Whether autism is genetic is not related to the question at all. More people are diagnosed with autism because we have better tests now than before and we test more kids.

And finally we also broadened what is considered autism.

Could you explain a bit? I see main issue with Signal (though I'm not an expert, and they're not strictly related to security): it's centralized (and the server isn't even open-source).

The question is also a lot about your threat model right?

You could put the subtitles for videos in languages you don't speak. What was much more annoying to me was the automatic audio translation (it's still available, but it seems YouTube doesn't select it automatically when you watch a video in another language).

Do you know of PeerTube? It's not mainstream at all either, but it seems more known to me.

It's also in the fediverse, and isn't accused of the same moderation issues (though idk if PeerTube is really better than Odyssee at moderation, I suppose it's just a difference in policy).

Edit: I read a bit about it, and I can see I was wrong about Odyssee being less known than PeerTube. It's strange, I never heard of it, but anyway. Odyssee also includes some crypto bullshit, so yeah...

(Yes of course the AFP claims “editorial independence”, but is any news site “independent” when the funder has the power to cut the money if it says something the funder doesn’t like).

I think that when the funder is the State, laws make that a bit more difficult than when it's completely private. Although it doesn't completely solve that problem ofc.

True

But I don't think they would have said "a subset of" if the sets were identical.

Well what I learned in school was that zero was both positive and negative. I knew some people consider the natural numbers don't include zero, but I didn't know for some zero isn't even positive.

Why a subset? They're the same thing right? I guess it could be about the zero?

It's not that important I think, using a strong password different from all other websites is much more important.

But you can't make a native app think it is opening Chrome when it's opening Firefox with just an extension. The extension only changes things inside the browser, but the Canon app probably checks the app ID of the browser it's opening, which is done at the level of the Android system, and which is not affected by the extension.

Isn't Mulch not maintained anymore, as it was maintained by DivestOS, which has shutdown?

The distro choice isn't that difficult, as if you have experience with Linux you know what you need, and if you don't, just choose any beginner-friendly distro (probably Ubuntu flavors and Mint).
