I ended up switching to Apple Music. I know, I know, Apple, but like Google Music, they allow me to upload any music I have MP3s of. That includes all the tracks I bought from bands I love (usually through bandcamp, or ripped CDs) who aren&

I mean, both Google and Apple analyze apps for any sort of detectable malicious libraries/code. It's not perfect by any means, but it's something. I don't know why this business got banned. I assume it's due to the

It's not that CA is just gathering data and using that data to target ads. That's normal. But they've also been using fake news, spy operations, honeypots, and other tactics in order to manipulate people. They've even bo

It's decentralized. Larger instances are funded by patreon donations, while smaller ones are usually run by the folks that use the instance. The decentralized nature helps the network scale. And yeah, it's an open source project f

The timeframe is 3 weeks until suspension, then another 2 weeks until deletion. At the time this user was affected, it was 3 weeks until suspension, then 3 days until deletion, but that period was raised to 2 weeks due to feedback that 3 da
