This theme is a little too dark

If I open the link from Discord it goes straight to NewPipe for some reason but worka through the browser, dunno why

Like someone else said here - I do what I can and go on with my day. Wouldn’t assume soneone who cares/proactive about privacy is “overthinking”.

As with everything in life, there’s a tradeoff for everything. I just recently downloaded LineageOS MicroG fork because ride share apps simply won’t launch without Google play services.

What’s actual editing?

A lot of my interaction with PDFs could be completed with filling oit forms/drawing

I didn’t know kagi is supported in Brave mobile. Been trying to set it up on Mull (Firefox) but gotta wait for v122 so I can install via a file

I started a trial witg kagi after ddg stopped finding results (while Google did)

Apparently there’s no RCS API so any 3rd party app will disappear at some point (if RCS becomes the popular protocol)

I never got their messages

That might be just it, the perfect excuse to help ppl move (double edged though, can be used against you too). Thanks for sharing this tip!

That’s a good read, thanks!

Little worried about the second part but I like that’s it’s short

I see the confusion, what I meant to say their keyboard is spying on them which includes their part of my conversation with them. Having an app broadcast the metadata of the conversations (whatsapp) + a keyboard spying on them = me getting profiled, somewhat.

Although Meta tries to go Apple’s way and not share data (likewise for Google, iirc)

Will do, thanks!

Wdym? I was under the impression that the Google native/default keyboard on Android feeds some stuff to their ad-related dataset

Don’t trust them either but that’s sometimes a good sign. It’s been used for illegal activities using a 3rd party client for a while in one country that I know of, which oddly enough makes me a little more comfortable. Or at least that country just couldn’t get access to the data

IMO I’d rather have that and have them clearly say they’re not using it for anything than potentially be profiled on WhatsApp where my friends keyboards are spying on their end in terms of content, i.e. be plugged into a social network with half the conversation exposed that way.

I say sane in comparison to that.

Granted these are my own concerns

I heard from their forums it’s something they’re working on, so hopefully this year

Answer: Signal

I wish people would use Signal, but Telegram is the closest thing to a sane privacy policy I’ve got. There are a few that luckily agreed to use Signal.

Waiting on interoperability, see how that’s implemented in Signal+WhatsApp (hopefully with Telegram to so I can ditch that).

Are you saying that the GSM frequencies used in the US are not supported by Fairphone hw?

I know there are CDMA and GSM telkom companies but I assumed the re are plenty of common frequencies

What other info can help distinguish between regular sims and esims in terms of privacy?

Or alternatively what’s missing from thecomments?

Asking, not trying to challenge you, I’m honestly trying to learn
