Check out Louis Rossmanns video about them. A rather shady company.

Let's not forget now that Purism is a scam. Librem 5 is a joke.

Noone. Why would you be rude to anyone and spend your energy on making their day miserable which by extension effects your mood too?

Morale: don't be rude for the sake of being rude, that's just... rude. And you ain't no saint for gloating about it either.

What UI decisions? My Firefox looks just fine. Also don't use Ghostery or Privcy Badger, Firefox on strict mode with uBlock Origin is more than enough for most folks. If it's not enough for you though, check out Cromite or Mull browsers.

Don't even need Privacy Badger nowadays, uBlock origin does it all.

I’ve had my account for about 2 years. During that time I've collected 14 pages of emails, each page has 50 emails and some are even stacked emails from the same sender. All of this takes up about 32MB of said 1GB so space in the free tier is definitely not an issue for just emails haha.

In the credits of the latest Fairphone video, they mentioned FP5 being one of the phones that the video was shot on. I also think the video where the CEO thanked the community showed the FP5 on the table. What do you guys think?

Can not tell if this is satire or not because while Windows has its fair share of issues, I've yet to encounter something that I couldn't fix. Every time I've installed windows it just worked. People keep whining about windows being just absolute dogshit and then there's me who has never understood that shit because windows just keeps working like it should. And I install windows frequently enough to know/notice if anything is wrong. Like how can't you get steam to start? You must be doing sth wrong... Idk man i just can't relate like at all... Wish I could help instead.

(okay i lied where i said "I've yet to encounter something that I couldn't fix". There's this annoying little shit bug that recently cropped up where my 2 desktop icons in the top left get moved when i move a file to for example the middle of my desktop. One of 3 things happens: it puts it where i wanted it to in the middle OR it puts it IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER which moves my icons down one OR it puts it BETWEEN the two icons i have there. AND best of all IT DOESN'T EVEN STAY THERE it like is there for just a second and then it flicks to wherever i wanted it in the first place, leaving my icons MOVED from where they originally were GOD I HATE THIS SO MUCH oh and I also hate how windows handles file transfers of any kind.)

From ente Authenticator launch blog post, they do state it is open-source.

So back when I wasn't as privacy conscious as I am now, I started using Huawei Health as it came with a device. Now i've done that for about 6 years. Started with just counting my steps to eventually buying a Huawei fitness band for the integration and to have even more data in the app. It's a good band but... it's still all Huawei lol. So I've been thinking of switching.

However, all the health data i've gathered over that long period of time is in that app. Is there any way to transfer all that data to a more privacy focused service? And i mean ALL of it. From steps and amount of sleep to what my pulse was on a random day of a random year at a random time of said day.

Or do I have to abandon that data in the pursuit of privacy? And what would even be a more privacy focused solution?

Due to the size constraints, there's not much to recommend (I am currently typing this on an iphone 7 lols). Since you mentioned GrapheneOS, which can only be installed on Pixel devices, I'd recommend the Pixel 7a. It's definitely bigger than an iPhone 7, but it is the newest Pixel device. To get a phone that's smaller that supports Graphene, I'd have to recommend a Pixel 5a instead. It's older but closer to the size you wish for. Pick your poison.

Check out Consent-O-Matic, it automatically handles most GDPR compliant cookie prompts in the most privacy conscious way possible for the user.

You're correct but you can still use it without ever attaching an account to it, which is preferrable.

[-] sir_whocampsalot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Don't ditch your pixel, as you can replace the Stock Android on your phone with GrapheneOS instead. It's still android but more secure. Google Auth is probably one of the easiest to ditch. For something like Authy or Authenticator Pro, although you won't have to do that. Google's authenticator is good enough really, even from the privacy side of things. Maps and YouTube though? Those are indeed tough to leave behind.
