Privacy Advocate

Unpopular opinion but… First privacy and security is not the same, one relays on the other tho. So find your treat model when it comes to privacy. If its about security as you mentioems qubes is also great, yet needs a lot of knowledge. Your computer is only as secure as you made it and make it! Keep it up to date etc. For a normal user who don’t have the knowledge or used qubes or even Linux in the past it is probably a jump to high. Macos is secure, not very private. Consider all of this find out yout treat model find out what you use your computer for. Separate business and private accounts etc…

What is twitter?

Works for me without login…

I switched from proton to skiff and don’t look back. Really enjoy it and they was giving me a great yearly price paying in btc.

Not sure who was giving me the down vote, but I honestly would love to like bluesky more, but I get to much of those on discovery and what’s hot classic… I don’t mind the cats…

Lots of semi naked dudes and I still don’t know why!

I signed up and it shows that price and put me on a waiting list…

Yeah seen it now 5.99 per month

Don’t you need your mac open for that to work and forward or so… I never looked over beeper

I never understood the all or nothing approach. I use grapheneOS as my daily drive for work, and have multiple profiles for each of my needs. That’s probably all you need, however I do have an iPhone (lots of !y family do imessage and we are sadly in the ecosystem I use apple music for example. I like also some apps more on iOS. Especially for mastodon, but even for Lemmy apple has some great apps. Again I don’t think you need two devices, especially when you use profiles. But I do see why iOS is attractive and used alongside. IPads is another big use, no android tablet comes close.

I am a gadget fanatic, but I also love to maintain privacy. One problem I always see mentioned is wallet garden on iOS. I put some of my experience into the ring here. I use GrapheneOS as my daily drive for most things. This starts with no google services and ends with profiles where I can separate people and groups and install multiple of the same apps… like signal etc.

For lots of my work, I use a samsung fold 4. It replaced my laptop, and it’s convenient. With adg (remove many Samsung apps and the Facebook and microsoft bloatware) and block internet access to most apps via rethinkdns and decloudus, you get a pretty convenient yet private device. I monitor what goes in and out and block all i don’t need.

My family is all into apple so I also have an iPhone (not an excuse haha, I also love some of the wallet gardened things. Like apple music, imessage (for very few people) and I love the focus setup. I know you can do a lot manually on android to get it similar, but focus modes are a killer. I also never found as great looking and working mastodon apps (and yes, I use tusky, fedilab, and a few others on android. I still prefer what ios (some paid, some free have to offer, mammoth comes to mind on the free end). To make things more private, I use adguard pro in combination with decloudus and block apple our of the device. Still get push, and all works when you add a very few domains listing on the decloudus whitelist page.

So I use 3 options (GrapheneOS what is surly the best when it comes to privacy) but also wouldn’t want to miss ios or a fold.

iOS is great and if it works for you and you are happy with it, perhaps even have a mac then you can make it a great, private and secure device. Use lockdown mode is also a great way I didn’t see on android yet.

I use open board since forever and always hoped they get gesture… Why would I need to find it this way haha… Thanks

What is twitter… haha sorry Not even nitter works anymore. Elon is really not just killing the bird

I love what particl is doing. Tried the marketplace, and it works. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

That’s did news. Perhaps after mastodon grow massive thanks to Elon, and Lemmy grow thanks to reddit, we see peertube get his time to shine thanks to Google… #fuckupyourcompanyFAST

Cool, git two in today… will push a little. So far, I like the chat app and the group ;)

Just joined it as well… will promote on social media if that’s OK? On my xmr people;)

It looks very close to iOS, but i guess that’s intentional haha

Congrats, I used it once and worked great. It’s good to have this inside cake. And to the cake team, it’s the best wallet on mobile out there. Loving it. Thanks for doing what you do

It depends on what you need and what the other side has. It is true you can use PGP encryption with proton, yet not with tutanota. However, how many of your friends use PGP? You could also host yourself? This said, on both tutanota and proton you can set a password to encrypt to none tutanota/proton users. Both services are excellent, both lack imap or pop3. Yes proton can do this with a bridge on desktop, but has google services on android where only the app works. Tutanota does that without Google services.

The big question is, what are you looking for? Just a Gmail replacement or PGP capable email. If it’s just for a Gmail replacement have also a look to skiff.com.
