We would have to start looking at either OPEN SPARC or OPEN Power as alternatives.

The same people that own the hedge fund losing the most money own robinhood. It’s a tool for them to manipulate the proles and steal their money.

Federated Signal. https://getsession.org/faq/ It's a fork of signal that uses federated nodes and it 100% anonymous. There is no way to get a lot of info about you or who you talk to.

This is Signal, but federated. It uses a network of relay nodes called Lokinet.

Getsession.org Signal, but more better!

I’m super keen on session, I’m advocating for people to make it so session nodes can be run as dockers on unraid right now

Thats what pihole is for. I also run a BUNCH of different extentions to kill all tracking. https://ameridroid.com/products/pi-hole-kit pi-hole.net Buy two of those, set them up as your DNS Servers for your network. Go to your firewall rules and block everything on port 53 Then create allow rules for JUST the two pihole devices to get out to the internet. Why? This prevents anything on your network from using a hardcoded DNS to get out.

Asus or acer

Just buy a dell or hp and throw linux on it

Dissenter is a brave fork that hasn't seen an update or commit since 23 March 2020. I wish people would stop recommending it.

I landed on brave, let's me move to linux when i upgrade my surface in a year.

Just don't enable it. I didn't

I switched off firefox when they openly said they intend to aid in censorship. https://clarion.causeaction.com/2021/01/09/mozilla-ceo-we-need-more-than-deplatforming/

I'm not really talking about a direct comparison, it's more a commentary on how we are stuck on 40+ year old tech instead of moving to more modern architectures. Also I was commenting on the ridiculousness of the AMD/Intel relationship.

Technically AMD's licenses x86 from intel, who then get's the 64-bit instrictions from AMD (SUN helped them build it back in the day.) Open SPARC is also a thing, as is OPEN Power. While ARM has a lot of potential, it's a 40 year old architecture at it's core, as is x86. Both Open Power and Open Sparc are mildly newer.
