  • To the people saying things like “what took you so long”, I think you’re missing the point. They even address this in the post:

    EFF exists to protect people’s digital rights. Not just the people who already value our work, have opted out of surveillance, or have already migrated to the fediverse. The people who need us most are often the ones most embedded in the walled gardens of the mainstream platforms and subjected to their corporate surveillance.

    When the ship is sinking, there’s some value in someone staying behind to help people get off. That’s not the same as generating value for Shitter.

















  • I mostly travel solo nowadays, but have travelled with groups of different sizes in the past

    Pros:

    • you get to do whatever you want, whenever you want. No more endless debates about what to do, trying to please everyone and ending up pleasing none
    • you can be more spontaneous and not need to plan in advance
    • you can enjoy it more if you’re an introvert
    • with modern phones it’s incredibly easy to not get lost

    Cons:

    • it can feel lonely at times
    • you might need to spend more time on organizing the trip, compared to being in a group. But if you’re the one organizing the group anyway, you might actually spend less time when you’re solo. It really depends if you like doing this sort of thing
    • it’s probably going to be more expensive, since you’re not splitting costs
