"Masks and vaults: how anonymity overshadows real online privacy"
My latest opinion article projects my concerns about the fundamentally different concepts of privacy and anonymity being used interchangeably in many contexts. Slightly longer and more intense read than usual, but in the hope you will find it helpful.

I've always been annoyed, that there is no sane way to use programs on my android phone on my desktop and use the keyboard I'm working at.
Sometimes I want to send off an #sms and just want that dialog of the phone be available on my notebook.
On the #mobian #pinephone just compiled #waypipe as well as on my notebook.
On my notebook using waypipe called #chatty via ssh on my #pinephone. Chatty showed up on my notebook :).
Sending and receiving works.
In the last year Google has banned: the Element app, the LBRY app, and several Fediverse apps. If you get all of your apps from a single corporation, be it Google or Apple, you should make an effort to change that.
If you have an Android phone F-Droid is an alternative app repository, and itโs very easy to install! All of the previously mentioned apps have been available from F-Droid throughout being dropped from the Play Store.
If you have an iPhone, please consider other options for your next device. Apple does not respect you enough as a user to consider you possibly more capable of deciding what you should install on your phone than they are. That is absurd; please stop rewarding this behavior with your money.

While many people rightly are concerned with the power of companies like Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, the uproar around Section 230 is misplaced. Itโs not 230 that is the problem. Itโs oligopoly. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/01/its-not-230-you-hate-its-oligopolies

Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's https://f-droid.org/en/packages/im.vector.app/ but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.
