Chameleon add-on for Firefox, randomly rotates your browser, OS, screen size, timezone, device type, language, and other customizable parameters every x minutes.
I’ve set it to do so every 5 minutes, and to omit desktop & tablet as device types (else some websites display the respective page) and timezones (messed up 2FA).
I also disabled blackberry and windows phone from the manufacturer ID, that would have the opposite effect from obscuring me.
For the rest of it, it’s working great.
Swype enabled keyboards are awesome though. I loved my BB, but the screen real estate that a digital keyboard clears up is quite significant.
Oh we did use third party tools, and there were 5-8 moderators depending on which sub. I just loved the mod queue on reddit sync to just approve/delete reports on the go. Since I’m in Asia I often got them before my US counterparts, so could clean up the queue early on.
As long as they are still publishing the apk to f-droid, as a user I hardly care where it’s hosted.
Wrong thread?
I left with my 14 year old account after they banned third party apps. Moderating large communities (1M+) with the official app was impossible, and I was moderating 3 of those, plus a bunch of smaller ones. I did Secret Santa 4 or 5 times (move countries frequently for my job, so it wasn’t always feasible), and still have the Guinness World records certificate somewhere, plus a lot of free merch from the mod appreciation giveaways back when they weren’t a shitcorp. Leaves quite the bad aftertaste.
Pretty sure that by now I’d have been banned as well, I never held back with dark humor and speaking out against evil corpos. In a way I’m glad I left on my own terms before it all went fully to hell.
Weird, youtube with ublock origin is all I need to enjoy no ads. Are you using some additional scripts that modify youtube in some way?
What about infosec.pub? Been my home instance ever since .world blocked piracy discussions, and I never had any issues there.
Use Firefox with the Chameleon addon, works on Fennec as well (Android fork with Mozilla telemetry removed).
Correct, Bluetooth pairing and Bluetooth tethering are two separate functions. First is for playback, second for internet sharing.
They changed the phrasing, since in some jurisdictions “sharing anonymized data with partners” can apparently be interpreted as a sale of data, if they get something in return, even if it’s not a fiscal payment.
But after the outrage that sparked, they’ve rephrased the policy again and wrote a lengthy article detailing the reasoning, which is at the very least plausible.
I’m not aware of any alternatives, but then again I didn’t experience any problems so never bothered to look either.
Yep, I’ve removed both of those the second they showed up on my phone uninvited. Even as a non-US citizen, with the current state of their government, I definitely don’t want any corporate collecting data on myself.
I’ve used K9 for over a decade, until at some point work required me to have an exchange account. At that time I switched to Nine, since outlook is hot garbage.
Oh right, maybe I noticed because of Storage Isolation, that’s an app which allows you to restrict folder access of other apps, and it prompts me to select actions for every newly installed app. So it casually prompts me whenever google pushes a new, hidden installation.
Play Store, it doesn’t show in local search results, but they list it as installed.
I loved my BB Bold 9000, but the physical keyboard did reduce the screen size to a rather small form factor compared to modern phones. And I dare say that swyping is faster and just as accurate, so even if there would be new phones coming out with hardware keyboards of the same quality as old BlackBerry’s, I doubt I would switch back.
How exactly can I see who downvoted? Can’t seem to find it in the regular view, and the debug info only shows the vote count, not the voter.
No. Keep that shit practice in the US.
