Its a short video and I included the description in the text field. If you need more to decided your viewing its on you to search.

Potentially

Its a channel relevant to privacy, so I’m sharing it. If you think 10min is too long and the description is not enough, its on you to find the info you want.

Its the privacy com and people post about privacy, so you know why your here to begin with.

Check out the video and the channel. Its got some good info.

There are online SMS/email you can use. Still you can skip the verify step for the email. Letting an account age and gather some karma (with few comments to not trip spam filter) should help.

I’d go topublic WiFi before vpn

It can’t. Its just a kernel. Maybe with the right gnu core utils…

I am honestly not sure how to answer that.

Signal has a location send

Looking at Democratic donations lists to see if he’s there.

Pretty much, but GPS being a centralized place to manage notifications also uses a lot of battery. Before I added it I was just using Signal as the APK. On its own it will use a lot of battery checking for new messages. But you can turn that off and just check for messages when you open the app. In that case the phone is effectively only on standby and does not draw much power. I am running a pixel 7 if it matters. I suppose one might also have to self inventory if they care about getting notifications as they come. I certainly do. Still I got the GPS as I was going to be using a few other apps that required them. From a certain perspective I wouldn’t mind being unreachable until i decide to check the app myself. To be clear now that I do use GPS the power draw is similar to when I had a note 9, so it does not seem that the “extra” power use is due to some un-optimized stuff; just that I am in fact running more stuff as one should expect by installing the sandbox.

As far as WhatsApp goes you can download the apk directly from them if you don’t want to install the google play sandbox for some reason.

As far as battery life a big drain is google play stuff. I ran my graphene without if for a while and could get a full week of battery (tho that was also way more minimalistic app set up)

All shinnies spawn at their embassy :sob emoji:

If the US wants your info they’ll just beat your ass half to death with a rubber hose.

Your statement here and every follow up suggest you are asking people to not encrypt. I am saying its worth doing regardless as you impose your own compliance on unreasonable searches.

If you encrypt then you enforced your rights protecting against unreasonable searches.

And yet you ask people to relinquish part of their defense?

And at that point its up to you if you want to give it up. The point is you are enforcing compliance to protect your rights. Please go lick boot somewhere else.

Still worth doing. At that point they have to make a deal for your compliance.

How do you send email tho? Its my understanding that hosting is easy, but major providers will assume you are spam and block? Or do you just receive?

I have been de-googling for a while and proton was next on my list

My boycott is not meaningful because I can’t really finance such an expensive car anyway.

It seems to be so “noteworthy” that nobody is talking about it, and it sounds very optional.

I mean not to be a tin foil hat but they are not going to admit to negative side effects. Take issues with right to repair and how they fly under the radar. John Deere is a big offender that affects everyone and few will know. Your food supply should be noteworthy.

You can’t not have a finger print. You can a best try and look like everyone elses.Sadly the free market won’t care and as such you won’t blend with normal users. Still you can try and look like ever one else in the privacy community

Aegis is also nice

This is how I got started. I found a decent refurbed Optiplex.

You’re right but… Capitalism is a good system to chew that out of you. You touch on it in point three. Seeing how Snowden was treated was not reassuring that the electorate would back you, or the free market for that matter.

Sometimes I do wonder as a morbid curiosity if using their software could have a privacy benefit. Not to imply that they wouldn’t spy, just that they have less ability to act on the information. Like the report of a mother discussing an abortion with her teen daughter on messenger were Meta turned over the chats.

Also as a snide comment the CCCP is the Soviet Union, which is defunct now. One less C and you might improve your standing and get a television.

We are proud ofyour, but your sacrifice will be in vain and not make it to the news. Pick your battles.

Congress ultimately decides the spending.

Why has Biden sent funds and bombs to Israel?

Congress does. Be sure to vote in those races too.

They’re arresting tourists from other countries for being pregnant?

They are not. I live in such a red state and I’m not sure I’d want yo visit as a tourist.

Then just keep stock android. You’re already reducing a lot of data collection by using FOSS. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers

If a worker said this they would be accused of being lazy.

I know about the fuzzy finders and regular expressions. The Q was why I think it is helpful and I answered that. You’re just hitting me with some dogma. You could also just know where your stuff is at and not need search tools either. Recall is a neat idea, but I don’t have confidence in M$ execution or privacy.

Yeah but recent only considers local files and you can’t ask it which one said this or that if you don’t remember. Its a good tool to keep track of a lot of things. As a student I would like that.

Same reason file manager has a recents. It helps you return to previous work. Asking it if it remembers which paper had which conclusion or graph would make being a grad students easier. Perhaps it reminds you about some deliverable you promised in an email is due is three days. I see it as a good tool to organize productivity with. Like I said no one has earned the trust this software would require.

Recall in principal is a cool idea. It is also one that M$ has not earned the trust for. I think Apple would be better received. I’m not sure I would like Apple’s recall, but they have done more to foster trust than M$.

Kinda sucks as I do like having notification of meetings, classes, and such.

I have been wondering this too. I am planning to move and am not sure how to get it working with K9 or if they will have their own official app. Perhaps I will decide to just not have email on my phone.

On a similar note, does Proton’s Calendar support the fossify and gnome ones?
