Trying to migrate off of stealth for Reddit so I can stop feeling guilty that I’m still technically using reddit

  • I know the average Joe doesnt care about security/privacy but, ugh. Really wish we did. Society (at least in the US, where I am) might be a bit less shit if they did. I’m glad to hear that iMessage is a flash in the pan in other countries though, I dont understand why its such a big deal here, especially when Signal/WhatsApp exists and provides a similar seemless experience across more than one platform, but then again you’d hear me complaining about Meta if I lived anywhere else in the world so, really a lose lose for me :(

    Home Assistant can be used as an AIO for smart home devices. I assume OP is referring specifically to home assistant integrations that are privacy friendly such as Z-Wave and ZigBee devices that only communicate to each other locally over radio instead of over the internet to someone else’s PC.






  • I’m gonna be honest I’m not too concerned about people who aren’t on Degoogled ROMs messaging me through Signal. I dont believe Theres much I say over text or Phone calls in Signal that can be used against me. While i do have my threat model to be in a state where I want to prevent as much spying as possible (I use FOSS only unless it is literally not possible, I turn on airplane mode when I dont need data/am on WiFi, my VPN is always on etc), I dont expect others to Switch away from their convinence for me and me only. if I can talk them into switching over time (like I have with my SO and most close family) then Thats great, but if not, Id rather talk to them on Signal than on fuckin Discord 🤢
