Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Never say privacy. Always say libre software. That's why.
chromium is still 'libre' though, so I don't think that's enough
You don't have a better two word attack.
Gen Alpha doesn't care about privacy online. They need to be guided by their parents to care, e.g. when they buy a laptop, they install some Linux distribution on it before they give it to the child.
They've been primed not to. They've grown up surrounded by social media where oversharing with your legal name attached is incentived, both by the companies and the lonely, drama-hungry users. I wish we'd pushed harder against this back in the early days of Facebook, but I doubt most of us saw this coming.
we're doomed then
they most likely want to game on their laptop as well. Linux is capable, but usually requires good configuration and troubleshooting, that a gen alpha kid can't do, and parents are busy. This is why it is not a widely practiced thing
Get off Reddit. Karma grind is not worth it.
Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit

If one has the right kind of opinions. 🤷
depends on the instance, if you're nice it's really hard to get banned on .world or blahaj.zone, on grad or ml tho you gotta be authoritarian
The op in that post is 14 years old at most. Just look at how that shot is tailored.
"No, they would never track us. But if they were, it would be a good thing."
Wouldn’t it be better to at least put a modicum of effort in to have some privacy, than to put zero effort in and have none at all?
The one saying they use copilot for math problems is the worst part. It demonstrates their complete lack of critical thinking.
Copium
Microsoft Edge, based on Google's Copium engine-
Copium indeed
Why? It's because they never arrived at their current behavior by a systematic progression of logical steps. Most of the behaviors we exhibit aren't that way. We just offer a post-hoc explanation/justification. They use edge, so they defend their action with any argument assertion they can think of.
It's also (sort of) because they want to tip the proverbial scale towards their current use. Change takes effort and can be irritating. They have their list of positives about edge (faster, easier, etc.), and they downplay the negatives such as privacy.
An excuse to still be right.
Damn, how did you get three complete troglodytes in one place?
~~Normies~~ bots
What's the difference anymore?
Off-topic, but I do agree in general that Edge is a solid browser. I use it when I'm at work and really love the vertical tabs and tab groups. I use firefox for personal use and am patiently waiting for the vertical tabs on the stable release (and not just in about:config).
Reddit be like.
Yeah a very reddit moment
Is that the same as the misnomer or fallacy that privacy is dead?
Privacy also doesn't exist when you have the entire website being indexed
I'm also a firm believer in you don't need to freely give up your data
