Technology and Rights are my special interests, but I try to find any news that might get lost

@Heather222429 @angelsavant I guess as the birthrate falls, kids are actually the smallest minority now. There's a weird thought.

[silner @silner]

@jemimakiss @niltiac I think this is what EM isn't accounting for. Most of us aren't deleting our accounts because we know it's poinless. They keep all our data anyway. I never believed in one egg basket. Are you on Mastodon JK? CF?

So it seems like CB is still connected

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

MPs just voted on a motion to remove private schools' £1,700,000,000 tax break.

That could pay for free school meals for *all* primary school pupils almost twice over.

But Tory MPs voted it down, choosing to protect elite private schools, not improve opportunities for all kids.

Okay so this is slightly #interesting
I can no longer see any interactions with my posts. I guess the carmaker is phasing me out.

Useful? #Sonar is a anonymous #tor #messenger you use in a browser that takes no personal info at all https://t.co/iE825GoKNB

I'm having a rare check-in to make sure I've followed everyone on mastodon I follow here. It seems like I have.

As I promised, I won't post now unless I've found something interesting. So I've done some research and come up with an interesting new #e2ee #messenger called #cwtch

[silner @silner]

@rbtcollins @Asher_Wolf That's a very good point.

[silner @silner]

I suppose this is goodbye for me. I might move onto #mastodon but I think I'm done here. I think it's fairly likely we'll all be done here by years end.

It was never as good as https://t.co/m1am8sYuI4 but it used to be okay, once upon a time. Life goes on

[silner @silner]

I need to remind myself when Mr Musk starts overlording us. It's fairly soon now, the emd of an era is nigh

[silner @silner]

Weird thing. Using #i2p again, first time in a while. Opening peers. Some countries you expect. Germany, India, USA etc. But #Moldova is very well represented too. I didn't expect that #privacy #Anonymous #NetWork #MYSTERY

[silner @silner]

I wanted to say congratulation to the #Lionesses It's especially sweet to beat Germany in a final. That's not because of anything special about Germany, just we never seem to be able to beat them, so it's broken a psychological barrier. Great football. Great boost. Happy

I found another few interesting #privacy #searchengines

I've been looking at a few private social networks, if that's not a non sequitur. Two I've liked are:

Aether https://t.co/LRGdUB8qWX
Retroshare https://t.co/L74u8RaolT

Very different, both good ideas

[silner @silner]

I'm trying #manjaro. It's a different prospect to most distros I've tried so far, I think, because it doesn't fit any of the standard #Linux models. It's not an RMP distro or a Debian based distro. It's taking me a while to get a mental map, but I'm getting there

[silner @silner]

It's amazing how #Anonymous internet use has become so mainstream in 2022. Before my hiatus, this stuff was pretty marginal, but now it's discussed every day https://t.co/dVUDfSI24L

[silner @silner]

I found an interesting and relatively private #searchengine or three

@MetaGer
@Searx_engine
@hiseekr

[silner @silner]

@DanielLabour1 @JohnHam21111978 @juliasuzanne76 @jonesy_nb @JobeDoherty @lisanandy @AnnelieseDodds It will need to be more than just secular paper though. I was looking out of curiosity after you posted that https://t.co/yZeNtnidNF

[silner @silner]

@DavidJollyFL @atrupar I was wondering about the future of 3D printing, when it will be cheaper to fabricate weapons at home. How will we regulate those weapons?

[silner @silner]

How long is it since I posted? I feel like it’s been a while! https://t.co/7AaqzX6G8k

[silner @silner]

I've been looking at @mullvadnet a very interesting #privacy VPN. They issue you with a single number for ID. They accept Monero and Cash. And they allow you to create an OpenVPN configuration file so you don't need to install any proprietary software to use it. All ticks!
