I’m not French, never been to France, but this is a little step in the right direction. We should be happy and celebrate every one of these little steps. If nothing else, this makes some noise and starts turning heads towards more privacy friendly software.

Thanks for this. I wish more of us posted resources like this one more often.

Thanks so much. This is really in-depths.

Wao, this is not bad at all. I wonder how it behaves as a daily driver. It would probably be easy for me to adopt as I don’t have a single mainstream app in my phone at all.

Dude, it’s all good. I doubt anyone has entirely removed intrusion from their lives. I’ve been the nut in my family, friends and work environments (not complaining, I actually love being that person) on privacy and cybersecurity. I still keep my Gmail account, the one I used to buy all my movies when I thought Google wasn’t evil. My kids love using the Lenovo Google Assistant screens. I have 2 Chromecast with Google TV with the account I mentioned (my TVs do not connect to the internet). I play on my PS5 with my account and use my credit card (none of that temp credit card or cash or crypto), but I haven’t used my PayPal in years (but still have it). I buy shit on Amazon (it’s so convenient).

The point being, do what you can to safeguard your privacy as much as possible, as long as it does not affect your mental health. You need Facebook for whatever reason? You can minimize the invasion, and still use it. (Full disclosure, I fucking hate Meta, so I don’t use any of its platforms, or even their open source language model). I’m on GrapheneOS in my phone, use Linux exclusively in my personal life, but I’m picking up a surface pro 11th Gen for work this Friday. I need my job, everything is windows based, and it’s just getting harder to use Ms shit from Linux effectively. So, I use Windows. I have a good job, get paid well, so, I have to decide if that’s worth some of my privacy.

Live life man, enjoy, be happy, then worry about the rest.

My experience has been the polar opposite of yours. Of course, depends on the dock and TV as much as it depends on the deck, so our mileage will vary.

This is a pretty nice initiative. Thanks for sharing.

That’s not a privacy win for anyone. What this is is a marketing win for Crapple and Google.

I get what you say about Obsidian just falling off of the face of the earth, but it is just that, markdown, so you can migrate it to any MD based notes app, like Joplin.

Now, I don’t think those meet the nice UX requirement.

I agree here. AdguardHome is way easier to configure and just have it work. Evidently, it’s always important to maintain, like any other software, but it is way less hands-on than PiHole.

I’m honestly more scared of portainer than actually running compose from CLI 🤣

Finally, common sense. Thank you.

You’re absolutely right. Chrome is the worst offender, no question about that.

I’m guessing that the requirements for a PR job with Mozilla say “removed people preferred”.

What is the point of using anything Mozilla if it’s just going to do the same shit as the services we keep trying to avoid, only worse?

Mozilla has fallen, it is no longer focused on privacy. I get that companies need money to operate, but there are alternatives to just poking holes to be profitable (while calling yourself “not-for-profit”).

Everything under the Mozilla umbrella is questionable, at best.

I don’t need this app to know flightradar is a risk.

We’re team “fuck no!”. Welcome to paradise.
