I might be whooshing here but you could also be a liberal and take action?

Protests are happening everywhere. If you aren’t too ill to do so, show up.

Yeah, but that’s because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I’d expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.

$30 discount on broadband bills

It’s wild that it costs much above $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I’m comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we’ve got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!

And yet, the Supreme Court in the UK claims that trans people shouldn’t be afforded the same gender-based discrimination protections as their cis counterparts.

Discrimination is a social artifact, based on performed gender, not biological sex (whatever that means), as evidenced here.

I have a Pixel, so I have considered switching to something like GrapheneOS, but historically (with other ROMs) that meant giving up on camera quality and features.

Well, that’s not necessarily true.

Some apps, alongside providing their core functionality, such as messaging, also collect a lot of information from all the permissions they are granted on your device.

Think for example constant location tracking or collecting your contacts, as I believe Facebook Messenger does.

It could be possible to provide a front-end that blocks certain requests or spoofs information.

Of course, that doesn’t stop them from collecting information you directly provide to them by using the service, such as profile information, direct messages, interactions etc.

I suppose you could use these services as a skulker which doesn’t have an account (or a semi-anonymous one) whilst denying all permissions and providing as little information as possible. It’s not wholy black and white.

That said, I do recommend not using these platforms at all if you can. Use alternative platforms that provide similar services. Lemmy vs Reddit is a good example.

It’s just not always practical advice for everyone, given that some people have jobs that require social media, or have no other means of contacting some relatives and friends.

Nope. I complain when it affects me and disadvantaged people. Regardless of the party in power.

Politicians are not your friends and should be held accountable.

Especially if you write any code. It’s way better for that.

You will need to either

• Pay for their sync at $5/m (hugely overpriced imo)
• Use your own sync solution like Dropbox, Google Drive, Resilio Sync or Syncthing.
