Who the fuck uses instagram for group chats?

I hate Gen Z

Dude. I have a group that only talks on Facebook Messenger. It’s 100% Gen X and Millennials. Don’t blame the generation, it just makes you sound like an old man yelling “get off my lawn”.

  1. Create an IG account with a burner email and join the chat
  2. Sell all other member’s data to advertisement, scam telephone services, mailing lists, etc… subscribe all of them to newsletters from amazon and pornsites (or just wait for all of that to happen naturally)
  3. Wait for someone to bring this up
  4. "I told you, we should move to Signal"
  5. Bring everyone over
  6. Win

My hot take is that Gen Z is less tech literate than Millennials and it’s almost entirely due to iOS.

AndyLikesCandy,

Never take tech advice from someone who hasn’t removed the device manufacturers advertisement from their email signature

digger, in I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android
@digger@lemmy.ca avatar

Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.

I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.

Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.

d3Xt3r, in Is the fairphone really worth it?

No.

No headphone jack, no buy. It’s not a question of whether a headphone jack is useful to you, it’s just the principle of it - there’s no good reason to remove it (especially for the asking price of FP5), and more importantly, it goes against what the Fairphone stands for, IMO. I can understand if it were some other profit-driven company making a shrewd business decision, but for Fairphone to do it, seems very unfair to me.

possiblylinux127, in BusKill Dead Man Switch now available in a brick-and-mortar in Germany 🧱🛡️

Proxystore seems like a super cool place

netchami, in Why there aren't ad blocking apps on Google Play

Let me summarize it for you: Because Google is an advertising company

dingus, in I just want to say that I'm so happy that people are taking notice of privacy concerns in cars
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m basically in the position that I’m driving a car from 1999, and when it finally dies, I’ll either be resigned to riding the bus or finding another aged used car without all this absolute bullshit in it.

Maybe it really is time for the Free Open Source Vehicle.

Taleya, in Should I become "privacy-focused" despite my data before I was "privacy-focused" was used or sold?

‘Should i bother installing door locks? Someone’s already been in my house’

Yes. They have everything up to X date. Protect your future

Tibert, in Anyone use Skiff?

I find what they are offering interesting. But I myself use Thunderbird on my pc, spark on my phone, to get the emails from Gmail and yahoo mail.

Skiff isn’t compatible with imap, and from what they are saying, is because it’s an encrypted service, and using imap would require to unencrypt them.

Cheradenine, in F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

If you are not already using it, github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium, it’s updated and improved frequently

‘Get Android App Updates Directly From the Source.’

DudeDudenson, in I don't want Meta AI in WhatsApp, even if it doesn't snoop on my texts

I’m just gonna say, end to end encryption is jack shit when they can just access the content at the source, analyze it with local rules and call sending to meta how often you talk about a certain topic and with whom telemetry

possiblylinux127,

Or for that matter you could just not properly encrypt it

Zerush, in I don't want Meta AI in WhatsApp, even if it doesn't snoop on my texts
@Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

Easy, don’t use Zuckerbot crap

brb,

Not easy when all my friends and family use it

smotherlove, in what E-Mail provider do you use and why

mailbox.org is quite good. I prefer them over protonmail because I want to use my own client. If you don’t care about using a web UI, use protonmail, otherwise use mailbox.org. you can also take a look at tutanota

poVoq,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Also comes with an XMPP account built in, although they should probably update their Ejabberd sometimes 😅
