I cleaned up when I moved, so the oldest gadget I have right now is a 15 year old MSI laptop, still happily running with linux.

Holy shit his sex offender record is the first thing that comes up when you search his name.

Have you tried checking for leaks? You might be having IP or DNS leaks that’s contributing to it.

What about somewhere closer like Singapore? Stuff is mostly still in English and their network is fast.

I was fresh out of college so was very susceptible to anyone calling for an interview invite. Got a call from a company I didn’t recognize and I was too innocent to not question how they even got my number. I dressed up and everything, brought my resume, etc. When I arrived, there was a bunch of us and then there was a presentation.

Yep, you guessed it, it was an MLM. It was the mid 2000s, so it wasn’t really well known as an MLM or pyramid scheme at the time. Hell, I couldn’t even understand why I was sitting through a presentation and not doing an interview. I realized it wasn’t a job when they started asking for money to commit. Barely 20 me still didn’t realize it’s a scam, but fortunately I literally had no money so couldn’t offer anything either way lol. After a lot of prodding, they finally let me go if I wrote down the names and number of 5 people I know. Then I realized that’s how they got my number. Someone in my circle went through the same thing and gave my contact info away.

The average Lemming has the nuance of a wrecking ball

He’s not wrong lol. I can imagine how much worse it is as an admin. It’s unfortunate that Tesseract is going down with the ship. I remember I was among the first to provide feedback when he first posted it on lemmy.

If you’re on desktop, Alexandrite is great. The 2-column view really maximizes screen real estate.

Not much really. Separate profile on your machine or run it in a VM. Then maybe use a vpn. But that doesn’t really hide anything from zoom itself. Maybe use a throwaway email.

I just watched an interview of Karen Hao and she mentioned something along the lines of executives being oversold AI as something to replace everyone instead of something that should exist alongside people to help them, and they believe it.

The measures you’ve taken are more than enough for your threat model. I think it now depends on your data hygiene. Weakest link kinda thing, where it doesn’t matter if your home network is locked down and you use privacy friendly services if you’re careless with your data anyway; which I assume you aren’t.

There’s a 4chan equivalent that uses activitypub, I just forgot the name.

Openbox. Simple and efficient.

What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

Except breaking end-to-end encrypted messaging. That’s the one sore spot.

.zip has the closest instance policies to .ee. A lot of .ee refugees moved there (me included). Some also moved to piefed if you’re considering that.

Assuming your group has a considerable amount of non tech savvy people, I would suggest Friendica just for the familiarity, since it’s supposed to be like facebook and it would be easier for people to use. I don’t know if it has groups though. You might also sacrifice admin/mod capabilities. I’m not familiar how good friendica’s admin tools are (if any).

Another person already said it, but the issue is the lack of third spaces. You don’t need to physically go to an office to get a sense of community. Working remotely makes it easier to get a sense of community if there are third spaces because you’re not stuck in a building for 8 hours. If your only source of community is your workplace, then you have other problems.
