@DannyMac@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t understand where they’re getting their data from and what phones are doing this.

rmkn, in Privacy Win: EU Parliament Decides That Your Private Messages Must Not Be Scanned!

In my opinion, the most significant achievement lies in giving justice authorities the power to make decisions regarding time-limited and targeted enforcement responses. Regardless of the technology employed, it is crucial to have independent decision-making processes that prioritize the preservation of individual liberties.

BrikoX, in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?
@BrikoX@lemmy.zip avatar

DNS blocking doesn’t affect speed, but anything that blocks elements inside a page or a script running in the background does. But it shouldn’t really be noticeable from the internet perspective.

AnnaFrankfurter, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

I usually just use a fake name generator to create a name and use it as a username this takes care of my inability to think of random usernames, birth date and other stuff that most websites these days ask. And it also makes me look like another dumb idiot and not a l33t haxor.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble, in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

Google has made AOSP for years and never banned anyone for using it. They encourage you to tinker with the OS.

Yes but only if you use their Gapps packages unmodified or don’t use their services at all. They don’t look as kindly when it comes to microG and Aurora, or even ReVanced, and they still fight to make sure Google Pay doesn’t work through SafetyNet and Play Integrity, and you’ll only know at checkout too.

People have been banned for using Aurora. You can mess with the OS but they don’t want you to mess with their apps and especially not if it affects how much money they make off you.

possiblylinux127,

Have you looked at AOSP recently? Its mostly dead as basically all the core apps have been replaced with proprietary ones

relevants, in How safe are grammar editing tools?

Grammarly has a terrible privacy policy, so you are right to be cautious. Unfortunately I don’t have any good alternatives to offer as I only use spellcheck myself.

I hope it encompasses enough so companies can’t worm their way around it.

What’s a Google account?

authed,

If you don’t back it up it could be a major part of your life

I do my backups myself. I don’t trust Google for that, I’m not crazy.

diffusive, in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

The question is not what Google does now but what it will do in 1month, 1quarter, 1year.

It has been years that more and more petty measures have been taken.

FWIW I would make a spare account

Xirup,

I sincerely consider that it would be permanent and without notice, because again, that’s Google and that’s how companies like Google work.

I will definitely get a spare account, thanks.
