It’s time to Escape From Reality! :3
Indeed, but wouldn’t the inevitable database breach give ample “identities” for anonymous users to cycle through (similar to aurora for play store infrastructure)?
To be clear, the circumstances are not good and ideally this destructive behavior is averted, but there will be maneuvers which can be taken if worst comes to worst.
I’m certain a “John Doe” false identity signature would be trivial to create.
Torrenting “LLM training data”
Archive everything you can. Best time for a personal database was yesterday, second best time is now.
Depends on the fork. The MPL largely allows the forks to do as they please, so feel free to check their blog posts and patch notes for reference.
… You do realize that security patches are upstreamed, correct? These forks just don’t include the ads, AI, or built-in VPN.
Firefox Forks (Waterfox/Librewolf/Ironfox) my beloved
Even FOSS software? The Linux Foundation’s headquartered in the US.
I do get the rationale, but honestly you could just change that to “proprietary software” and you’d have more options with just as much data security.
I wonder if FEX (Valve’s X86 to ARM conversion software) could run this now on an android phone. The game’s freely distributed on PC, so it should be easy to test.
Free software -> free expression pipeline
It’s as simple of finding out how to download a local copy of any media or software you want to store for safekeeping, ideally with backups on a separate drive/machine.
Some good places to start would be linux ISOs and Wikipedia (both are freely distributed and quite useful im times of need), but obviously for any media secured by a paywall or not meant for us to “own”, you’ll have to find your own path. Probably would be worth checking the piracy lemmy comm.
Personally, I archive everything. I stream nothing.
