As for the USA, let me put it this way: If Trump gets elected, with the tech tools the govt has, we will see, at the very best, another Hong Kong, with anyone that disfavors the Repubs disappearing, some permanently. At the worst, we will see another Nazi Germany. He himself proposed executing people.

If you practice privacy and can teach others, your skills will be valuable to the underground resistance.

I’ve started using Kagi search. $5/mo for a great search without selling my sh1t.

I’m now on fixed income but I appreciate FOSS. I usually try to donate, especially if the project accepts bitcoin which I’ve had for a while so it costs me less. Too bad many projects don’t. That includes Wikipedia and they keep asking why I stopped.

You can use App Manager (fdroid) toblock trackers. Pro:fine grain control… Con:TC has essential unblock.

It is. And don’t be an Internet dick, okay?

I’m retired on fixed income, but if I use an app, I try to send the developer some money. I usually only send if they have a bitcoin route. (Which is why I stopped supporting Wikipedia)

Perfect! I’m using Eternity now. Thank you!

Is that because Signal has trackers in it and F-Droid would remove them?

Why is it not actually in F-droid? They want me to install a private repo? Has it been audited or is this a shill?

Ditto

Trust me. I’m that old. 🤣

Allready done. 😃 Some puts a YouTube link, I just scroll past. Can’t be that important if it’s on boobtube

They don’t, but if they force me to unlock the phone, it won’t do them any good either. Doesn’t help if they point a gun at me at an Atm.

I honestly will not put ANY banking app on my phone. There is a risk of getting mugged or murdered for it. I keep a crypto wallet there with abut $50.

“People” really don’t give a shit about their privacy.

If this an engineering school the future is in deeper doodoo than I even imagined.

Jellyfin for FOSS, plex fork

Damn! I hope I don’t have to be quite that careful. I travel a lot so I really only worry about the USA border guards. 😒

True true. But the auth apps I’ve seen don’t appear to be secure. So if you lose your phone…

And I don’t like hw key because I’m afraid I’ll lose it.

KeepassDX already has TOTP
