privacy

I never consent to give my data away or being tracked, but how do you deal with so called legitimate interest? I tried several times to untick them but it is a long list (in fact at the bottom there is a “vendors” link with even longer, much longer list. It took me 10 minutes to get to the bottom of it once)....

I just saw a comment in a thread saying to change the mirror when someone using fdroid was having issues because the mirror maybe syncing that got me to think that if the mirrors are hosted by different parties isn’t there a chance some of them could be malicious ? Are alk the repos under fdroid with different URLs or...

I’m running the latest GrapheneOS with no VPN and yesterday it was failing and saying “if you’re using one, try disconnecting from proxy/VPN” and today it’s saying server not found. This happens regardless whether I click on Anonymous, or Anonymous (insecure)....

I understand firefox is free software and greatly customisable. I think forks like LibreWolf are fantastic. But I believe the FOSS community needs to be more critical of mozilla. They haven’t been the sharpest tool in the drawer for a while…...

This has happened a few times, but it was always related to the use of VPNs because the app is not available in the country of the server, but now, even if I disable the VPN, change the spoofing model of the smartphone, open from a direct link from the Play store (in which the app page opens, however, with almost no information,...

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

I’ve been using this phone number from JMP.chat and I’ve barely used it for much of anything (Started February 27th, 2024), and somehow its telling me I need $35?

Was using my SO’s laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this....

So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I’m getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it’s accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further...
