Unsafe, in Best way to get private phone number?

Use your Sim only when you’re far away from your house. Avoid eSim, as they require to register with a carrier.

Unsafe, in How much privacy will I lose if I switch to e/OS

You won’t lose anything. Both options are 100% private. However, it’s worth noting that Graphene is generally considered to be more secure.

Undertaker,

What? Please stop spreading misinformation.

/e/ includes microG per default and thus calls google servers. /e/ includes unique identifyer per update call tracking its users. Graphene uses several proxy servers to hide user information, /e/ does not in similar way. And so on…

☝️ this is correct. GSF calls home and /e/ is a different beast. The founder of Murena and /e/ is on Fedi so you could drop him a message on Mastodon and see how he answers.

Unsafe,

According to the information provided on the DivestOS website (source: divestos.org/pages/faq), microG only contacts Google servers if specific options are enabled. This means that certain features or functionalities may require communication with Google servers, but it is not a continuous or automatic process.

As for /e/, it does not include unique identifiers per update call. However, it does collect your IP address when you initiate an update.

Additionally, when using the network location provider feature, your approximate location may be shared with Mozilla. However, you have the option to easily disable this feature if you prefer not to share your location.

It’s important to note that /e/ foundation is a non-profit organization and does not engage in any advertising business. They have no company to sell any data to.

Were you using the Google espionage services on GOS? If so, you’d likely gain a little privacy because of µG.

Some devices can lock the bootloader but that’s not a generally supported feature on /e/OS.

I need to give google my phone number for it. won't let me make a google account without

@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

you can make a google account without a phone number by using an android 4 device.
also what i nean is you can just get a sim card from a normal carrier or any reseller (go with resellers if possible, like small kiosks/grocery stores that resell sim card boxes).
This may not work in countries sith mandatory id verification for phone numbers tho

get a burner phone and have a homeless person pay for it with cash… so you dont get on cameras (make sure you dont bring it home, dont have your regular phone next to it, dont drive with it while its ON, avoid all cameras, etc…)

JMP is compatible with any XMPP client. However, this iOS app was linked on their website: apps.apple.com/ca/app/snikket/id1545164189

This from the country that single handedly created the fetish around corporal punishment.

Trying to clean retroactively?

Are the public phone booths still plastered with escort service stickers?

verysoft, (edited ) in Proton domains blocked as disposable in disposable filter

Okay why do these random packages keep popping up with this? For attention?
It's irrelevant, they are barely used by anyone and if a site blocks legitimate e-mail providers, then it is not a site worth registering with in the first place.

Is this the new interaction bait post?

KrispeeIguana,
@KrispeeIguana@lemmy.ml avatar

Just because not many people use a package, doesn’t mean it is irrelevant. For open source packages (or anything really), as soon as one additional person uses a package, that package becomes relevant. The person/people using it become its advertisers, and when enough people are seen using a product, especially a free one, a larger group will use either that package or something similar to cut their own programming costs.

This is simplified, but the point is that we need to stop this sort of thing at the root (the package itself) before it gets noticed by larger groups and companies who might actually get away with this BS. Always remember, we are tech/privacy nerds. We are the minority, and the average person doesn’t care until something hurts them directly.

Spending money on giving kids school meals, hell no way. Spending millions on data collection under the pretext of protecting kids. hell yeah!

These shithouses do not give a damn about the people of the country. How long do you think it is going to be before someone gets blackmailed for voting for the wrong party and being a porn watcher.

max, in MS Outlook Blocking Tutanota Emails As Spam

On my job, they use Microsoft as main workspace, so one time when they tried to e-mail me on my personal e-mail, i never received one, they always sent again to my protonmail… IDK why Microsoft does it… but now it makes me think Microsoft is even more evil than i thought

lud,

It’s possible that your work has problems with spam and has thus set up their own spam filter and that filter might be more aggressive.

There are also ways to change the spam filtering in m365 mail.

It’s also possible that your work hasn’t setup mail properly and protonmail is the one that rejects the mails. We had an issue at work where OOF auto replies didn’t work to external gmails (and probably others) because Gmail rejected the emails (I had confirmed that Gmail was the one that rejected it via the email traces in exchange). That wasn’t Microsoft’s fault.

I can send stuff to my proton mail without issues from two different Microsoft 365 mails.

One missed email should not be interpreted as malicious intent. It’s also honestly quite likely someone just misspelled or something.

I’m doing my part!

64Tib from the Tumblr and Reddit pornageddon. Most was legitimate cultural archiving, but a lot of other stuff got caught up as well.

Reminder: the UK arrests senior citizens for having Sears Catalogues, labeling it child porn

CrypticCoffee,

Source? Do the UK even have a Sears Catalogue?
