of course it is clear that alphabet inc licks orange holes.

but waters like sea belong to international waters, basically to no one or no country. so it is up to others to decide naming for those water areas. and there is no global or international authority to decide those names.

so, technically both names are wrong or both are correct.

practically, this naming is politicized by orange turd.

btw, word "america" refers to continent, not just usa.

what about "gulf of canada".

@silver_huskey

all of this could be explained bad luck of events. but i start to think there is too many "coincidences".

the last one this 88 in binary is just weird and too suspicious. if this turns out to be true, i don't recommend proton services to anyone. certain point, one cannot be totally neutral or impartial.

some time ago purism with librem 5 made extremely bad pr. but i start to think that proton's comments have been worse.

@Gargron
i cannot answer, because i never had facebook account for any serious usage.

btw, whatsapp is owned by meta inc. i'm pretty sure that sewer will hit whatsapp sooner or later.

@Infoseepage @benroyce
but, norway is a petroleum state, mister orange is terrified to go against wealthy oil powers.

side note: petrol power norway is planning phasing out gasoline and diesel cars.

graphenos, calyxos, e/os are based on android, which is developed and controlled by alphabet inc.

ungoogled android is a alternative for short term, maybe two years.

when alphabet inc starts kneeling to trump, and makes questionable dealings. in a way we don't know what android devices do in a background.

consider moving beyond android and ios. maybe windows also.

rhetorical question:
do you have google account or apple id in your pocket 24/7.

@jwz @pluralistic
if you have video files on your website, good for you. it is a some kind of alternate for youtube.

basically is youtube's and alphabet inc's data collection and other policies. youtube has become hostile to small creators. and arbitrary policies and enforcement make things more annoying. ads also starting to be invasive and too much.

@pluralistic
it is good time to remind that meta inc owns whatsapp, instagram and facebook. this switching cost applies to whatsapp as well.

something similar to youtube, which is owned by alphabet inc. alternate video sites are not so known but one is peertube, https://joinpeertube.org/ .

@dansup
i have a guess or feeling that tiktok finds a new owner and survives.

probably will be rightwing billionaire, and heads similar direction than x.com, facebook and some others.

@_elena
what about alphabet inc's youtube?

maybe peertube?

i may get it this article is targeted for less experienced users, few points though.

sometimes is more important to secure underlying platform than messaging app, usually android or ios. if platform is insecure or compromised, platform or malicious software may access sensitive data. end-to-end encryption is only encrypted in transit, not in both ends.

if possible, use following link to avoid using google play.

i'm afraid this time, trump is a judge, jury, enforcement, check and balance. it's going to be trump's definition of everything.

and what trump might do behind the scenes !?
