I still much prefer using one of the public Searx instances though

A concept of electrical engineering

Doesn’t Facebook require your name? WhatsApp would have your phone number already from when friends, family, etc. share their contacts. Maybe they would send a link to install WhatsApp.

It’s more of a graphic novel actually.

Only to minimize tracking. I’ve never used Facebook, Twitter, or had a Google account. I would rather give them as little as possible.

Thank you, I will read email. I will setup a dedicated address for it.

I am still trying to understand how this all works in general, and how I can maintain privacy at the same time.

My home area is well mapped, I travel to a few other places both for work a pleasure that are not. That’s where I would like to add data for anyone else interested.

I keep my identities separate for everything I do online. Thank you

I believe I could then use different usernames as long as I kept the original email addresses active.

I have installed that, but not yet opened it. I will look at my firewall logs when I do. Thanks

That’s good to know, like I said, I’m new. Do people often message about edits?

Thank you. I would be changing my username regularly and posting at random times.

I understand that, but in what way? I know I need to sign up, but I will be using a screen name. Is there anything that would tie me to edits, assuming I upload them randomly?

It’s just a different version of that Birther shit they tried to use on Obama

But you don’t see those numbers when you’re looking at a post or comment, so it isn’t like Reddit karma.

Are you talking about looking at a user profile and seeing the number of posts and comments they made?

Definitely not thrilled, and he says in the comments that ars does not benefit financially from this.

No security theatre if you fly private. The most you get is a quick id check coming onto the field.

It’s not just about telling time though. It’s about representing things in a different way. Correlating one thing to another, and making someone think until the representation automatically becomes the output. You are forced to see things in a different way, which is what learnding is all about.

I’ve had something similar quite a few times.

Meet someone, talk for a bit, “where are you from?” u.s. “really? You don’t seem American”

They meant it as a compliment
