A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I will say this, I love my M5 Air and it doesn't have An Apple Account. Like, at all. Nor did my last M2. Apple allows me more desktop privacy than Ms or Google will, and I don't have to gut the OS. I'm not motivated to because they make the horsepower available to me.
Every other machine is running some debian/Ubuntu variant today, principally. I got tired of the cat-and-mouse and all of the uosells under the hood of MS, and I just can't trust Google in this era.
Of the big three I would say that Apple is the lesser of three evils.
