This is unacceptable. And I’m sick of all the fucking workarounds to maintain basic privacy.

    If general computers are outlawed, only outlaws will have general computers.

    I use an open source browser with a hardware TAN generator for banking. I pay with an NFC card. All the websites I care about work with open standards. Fuck the rest. I am perfectly able to run my own email servers. If online shopping requres proprietary bullshit they lose me as a customer. My bills are direct debit. No, there are no basic and requred civic functions that must happen online. I simply walk or go there to do that in person.

    I am already frequently blocked by Cloudflare because I use an always on VPN and only open source tooling. I simply cease to use such services.

    You are correct that the proper solution to fascism is to go away or to kill them.

      Besides, less facebook means more sanity. Nothing real happens in 99% of cyberspace.

      Edit: so, my bank freaks out if I vpn through Santiago, lemmy.world freaks out if I vpn through Brussels.
