Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
Every time a "privacy" list shows brave, i instantly ignore the rest of it because i know they arent serious.
This, I cringe when Brave and privacy end up in the same sentence. They're shady af
Get brave off that list.
Does Tuta sponsor one of these privacy roundups every month or something?
Tuta is the best option for encrypted email I've seen so far. I used to think proton mail was good, but the ceo supporters maga and they are funding french far right YouTubers. Their reddit subs are also actively trying to censor that fact.
the issue is the inability to use imap and smtp - i use mailbox.org instead
Mistral AI for chatgpt replacement. And proton is run by a maga trump supporter who is funding french far right YouTubers. So, it is not a good option.
Don’t use brave. Brave is a cult at this point.
I wish Nobara Linux would move off it. Every third or forth update, the Brave repo I disabled is re-enabled. Not a huge deal, but I'd rather see the Librewolf repo instead.
You can raise the issue to the developers but from what I see, they don’t have a public page for bug reporting so who knows how many issues actually exist within the distro.
Given that Nobara is just a fork of Fedora, and I assume you’ve gained a little CLi experience, why not just switch to Fedora?
Why not switch Linux distros then?
I bet one of the maintainers is a cult member (or is being paid to re add it) either way eww.
IIRC, the sole Nobara Linux maintainer is GloriousEggroll, AKA, the creator of GE-Proton that is the go-to for some windows-on-linux gamers.
I wonder why they are weirdly pushing Brave then huh.
I have an older comment regarding GE supporting AI use by Lutris dev & using AI for Nobara's wallpapers. I also felt like Nobara wasn't too stable. GE has done a lotta work for that hobby project, but I've switched to CachyOS since & it's been a much smoother experience.
Suggest adding keyboard to the chart. Replace google or other proprietary keyboard with fossify keyboard or heliboard. No keyboard should need or be granted internet permissions.
Already use heliboard
You are doing a good job here! I'll let others fight over your software choices, and just add some things that you might want to add:
Keyboard app (Android): I'm using Futo keyboard, but there are other options if FUTO isn't your cup of tea.
Translation app (Android): "Translator" on F-Droid is a feature rich, fully local.
These two can replace respective apps from Google that you like have installed by default.
Would switch Organic Maps to its fork CoMaps. (See: this open letter)
And I would never recommend Brave as the first choice; it's run by a shady corporation and reinforces Chromium's hegemony.
I think it'd also be reasonable to add ProtonMail to email and Mullvad to VPN since you can have multiple.
Jumping on the bandwagon here.
I didn't know proton had contacts
Don't use proton. Ceo is maga, and they are funsing french far right YouTubers.
Close to what I normally use. I prefer CoMaps instead of Organic, Mullvad VPN instead of Proton & Artix instead of Arch.
