Liberate yourself from Surveillance Capitalism

Dopo circa un mese dal passaggio su #GrapheneOS ho smesso di girare con due smartphone.

Appena troverò il tempo di esportare la lista preferiti da Chrome potrò finalmente dire #DeGoogle

"A Google employee accessed private videos in Nintendo’s YouTube account, and leaked information ahead of Ninendo’s planned announcements."

One of many leaked privacy and security issues at Google.

@chris ROFL OMG this is crazy, I can't begin to imagine the shitstorm that is happening within Google right now due to this bold ass employee going rogue. It's a reminder to keep Google out of our personal lives by not having an account with them if possible or use their search engine.

Widzieliście nowy interfejs użytkownika w /e/Os 2.0?

Ciekawy, coś mi przypomina 😉

Polecam wideo z prezentacji nowej wersji 2.0

@m0bi13 w poprzednich wersjach też jak najbardziej przypominał. jeden z powodów, dla których się z nim nie polubiłem i przeniosłem na CalyxOS.

If you are trying to your life, be aware that one of the unpleasant side effects is that a shit ton of people will not be able to receive from you. I've been on an email address handled by my shared server provider for like 15 years now, and I can attest that and are both pretty bad for blocking anything from a outside the big providers.

@wagesj45 Have you done all the fun rituals like SPF and DKIM and DMARC?

@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com avatar

@max Good question. I've been using this hosting place since college. I didn't even touch a setting until recently to activate one of those disguised as some kind of domain validation.

I freely admit that I know fuck all about email.

But I don't think it should really be that hard. The "big guys" should be able to detect good mail. And the "small guys" should be able to accept email not originating from the "big guys". Security through whitelist, I guess lol. :big_brain:

Sto valutando l’ipotesi di passare a uno smartphone Murena (degooglizzato). C’è qualcuno/a nel fediverso che lo usa? Consigli? Esperienze? Valutazioni?
Che dite?

@Gert Lo uso io su un telefono di backup, mai avuto problemi, ha sempre funzionato bene, se posso però azzardare un consiglio prenditi un telefono compatibile con l'easy installer (https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer), meno sbattimenti, io avevo un oneplus nord ma trovi anche gli altri modelli sull'usato, e qualcosa anche sul nuovo, a prezzi interessanti, almeno se proprio non va torni ad android

If I were looking to #DeGoogle my life; how do people rate (paid-for) @protonprivacy services (calendar/mail/drive)?

My main concerns are #security and #privacy.

Please ONLY share your opinions on #Proton.

If you insist on sharing other opinions, I only want to hear them if they pertain to
#FullyManaged #CloudStorage with #E2EE that is reasonably priced.

I will accept absolutely no requirement to self-host or self-maintain, no matter how 'easy' you think it is. I have money, not time.

@maccath @dmakovec We also provide an official Proton Mail onion site for use with the Tor network for those seeking anonymity.

It’s also important to differentiate that VPN is not classified as a communication tool in Switzerland — Proton VPN does not log IPs and there are no existing Swiss laws that can compel us to do so.

@alto @maccath Hi! Note that we have a new, rewritten Android app which will soon be available to all users (currently, it's in beta).

@liofmr We're looking into adding them too! Proton VPN is already on F-Droid, and so is SimpleLogin.

@smurph82 Hi! Our apps are open-source and available on GitHub. See more here: https://proton.me/community/open-source

Linux,

Must delete Google.

I am nearly ready to delete my Google Account. The 1 thing taking forever is changing my e-mail address on all my many accounts.

Google's new Terms of Service, you agree Google AI may access all your content (email, photos, etc.). While they do not claim ownership of your content, you agree they can use it.

@Linux Which email service(s) can you recommend, that don't result in messages finding their way into spam, because they don't have secret 'trust only gmail' flag?

@marquisdegeek @Linux I’ve been referring people over to @fastmail. Good service, works great.

Linux,

Today, I BLOCKED, YouTube.

I am expanding my Google free existence.

obi0bi,

@Linux curious, what are you using for videos by creators? Peertube only? I want to degoogle one day too but, that one makes it hard since peertube claims to not be a replacement. Plus my tiny following would be gone 😪

worriernun,

I use @organicmaps to navigate and @streetcomplete to help improve the maps. I love them both. 💗

Thanks for being awesome guys.

I somewhat recently started using OsmAnd - for me the useful features were GPX recording + built-in uploading to OSM, and displaying addr:flats.

@richlv @elmussol @worriernun I used to use it for GPX recording, but I've installed a separate app for that now.

countingquoll,

The #deGoogle project continues. This week I want to get off #GooglePhotos. Looking for a secure photo storage service with Android support that won't sell my data to an AI.

@parslii @countingquoll Thanks for the mention! Indeed, Mike, our Proton Drive does seem like a good solution: https://proton.me/drive

I tried out #grapheneos for a week on a Pixel 4 I got for a few burritos from some guy down the corner. I was delighted by it. I have now switched wholeheartedly to this operating system. Unfortunately, that means I had to buy a G--gle Pixel phone, and that I did. I flashed Graphene first thing and am content.

Apple fills me with RAGE!

I've been clumsy with a few phones, as well, so I make sure to buy cases to protect the damned things. :)

After working through the last few Apple hurdles today (cancelled my Apple Card, and reassociated the HomePods to my spouses iOS device), I finally wiped my old iPhone clean. Apple made it SOO difficult. Thus its very cathartic!

Migrating to GrapheneOS has been an incredible experience. A few hurdles sure, but nothing that couldn't be worked out.

Been a long, steady project but after two years I've finally de-appled myself to go open source.
