Schön und gut, aber wir reden hier von Nazis. Mit denen muss ich nicht grün werden.

Man könnte jetzt eine Debatte anstoßen, ob jemand der sich selbst als Übermensch betrachtet, nicht per Definition entmenschlicht ist.

In den 80ern und 90ern sind wir alle mit Jeansjacke und “kein fußbreit den Nazis“ Aufnähern rumgelaufen. Dass man heute alles und jeden mit Samthandschuhen anfassen muss, gefällt mir tatsächlich nicht so wirklich gut.

Yeah what I also saw in the terms was that they reserve the right to sell their company without informing users other than through an update in the terms & conditions, and based on play store reviews, they terminate lifetime accounts if they find that you upload copyright protected files, even if you don't share them with anyone.

Indexing my stuff and comparing it against external databases is a big no no for me.

So far I'm quite happy with sync.com, been using them for well over a decade. Data is fully encrypted during upload, so no matter if the server is ever breached, they wouldn't get anything useful out of it.

I also got my own nextcloud instance up and running, but it's with a shared hosting provider where I don't feel as secure.

They have servers tagged as p2p enabled, those work fine. Only in the paid plan though, free is not meant for that.

Proton and Astrill are very good as well.

True, I meant anonymous in the sense that participants are not generally identifiable by one another.

To an extent. Lemmy is a useful substitute for reddit because it's anonymous, so I don't know and to an extent don't care who I'm talking to. With messenger services it's a different use case, I need the exact people I want to talk to on there, or it's essentially worthless.

What does magic the gathering have to do with this photo?

That's what YOU get since you're neither in China nor Japan. They only get to see their relative government's name. China in fact gets to see nothing since they block Google, but it you happen to be in Hong Kong or Macau, you would.

Nah. I'll start boycotting google when there are useful alternatives. Amazon, facebook, reddit - no problem.

Google search - fine, I can get by with DDG or Yandex. Gmail - sure, whatever. Maps? Organic Maps (and other openstreetmaps front-ends) works alright for getting your bearings, but it's a far cry from useful for finding businesses, and terrible for navigation. Waze used to be the only viable alternative, but ever since Google bought them, it's hard to justify a full boycott without massively inconveniencing myself.

Same for meta as a whole. Facebook and Instagram, sure, no need. But living without whatsapp is simply impossible in some countries, where it's the de-facto standard for communication, and even used as the only means of contact with government agencies.

Shareholders don't individually sanction business decisions, only targets. And often they are not even aware what the company did until the next board meeting. If it's mentioned at all. So calling them complicit is a long shot, and shows that you don't really know anything about the matter.
