The opt-out (a) is only available to companies who are slack customers, not end users, and (b) doesn't actually opt-out. When a company account holder tries to opt-out...

Looking for a collaborative notes app
  • With etherpad-lite the default is guest mode and no protection at all (but I've seen that with plugins user accounts can be made). With Hedgedoc and Cryptpad user accounts can be made and I think with that "private" protected pads are possible.

    Has ethernet become illegitimate? A librarian flipped out after spotting me using ethernet
  • I can imagine that the guy wants to secure his network and is maybe paranoid about people breaking in which seems fair to me, and after all computers and networks involve subtle power structures as described in BOFH. I guess the "now get of my lawn!" remark is a typical and "normal" remark in some states or regions of the USA. Someone from the UK or Ireland could made say instead "sod off!" to end a conversation they think deserved to be stopped.

  • Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data
  • Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

    I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.

    Coming to terms with no longer having privacy and control over my technology
  • Many people probably won’t be bothered by these things, but I am. I don’t want to pay full price for something that I don’t truly own. I miss the familiarity. I miss the reliability. I miss feeling like it’s mine. Dependable. Trustworthy.

    Picking my old guitar up again has never looked so appealing. I think I want to go back to investing more time, money, and energy into things that aren’t connected to the internet

    Upvoted.

  • A much better choice in my opinion is the newer Soothing Noise Player : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/ie.delilahsthings.soothingloop/

    Here's Noice in F-Droid which I stopped using after I saw it asked to make Internet connections :

    Looking for a free email service
  • Yup.

    Buy any domain name, doesn’t matter what.

    Suggested to OP and others that self-hosting email is easy and reliable is a bad idea in my opinion.

    Instead I suggest the OP to let go of the "free" requirement. There are at least three email providers that provide email for 1 Euro a month including a few email aliases. Another option is to find a web hosting company that also provides email with web hosting. For example Gandi used to do that though I read they made some changes with their hosting options.

  • What are the most private social media platforms?
  • Sure, but what random psycho would go through all your comments collecting data like weather on a specific day, car, job, etc… just to mess with you in real life. That’s like one in a billion unless you specifically seek out those kind of people.

    Scraping experiments have been done in the Fediverse several times and with the booming A.I. such an action does not seem very unlikely to me.

    How do I build my own software from source?
  • You can try to follow the build instructions like mentioned in another comment but be aware that you are trying to build for a platform which has as far as I can see no official support compile instructions for the software. YMMV.
