  • They should stop trying

  • For banking, I use the website instead of the application. I have very few non-open-source applications left on my phone.

  • If you still use your Google account to synchronize your contacts and calendar, you can move them to Nextcloud too.

  • Use cash. A card payment allows your bank and the shop to track you.

  • Many people play Santa Claus around Christmas. Does it mean that there is a real Santa Claus?

  • I think that using gecko based browsers like Firefox is the best thing to do in the short term. But having no competition is a bad thing. So supporting new web engines, like Ladybird, is important too: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird

  • And there is still the 14 eyes agreement

  • It doesn't interoperate well with FOSS software like K9 and Thunderbird.

  • Thank you for your comment. Since I deactivated Google Play services, I don't get notifications on many apps. I didn't know there were alternatives. Unfortunately, the app server must be compatible, but if I can have it at least for Telegram with this fork, it would be a good start. I'll take time to compare the different alternatives and see if other push servers are compatible with more apps.

    For what I understand, there are self hosted push servers, like NextPush that works on Nextcloud, and some that provide you a server, liked ntfy. For the latter, you have to check the privacy policy to see if it's better than the default Google firebase server.

  • In some countries, you need an ID to buy a sim card, so it's linked to your identity, even if you pay cash.

  • I vote for political parties that are explicitly against facial recognition when possible (always a small party that nobody knows). I use cash.

  • Libretube works for me, but not Tubular.

  • Like Windows, Ubuntu is installed by default on many computers. In my university, all the computers have a dual boot Ubuntu Windows.

  • Glad to see you use cash. It's often forgotten in privacy advice, despite being one of the most importants.

  • I think my first donation would be to GrapheneOS.

  • I installed Tubular today. It's a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock. Is it the same thing or a different fork?

  • The multilingual support always predict words in all languages, even if you started a sentence in a specific one. And it will follow the typo rules of the first language in the list. For example, if the first language is French, it will add a space before the interrogation mark (French rule), even if you're writing in English.

  • The library is closed source.

  • Phind had an open source model, but the web interface isn't open source.
