Who cares about toxic LTT?

I have bought both Lenovo and Asus multiple times. I always felt I got more for my money with ASUS. Never used customer support though. In UK, we have a 1 year electronics warranty with retailer so can take straight back if any problems.

How did you learn about it?

Astroturfing is designed not to look like an ad. It’s supposed to look like grassroots support for a product. Legitimising it for the audience. Strategically, it’s effective. “Privacy market leader is bad for x, y and z, what do you think of competitor?”. It’s classic marketing of “here is problem, here is solution”. Just subtle.

Most people here are probably off gmail or close to it. Best way to make inroads is work your way into a niche which Proton, Tuta, Mailbox did to great effect. As I say, I don’t trash the tried and tested options including rival products of Proton. This is email though, usually you want to put data in hands of companies you trust. Its the reason folk running from google, yahoo, outlook. Being careful and skeptical is good.

I asked a question. You sure are belligerent. I thought I left the toxicity when I left reddit. Not everything has to be an argument. Chill.

I’d have expected questions about Tuta, or Mailbox. It’s weird for folk to pan something and raise a tool most haven’t heard of.

You’d think due diligence in a privacy community would be a given.

It’s quite common to see in privacy communties a post panning the preferred option then suggesting something new and asking folk about it. It can be a way to get folk aware and talking of your product. It’s subtle atroturfing, but you do see it.

Organically, you’d usually ask what folk use instead.

Never heard of it. Happy with Proton. This feels like a subtle advert.

The AI surveillance state requires more data. It wasn’t just US states, and UK. It’s Australia and EU. Either they all indepently come up with the same shit idea, or it’s lobbying. I’ve noticed in the UK when a child dies due to something related to the internet, they mention some tech legislation that would prevent this. It’s like the lobbyists are manipulating folk at their worst to push this shit. It’s dark AF.

I know enough, little one. Maybe you do.

You’re insufferable. Surprised you still ain’t on reddit. That’s where the corporate bootlickers are. I guess Lemmy.world is the next best place.

No. It’s when bugs and crashes happen, and trying to identify how. Such as stack traces for example, or memory usage when an app keels over.

I’m not here to market FF, I’m here trying to counter balance the Firefox haters that spend so much hate to trash the only real legitimate chance we have of Google not dictating web standards. I don’t know why so many people shill for billion dollar companies. Do they love Google that much, or are they simply useful idiots?

It’s open source. You’re assuming this is telemetry without having an idea. Could be diagnostics, could be pocket, could be sync check.

Without evidence, sounds like a load of FUD.

It’s ironic you call me dense.

Of course not. It’s an internet browser. What point are you trying to make?

What are you stating cannot be turned off?

This sounds baseless without any evidence.

And it can be turned off.

Also that.

This is the bargaining stage of the five stages of grief.

Maybe it’s Stockholm Syndrome.

Firefox works for nearly everything. The only stuff that doesn’t work for me is Xitter embeds, and this is a gift that keeps on giving.

So for a little bit until people stop caring.

Firefox is the correct play here.

Yes, but until we have them, Firefox is the best option.

For now. They could default to yahoo and make money. Maybe not as much, but they could sustain browser development.

Firefox is still far superior to chromium.

I prefer flawed but trying guys to guys with zero morals that farm every ounce of data they can.

Very good for certain games. Try VoxeLibre. Its a Minecraft clone turned fork with some differences. A lot of fun though.

Doesn’t tick all the boxes as it is on Lemmy, but feel free to join us at !degoogle@lemmy.ml

You can tell it’s closed source… It has a great name.

Wow, that is pretty hostile to the elderly. Imagine those who struggle to get about? Excluding them from society.

Wow, that is pretty hostile to the elderly.

I’m in the UK. I do not use them. I can login via website, and use text as 2FA. I do not need to use it out of the house but have that option if I want.

I pay via bank debit card.

I would be surprised if they app locked features. It would exclude elderly and probably be illegal.

Out of curiosity, what do older citizens do? Like those in their 80s? Many here do not have a smart phone or mobile.

How do you setup separate profiles?

For it to be the most secure app in the world, you’d need to understand the main attack vectors, and how to mitigate them. You’d have to understand them and how you mitigate them better than how Signal or Element mitigate them. Finally, you’d have to get it audited by a reputable security auditor than will validate your claims.

If you do not have the money, best bet is to have a donation method or 2, like Liberapay, Open Collective etc. and fund raise for it. Active users are more likely to donate, so get folk using it. Focus more on what it is and it’s advantages. “A secure chat app that can be run regardless of hardware out of your browser*. Long term aims to be the most secure app in the world. Join us on that adventure.”

If you do not know, learn. If you really want to create the most secure chat app in the world, you have to become a subject matter expert, know the challenges and rivals. There is no shortcut in this. Depends how much you want this.

Oh, and yeah, JS, if you’re using node, keep your app and dependencies scanned and up to date constantly.

It actually doesn’t.

It is the open source code. You can optionally install Google play in a restrictive sandbox if you wish. You do not have to.

I cannot disagree with the last sentence. He has his fair share of issues, but it doesn’t take away from his ability or contributions.

Depends on what you are referring to. If Linux Mobile, Android apps can be run on Waydroid and there is a compatibility layer like Wine available. However, for Linux Mobile, you’ll open up Gnome and KDE apps. In Plasma, you have kirigami which enables convergent apps (that work on desktop, mobile and tablet). As it matures, more apps will be developed that supports it.

The world and ecosystem now doesn’t define the ecosystems of the future.

What do you mean?

You can use sandboxes play store if you wish.

Well it’s open source android, if the code is bad, it’s jettisoned. While I cannot stand Google, not every line of code they write is trash.

The sandbox is good and you do not need to install Play if you do not want to. I use f droid where possible.

I want Linux Mobile but it is not ready yet. In the mean time, this is the best we have.

You think they use official devices for all their stuff?

The privacy is not about protecting your data from crawlers, it’s about protecting your data from big tech.
