Basically title, but I don’t want an iPad because of my “open source mindset” ik it sounds cringe but fr I hate Apple’s philosophy and I don’t want an iPhone to sync every shit. Also I’d like to have a tablet that doesn’t all my data to some big corporation (like Xiaomi or Google), and I don’t know where to start...
Yes. A Pixel Tablet was released recently. GrapheneOS (a good privacy-focused custom ROM) supports it too. And iirc the tablet supports USI2.0 stylus. But it’s 500$ US brand new
Has anyone used it? What was your experience with install/performance? I’m thinking of getting one because it has decent specs for $250. I don’t need banking apps or anything like that, and the only social media app I need is snapchat (I know that sort of defeats the purpose, but I just want better privacy, not perfect).
I have a Pixel 6 Pro. Different phone, but same generation and same SoC so the experience should probably large be the same. I had zero problems installing GrapheneOS. The web installer was much easier to use than recoveries like TWRP. Performance is really good, fast and smooth. Can’t tell the difference between GOS and stock. Hope that answers your questions.
The macOS 14 Sonoma betas and release candidate contain a bug that causes the firewall to not filter traffic correctly. As a result, our app does not work.
Yes, it is. I mean, GrapheneOS is the gold standard for privacy&security, but even stock Pixel is a good step up. Think of it like this: on stock Pixel, only Google is tracking you, not Google + Samsung, or Google + Xiaomi. Just Google. It’s guaranteed to be a step up from all other Android phones, stock or not.
Online privacy: Best privacy related thing I’ve done is use a nickname. If I search my real name on Google, only two results show up (and my Instagram, but I deleted it) from the same site, my place in some school competition. That’s it! But if I search my made-up nickname… Github, Gitlab, Reddit, StackOverflow,...
Honestly the lack of ad blockers in Vanadium pushes me towards Firefox even though the devs say that Firefox is far less secure. So many web sites are just hard to use on mobile without an ad blocker so I’m curious what the rest of you are doing.
Today I posted a picture of a stamp with an animal in it and they said the picture contained nudity and made me take it down, but I reported a photo of a guy with a fully visible swastika tattoo and they said that’s fine....
Ugh. I would love to stop using it but I need it for school. My college regularly posts information on Facebook groups instead of its own websites and I need Messenger for communication/group work in college.
That’s impossible to avoid actually. That’s how all colleges in my country work and generally that’s how life works. Facebook is massive here and Messenger is the most popular instant messaging app among the youth.
Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I’d like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don’t want to explain.
I started caring about privacy at the tail end of high school. I started running LineageOS with microG then. Now that I’m in college, I’ve quit most mainstream social media, and I run GrapheneOS.
Nice, I got a renewed one from Amazon this year for $330. It was as good as new, no scratches whatsoever, battery health was at 99% and still had 3 months of warranty left.

Is Google Pixel actually good for privacy?
I hear many people say that the Google Pixel is good for privacy, but is it?...
Is iOS apparently more private than stock Android?
Saw a youtuber saying Apple doesn’t sell data to third party organizations. Is this true? And what about google’s android on pixel devices?

Facebook is a hot pile of garbage that should be fired into the sun.
