Proton yes, but signal, never ever. Proton and Plex.


Tbh, on my list for the future headline: “Hard to believe: this privacy app has been secretly selling data” Brave is in my personal top 3


Sure why not, since my name is Anthony O’Neill. You can find my short form username: Anon.

What could they find? I bet I’m save.



Looks like we are doomed to use PayPal in Europe. What’s the hurdle to create a PayPal alternative?


Same. But it was 10 bucks for a solid working condition.



I saw this on Mastodon yesterday and immediately deleted all my proton stuff.


Oh thx, I don’t trust brave for years and confused about all these privacy recommendations.



Oh, I thought it’s because of the Loki Foundation. This article was surprisingly technical.


Oh yeah, makes sense, reminds me of how I discovered IronFox by searching content about phoenix.js


Idk. It’s the second release and they pushed upstream firefox 134 and Phoenix.js instead of arkenfox which sounds really good.

Btw and nobody could resist that arcticion icon from IronFox…


I simply add the link posted before into obtainium






That’s correct, but not the reason grapheneOS chooses only pixel phones. It’s the level of hardware security features.


I had the same and just realised that the order of the results got rearranged.

"Between 2009 and 2012, iPhones had a built-in "Send to YouTube" button in the Photos app. Many of these uploads kept their default IMG_XXXX filenames, creating a time capsule of raw, unedited moments from random lives." One of these good examples of failed privacy, have fun...

I was a long time lineageOS user and love the freedom of changing anything. I switched to grapheneOS and like it, but miss some features, that are just pointless and not relatable: no full AMOLED dark mode - the devs said the battery savings between dark and pure dark isn’t relevant. and the other thing is: why is the white bar on the bottom not removable?

Because of these things I switched back to lineageOS and realised how dumb it is because of two optical features. GOS is definitely worth to look over two missing features and I switched back to GOS.

Anyway the most interesting transition from an lineage user to an grapheneOS user is, you realise that root isn’t useful and more risk than fun.



Interesting, but how? The only way I see is implement new standards, spread them and make them easy accessible. DoH, DoT and DoQ for example are some nice standards to encrypt DNS. But it isn’t easy for everybody to use them, easiest one I can think about is DoT on Android, but how many Android users use it?

How about jmap? There is a new mail standard but near nobody supports it, and did they really miss to give this standard an encryption on it’s side by default?


Oh I remember r/privacy, this comment is spot on. You expect something like the Linux communities where it is okay what ever you prefer. But privacy-nerds sometimes goes the spying government/tech-firms rabbit-hole to deep.


Got an invite, too. But without an app there is nothing you can do, just change password and write a bio.



Hmm not exactly. WhatsApp is closed source, we don’t know exactly how it works, but since it is based on XMPP, chances are high it uses xmpps own push service. Either there would be a notification about missing GCM or firebase.

Btw. Websockets on signal and telegram needs the apps running in background which eats up the battery. That’s why a lot of degoogled-users install unifiedpush via ntfy-app. Some third party alternatives support unifiedpush, signal = molly + unifiedpush and telegram = mercurygram or nagram.


The one that scares me the most is:

Accept all or Settings

And you have to opt out 5-10 buttons and at the end there is a “save settings” or the “accept all” button again in green.

Who has time for this shit? Just for a stupid article? We need laws against these.


Not usable until they support unifiedpush. I won’t burn my battery with simplex.


Briar is not for the average Bob. Think about journalist trading information/documents, which could be captured if any online transferring is involved.

The internet isn’t free around the world (not free as in free beer, free as in I could do what I want without consequences)



I tried out Image Toolbox for editing images. It’s very feature rich, but very unintuitive to use.

I used this app too, but decided it has too many options and I just want cropping images.

In the grapheneOS Store is this little tool “Markup” which is the original pixel image editor. It doesn’t use any network access and is pretty solid.


This was obvious a joke, but whatever.


Sure, it was just for the laughs.


For the illegal goods? Sir this is privacy not piracy.



The missing unifiedpush feature. I don’t need another battery burning messenger.


Alternatively, don’t do Reddit.

“Cpt. Obvious move” detected. I like it.
