netchami, in I deleted my google accounts today

Congrats!

You can only do so much to secure your account. Everything else is in the hands of the developers. I’m not really understanding.

Can you specifically say what your end goal is and what you want to avoid?

You mention privacy concerns, then population problems, but then ask about security - just looking for something more concrete ig would help me help you

    ErKaf,

    I already made a bug report on Signal’s Website. Wouldn’t that be a duplicate.

    fmstrat,

    Why would you send them to the Android repo instead of github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop?

    MigratingtoLemmy, in I deleted my google accounts today

    Exclusively Tutanota/Proton?

    majestictechie, in Privacy benefits of Custom roms

    The OS itself is private because it’s DeGoogled. I also installed GApps because I wanted the convinence of the App store and core feature I’ve been used to for so long.

    I also knew the moment I did the google-fication privacy was out the window.

    I was fine with LineageOS and would happily go back when my Pixel7a becomes EOL.

    You don’t need an antivirus. No one needs an antivirus. Common sense is good enough.

    JackSkellington,

    Thanks!!! Weird that without looking for any there are ads popping up everywhere is for antivirus.

    So for the macOS system , if I want to do a scan once in a while (even to catch windows-targeted stuff so that I don’t get bad files in backups) what would you advise ? I go on the “high seas” occasionally for anime, books and tv series… that’s one of my worries

    jacktherippah,

    If you REALLY need it, I’ve seen some people recommend ClamAV but really, I don’t like the concept of antiviruses. They run with I’m assuming full access to your storage and generally bog down your system performance. IMO, the best line of defense for your system is you. Use your common sense, stray clear of the shady websites, stick to well known and safe recommendations (especially relevant since you sail the high seas) and don’t run random commands from the internet.

    I, umm, this is good news. For project doing their job at keeping us safe.

    Oisteink, in My idea of maintaining E2EE between people in the age of the UK's and EU's anti-privacy laws

    Longest shower though I’ve seen for a while. While you seem somewhat clueless in what you talk about you manage to fit in many cool words. That’s a plus.

    Templa, in Looking for FOSS android TV (or something like Kodi, but dumber)

    I’m also currently looking for one as we really want to ditch our Nvidia Shield Pro. However the shield has so many features and codecs that I’m unsure if there’s such thing.

    gomp,

    You should be able to run Lineage on the shield (double check the specific model)… maybe you can try that and re-flash the stock OS if it doesn’t work for you.

    Jaggs, in Looking for FOSS android TV (or something like Kodi, but dumber)

    What about one of the Chinese TV boxes? For example = www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005533473983.html

    solariplex,

    Aren’t most of those at best vulnerable as a leaf in the wind; and at worst literal hacker gateways to your home?

    deadcream,

    Google-certified Android TV devices aren't known to receive security updates either.

    RobMyBot,

    Yeah you wouldn’t catch me even considering one of those monstrosities.

    gomp,

    As much as I dislike Google spying on my relatives, I’d rather them be spied by Google than by some Chinese entity (BTW: their spying would probably not be on top of Google’s)

    American_Jesus,

    Most don’t support HD streaming due to lack of certification, the UI is mobile not AndroidTV, and many can include malware

    tomsguide.com/…/thousands-of-android-tv-boxes-inf…

    I have a box (X96 Max+), with a custom ROM, comes with only the essencial, but AndroidTV itself is not FOSS, the launcher and other services are proprietary, without it is just AOSP.

    You can check the supported devices on the site

    sibloure, in Michael Bazzell's Irish Exit

    I’ve listened to every single episode of his podcast for years, bought his books, and honestly his material was kinda life changing for me. Went from using Facebook and Apple ID everything to using Graphene OS, Linux, got friends and family using Signal, masked cards, VOIP numbers, etc. I’m sad to see it go but I understand sometimes it’s time for new chapters in life and wish him well. Maybe one day someone else on staff can create some new episodes.

    Paragone, in Nick from The Linux Experiment will soon be interviewing Proton CEO Andy Yen And Wants Your Questions For him

    What are the security-recommendations you have for Linux, Wine, & Proton users,

    that we simply wouldn’t, or don’t commonly, think of, given your abnormal expertise/view?

    Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?
