i see that years or decades of frustration in the face of “i have nothing to hide” comes off as insanity to you :/

the pejorative “armchair expert” wouldn’t apply here as the fieldwork is essentially chair based.

:)

“arguments” alone don’t suffice.

a demonstration of how easy it is to use proton drive (to share videos and millions of photos she’s going to dump on relatives who are barely interested in seeing another baby photo) and protonMail would be more convincing.

Privacy interfaces have evolved to be attractive to lambda users.

when it comes to your wife uploading your daughters photographs to google servers, she can’t decide alone: you share the authority (but would this argument matter in a marriage? No?

would having a protonMail matter if the photographs are attachments and recipients have gmail? No.

good luck. Not an easy task

i thought about this post after reading the description but noticeably i forgot the “ios” part :/

this one does ☞ trackbook

OwnTracks allows you to keep track of your own location. You can build your private location diary or share it with your family and friends. OwnTracks is open-source and uses open protocols for communication so you can be sure your data stays secure and private.

ungoogled chromium is a free and open-source variant of the Chromium web browser that removes all Google-specific web services. It achieves this with a series of patches applied to the Chromium codebase during the compilation process. The result is functionally similar to regular Chromium.

I’ve read good things about Vivaldi, which also is chromium based.

i had to factoryReset and installed lawnchair from fdroid and then i tried the Lawnchair.14.0.0.Beta on their official site too. On these versions, like you wrote, it’s not possible.

only lawnchair-2-0-2589 from Aurora store (on google play store) has that option 🤷

which version are you on?

lawnchair > settings > desktop > lock desktop ☜ make sure this is disabled

then long press (touch?) an icon and choose customize (pencil). touch the icon on the new menu that comes up and you should have the option to choose “open photos”

voilà

why is it “best”?

not baiting, just curious. it’s an offline app that functions correctly. Why would i need to keep it up to date like an os or a browser or a host file?

isn’t cross-app communication from fecesbook messenger available yet?

if op can prove that her apprenticeship is terminated for refusing to share her personal information on U.S. servers, like i wrote, it would turn into a greater problem than keeping op’s apprenticeship and respecting her European rights

did i just write the same comment with modified wording?

she just needs to “know her rights” and remind what her rights are

it depends on where she lives. This is not the U.S. and it’s not that easy to fire people with unjustifiable reasons.

She may not want her information to be stored on servers in U.S. and if she’s fired for refusing to do just that, it may easily become a problem for the company.

Criminalization of encryption : the 8 december case

Op-ed: ʻEncryption protects our rights, privacy is not a crimeʼ

The beginning of the “8 December” trial is also the judgement of the right to privacy and encryption

In this case, protecting one’s privacy and encrypting communications is no longer merely suspect, but participates of constituting a “clandestine behavior”, a way of concealing criminal intentions. In several memos, the DGSI keeps on trying to demonstrate how the use of tools such as Signal, Tor, Proton, Silence, etc., would be evidence of a desire to hide compromising elements. And on top of this, as we denounced last June, the DGSI justifies the absence of evidence of a terrorist project by the use of encryption tools itself. According to them, if they lack of elements proving a terrorist intent, it’s because those proofs are necessarily hold back in those much-vaunted encrypted and inaccessible messages. In reaction of such absurd vicious circle, lawyers of a person charged denounced the fact that “here, the absence of evidence becomes an evidence itself“.

maybe because some of us are living around those places.

If osm information around you isn’t accurate enough, you can always easily complete it for you and everybody else: streetcomplete

The google phone app honestly. I’m sure they already know your calls through play services.

that’s not an acceptable excuse to post on a privacy community

privacyguides

in that case i install 2 browsers. One that they use for the sites they need to login (with 3rd party cookies disabled), another with higher security preferences and blockers for general browsing

what do you mean by “thumb-key”? when i search, i see custom hardware keyboards

edit 1 found it: https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key

i have to read more about this, and try for some time to learn

edit 2 it’s so awkward to use. Do you use only one thumb or both? Where are the predictions?

passing from 10 fingers to 2 is already a handicap. sometimes i put my screen on a surface to use the keyboard like a ‘real’ keyboard with 10 fingers. a thumb-key is torture for me 😬

how is your speed with this layout? did you test it?

thank you. i didn’t know that we can merge them. This must be what op needs

AnySoftKeyboard is flexible enough for bilingual (or trilingual or +) use. For qwerty with french, you have to choose Canadian French 🤷

i installed open board for a monolingual friend who uses azerty

not to forget that in some territories you have to use a VPN even to access Wikipedia 🤷

i don’t know how many times i’ve read this same question on Lemmy in only a couple of weeks. privacyguides@lemmy should pin this thread to top

phase out Google account sign-in slowly by signing in to those accounts with an email address instead. It takes weeks maybe, but then you’re free. A password manager like keepass helps

replaced it years ago with Organic Maps. The few things googleMaps does better are not worth the huge hole it digs in your privacy

👍

or if you want to update from other repositories

then when you blacklist apps, aurora no longer searches for their updates either 🤷

try it for yourself. next time there is an update for an app; instead of updating, blacklist it. (you can always undo

fDroid filter works for me 🤷

you can put the apps you want ignored in the black list of Aurora too

😂
