Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.
Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.
Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.
When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.
@feditips
@FediGarden Neat! Wondering – when you (and others, for that matter) don't permit homophobia, are you not permitting the *fear* of it (phobia)? Or are you not allowing people to say they believe homosexuality is wrong? Or is it the hate of homosexuals that is the thing being forbidden.
Just have to vent a bit. The #GoogleMaps app has the most frustrating interface I have ever used.
It makes no sense at all. What kind of #UI paradigm is it using!? The back button doesn't even always take you back! The whole interface keeps on assuming what I want and getting in the way.
@mike This is definitely the sort of mistake I would make.
@randulo I want the Twitter trolls to stay over there :)

@mike Do I hit Favorite or not....
@Big_Diggity We don't talk about its battery life 🫡
@Big_Diggity It has great specs.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (a desktop CPU!). 8-core 16-thread, and 32MB L3 cache. Max clock speed is 4.4GHz.
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Mobile. 6GB VRAM.
RAM: 32GB, 3200MHz, dual-channel.
Good I/O, too 😉
@Big_Diggity It's all too easy!
@Big_Diggity Rule of thumb: if you can't point to where your data is physically stored, you don't own it.
@Av1 @survey Thank you for the suggestion :) I don't think it is ethical to block ads though. Whether you like a service or not, it *is* how the "free service" is "free", and I like being able to use services without paying them outright.
However -- I use a cross-site tracker blocker, and if that results in a website's ads being blocked... well, they never had the right to cross-site track me in the first place!

The excellent @dansup (creator of @pixelfed) also maintains two very useful Fediverse tools:
➡️ https://fedidb.org - A dashboard for the Fediverse, with details of how server types and specific servers are growing.
➡️ https://fediverse.info/explore/people - An opt-in directory of people on the Fediverse sorted by keyword. You can add yourself to the directory by including special hashtags in your profile.
If you've used them before, take another look as they've both just been revamped.
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Affirmative.
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Accidentally hit send, lol
After finals week comes and goes and I can come home, I'll be happier though!
@indie1337@vivaldi.net Well I was off the Fedi for a while too, soo... yeah
After Finals week comes and goes, and I can get going.
