when MullvadVPN, sweden, was not only enforced by courts but raided by police to turn over data they replied “what data?” And the raid turned up nothing. Even with physical access to the servers- the authorities with legal right to search left empty-handed. That’s planning for privacy, I would assume since Proton doesn’t do this for their VPN they only plan for privacy of activists to a certain extent in face of (unfair) court rulings.
so it’s systemic and needs cultural activism at grassroots level to truly change the landscape?
i suppose death of such people only inspire such grassroots change after all, not actually changes as much by itself- like directly.
uh yeah just look up what Proton has been doing in face of court requests and idk remember when the CEO of Proton sucked up to Donal J. Trump?
yeet Proton, those turn over any activist to authorities and soon will sell out more broadly
check out GDPR champions StartMail, same as StartPage, from the netherlands
that’s a bit counter-cooperative since search engines spew so much bile and adversatorial articles constitute the majority of the corpus to be found online
almost like me asking a person with experience for verified takes is called wrong, isolating into algorithms none of us have control over is called right
not pointing any offense to your person here. this is a negative cultural trend i keep disdaining - the “just google it, stop asking people” lowkey condescending and sometimes disheartening culture is having negative impact on me and others. is what i kindly mean to enlighten
edit: but thanks for sharing your knowledge of it with a link, i appreciate being able to establish that link & date atleast
do you search PeerTube instances using the curated fedi.video or sepia search or another way?
wanted Marcus Aurelius, got Nero
thank you for the clear overview
wack that you and OP get downvotes for stating a sane question and a great recommendation
i’ve been meaning to report on the state of nordic countries alot more. now i did a bit
i encourage you to compose some and share some!
“the question, neo”

finally a left center right dynamic forming in the youngest state on earth. threeparty system letsgooo
these began without allowance from state. originally barns on ‘bondgårdar’ were dedicated to this purpose seasonally by ‘bönder’, so there was direct source of food and space given on “private property”. these days all ‘folkhögskolor’ have long-courses — spanning a year (august to june) with some for permaculture and other agrarian purposes starting in january — and short-courses, spanning a week. these days most ‘folkhögskolor’ act as hostels and conference halls too in addition to gymnasiums for teens who y’know hate being in state gymnasium. (edit: the oldest students i’ve met are retired 60 year olds. no age restriction on folkhögskolor.) sympathic way forward, my life would’ve been better had i gone this route sooner than later.
i would suggest finding private property owners who can provide a kitchen, showers and space to house people (bunkbeds can be a start before finding everyone a separate room.) maybe you who read this are one such private property owner? /rhetorical question
i would also suggest finding ‘studieförbund’ like ABF, NBV, IOGT-NTO etc. equivalents for funding and mostly as these are a short-cut through paperwork to legitimize the endeavour as an education with legal right to endow grades and certifications. like reading up school grades, becoming a certified plumber, et al.
regardless of if these two are known to you or anyone today i strongly recommend everyone to just travel here on a study visa ASAP. our government hates ‘folkhögskolor’ and are aggressively defunding these. it’s also more and more real-life hidden lore to know of ‘folkhögskolor’. how our entire wellfare comes from educating the marginalized in society at ‘folkhögskolor’. we have 155 still right now, something like one in every city. most are never full because people don’t know they exist these days: so you and anyone have good chances to get in. on the one i am at right now i met with an english citizen, a german citizen, an austrian citizen, an irish citizen and many refugees from war-torn countries coming here to learn swedish. think of this as a boarding school with cheap prices and no barriers to entry. everyone wants you to succeed here.
i would be glad to keep talking of this, compiling & translating & sharing hard-to-discover knowledge on a sub dedicated to ‘folkhögskolor’ and in direct messages- whether here on the FediVerse or 1-on-1 over chatmail (an E2EE email evolution. see the free libre open source DeltaChat & it’s twin project ArcaneChat.)

i look forward to reading what you come up with, because i am still kinda at the theoretical stage with keeping such a knowledgebase.
edit: i keep thinking a plaintext document of information is way simpler to deal with than webpages. at what point is information posted online preserved in it’s “original” form? just dumping this FediThread into a plaintext file or a folder of plaintext files with names being ‘hierarchy•postID•username’ or something so it is presented self-organized.
OP is ¤, 1st rank comments are ¤a ¤b ¤c and 2nd rank comments attached to comment ¤a are ¤a-a ¤a-b ¤a-c and 3rd rank comments attached to ¤a-c are ¤a-c-a ¤a-c-b ¤a-c-c so on. this then lists itself in a self-organized way, given all ASCII & unicode characters are provided in order. not just a-Z… because that would limit size of posts to take on.
ofcourse more difficult and complicated solutions like selfhosting webservers and managing ports and databases exist… not that i grasp the necessity for so many services.
fuck yes! corpo infight corpo infight
applause that you move your family off of those exploitative spywares!
GoboLinux ftw
that’s a realistic personal fear.
i do mean grassroots change as in people being the change to see in the world. while i’m certain this needs protection from any sabotage (see american interventionism) i know it needs to be an empathic core of pacifism at heart where conflict doesn’t entail violence and competition doesn’t entail polemy.
i wonder if money is the impossibility, since money existed before writing allegedly, or if military power to disrupt is the impossibility- arms dealing is a supply that creates demand historically (broadly speaking, with emphasis on the automated arms deals that ignited cold wars and FOMO all around while warmongerers profiteered- hence divesting oligarch-amounts of money to begin with.)
