I agree as well it’s probably best to assume services that have access to your data in there database do indeed sell your data.

Dude! plasma big screen is exactly what I was looking for. I hope it is available for public use reasonably soon. In the meantime does steam big picture work for other apps like jellyfin?

Sorry, I don’t get the joke?

I like 1 or 2 maybe 1 most.

If you want to set-up disk encryption you should probably understand that while the server is booted up as far as I know there will be no disk encryption leaving it completely available for anyone to take data from

Although most people entering your house would probably unplug the laptop and open it at there own home the data could still be valuable if it stays powered up with battery power.

Fair enough, I’ll stop bugging you.

I have a Samsung phone. I checked app cleaner to see if there are any meta services and there weren’t any so I suppose I’m good.

The construction cite issue is a fair point. If you really need traffic maybe you should try using magic earth. It’s not FOSS but the privacy would still be leagues better than Waze (which is owned by Google)

Your right, I’m sorry about that I made an edit to correct it.

Thanks for asking i’ve been wondering myself actually. I looked it up and organic maps doesn’t actually do traffic, although magic earth does (another not foss but apparenty privacy respecting map app that uses osm) It says it’s just crowdsourced from the general public who uses magic earth (in an anonimous way, I guess there are enough magic earth uses for it to work since Some people say it works really well. (although others say it doesn’t you should probably try it for yourself.)

On another note that I also found from my research just then, traffic knowing apps don’t actually improve travel times but they do make previously congested places more congested. sources:

source 1

source 2

source 3

Edit: Magic earth is not foss so there is no way to varify that the app is actually respecting your privacy like it says it is, i’m sorry for any confusion.

Organic maps has traffic, osmand doesn’t. I feel osmand is better in pretty much every other situation but organic maps has traffic.

I don’t use reddit, but I’ve always wondered why lemmy is any different. I trust the lemmy devs don’t scrape for data but since everything here is public whats stopping some malicious person from scraping every lemmy comment ever?

Piracy isn’t the only alternative to streaming! Please consider putting a side a certain amount of money each month to buy physical disks, making films isn’t free and buying disks is the best way to suport them. Then you can pirate the rest.

You might be right I searched it up and found that protonmail doesn’t encrypt header lines which isn’t great. The f-droid point is also valid. But unfortunately there is no decentralised email providers, even tuta is still centralised. I would be interested if there are any options for decentralised mail.

On another note regardless of whether I’m using proton or tuta it’s hardly ever end to end encrypted since everyone I’m sending the mail to uses Gmail.

That’s actually really interesting. I always like a herbal tea but for me black tea always tastes bad unless it has heaps of milk and honey. Maybe I should try boiling it at the right temperature.

I ain’t giving up coffee any time soon, it tastes too good. Also I don’t really notice the addictive or increased energy effects of coffee. I don’t drink it super often usually just on weekends. Am I just weird or am I expecting caffeine to act in a way that it doesn’t?

Yeah I’ve also heard malware bytes is good. I heard if from thenewoil.org.

I guess I’m in the privacy enthusiast section. Although I do use searxng. And I will admit I do use some things from the top layer, like YouTube and steam. Also i don’t like how proton is a section above tuta aside from quantum safe encryption which is meaningless at the current state of technology (I agree that could change soon) aside from that proton mail is just as good as tuta.

I use everything from the privacy enthusiast section on a daily basis except for addy.io and tuta since i use proton for email and email aliasing.

Yeah ofc Lol.
