Saying something is "dumb" is too nebulous to derive any meaning. Could you elaborate more? If you have the technical chops/insight to provide critique or even alternative recommendations then that could really help to etify the community. These kinds of convos are great for understanding privacy better.

Good callout. I'd recommend this as a first step when downloading apps through Aurora.
I understand the worry and depending on your threat model this could be an issue. But looking through the code I don't see anything personal being sent over to the exodus servers. If you're worried about sending data that could identify you, I don't see this app being a problem.
But OpSec is personal and multi layered so another less invasive option is to directly use the exodus website to look up any apps you have questions on https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/
An alternative to using a VPN as your "privacy shield" could be the I2P network https://lemmy.world/post/19661215
I don't torrent so this may not be ideal.
Banned for Rule 4 last week. Haven't used their community in 9 months so my guess is one of the mods parents forgot to microwave their chicken tendies that day and thus decided to take their frustration out on me.
Another plus of duckduckgo as they support searching without JavaScript.
Does anyone know what rule 4 is? I was banned from an ml community for that very rule a couple of days ago but have not made a comment anywhere on Lemmy for 9 months.
My current guess - I upvoted/downvoted the wrong person as that's about all I do on Lemmy.
I just checked for any bans and yup, apparently so. Four days ago I was banned from privacy@lemmy.ml and the only reason given was "rule 4" whatever the ass that means. I haven't commented on that instance in 9 months so I'm not sure what triggered it.
I got tinnitus just over a year ago and wow did it about ruin me. When it hit I stopped sleeping through the night, I lost a lot of weight, and my days were filled with dread from the ringing and fear of the oncoming night. This went on for about three weeks and I was thinking I couldn't live life like this much longer.
Luckily, I mentioned what was happening to me to a colleague during work hours (I still had to make money during all this.) This individual mentioned they also had tinnitus from seeing military action (IED and firing weapons with no ear protection.) They mentioned their tinnitus was so bad they could barely hear their partner talking to them from a few feet away. The big reveal for me - my colleague just learned to ignore the ringing. They mentioned how they never hear it anymore unless talking about it. This was a major revelation for me.
Mine was very loud, in both ears, but theirs seemed worse and yet they could sleep and live their life normally. After trying a lot of different things I eventually settled into my new state of life after about a month. I'm doing perfectly fine now.
What I learned for myself was the real problem was my anxiety. I was so anxious and depressed over this chronic issue that was never going away and had no cure. Tinnitus wasn't waking me up in the middle of the night like I had believed; it was the anxiety around tinnitus. Once I made this connection and started a few different tricks to alleviate tinnitus I began to sleep through the night. Now a year later I forget I have tinnitus.
I also developed vertigo, from BPPV, a few months after the start of my tinnitus. When it rains it pours I guess haha. But I used the same tools I had on me to overcome the anxiety related to tinnitus to eventually deal with BPPV and now I'm doing great.
If you're struggling with tinnitus just know it is very possible to learn to live with it and eventually forget you have it. Now, I won't make promises for everyone's case but my anxiety filled existence is an example of "recovering" from tinnitus.
This is what I use now after I lost my phone and couldn't find it
- Is this written by an alien?
In the beginning of the video she explains this isn't for everyone. Throughout the video she discusses tradeoffs. Seems pretty clear she understands the difficulty of this.
- Do you not have family you call, or a job?
Once again, this was explained in the video. WiFi is everywhere these days and there are people who don't leave home often. These are simply tradeoffs some folks might be willing to make. It really depends on an individual level and cons of this approach were made clear in the video.
- This is the stuff that makes the privacy community look like a joke
Good thing you don't speak for the entire community and this is just an opinion. This video details possibilities and can be fun to learn new things from. Seems oddly aggressive, to me, to say this over a simple video.
- This is not realistic.
Speak for yourself. People lived without phones for many years. Doesn't seem too far fetched to live with WiFi only connectivity. Once again, tradeoffs.

Maybe you have JavaScript disabled?
uBlock is not reporting anything weird and the network tab resources for the browser's dev tools show nothing suspicious. Combing over the JavaScript sources with the dev tools also show no privacy concerns on fingerprinting.
The posted link is using a FOSS project called markmap (https://github.com/markmap/markmap?tab=readme-ov-file) and the project looks solid from what skimming I did.
