Unfortunately many places don’t give me any choice.

I use an authenticator app where i can.

@delirious_owl

It’s voip phone, texts on data. Not accepted by every bank or 2 factor provider tho.

Thank you for the suggestions.

@delirious_owl

Gotcha. I guess i do have one, Google Voice, but for various reasons i don’t like that for anything important.

Do you have any suggestions?

@delirious_owl

Hmm. When I’m in airplane mode on Wi-Fi i do not get text messages (sms). I might get calls but I’m not sure.

@delirious_owl

Interesting. But I do need to get messages and calls and airplane mode kills that.

@IllNess @j4k3

I turn my Bluetooth, NFC and Wi-Fi on when i need to use them, otherwise they’re off.

Partly for privacy but also for battery life.

Do most people leave those on all the time?

@EherNicht

Based on their website i don’t see how.

Firefox with ublock (blokada on mobile), do not track, a few settings tweaks, and using ddg or startpage for search seems to be pretty much what librewolf is.

@SteveFromMySpace @crusa187@lemmy.ml

I just immediately block people who use terms like bidey-bro.

Life it too short and my feed is too long.

@refalo

Not really. Online they’ll need my user/pass, 2fa for starters.

If they try to do it by phone they’ll need to first answer a bunch of questions (which yes they can probably get), but then upload a photo of my license…

@ChaosCoati @Chozo

Exactly.

But it’s very easy and fast to temporarily thaw it when you want to apply for credit.

I’ve been doing it for years.

@sugar_in_your_tea @pezmaker

Same, and they usually don’t want me to do anything to the bed. Trash on the way out and didn’t be a pig.

There was a very out in the open camera in the living room of an Airbnb that I stayed in once and I really didn’t care for it and hadn’t noticed it in the listing. But, it was a basement suite of a family’s own house and I guess they were just concerned. I started looking for that more specifically but glad to hear Airbnb banned them completely.

@czardestructo @AnEilifintChorcra

So… It’s cool to ignore the date and just change oil at the recommended mileage?

(My car is very rarely driven right now and I’ve often wondered this)

@unexpectedteapot @mihor

“Even a one plus” - ?

@LoveSausage

I’d consider switching if it blocks ads and trackers like blokada does. Looking into it, thanks.

@LoveSausage

Thanks for the link! I already use blokada, so only one vpn-like service at a time I think?

@YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU @LoveSausage

I’d have to root?

@auf strong, but freaking fingerprint warning every time

@insaneduck

Ya. I do it in Android too.

@navi

iTunes
Mail
Safari
Apple maps

Jeez i didn’t even know about office apps

😁

@navi @chevy9294

Just all the apple bloatware lol

@badgrandpa

Blokada

Bitwarden

ublock origin

@LoafyLemon @ekZepp @cupcakezealot

How does Firefox assign a fingerprint? I thought a fingerprint was made of all my add-ons, browser version, OS, screen size, device version, etc?

@AlexKalopsia @ekZepp

It’s in the mobile tab

@cupcakezealot @ekZepp

I use FF on desktop with ublock, fb fence and various settings tweaked.

On mobile I use FF with ublock and the blokada app (which blocks trackers in other apps too).

In that setup I get great privacy results at the eff testing tool. Do you have other tools you like to test with?

Really not sure what to do about the fingerprint, but otherwise feel pretty good.

I think I tried brave at some point and it didn’t do as well. DDG browser didn’t do as well.

@GregoryTheGreat @BarterClub

I hate video when a written article does the job, SO MUCH.

Like if you’re showing me how to fix something in my car fine video. Discussing one web browser versus another? Text all the way.

I’m not going to watch the video in this post for that reason.
