Tech bros learn about diminishing returns challenge (impossible)

I’m pretty sure that when OP said “biology is not binary” they meant “biology does not mean that you are either 100% male or 100% female” (true) as opposed to “people with Z chromosomes exist” (false)

If you want to quickly find RSS feeds without having to view source:

Want My RSS for Firefox

openfeeds for Qutebrowser

Apparently Google has an RSS extension but I haven’t looked into it.

Some RSS tools that are useful:

RSS Bridge

Kill the Newsletter

MoRSS (worked for like, one niche website I look at, but still might be useful)

EDIT: By the way, Facebook has been working very hard to fight RSS at every corner, but most other platforms still support it.

Also, if you use Kontact like I do, it supports RSS feeds through Akregator

Server locations: Riseup is in the US (Washington state), so keep that in mind. Disroot is in the Netherlands (part of the EU).

Governance: Riseup: Look at their “about us” page. Disroot: Look at their “about” page. The terms of service are more detailed. tl;dr: As far as I can tell, these are run by leftists.

Integrity/Transparency: I have no idea how to grade this.

Ease of Use: Subjective. Riseup VPN is just: install the client, turn it on or off. Disroot is much better with a mail client of some kind, so if you already use one, it’s probably a 10, otherwise, the webmail server isn’t that great. Disroot also requries manual encryption (I’m biased here because I use Kmail which makes PGP really easy to use).

Pricing and Links: Free https://riseup.net/en/vpn https://disroot.org/en/services/email

tl;dr: Use collective-run services, not corporate-run services

Anarchists?
