In addition to all the GrapheneOS recommendations, there are also faraday bags. Drop the phone in while at home or wherever.

GrapheneOS. Faraday bags. Depends on you and how far you want to take it. And how much you like and rely on dynamic maps.

It’s cool when these companies get subpoenaed. Then we all know exactly what data they keep.

Proton had a recent subpeona they had to honor. All the data they had was yes, the dude has an email here. But no content. Granted, if you’re exchanging with a gmail account, it’s moot, for those exchanges anyway.

This is really simple. Use Signal or WIRE. Proton or maybe Tutanota for email.

Avoid garbage like Telegram and FB Messenger. Discord as well.

This makes me think of Harmon Quest.

This is hard to look at. I thought our side of the ocean was dystopian. So you get health care, but no private texting.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.

People are already annoyed at base that they need any 2FA at all and don’t want to deal with more info. They just tune out.

I’m not in IT but I followed the Michael Bazzell podcast until he disappeared. Guy was a bit paranoid but there was great info there. My understanding was browser saving passwords isn’t secure, that those passwords are open to scraping from bad players. Ofc I can’t reference this because the entire body of over 300 podcasts disappeared with him.

Agree on Bitwarden and such.
