There are basic things that I wish non-techie folks would look into and learn.
1.) Learn your natural rights and who they come from. These rights extend into computing. For computers that you own, YOU should be in control of what they do. Most smart phones and Windows computers are not this.
2.) The Cloud is just someone else's computer(s). Learn how to store and backup your data.
3.) You can do so much for yourself. You don't need to rely on bad actors for services.
What else would you advise?
@daniel the level of misunderstanding can be hard to understand. it is shocking how people think it is impossible, there must be someone making money off the fediverse, how if it looks like Twitter or discord in the interface it must be the same behind the interface.
