    Picking another corporation to base your language around isn’t better. Why not refer to the general privacy concepts that corporation claims to have?

    I just say “I did a search” instead of “I googled it” nowadays, mostly because I don’t like lying.

    Instead of: “Android.”

    Say: "An open source Android (AOSP)-based operating system such as LineageOS for microG or other similar FOSS projects that fully circumvent Google Play Services."

    You know, like a normal person.

    between Proton moving operations and its CEO being a MAGA (or at least a Trump sycophant), the advice to adopt Proton has really curdled recently

      Yes, all his musings about Trump cracking down on Google aged like fine milk. Everyone who paid attention knew this though. He should keep his mouth shut about politics and do his company a favor

      Tuta is much better than proton, but I’m finding Germany to be more than a bit sus lately, too.

      I need to find a provider in Iceland or something, where there’s still a bit of respect for actual people.

    It would be safer if we discussed.this using encryption:

    Would be better if this had serious suggestions. But to add a serious one, please say something like “content blocker” instead of “adblocker”; you’re not freeloading by blocking ads, you’re choosing to not connect to unwanted privacy-hostile content with your computer and internet connection, as you should.
