privacy

I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android… I just couldn’t find the right tool on Android for the job....

Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?

I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever....

When I get notification from my other user account (which is named “Work”), it only says “Notification from Teams for Work”...

I use GrapheneOS ony phone and a Mac with the security options as optimized as possible. For most of my emailing etc, I use Tuta and Proton. There are instances however, where having a Google account is beneficial (some apps for example won’t download from Aurora store in anonymous mode)....

So I joined a new gym last year and was pleasantly surprised. They gave me a smart card to get in and out, that’s it, no app, no accounts, no nothing. Well, today I got to the gym and saw the announcement that they are phasing out the access with the smart card and starting to use, you guessed it, an app....

Started using xmpp recently because messaging apps sucks . I want to see if anyone use this thing .

As Telegram ads are getting more misleading and dangerous than ever (specially crypto ads) just wanted to know is there a way to block them? I’m mostly worried for my more elderly family members getting affected

If you notice your chat messages show up in the chat feed but don’t appear on the streamers in-screen chat, you have been shadowbanned....

Is there any app which mimics the google lens’ image to image search? It would be nice if you could give some FOSS suggestions for android....

I’m looking for an article I either read or heard about during a podcast fairly recently. It stated someone’s kid on vacation visited home, used their parents car, connected their phone to the infotainment system, and since it had access to their phone’s data was able to see who the kid was and increased the parents car...

I’ve been recently looking into watching my weight and diet again. I had used Noom in the past and really liked their services, but then it came out that they were essentially wiretapping everyone. It seems like every health focused app is selling health information now....

I have a specific issue I want to solve right now, but the topic is phrased more generally as I would love the answer to this as well. But this might be an XY-problem because of this, so here’s the actual problem I want to solve:...

It finally happened. My ‘dumb’ TV died for good. Looking for recommendations on a new TV. I’ll be hooking it up to a media PC anyway, but I still want a TV with a good panel and absolutely no microphones, cameras, or baked in ads (Looking at you roku). If anyone knows any good ‘dumb’ TV’s too, I’d be very...

What you think about the protocol and it’s future? Currently it’s mostly inhabited by BTC fans but the idea itself seems much better than what Mastodon/Lemmy is doing...

I have read quite a few posts about preventing account password takeover from various malicious ways, and many OPSEC measures are there to prevent it from happening....

Banks, email providers, booking sites, e-commerce, basically anything where money is involved, it’s always the same experience. If you use the Android or iOS app, you stayed signed in indefinitely. If you use a web browser, you get signed out and asked to re-authenticate constantly - and often you have to do it painfully using...

It seems possible that Brave are building Brave Pro, which looks like its a subscription based service of some kind. A note on the Android implementation of the project reads (GitHub link):...

Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I’m wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)...

Hiya, just quickly wondering if anyone know about a good tool for comparing Privacy policies against each other? Im currently downloading each PP, then using self-hosted StirlingPDF to compare 1 on 1. However, I am looking for a more efficient tool, to compare multiple at the time, if there are any. Any tool that can handle...

Usually I rely on my network & haven’t needed this kind of document in ages, but I’ve been tasked with creating a résumé for myself. I’ve grown more privacy-conscious every year & I think it’s weird that we are expected to give out so much information about ourselves to companies that lie about their culture & don’t...

Every time I come to this sub I don’t see new posts....
