I’ve looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren’t being maintained anymore....

I have a NAS as my primary photo backup solution and one day someone will make a photo frame that I can point at it and it will just cycle through photos, but until that day, it’s just a blackhole of memories. That said, that blackhole is important enough to me that I also back up online....

To be eligible for things like a GDPR Data deletion request etc, is it enough that I am a citizen or must I be a resident? ty :)

Ok I have a question. I’m kinda a noob when it comes to privacy. I’ll follow the guides and do the things to try to minimize ad companies selling my data etc....

Hello everyone!...

Every year or so I try one or more privacy focused keyboards. I always end up right back on SwiftKey after a couple of weeks because most of the keyboards I try have the same problem: the predictions suck....

I understand that Zello is not FOSS, but their website claims everything is end-to-end-encrypted....

My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit.

Sorry if this isnt exactly perfect topic for this community. But i bought a t440p because of libreboot, and am waiting for it to come in the mail. Im very excited and have watched a few videos about it. I purely bought it because of the privacy that can be had

No apple TV please. Needs to support some kind of casting, and the addition of whatever googles casting is would be nice (for an oculus)

I have never used Google Messages but I will most likely have to start using it once RCS support is added on iOS....
