QuazarOmega, in Standard Notes is changing its license

In terms of privacy, nothing would change, it’s still the same as ever so I think the recommendation can absolutely stay up, even proprietary apps are suggested on Privacy Guides.
In terms of software freedom, this is a terrible change and I really dislike projects moving to source-available models, in this case, as the other commenters said there, I don’t even think it’s legal, unless every contributor has signed a CLA in the past.
I feel for not wanting to be explioted by corporate, but they could have gone the dual licensing path and instead chose to restrict everyone’s freedom, even us users. Now that doesn’t mean forks can’t be made I believe, it’s just that anyone who does that, won’t ever be able to sell the service which could be unsustainable since they made the server CC-BY-NC-SA, that’s a big turn off for those who want to host that

Telegram is not even an option.

aaaaaaadjsf, in How do yall go about meeting new people while still maintaining a decent level of privacy?
@aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net avatar

You’re going to have to use what people around you use. Weather it’s Whatsapp, Instagram groups, whatever. That is part of life. I’m forced to use WhatsApp because it’s what everyone in my country uses. The alternative is having no contact with anybody.

Is this the most privacy friendly approach? No, of course not. But we all have to make compromises to live in the modern world, and this is one of them.

catsup, in Do any hardened Linux distributions exist?

This might be way off, but iirc OpenBSD is pretty secure

RNC, in Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management.

Logseq is fantastic.

The outline approach is great for quick note contributions without worrying about the look of the notes you're trying to capture. Writing journal entries or pages is so seamless, and linking is so easy. Block references are also a powerful addition.

The mobile version is lacking compared to say obsidian, but I've found it good as I'm not focused on propping up the application, rather focusing on my content/notes.

emptyother, in Google Update Reveals AI Will Read All Your Private Messages

Can’t say I didn’t expect that.

toaster, in Fossify Phone (Fossify is a fork of Simple Mobile Tools) is now available, adding to Fossify's existing Gallery, File Manager, and Calendar apps

Are there any FOSS options for identifying incoming spam?

Para_lyzed,

Yet Another Call Blocker. Also available on F-Droid

Caravaggio, in You Need to Turn on Apple’s New Stolen iPhone Tool

Expect a wave of fingers cut off and eyes picked together with a stolen phone? Or kidnappings more likely?

AceQuorthon, in Riot Games Now Requires Kernel-Level Anti-Cheat Software for League of Legends, Following Valorant's Implementation

Honestly, I need to know. Who actually plays Valorant or LoL? I know they are super popular but those games are the furthest away from fun I can think of. I know taste and fun is subjective and not an objective fact, but it still baffles me how anyone can find entertainment there.

Are these games the equivilent of picking up a sport? Maybe that’s why I’m bored to shit with them, since I also find irl sports to be dull as fuck.

cosmonought, in Each Facebook User is Monitored by Thousands of Companies

Why am I not surprised that it is so many…

It’s absolutely ridiculous how invasive the web has become.

Sickening.

amanneedsamaid, in Is there a good privacy respecting rss feed reader?

Read You on Android, and Newsboat on linux.

TheSkullFaceAce, in In case you missed it: Fossify (A fork of Simple Mobile Tools)
@TheSkullFaceAce@lemmy.world avatar

I love being able to just export my settings from the Simple Mobile Tools apps into the new Fossify apps. Makes the transition very simple

Still waiting on Draw, Notes, SMS, and Voice Recorder to be released by Fossify

shortwavesurfer, in Solene'% : NovaCustom NV41 laptop review

Also, from what I understand, they accept Monero for their laptops.

throwawayish,

Also, from what I understand, they accept Monero for their laptops.

That’s very cool. I didn’t even know that. Thank you for mentioning that!

MonkderZweite, in How Meta’s New Face Camera Heralds a New Age of Surveillance

Where’s the legally required recording light?
