After the last experience, very proudly homophobic.
I never trusted it because I thought it was completely proprietary. Well now I know it basically is.
3 years is not that much unless the user doesn’t mind changing phones rather often and beating up a phone in such a short time is just a massive skill issue tbh.
Well if you recommend getting an older phone because it’s cheaper, GrapheneOS support may be a concern. Also I think a phone usually can last for 7 years with 1 battery replacement, good ambient temperature and careful use.
Well if the support ends, GrapheneOS support ends too. That’s why more years of support is important here.
I only know 2 good providers: Proton and Tuta.
Didn’t Signal update their protocol to make it post-quantum?
EU countries are going full on fighting privacy now.
What do you think of all this?
Is it a rhetorical question?
Almost every not privacy respecting website uses Google and Firebase analytics. I think it’s common in apps too. The app really can be a pretty useless whistleblower.
Never heard of it. Imo such a service should’ve been covered by at least some content creators if it was good (unless it’s very new). Be careful.
I believe you can stop it by turning off a feature called “fast startup” or something like that.
I’m on Librewolf but looking for an alternative now because it runs very poorly on my 10 years old machine.
It has been falsely claimed that the measure undertaken by MCMC is a draconian measure. We reiterate that Malaysia’s implementation is for the protection of vulnerable groups from harmful online content.
You don’t need to ban privacy reapecting DNS services to ban specific websites. It’s made just for spying.
There’s no file system in existence that can handle a text file large enough to include all reasons why people care about privacy.
The official Telegram client has integrations with some proprietary stuff like Google Maps and probably Google Translate? Another client can help with that. It won’t help with privacy of Telegram itself though.
Afaik Signal servers have nothing to do with it. There are 3 possible situations depending on what app you choose.
Official Signal app. It asks Google to check Signal servers for notifications and to send them to you if there are any.
Molly FOSS. It connects directly to Signal servers without any push middleman.
Molly UP. It asks the push notifications provider you choose (but not Google) to check Signal servers for notifications and to send them to you if there are any.
Ultimately, it’s the apps and not the servers who decide if they want to use Google’s services or not.
Molly FOSS and Molly with UP replace the Google’s notification system with websocket and UnifiedPush respectively for its own notifications. Google (hopefully) doesn’t have access to all notifications you get on your phone but only to those sent to apps that utilize their push implementation which Molly doesn’t use.
But there should at least be a way to prohibit them to share the data with third parties.
