I use GOS and I am all for correcting people, but perhaps next time, don't assume they are spreading FUD, and instead assume they are just misinformed

Deleted my account in Fall 2025 after +15 years. Felt good

FYI, Proton CEO also caught flak for praising Trump picks, so they are playing both sides of the field FYI

Depending on your device, gadgetbridge might do the trick as an intermediary. I went from my Garmin watch -> AmazFit watch based on compatibility w/ GadgetBridge and it allows you to export the .gps files and upload to many self-hosted apps.

IMO, your suggestion assumes that today's government and tomorrow's government will have the same ideals and viewpoints on pornography, and not for 1-2 administrations, but indefinitely. Being able to reverse engineer someone via metadata is possible as is, and likely will become even more finetuned as we AI evolves.

As an American, there are plenty of examples under the current administration where data shared in confidence by undocumented immigrants are now being used to target them for deportation.

It's kind of like sharing data with a company indefinitely because of their current ToS, which is just a snapshot in time. Today's "helpful" approach towards data collection becomes a key part of surveillance in tomorrow's world.

It isn't the same singer. That is why only WorldStarHipHop and this random site are reporting it

I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.

Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can't be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can't use Google or Facebook

#BothSiders often end up repeating Republican talking points

 

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.

This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?

I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
