Definitely, a Spotify boycott would only be necessary if they ran ads for ICE, but that would be ridiculous...

As an Android power user (I’ve ran Lineage, Graphene, rooted with Magisk and passed safetynet) that’s moved to IOS this last month. My subjective opinion: app quality is the same.

I found that hopping to different VPN servers is a mildly inconvenient workaround for that.

Give https://docs.openwebui.com/ a look, you'll be able to access it by using your desktops IP while on your laptop (providing you're on the same network).

It's not exactly the same, but as an alternative to what jauntywundrkind you can use V4L2-Loopback and OBS to create a virtual webcam and use that to share your screen. I find it really handy being able to switch between either just my cam, my desktop or both.

While there'll be people arguing that you can always draw someone, or cut out their face from a photo and put it on someone else the major wrong that this is attempting to right is the abundance of services that now easily automate this.

For those who talk about privacy in your own home, there's plenty of stuff that's done in peoples homes that's illegal and no one cares about. This law's only going to come into effect when these start being shared which I hope we can all agree is a bad thing if done unconsensually.
