Is there a reason the notifications go through Apple/Google servers instead of directly from the services themselves?

Although, that wouldn't necessarily stop the government from requesting the data from those services instead.

Either way, Wyden is continuing to be the top senator/politician on digital privacy for over a decade at this point.

"Debt incumbent home owners don't go on strike"

He's not exactly wrong. If you have a mortgage, you do not really "own" anything and essentially have a "landlord" through your lender.

You may not just be mad at renting/landlordism. Your ire may be for the generalized concept of private property.

.world never federated with Hexbear from what I remember. I'm pretty sure they were on the block list before Hexbear got federation completed. There was no single incident as far as I know.

Hey. Can I ask if you live in a swing state?

If not, then all these people are moralizing toward you for no reason.

The point being that your place of residence, the place where you possibly stake your roots and raise your family, is not fully yours and can just as easily be taken away if you suffer any type of financial misfortune or fail to keep up financially with the market around your community.

The relationship to your lender is very similar to a renter's relationship to their landlord.

Equity is a benefit, surely, but indebting yourself for 30 years in a location you may have compromised for is the other side of it. And your relationship to a higher authority who truly owns your property remains (until the debt is paid, of course).

Inherently, it all comes back to private property and one's relationship with its owners.

Wow I wonder why they're choosing this course of action with comments like this. Utterly surprising
