For me the problem is more in GPL violation: they distribute blobs under GPL3, user made a request of the source code by creating an issue, but they ignored that request. It is not only about “you have to fix it” versus “just fork it” imo.

I asked the same question in c/privacy, you may find some answers useful: https://lemmy.ml/post/15694049 For myself I chose plausible

No, I have two different things:

• org-mode files with schedule, diary, tasks, etc.
• knowledge base, org-roam (orgnote). I have a single base but it contains graphs about topics and these graphs are not connected

I like that approach, because I use orgzly-reviwed on Android with a notifications. And because it is simpler to maintain knowledge base.

Yes… org-mode is more than 20 years old… It is a price of flexibility: I have a strong feeling that one can adjust org-mode to any workflow. But I do not use even a third of the org specification. There are a lot of cool blog posts like “org mode quick start” or “org mode basics”, I would recommend to start from such posts, not from a documentation.

For me one of the most flexible and mature way to knowledge base, tasks and notes is an org-mode.

I have two main workflows. The first one is task management. I have a lot of recurring tasks with tags, deadlines, schedules, etc. All of them are living in org-files in my Nextcloud. On Android I’m using orgzly-reviwed for sync via WebDAV, on my work I’m using organice (via WebDAV) as a “web-version” and also I’m editing my notes in emacs on my laptop (but actually any text editor could be used).

The second one is a knowledge base. I’m using org-roam locally (and with a localhost web server, built in into emacs) and orgnote for Android/Web + synchronization. My knowledge base is Zettelkasten-based.

Orgnote: https://github.com/Artawower/orgnote

Orgnote provide a way to encrypt all notes by your own key/password. With orgzly I’m relying on Nextcloud encryption.

I would refer to the recent FTC questions to “algorithmic pricing practices”. Long story short it was about some companies are using browser data, accounts data, etc. for “smart” pricing. Your brother may not care about someone watching him but I don’t think he wants to pay for the same goods more than others.

It is an interesting question… It seems to me I compared it and I chose Island. But I cannot remember why :D

UPD. I chose Island/Insular only because it is updated more frequently:

• The latest release of Insular was at May 20, 2024 and frequency is ~ a release per two months
• The latest release of Shelter (on F-Droid) was at Dec 12, 2023 and frequency is ~ a release per year

Island work without root. It is based on a “work profile” feature of android devvices. It is not a complete privacy, but at least it allows to separate google apps from other apps.

A nice way to understand how much your data costs

I’m starting to use more cash for daily spendings. The rise of surveillance pricing is terrible, better to hide qt least some of information from my bank.

Privacy is a spectrum, not dichotomy. It is enough, imo, to reduce the amount of usage of google/amazon services significantly instead of blocking it.

If someone missed that: it returned a wrong answer even in the demo video.

That is what I need! Unfortunately, it is for US only… Is there, maybe, something similar in European region?

Unfortunately there are a very small amount of places when I can pay with crypto… I do not want to face also questions from AML officers. I’m not a journalist in the dangerous country or political activist, so Monero looks like an overhead for me.

Mozilla has a very good reputation of the privacy oriented company. I believe that they can make an advertisements with a human face. And it will be very cool, if Mozilla will be able to become independent from Google’s donations.

It is based on files in org format. But it is not related anyhow to org-agenda and planning. It is an only obsidian-like note-raking system with web+mobile+desktop and some blogging capabilities (public/private notes, etc.)

OrgNote. The project is still quite raw but the developer works hard and the overall idea and philosophy behind the project is perfect for me. Fully compatible with emacs org-roam, most probably compatible with logseq. There is a “fully managed” free version with PGP support or an option for a self-hosted server.

It is always a tradeoff. It could be cool to see some analytics of visits, but I’m not ready to go self hosted for that. My blog is just a hobby, not a work, no monetization, etc.

Automatic AI-powered screen lock for when your phone is snatched. Theft Detection Lock is a powerful new feature that uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away.

Does it mean, that “Google AI” will running 24/7 in background, measuring how I use my phone, with an access to accelerometers data and location data?
