joeldebruijn,

There is a big difference between posting in public non confidential stuff and an app tracking all your clicks and likes and device contacts and telemetry

I supposed the topic starter meant the last one

joeldebruijn, (edited )

I have sometimes the other way around: Grub keeps working fine but Win11 update reboots and looses the Bitlocker Key.

Have it on my phone just in case and needed it six times now. Quite tedious to put it in but doable

joeldebruijn,

The new owner of Simple Mobile Tools? Buying it and then adware stuffing? ZipoApps?

joeldebruijn,

if you want something niche instead of mainstream: Cwtch

p2p, chat-over-onion, meta data suveillance resistant

    Choice is never a bad thing. …

    In this context maybe but overall after a certain level of possible outcomes, choice doesnt cause more happiness but anxiety and “choice-stress”.

    joeldebruijn,

    A comment here at a post from couple of days back would suffice feddit.de/post/8087327

    Does Google still hold contact data after deleting from Google Contacts?

    I am in the process of moving out some contacts from Google Contacts, specifically those that I do not have a Gmail address. It's a way for me to give these people a tiny bit more privacy, as I'm doing a cleanup of my contact list. My concern is that Google will still keep their data even after I delete it from my end. Is it so?...

    joeldebruijn,

    Thats just a user frontend showing your personal view of things . Nobody outside Google knows for sure if they really remove it from their end. All we know is they COULD keep a copy for themselves.

    joeldebruijn,

    I had a security download (but not yet installed) ready yesterday. Logged off without installing. Turned on my device today and couldnt log in. Checked my pwd 3 times before seeing "authentication service not working " iirc.

    After reboot it installed and logging in worked.

    Is this related or not and is it expected? Not being able to log in without a mandatory patch first so to say?

    joeldebruijn,

    For me an indicator would be Cwtch.

    Its an onion adress based metadata surveillance resistant chat app with a high focus on privacy.

    Developed in. … Flutter.

    EU regulation and oculus quest

    Ive seen MS is having to do a lot of work in regards to pro privacy due to EU regulation, I switched on my oculus quest which I keep offline and questioned if enforced account, locked in applications that serve beyond base functions and the locked down setting, surely all this goes against privacy laws in some way....

    joeldebruijn,

    Also just to add: Using an Oculus Quest (at least without the “for business” variant) for work related use cases within EU poses risc for:

    • business continuity when used with fake Meta accounts to have a kiosk mode and rotate devices among personnel
    • GDPR because Meta doesnt sign proper DPA’s
