Pretty much agreed, except iCloud allows full E2E encryption if you enable Advanced Data Protection…

Siri is maybe a different story, alas. But at least you can disable the always listening feature if you want.

If you’re into Insta, be sure and check out PixelFed.

Came here to say basically the same thing. GOP now stands for Groupies of Putin.

They’re great! Especially Sundiver and The Uplift War. EDIT: should have added they are somewhat stand-alone, although you do manage to learn a little bit more about the overall arc of the plot from each book if you move through them in order.

Sort of? Almost? It provides a lot of motivation for one of the main characters IIRC. Honestly might be just as well off watching the NF show haha.

So the first 100+ pages was an excruciating slog but after that he finally gets to the real story. Which was cool and fascinating but he completely effed it up in book 2 and I didn’t even make it 100 pages into book 3 before seeing it was more bogusness. Still, I would kinda recommend Book 1 if you can make it through the freaking Chinese revolution part at the start.

I've been using Mlem quite happily.

They seem to be back up now (for me at any rate), but apparently their ISP was having network issues.

Interesting. I do visit a few websites regularly but I guess I've always just kept the tabs open in Safari and called it a day. (And Safari just stays in permanent Privacy mode so that as much tracking data is flushed as possible each time I close a tab.)
