Your complaint is genuine and I assure you that the sentiment is shared amongst many people here. I do not like that sub for its excessively tight policies. You must also consider that Reddit has its eye on that sub since it might spread awareness to other Reddit users and harm Reddit’s bottom line.
Either way, I stick to Lemmy and Kbin. Reddit doesn’t let me create accounts over TOR and I2P anymore, which means I’m not going to be able to participate anyway.
Not if you’re running a FOSS ROM (at least you’d hope that is the case) unless the firmware is compromised (which if true would affect EVERYONE so I’m sure somebody had their eye on such things)
Unfortunately, you’re done here. You’re going to need a new number if you value your privacy. I can never trust any big company; you can try waiving GDPR in their faces all you want but with a spineless EU and too much power in such companies, you have to trust them to delete your data. I’m sure you realise that this is a silly venture.
As long as you can trust Apple, sure

Downvoted. You didn’t read the rules of the sub. Yes, you should be allowed to do it, morally speaking. But if you red their notice you’ll realise exactly why you aren’t allowed to do so. Anyway welcome to Lemmy
You can never be private with any device that can connect to the internet out of its own volition. Ubiquity, Alta Labs and Mikrotik should never be trusted unless you’re OK with your data potentially ending up on their servers.
With that said, you can manually upgrade Mikrotik software and selfhost the Mikrotik CHR, Ubiquity controller and Alta Labs controller for a fee (for the latter), which should then in theory invalidate this argument. Even then, I do not trust non-FOSS software for such critical infrastructure so it’s still too much for me, but depending on your risk tolerance this might be a good compromise. I would suggest you to look at Mikrotik seriously - their UI might suck but their hardware and software capabilities are FAR beyond what Ubiquity offers for the same price.
If you want to be private you should get an old computer, buy quad port NIC cards from EBay and run a Linux/BSD router on your own hardware. But that’s not the most friendly way to do it so I don’t blame anyone for looking away
I’d donate to them if someone is willing
How about if I only use the web version?
Not to be too pedantic but those aren’t alternatives to Android; they’re simply custom Android ROMs as alternatives to stock ROMs.
GrapheneOS is available for the older pixels. If you can get a Pixel 7 or 8 series phone at a good deal then there’s no better Android than GrapheneOS. They take security seriously. I equate GrapheneOS to be the Qubes of the Android world
You raise a good point. I think that if an RSS reader could pull from different websites at separate times and either programmatically use the TOR browser /at elast have support for stream isolation along with randomly scheduling when to pull from what website, it should be able to evade most automated measures of surveillance. Timing and correlation attacks are the only ones I can think of other than NSA paying for over 50% if TOR nodes.
The downside is that it probably is a great fingerprint if you go through vpn or tor. But it also could limit your tor/vpn connection time to the shortest time possible.
What do you mean? How is it any less private than on the clearnet?
Funny how the desktop app doesn’t work for me either
No, I meant the logic where the browser would prompt the user to review and verify the cert for a particular website without consulting a CA. I run some self-signed certs already but I’d love to implement this in my homelab.
This is actually a great idea. Is there an opensource implementation of it?
Oh, this is certainly complex logic (for the search engine I mean).
Never heard of tofu before (the software). What is it?
I had heard about DANE and how that would help in scaling back the need for big CAs but I could never grasp how one would do that. Do you know about it? I’m looking for someone to explain it to me.
Saved.
Thank you, I’ll get to it shortly. Dang it’s times like this that make me wish I was running Qubes but alas…
Also, you really shouldn’t give out your email like that. Head to SimpleLogin or Addy and get yourself an email alias too
You can’t protect your data if you use those apps. Pick one.
