I agree with your point but you mentioned the services that are literally the hardest to find alternatives for. Need to use photoshop professionally, good luck getting around adobe. Sys admin only allows microsoft because he doesn’t want to manage a bazillion different setups, get used to windows buddy. I could go on with examples…

Getting rid of those predatory megacorps is worth the fight, but it’s a fight. And it’s not getting easier just by calling it easy.

Well, it’s not like email is a particularly private protocol to begin with. Proton has PGP encryption under the hood for proton to proton communication. But proton to whatever is not more private than using your hosters mail service.

I wholly support deeming any form of racism or bigotry unacceptable in a civilized society. The issues comes with fairly enforcing measures like the one proposed here. Who decides whats antisemetic and what isn’t? Germany has been severly cracking down on any form of protest against the fascist regime of Israel and their genocide against Gaza. These protests are already being called antisemtic by the media and the government.

Electricity isn’t a given during an emergency tho. I think the focus is on non perishables

That’s really good advice actually, thanks. And under the bed like the other guy said isn’t impossible either.

That’s cool and all, but where do I put all this shit. I live in a 3 room 60m² apartment with my family of four because of the insane rent. I literally do not have space to hord anything.

If your main motivation is never going through that kind of digital loss, please please please do yourself a favor and do not rely solely on a local solution. If there’s a fire in your apartment, the best nextcloud setup isn’t going to do shit for you. Look up the 3-2-1 rule if you want to be safe.

You have to separate pirating and torrenting. I’m pirating stuff non stop each day. I’m torrenting maybe once a month, if that. It’s just not the go to thing for a lot of users, so issues around VPNs and torrenting probably aren’t that pressing to warrant any kind of reaction.

Same here. My country is a lot more analog, so everything from bills to ads still gets delivered via mail regularly. But I would love to have a digital infrastructure for mail delivery. However the costs to make it secure and private seem too high, every attempt by the state to make progress on that gets shut down due to concerns and therefore lack of adoption. Additionally, with the rise of the right and looming threats to your privacy, like chat control, a lot of people have no trust whatsoever in the government

Are there any danes here, that could chime in? The idea of having an almost entirely digitized society feels so scary to me. Everything having mobile apps, no cash? Feels like a horror story given the implications on privacy. I couldn’t even run most of the the so called secure apps on my lineageOS. My bank knowing exactly when I payed how much money for what would be so dystopian to me. Are there other methods available to protect your privacy in Denmark? Or does there truly not anyone give a shit about their digital footprint?

I’m very happy with librewolf on desktop and ironfox on mobile

Jesus fuck that’s scary. I thought we europeans would need to fend of Russia in the near future. Now it might be the USA as well.

I generally don’t like puns, but your comment was *chef’s kiss

I’m interested in the setting and the slower, more organic progression. But I’ve read so many of putting reviews. Like gear that breaks down after a couple uses. Limited saves because it’s linked to some ressource. It all sounds more tedious than fun and immersive. And as an adult with responsabilities I just don’t have the time for tedium anymore. I get enough of that at work. I’d love for someone to contradict me tho!

I use filen.io as a web drive. Can recommend

Here’s a good comparison where delta chatis included

Tutanota, as specified in my initial reply

If you’re left leaning and want to send a message, do it with your wallet. Switch to tutanota for mails, search with duckduckgo, use f-droid as an app store… No one needs google, it’s just somewhat inconvenient to get used to alternatives
