sounddrill, in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

I’m ok with my parents knowing where I am at all times(frankly, they don’t care much about that which is good)

I’m not ok with meta knowing about it

I have the same complaint and I dont know either. You can add at least 5 favorite/bookmarked folders that show underneath, but thats all I know of.

Depending on what you want, a clock app is something you can easily build yourself. Nothing more private than what is already yours.

Work profile, or a PWA I think would be the best way to

U2VuZCBudWRlcyA6KSAK,

What good will a work profile do me? As mentioned in the other reply, what privacy gain am I really looking at in return for the tradeoff?

CCatMan,

Limits data access, right?

ekky43, (edited )

You tell us.

Using PWA you’ll retain all the features and nice-to-haves of the app, while also preventing it from doing any weird magic to your files in the background. Sharing files from your main profile to your private profile is also as easy as opening the file in your main profiles file browser and clicking “share”.

What is your threat/privacy level? How far are you willing to go, and what/how much is it that you want to keep private?

I’m clearly too tired to make any sense. Please have a nice evening.

isn’t cross-app communication from fecesbook messenger available yet?

Redoomed, in Privacy friendly authenticator ?

2FAS which seems recommended for data privacy.

By whom?

There is a discussion in the Privacy Guides forum on 2FAS that you might want to read.


Also, you don’t specify which platform you’re using. As @I_Am_Jacks_____ mentioned, Aegis for Android is great. For iOS, the pull request to include ente Auth in the Privacy Guides recommendation page for authenticator apps is already merged. It will reflect on the live website once the Privacy Guides team decides to release v3.17 of the site.

stifle867, in Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?

Again, seriously question why you need this but you could look into ClamAV. If you’re coming from Windows you’re going to be in for a shock if you blindly try and adapt every concept from Windows straight to Linux.

QuazarOmega,

It’s not a bad thing to have an antivirus, especially now that we see more viruses made for Linux specifically. I still don’t worry much myself, because the number isn’t that huge, but if there was an easy to use antivirus GUI app I think I’d try it

stifle867,

Anyone is welcome to install an AV on their device if they so choose. I was more alluding to the fact that there are many things you should be doing to prevent malicious programs from running on your computer in the first place. By the time it makes it onto your system you’re really just hoping that an AV would happen to catch it.

QuazarOmega,

Yes, that’s a good point, being careful goes a long way, though exploits can really come from anywhere.

Gazumi, in Privacy friendly clock app ?

I use this: www.f-droid.org/packages/com.best.deskclock/

The funniest answer I saw to the question of the most privacy respecting clock was “a sundial”, but thats just my childish sense of humour.

+1 for this app. Functions like stock clock with the needed permissions.

    No, I am on the stable version of Brave.

    Flax_vert, in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

    Used to share my location with my dad until he kept sending me a McDonald’s order everytime I was at McDonald’s. Then turned it off, lol. My mum still has it.

    Illecors, in Privacy friendly Ubuntu antivirus ?

    AVs in Linux realm exist mostly for scanning windows stuff for email attachments, shared storage, etc.

    stifle867, in Privacy friendly authenticator ?

    As long as you aren’t backing up your tokens to the cloud they’re all going to be functionally equivalent in terms of your data privacy outside of intentionally malicious apps. I mean that in the sense that no authenticator app should be sending your tokens anywhere on the internet. Use common sense when it comes to installing Google or Microsoft’s authenticator apps.

    stifle867, in Privacy friendly antivirus app?

    You should really question why you need this to begin with…but you can look at f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.malwarescanner/
