Just use Google Docs then. Yes, it's Google. Yes, it will somewhat tie you into their ecosystem but Google Docs are free, get regular updates and are pretty good overall. I've been using Google Docs for many years now. I occasionally use Office365 for work and Google Docs is just as good, if not better.

Nope, don't rotate passwords. Just don't. Best case scenario, you're wasting your time; worst case, people will actually make their passwords less secure by rotating them, e.g. some people would happily change "password123" to "password1" and call it a day.
Just pick a looong password once, make sure you don't reuse it elsewhere, and you'll be fine.
This is as per the NIST latest guidelines.
The article addresses this point.
This change is justified by the fact that a user can simply log out and view another user’s posts anyway. Except that’s not entirely true. Since Elon Musk took over the site, being logged out of X makes it very hard to view a user’s profile, individual posts are viewable but viewing an account triggers a log in pop up.
So technically it is possible for a logged out user to view your tweets but it's a lot more inconvenient. Anything you can do to make it not worth their while helps.
With this change they won't even have to put any effort anymore to stalk your content on X.
I know of a better way still to protect yourself from stalkers and trolls on X.
Quit X.
Don't confuse authoritarian regimes with fascism. China is an authoritarian state running a diluted version of communism, but it's not fascist. Russia under Putin is leaning more towards fascism these days for sure, but they're not fascist outright yet.
Maybe what the hexbear folks gravitate around the most is the idea of authoritarianism. The flavour doesn't matter as much.
Surprised Ireland didn't even make it to this ranking.

Isn't this basically Firefox's version of the third party cookie block that Chrome rolled out a few months ago? Or am I missing something here?
I mean, it's good news either way but I just want to know if this is somehow different or better.
The problem is that not everyone looks for that human-to-human emotional connection in art. For some, it's just a part of a much bigger whole.
For example, if you're an indie game dev with a small budget and no artistic skills, you may not be that scrupulous about getting an AI to generate some sprites or 3D models for you, if the alternative is to commission the art assets with money you don't have.
Similar idea applies to companies building a website. Why pay for a licence to download some stock images or design assets if you can just get a GenAI to pump out hundreds for you that are very convincing (and probably even better) for a couple bucks?
Realises devs have always joked about their jobs just being about copy-pasting solutions from StackOverflow 80% of the time
