I trust code more than politics.

  • Samsung → iPhone: Need Your De-Google Tips

  • LibreTube uses the Material Design 3 design language, which, in my opinion, looks much nicer, more user friendly, and more responsive. NewPipe (and its forks) don't even use the proper system calls for Picture In Picture.

  • I would consider GrapheneOS instead of iOS. GrapheneOS provides full compatibility with Android without Google, and you can optionally install Google Play Services. Apple is as bad as Google in some aspects.

    As for your main questions, these are my suggestions:

    Most of these are Android-only, because iOS is still privacy invasive by nature. More software can be found on my list of software.

    Cheers!

  • How can I download this audio file?

    Jump

  • For this website, it seems the only way is by fetching the MP3 URL from the network tab (or a random JavaScript file) and passing it into yt-dlp like so:

    yt-dlp "https://audio.usborne.com/audio/Book Readings/Phonics Readers/9781801319591_pho_cockatoos-on-cruise_am-eng_br-pt.mp3"

    This will correctly download it.

  • Open source real time voice changer app for making phone call

    Jump

  • Let's not forget: privacy is not a sign of wrongdoing.

    Some friends wanted to make a podcast, and asked me to join. I agreed under the condition that I could use a real-time voice changer, because I didn't want my real voice publicly on the internet. That's one legitimate use case. Maybe OP is calling a support number, which often monitor and record your calls. OP could also just be calling a friend, you never know who could be listening in.

    In any case, voice changers are just software. It's not creepy unless you know for sure it's being used for something creepy. Anything can be used for good or bad.

  • The Flag of Privacy

  • As I mentioned in the post, the icon was created by Gordon Dylan Johnson. The way I interpret it is that the eye represents surveillance, and you are holding up your hand, which is the body language for "stop."

  • That would be great, thank you! I have a hunch I'm not the only one with WebGL disabled.

  • Looks amazing :)

    Thank you!

    here’s how it is when flying

    Is there a version that doesn't use WebGL?

  • I received a single flash drive for my birthday one year. That flash drive unlocked the world of Linux to me, and kicked my privacy journey in motion. I've come so far in the years since. It truly was the best gift I ever received.

  • ClamAV is an open source antivirus, but I would recommend against using an antivirus altogether due to their invasive nature. You shouldn't need one with proper sandboxing and isolation.

    Jump

  • Mainly because it's proprietary, privacy invasive by nature, and invasive on computers.

  • The intention was more "Banks keep my data safe," but I wanted to provide a clearer explanation that if your data isn't safe, neither is your money. I didn't have enough room to put my full thoughts.

  • Encryption is a type of security, and Tor/VPNs encrypt your traffic. Accessing .onion sites over Tor is (at least in theory) more secure than accessing clearnet sites.

  • [OC] What People Think Privacy/Security Is

    Jump

  • Yes, this was the intention. It helps protect your website's data by slowing down web scrapers.

  • Proton VPN and Mullvad VPN are both open source, meaning their code can be publicly audited to make sure they're upholding their standards of privacy and security. Furthermore, Proton VPN offers a free tier. These are the main 2 reasons. NordVPN only protects your privacy against other websites, not NordVPN themselves. Hope this helps! Let me know if you want more details.

    Edit: Mullvad VPN can also be paid for in cash/Monero, and they don't ask for any personal information to use it (not even a username!)
