Name, address, GPS localisation data, habits (like apps you often use, moments you use one device or another), gender, search terms in search engines, open web pages on a web browser, connection (other person you know), the work you do and where you work.

All kinds of things, really.

The usage is mostly advertising or identity theft.

Maybe this: https://tournesol.app/ could be of some help ?

Indeed, see difference between libre software and open source software.

You’re right, but it wasn’t how I took it a the time.

The underlying message I receive was that if you don’t pay enough or you don’t make people dream Steve jobs style, you won’t get anyone to work with you.

I’m lucky, I do have the drive and I can take the time to learn news things and I get to meet some wonderful people along the way. But that’s just me being lucky.

Sorry for venting, but I do think curiosity should be on both side.

Actually I did know the amount and kind of work it required, as I have being working on game projects before (I’m sound designer, music composer and game designer).

It’s not really dumb yes, but a bit sad when you think about it.

Because I couldn’t find any dev to help me make the game I wanted to make.

Just play games you like, you can play most multiplayer games with randoms without chatting or talking. You will probably miss some fun, but it’s not a big deal I assure you.

Just play the game you want to play, you’re not the only one who does it without talking online (like me).

Indeed, that’s why I talked about Yunohost. Nextcloud install is just one click button on Yunohost.

Archive.org if you are looking for a public place.

If you are looking for private use, I would recommend taking a small/old PC and run Yunohost with Nextcloud.

Also all depend on the stuff you’re talking about…

Son you didn’t have class manuals?
