Just keep in mind, Brave is run by a for profit company, and privacy is only profitable if your customers are paying for that privacy. The fact that Brave is free for users means that their stated goals are antithetical to their business interests. You cannot trust Brave to respect your privacy.
I use Aliucord which by default removes many of the associated Discord trackers.
It should be noted that all 3rd party apps are against Discord TOS. No one has ever been banned for these clients as far as I know, but it is possible that they could start banning in the future.
When they ban thats when I will use there app as a web app inside Hermit…but for now I prefer Vendetta over aliucord which is far more updated and has themes and plugins support
Thing I hate most about Lemmy is users never miss a chance to shit on the US for absolutely everything. Your employer needs this info anywhere you work worldwide, this is not US abuse thing. Her company sold to a US company and they had the AUDACITY to ask for her basic information? Wow, US has REALLY gone too far this time, right comrades??
I know people have been stating it’s okay to do it (it really is), but you’re asking for help. I think you know what your two options are (give it to them, or quit) you just don’t want to or aren’t ready to hear them and are hoping for a magical third option which realistically doesn’t exist.
It’s great if you are experienced with Linux & its tools as it has a one stop suite for most things I’d give myself messing with at some point.
I could write out an entire review, but long story short as a former distrohopper of at least 60, this is my second favorite “I need a good desktop” distro.
This is required by GDPR. If the company wants to keep centralized employee records, likely where they are based in the US, GDPR requires them to get permission from EU citizens to do so.
The information they’re trying to store is public record, no government agency anywhere needs that provided to them.
Everything they’re asking for is pretty typical for the IRS (and probably a handful of other workplace-related departments). If you’re really that uncomfortable giving them less information than is required to get a driver’s license, then I think you know what your only choice is.
It depends on what you want to achieve. MX Linux is one of the less annoying Linux distributions (although I’m more into Void and Slackware, to be honest), but in terms of privacy (which is the very topic of this Lemmy community), it doesn’t do much better or worse than most other Linux distributions.
Been using it on all 3 of my machines for the last few months. I used to always end up back on Mint but about a year ago that started crapping out on things. MX just works for me. One thing about all distros (that I’ve tried anyway) lately, is that they don’t see the wifi card in my small Beelink PC. So it’s plugged in. Windows did see it, but I wiped that and installed Linux not long after I bought it. Had a couple of issues with KDE and it wouldn’t wake from sleep so back to XFCE. Not too heavily customised but it seems to be a keeper for my main machine - the Beelink. I have a Lenovo Ideapad that currently has Manjaro on - might try vanilla Debian on that. The other machine is an ancient HP laptop - MX XFCE will be staying on that until it craps out for good.
been using it since the pandemic and it is all good. i started with xubuntu but had problems with R after an LTS update (in 2020 i think). looked for an easy to install xfce alternative - tried mx linux and havent had a problem since.
