I tried the second approach for some time, but using NoScript became really annoying, since I never knew which scripts are necessary, and which are used for tracking or some other bullshit. It was always trial and error, and just felt tedious and unnecessary. I wish NoScript would have a built in whitelist of scripts that are known to be necessary for websites to function, this would avoid breakages and make it much more comfortable to use.
And basically 99% of the modern web doesn’t work without JS. I don’t know why there are still so many people running around and saying “disAblE jAvAscrIpT!!!”, yeah like how the fuck am I supposed to use the web??? At that point, I could also just delete my web browser, it would literally have the exact same effect.
You don’t control any VPN services hosted on someone else’s (e.g. a cloud provider’s) infrastructure. They have full access and can technically do anything. And they see your incoming and outgoing connections. This is stupid, and doesn’t give you any privacy benefit. There are good and trustworthy VPN providers like Mullvad, IVPN and Proton. Just acknowledge that.
RCS is a pile of garbage for many reasons. On Android, it’s locked behind Google’s proprietary, privacy-invasive Messages app, and there is no API for third-party RCS clients (like with SMS). The encryption is also implemented in that proprietary client, offering no transparency and meaning that it’s probably backdoored. No one should ever trust encryption software if its source code isn’t public. People should use actual private messengers like Signal, with open source applications available for all platforms, as well as all of the features you mentioned. The only thing it obviously lacks is SMS fallback, but it’s really unnecessary, because Wi-Fi or cell data are literally available everywhere nowadays.
Just use Signal. It’s private and secure, available on every platform (including desktop), you can send photos, voice messages and all kinds of other files.
I think we should spread this message and the guide in other communities or on other platforms. I don’t think posting this in the Firefox community will achieve much.
Subnautica can be played together using the Nitrox mod
I’ve been using OpenCalc, but CalcYou seems great too
This is just talking about developers having to include a link to their privacy policy in the respective field in the App Store/Play Store
A privacy policy is only legally required when you actually collect user data. Most devs don’t write a privacy policy for no reason, so seeing one can often be suspicious. Btw if you are worried about a FOSS app tracking you without disclosing it in their privacy policy, if this is the case, F-Droid would display it under the Anti-features section.
Yes, I use and recommend Clock You: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.bnyro.clock/
+1 for the Minecraft Clock mentioned in another comment tho
It’s actually a problem with Google, because the only reason GrapheneOS doesn’t pass the Play Integrity API check is that Google enforces a whitelist of allowed operating systems. Even though GrapheneOS is 10x as secure as the stock OS, Google doesn’t allow it. Since this is a highly monopolistic practice, the GrapheneOS team is talking to regulators to finally stop this: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112916691727814901
Because it’s Google’s proprietary garbage app. Use FOSS alternatives from F-Droid instead.
Oh man, I just looked up the Xperia Z4 and noticed that it’s like 10 years old. Can’t say that I’m surprised that there are basically no ROMs.
I don’t really think a separate device like a phone is necessary to store 2FA tokens, the only option I would consider is a hardware key like YubiKey for storing TOTPs.
I don’t recommend installing random builds from forums like XDA. GrapheneOS definitely doesn’t have an official version for anything other than Pixels, you might want to try LineageOS if you want to throw the tablet out anyway
Personally I wouldn’t keep my TOTP together with my passwords, but it’s up to you
Don’t let this misleading Wired article fearmonger you. I recommend this thread, which provides some nuance to this drama: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112967805820394815
GrapheneOS doesn’t include this, along with many other unnecessary carrier apps
Doesn’t I2P encrypt the traffic already?
