Matt, in Android vs. iOS

Graphene OS > iOS > Stock Android

someguy3,

Where is lineage OS in that?

Jaysyn, in I only get 82% :( How much do you get?
@Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

95% - Firefox + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + VPN.

The sites that are "not blocked" are sites I've specifically allowed because I use them.

Xirup, in Any way to listen to music (privately?)

I’ll be honest, the only way to listen to music privately is to download it. (And using an opensource music player)

There are Github repositories with CLI programs to download complete Spotify playlists with Youtube and also download their metadata.

merde,

there are also CDs and vinyl 🤷

AphoticDev, in This is the last stand.
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This isn’t the last stand. This is the latest stand. While this fight might seem the biggest, never forget it’s not the last we’ll have to take part in. If this fails, they’ll keep coming with some new idea later on down the road in order to deny us our right to privacy. Don’t give up. Keep giving them hell every step of the way.

sabreW4K3, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

Anyone that promises encrypted mail is a liar. Until the email consortium or whatever they’re called offer encryption as standard, all email is sent as plain text.

CrypticCoffee, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

Is it just me that keeps seeing questions about Skiff that look more like adverts?

It… doesn’t feel… organic.

Eris, in What do you think about Skiff? Is it worth checking out?

Obvious ad???

If you really care about privacy, self-hosting is the only way to go. Gives you maximum control over your data and is not too difficult to set up.

Supercharger, in A entry-based password manager?

The recently released Proton Pass is also open-source and audited, keeps all the entries (including metadata) encrypted, and has a nice UI on mobile.

Devjavu, in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers

If you are using LibreTube this is fixable by disabling piped proxies in the setting. HOWEVER do be warned that Youtube will know your IP, so you should only really do this while using a VPN service.

xuxebiko,

Real heroes don't wear capes, they give solid advice.

ps: thanks

Nawor3565, in Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers

Not to be a downer but… how did people not anticipate this happening? Google is likely going to do everything they can to shut down non-official clients like Piped, since they’re sidestepping all of YouTube’s revenue streams. Hopefully they don’t take the nuclear option and somehow lock down the API and make it much harder to download videos via tools like yt-dlp.

@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

They are definitely in a crackdown phase. Some revanced versions stopped working just yesterday, the yt-dlp stuff, the ad block block…

The best hope would be to get off of YouTube but that’s not happening any time soon given how expensive bandwidth is.

GreenMario,

I updated mine last week cuz it was stopping videos a minute in. Seems to work for now.

pazzeda,

Had the same issue, updating the patches via the manager worked.

hydration9806, in Starting today Facebook must pay $100.000 to Norway each day for violating our right to privacy.

For those who are dumb like I am, the fine is one hundred thousand per day and not one hundred per day (the decimal threw me off)

Syo, in Starting today Facebook must pay $100.000 to Norway each day for violating our right to privacy.
@Syo@kbin.social avatar

LOL. To put that in perspective, let imagine it's some $100,000 annual pay worker. This means Facebook just added 365 employees to their ranks, if they ignored this order completely.

They fire and hire people in the thousands, the penalty is a joke of scale.

moody,

Except this is for a single country. Is it worth that kind of expense for 5 million people? Does Facebook make $36.5 million in profit just in Norway? If not, then this is a net loss for them.

fushuan, in Not that you guys need the reminder, but your work sees all your browser history and you may not even be able to delete it if you wanted to

if you don’t have your personal browsing using a private profile of a secondary browser which you know you can delete, you are doing it wrong.
