We are proud to announce the availability of Solus 3.9999, our ISO refresh of Solus 3! You can read our blog post on it at https://getsol.us/2018/09/20/solus-3-iso-refresh-released/ and download it today at https://getsol.us/download

https://switching.social is aimed at non-technical people, but there are other sites full of options for more advanced users:

https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/alternatives/ Degoogleify the Internet by @Framasoft

https://prism-break.org/en/ Prism Break, how to avoid mass surveillance programmes

https://f-droid.org/ F-Droid, an open source app store for Android phones, also on the Fediverse at @fdroidorg

(These and others are listed at:
https://switching.social/ethical-alternatives-for-advanced-users/)

I can’t believe I laughed at this. What is wrong with me? https://niu.moe/media/eQxZLZzJyqJhEj2v7_4

If you have an #Android smartphone, you might want to try installing the @fdroidorg app store.

F-Droid is an alternative app store that only carries apps that respect your privacy.

To install it, go here on your Android phone:

https://f-droid.org

Click on Download F-Droid to start. (You may need to allow installation of unknown apps, either when prompted or in settings.)

For a more in-depth look at #alternatives on F-Droid, see @ChrisWere's video:

#Mastodon wyłącza #Twitter.a 😛
#alternatywy

#Polska

realizing that the content of Mastodon DMs are accessible to you and your recipient(s)' administrators is a little scary, but!

(a) it's little different from how other social networks work and

(b) it might motivate you to explore what's called end-to-end encrypted messaging services, like Wire or Signal

https://wire.com/en/

https://signal.org/

Note: There are trade-offs to both of those options, and of course there are other services as well, but those two seem to be decent choices

Looks like a lot of people want to #DeleteTwitter and try out #Mastodon! 👍 👏 🎉

If you know someone who wants to make the switch, here are some resources to help them:

Dobry artykuł na temat szyfrowanych komunikatorów autorstwa niebezpiecznik.pl

Czyli dalej pozostanę przy #signal.u bo jak na razie nie widzę lepszej alternatywy.
