Ah, thank you. It’s been a while since I had to work with Android.


Material Design is still modern? I thought Google had revised that again.

(Using only Apple devices, I wonder if I should make an Apple-like interface now…)


Mullvad and Perfect Privacy won’t need your bank details though.





I never leave my VPN, so that’s the easier way anyway.


Can you give any suggestions?

What’s wrong with learning a language from an actual book?


do you think it’s worth it’s legacy

It depends on what you want to achieve. MX Linux is one of the less annoying Linux distributions (although I’m more into Void and Slackware, to be honest), but in terms of privacy (which is the very topic of this Lemmy community), it doesn’t do much better or worse than most other Linux distributions.


“New”… anyway, there is a whole bunch of operating systems without systemd. Why Linux?


Threema is a solid option. They’re not from the EU and they’ve been around for long enough to have built a solid foundation of privacy-aware users.



So hoping apple is not selling my data, because they make enough money with their hardware sales?

More or less, yes. Because they don’t need the money.

How does the add business of google affect my privacy?

Google’s whole business model is selling your private data. Or which product did you buy from them?


My understanding is iOS requires all browsers to use web kit.

Yes, but… - anyway, what exactly would a different rendering engine improve for your experience?

how are you watching YouTube without ads?

Vinegar exists.


Watching YouTube without ads, my own browser with an adblocker…

Both are well possible on an iPhone.


Android is primarily sponsored and advertised by Google, which is basically the world’s largest advertising company that also happens to have an IT department.

iOS is exclusively sponsored and advertised by Apple, which is basically a large IT company that makes most of its money with rather expensive hardware.

One of those is a wiser choice if you care about your privacy.


A good cloud based password manager is end to end encrypted

Presumably end-to-end encrypted. Do not trust any of them. There is no good cloud-based password manager.

My personal recommendations:

  1. KeePass (and its numerous alternative clients). The password database is one single file which would never have to leave your local network (or even: computer).
  2. Gopass (pass with modern addins). The password database is a folder of files which can optionally be version-controlled in a Git or Fossil repository. The default encryption is GnuPG, but it also supports age.
