I already do, but i need the app for some things like when they send me posts or stories :/

Beeper is great though

I dont think so (correct me if im wrong). An alternative app might have access to the content etc and get around this paywall somehow.

Anyways, you still have the option to not pay and keep using IG as before. Nothing changes.

As fir my issue with this, im in the privacy community...need i say more? XD

I dont have many photos, but thats not the issue. Its that all my friends are on it, and until I leave after my bachelors and need to have contact with them often im stuck with it. After i leave to a different country once i get my degree itll be easier, but for the next year or so im stuck with instagram because i dknt want to lose contact with them. As most people, they would never leave the mainstream thing behind, so no chance of converting them as well

Ahh i see. Im going to edit my post now to specify that Im looking for an alternative frontend to instagram, such as piped is for youtube. Sadly i have friends on insta that I cant stop using it for now because of

Edit: haha ive heard of it, but its not really what im looking for sadly

Its sad that most people are numb to it, and actually completely unaware/uncaring. They just click that they want to continue using it for free, which is exactly what mera wants

Thanks for the GDPR info (grabs popcorn to watch as well).

As for facebook, I only use it because of messenger for work, which I will delete as soon as im done with my BSc in about a year (I work at my uni). I dont have the app but rather a PWA on my phone, not that theres much difference.

However, Im interested in instagram because of good friends that use it

Im already on mastodon and i use piped, but sadly I cant leave insta yet because i have very dear friends on there who i chat with, and they'd never switch to something else (... And meta knows this btw)

Is pixelfed an entirely different platform? Sadly i have many good friends on insta who i talk with, and they wouldnt ever switch to anything else, so because of that im stuck with meta. Otherwise i would 100% leave it

One might even say its how language works nowadays... Newspeak if you will

I checked it out and (correct me if im wrong) it seems that ath9k doesnt have any deices using it which are USB?

Also, all drivers in the list you sent are included in the kernel?

Thanks
