needed for the country that time of year. Other than that, lettuce and most other veggies are from the Salinas Valley 3/4 of the year.

    On golf courses, it’s the number of them which is obscene. Also, seeing it’s only the wealthy who are able to use them is another frustrating part. City sports fields are open to everyone while many golf courses have memberships. The amount of water it takes to upkeep a course is wild but doesn’t compare to ag for sure.

    A 1/4 lb of beef takes roughly the same amount of water the average American uses showing for more than a month. Which blows my mind on soo many levels.

    Water is life and we need to make moves to protect it. Thank for the work you do! Do you think charging cattle farms appropriately for water and removing some golf courses is a good place to start?
