  • Looking for Privacy-Oriented Open-Source Android Browsers

    Jump

  • I normally use ironfox, but honestly I don't really have the technical knowledge to know which one is better. I use iceraven for some stuff because it let's you use desktop firefox extensions. With ironfox I just use ublock and noscript, I don't want any extra stuff that can leak data or assist in fingerprinting my browser.

  • I installed iceraven on a new device a few days ago and I had to turn off mozilla data collection during the set up process.

  • For the keyboard I would try Florisboard on f-droid, it gives a lot more spacing and sizing options. I basically make the keys as wide as possible and then play with key height. The bottom offset let's you raise or lower the keyboard as a whole to suit your grip.

    I was a long time AnySoftkeyBoard user until a year or two ago when I finally decided Floris was just better. I've tried FUTO keyboard a little bit, it seemed fine but didn't offer enough customization options.

  • Calyx has you relock the bootloader similar to graphene so it shouldn't flag as rooted.

  • Seems like Chromium-based browsers run into issues with local DNS blocklists

    Jump

  • Not exactly the same situation but I've noticed that Chrome has moved from only being virtually unusable with my VPN running, to actually unusable. It just refuses to resolve URLs and won't search, previously it just gave tons of Captcha popups if I tried to do anything. Honestly at this point I've just accepted I have to make firefox based browsers work for everything from now on.

  • Iceraven, it let's me install desktop firefox extensions on android.

  • Has anyone successfully used a prepaid phone and number for app registration?

    Jump

  • The IMEI number on the phone is essentially locked to the device, swapping sims won't change it. So a phone activated under your real name on one network could technically get traced back to you even when using a different SIM card.

    Also, carrying a phone with both SIMs active is completely unprotected from correlation attacks by anyone with access to the cell tower data. It'd be blatantly obvious that the location of one SIM is the same as the other all the time.

    All depends on the threat level you expect, but if you're worried about a VOIP account being compromised to get your real number, you are talking about pretty sophisticated actors.

  • What other options for good phones are out there?

    Jump

  • I just had a purple line appear on my pixel 8, google offered me $490 on trade for a 9. The line is intermittent so I just rated my phone as good condition for the trade in. There is an extended warranty on the problem so if they try and give me any shit about it I'll just reference that. If you do trade it in, make sure to uncheck the box that says you'll accept less on the trade if they decide the condition isn't as described. I have no actual evidence, but given my fairly extensive history dealing with googles customer service I think they may try and screw you over on the trade.

  • Has any more evidence ever been produced to show Tuta is a honeypot? The guy who made the original claim is in jail for 14 years for passing on secrets while he was director of RCMP intelligence.

  • It should still show up in your comment history right? Why did they say you were being horrifically rude?

  • I mean I desoldered the microphones from my fire tv cube. It had 8 separate mics throughout but it works fine without them, kind of a pain in the ass to do though.

  • Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

    Jump

  • This is my opinion exactly. Plus they don't have a way to upgrade storage without a family or business plan. I just want a google drive alternative for the sake of migrating away from google, not security, though it's a nice bonus. Right now you can't increase the storage on the basic plan, you can upgrade to unlimited but it only gets you 500 gb but costs a lot more. If they had a $5/month plan for 2 tb of storage and no other services I'd sign up right now.

  • Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

    Jump

  • Lastpass is the last password manager you should be using. They've had tons of data stolen, bitwarden is decent on android so I just stick to that. Should probably change passwords after switching over.

  • Telegram founder and CEO alledges signal has backdoors, they don't provide reproduceible builds, etc.

    Jump

  • Who knows how removed decides to do anything? There may be some really stupid arbitrary reason removed modifies signal but not telegram just because removed insists on being difficult. If you don't trust removed don't use an iPhone and just download it on android.

  • That or being relegated to Step-Mom roles

  • Wait why was one bullet $2500 dollars? Ok... but do we really need to be buying sterile bullets for this?

  • Where are all of the reddit refugees these days?

    Jump

  • Reddit is old enough to vote and has several orders of magnitude more users. You can't create that much content organically overnight. As more content gets added it will attract more people who are interested in that content. In turn those users will contribute even more, even if it's just in the form of engagement and upvoting posts they like.

    Lemmy is already experiencing some growing pains because the decentralized, user hosted nature of the platform will never be able to react quickly across all instances. We deal with it because we don't want to be controlled by one overarching entity and this is the ONLY alternative. Are there issues? Yes. Are there fewer issues than other social media sites? I don't know, but the problems are at least different and potentially more fixable in the long run.

  • It's so bad, it feels like using an ipad. Notifications are buggy as hell and you can't even disable notification center with terminal like you could on x86 macs. I'm keeping an eye on Asahi linux but it seems a little too rough to be daily driveable yet.

    Sort of unrelated but the removed support threads are all infuriating because they never answer the question. They embody the "it's not a bug" motto until it's clear there is a bug at which point they just say removed must be fixing it soon and to just keep your computer updated.

  • No he walked out on her and the kids, retained a divorce attorney then got enraged when she initiated the divorce... after finding out he was planning on divorcing her. Then someone leaked that video of him yelling at her while she's 8 months pregnant to put medicine on their dog. At least he burned the 50 million daily wire offered him, I wonder how that's going for him.

  • The gurus normal people trust have this pesky tendency to have advanced degrees and call themselves things like "doctors" and "therapists" as if either is better than being screamed at by a car salesman in a room full of sweaty divorces.
