My stance is that XMPP and Matrix are only private if you self host and don't federate. That really cuts down on who may want to use them, but it can be great for a small community, company, or family assuming you can get everyone to buy in.

I don't hate all bots, I hate this bot specifically because:
- they intentionally hide that they are a bot to evade our, and everyone else's, methods of restricting which bots we allow and how much activity we allow.
- they do not respect the robots.txt
- the already mentioned lack of rate limiting
I'll add another vote to how good Google Keep is for this, but as this is a privacy community, I'm not sure that is a suggestion that you want to hear.
I've also had good luck sharing documents with Syncthing, but because we tend to only have it sync on wifi it didn't work as well for groceries specifically because you can't add items to the list after the person shopping has left the home and expect them to see them.
Bullshit. This bot doesn't identify itself as a bot and doesn't rate limit itself to anything that would be an appropriate amount. We were seeing more traffic from this thing that all other crawlers combined.
We've had this thing hammering our servers. The scraper uses randomized user-agents browser/OS combinations and comes from a number of distinct IP ranges in different datacenters around the world, but all the IPs track back to Bytedance.
They generally aren't trustworthy overall, but many of those lists that have decent suggestions are just stolen content from more legit sources that don't SEO farm and get buried in search engine results.
I had a couple Windows Mobile/Pocket PCs. They were flawed, yet awesome in their own way. Early Android was clearly better, but sadly it's become a locked down spy fest. I'd love a new real "Pocket PC".
Even in the unlikely event that Elon did get a colony going on Mars, he'd be like Cohaagen from Total Recall, but worse.
I am aware, but Google is the one making this available and it 100% benefits them for developers to use it.
Android Auto is in the only reason I'm not using a de-googled rom. It makes me wonder if Android Auto works fine with no internet connection/SIM. Maybe I could just keep a disconnected "beater" phone for my music and predownload maps with Organic Maps.
I think calling it an anti-piracy measure is being too generous to Google. This is their slimy way to try to get around the measures the EU is enforcing and just to keep their control in general. Every update Google makes to Android brings it further from what I liked about it when it was new.
For all its very real shittiness, you will likely find that Amazon ships faster, has lower prices, has a better selection, and much easier returns than other online shops. This almost entirely the result of their massive monopolistic power. I don't begrudge people that are squeezed for time and money from trying to save either, but Amazon needs to be broken up.
