I'm a visually impaired gamer, who loves chatting with friends, listening to music from all over the world and having fun.

While I'm still here, people can also follow me on @bluesky as well. I'm not sure what I think of the platform yet, but the decentralized nature of it is promising.

I didn't see that coming!

@victordimanet @markgurman what do you mean?

[Igor K @rtr_assassin]

@KirbyLaur Fine for the most part, dealing with spring fever, but alright otherwise.

I never saw the point, since most people stream on other platforms anyway and just use the crowd funding features for subscribers.

@victordimanet That's not exactly fair, there are things that can accurately be described that way; then there are the people who just use it as a catch-all term for anything they don't like.

This is why people should abandon #WhatsApp for good. Despite @signalapp getting some bad press, it's still a much better option.

I'm freaked out by WhatsApp's privacy policy 😳

So I just spent way too much time reading WhatsApp's privacy policy (don't judge, I'm a privacy nerd) and wow... it's pretty alarming when you see it all laid out.

This is straight-up deceptive. They're basically feeding all your data to Facebook/Meta. Not just the obvious stuff either - they grab your ENTIRE contact list (including friends who don't even use WhatsApp!), track where you are even with location turned "off," and when you chat with businesses? Multiple people can see those messages.

Like seriously?? What's the point of "encryption" when they're logging who you talk to, when, for how long, and where you both were?? It's all going to Facebook anyway!

Made this infographic to show what's REALLY happening with your data. I've already switched to @signalapp (way better privacy) and @SimpleXChat (doesn't even need your phone #). Honestly, wasn't that hard - who's with me?

I had no idea it was this bad until I actually read the fine print.

@ddenne92 Imagine being that sensitive, the guy who claims to be a genius who fights for our free speech. Total farce!

I’m learning Russian on Duolingo! It’s free, fun, and effective.

@sightlessKombat @Ubisoft_UK That should be interesting!

@KirbyLaur Happy St Patrick's Day to the Celtic queen herself! ☘️

@KirbyLaur Your message went through. How are you?

[Igor K @rtr_assassin]

@LaurieWBZ @accuweather Interesting!
Have a beautiful day!

[Igor K @rtr_assassin]

@LaurieWBZ That's even more amazing, a landlocked state with fresh water lakes and rivers. She's made New England home for sure.

I hope that makes it easier to see content, they need to catch up, the competition is getting stiff. I like how clean the app is though.
