And being a private corporation, if their money is taken they could shut down Translink and go out out of business. As long as it has private ownership, they can cancel all transit services anytime they want if the money is cancelled.
No government legislation can stop a private business from shutting down. Transit will only be free by raising everybody's taxes to take more of everybody's money, as I said through higher sales taxes and/or higher income taxes for all people.
I do not have data service to be able to run a hotspot.
Why would something choose Telegram as a private alternative over Whatsapp? Can you message someone on Telegram who is not a contact? How do you you get around Felegram saving info and messages on their servers? XMPP would be a better choice with OMEMO.
I am considering changing from GrapheneOS to CalyxOS. I have never tried CalyxOS, I've used GrapheneOS on 3 phones.
I don't install any apps that are not from F-Droid.
Blind fans don't realize this, but it is possible to implement so much security in software that people can't use it due to too many repeated roadvlocks in trying to use everyday. Is it possible to implement too much privacy?
I will add on top of all the other recommendations, in F-Droid settings, turn off all anti-features. If after doing that, an app you are looking for is not available, check what anti-feature it has for why it's not listed.
I find it disturbing to rulsive to ses people's obsession fot comfort. Yes, all human life must be perserved. Nobody has a right to demand comfort. Nobody has a right to live without fear. Each person must control their own emotions.
Why do you dmand ttal submission and conformity without questioning for people that you will never encounter?
That is a reflection of your lifestyle. It will never happen. Life is a lot better owning a vehicle. Married families with careers owning 2 vehicles. Between work, shopping, needing to get around town due to obligations outside of work, transit is not an option. Try arguing that everyone must use transit when you are raising 3 or 4 children.
