Sessionary® is a privacy-first social platform in development. Join the waitlist for early access and follow us to see how we’re rebuilding social media.
@davidgpeterson@ProtonVPN VPN bans don't solve anything. They only confirm that access to information is being treated as something to control, not a basic right.
@rakyll It's not "new tech" in general. It's Al specifically. People are burned out from having Al forced into everything, breaking workflows, adding friction, and solving problems no one had.
@FortniteLinux That's a wild requirement. Needing a Microsoft account just to launch a game turns PC gaming into account gating instead of ownership. More friction, more lock in, less choice for players.
@JasonKPargin Syncing without clear consent, breaking local ownership, and treating your files as theirs by default is hostile design.
Switching to Linux is the cleanest way to get your computer back under your control.
This move changes what “owning” software means. By removing offline activation, Windows and Office become tied to continuous account access instead of a license you control.
That adds fragility. Account issues, outages, or policy changes can now decide whether paid software works at all. It’s a shift away from reliability and user control, not toward it.
@JesseCox Cognitive amplifier tools' is a meaningless corporate phrase. Studies from MIT show that regular reliance on Al tools can reduce cognitive effort and weaken critical thinking. Calling that progress doesn't change the evidence.
@privacy_guides@clickskeyboard A modern device with a Google free option, like GrapheneOS, would finally offer what BlackBerry used to, security, control, and focus without surveillance baked in.
There is clearly a gap for hardware built for people who care about privacy first, not ads or ecosystems.
@ReclaimTheNetHQ Age limits are one thing. Mandatory ID verification for social platforms is something else entirely, and the consequences go far beyond teenagers.
2025 showed us, again, that privacy is rarely lost by accident.
It is lost through systems that collect more than they need, remember more than they should, and share more than users realize.
In 2026, we continue building in the opposite direction, less data, fewer assumptions, more control where it belongs.
Thank you to everyone who cares enough to question how digital systems are designed.
Happy New Year.
@MrCrypPrivacy Yeah. Another year of leaks, shortcuts, and "trusted" systems failing people.
Here's to making better choices in 2026 and keeping more of our lives to ourselves.
Happy 2026.
@utsavtechie Nice to see this finally happen. It took years, but it's a genuinely useful feature people actually asked for, unlike the constant Al bloat nobody needs.
