True. Matrix is more for that. Or possibly SimpleX.

Use Mastodon. You can use a server outside of your country. And even if your country attempts to find the operator, 10% of their global turnover of zero is still zero.

I think there’s an argument to be made here of why are we trusting certificate providers anyway since that just adds another layer of centralization and a choke point for governments to attack. Why not use self-signed certificates and have each search engine indexer also index the certificate and point out how long it has been since it has changed so that you can trust whatever search engine you wish instead of these mega centralized providers of certificates. If kagi, google, ddg, and quant (for example) are all in agreement about the validity of a cert i feel its likely trustworthy. If they start disagreeing thats when it may be time to DYOR. Besides, TOFU is much easier to set up.

I really wish this was available in the US. I’ve found myself able to hang on to devices longer and longer. So this would be perfect. I’m only charging my battery to 80% and discharging it to 30% before charging it again just to prolong the life of the battery because that’s the first thing that dies on most devices. Having a user replaceable battery again would be an absolute godsend.

I’m sorry, but if backdoor laws start getting passed, I’m going to just fucking break the law, and they can come and fucking arrest me if they want. But I’m not putting up with that shit.
