The hardest choices require the strongest wills

Pic is how I feel acquiring more services to replace my Big Tech dependency

(Not all services could be listed here, obviously. Just the ones I personally use)

Replying to an earlier post

Lucky for you, it can be self hosted, too! Make sure to use BrainX Revamped, the original BrainX is already deprecated and had lots of bugs. beRAIN tried to continue the original and had a working prototype without using two hemispheres, but it sadly didn’t take off and is not maintained. There are more forks of original BX and BXR, so choose your flavor, but beware of the cloud one by Oracle that was forked before the license change and made closed source.

No, not exactly like.

Linux: any distro not implementing age verification becomes illegal

Searx: search engines already implement captchas and ridiculous rate limits.

Fediverse: inconvenient node operators can be categorized as terrorists, like the italian anarchists who were providing web services.

Signal will just buzz off countries implementing backdoors. Until it’s not put next to Encrochat. Same with GrapheneOS.

US already banned routers. Those should be entirely provided by ISPs only at some point.
