  1. Meet ArcaneChat: a secure and private messenger

    Anonymous: No SIM card needed! No phone numbers required for registration, just set a name and start chatting!

    Private: All your conversations are end-to-end encrypted

    Discreet: No one can discover you or know that you are using the app! only people you share your invitation link or QR with can contact you

  2. We desperately need legislative action against #instagram on a European level. So many people are only reachable on Instagram, and it is impossible to message them without giving up your private Data to the Facebook concern.

    I can't blame anyone for using Instagram. If I wasn't such a hard-headed privacy advocate I would use it too because in many subcultures it's the only way to learn about new events or to contact people.

    This is a big problem also for #DigitalIndependence, and it's even harder than ditching Windows for example. You can replace programs with alternatives but you can't replace social interactions.

  9. Ich sichere seit einigen Tagen alle meine iPhone Fotos aus der iCloud.
    Das Ziel ist kurzfristig eine Sicherung aller Bilder bei mir lokal zu haben. Langfristig will ich raus aus Apples goldenem Käfig.

    Für die 25000+ iPhone Bilder und Videos (das ist das Material von 5 Jahren) habe ich mir @ente auf meinem Homeserver selbst gehostet. Das war ein bisschen gebastel, funktioniert jetzt aber.

  14. Nach mehreren vergeblichen Versuchen bei #Kleinanzeigen eben zum ersten Mal direkt von der Verkäuferin Wero für's Bezahlen angeboten bekommen. Bisher erlebte ich nur verständnislose Reaktionen auf meine Frage, ob das als Zahlungsweg in Frage kommt.

    Kleine Schritte! Und besser als nix. 🙃

  23. Privacy is about confidentiality. Independence is about whether I can still operate when the platform I've been renting from decides I can't. Different question. Once asked, it reframes nearly every technology decision a founder or owner-operator makes.
