I prefer Mullvad, you can choose filters if you want to have blocked ads, trackers, adult content etc. or nothing

SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Did PewDiePie Just Crack the Code for How to Present Libre Software?745·9 days agoSo glad that one of the largest youtubers is promoting Linux, FOSS and privacy :D
SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Privacy@lemmy.ml•WhatsApp rolls out AI-generated summaries for private messages9·10 days agoI’m kinda sick of EVERYTHING having it’s own “AI”, I just hope it’s only a passing phase like it was with crypto
Personally I don’t think there’s a good e-mail provider, e-mail by itself is unsecure. Most you can do is self hosting one but again that takes time maintaing and can be unsecure if you don’t configure it properly. I just find one that allows me to use IMAP and POP3 ports so I can use any client. But if I had to recommend one I’d say posteo, it’s 1 euro per month or if you don’t want to pay there’s also disroot.
SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there alternative TikTok frontend (like Freetube) ?21·10 days agoNot sure if this counts as an alternative but getting off tiktok, all that mindless scrolling is sucking your life away.
Still can’t believe that Pewdiepie became one of those Linux youtubers, only thing missing is linux distro reviews and why he can’t use X software xD
SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Privacy@lemmy.ml•EU is proposing a new mass surveillance law and is asking the public for feedback news301·1 month agoCan we go 5 minutes without someone proposing a ridicilous law?!
Can’t they focus on problems that actually matter?!
I think you’re mixing privacy with security, iPhone is secure but it’s not private, it’s slighty more private than Google Android but not what would you call private.
Samsung can soft brick your phone so basically backdoor.
Google Pixel with custom ROM like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS is considered to be best in terms of privacy.
Another cheaper alternative if you don’t want to give money to Google or spend too much is Motorola G32, G42, G52 with CalyxOS but to unlock bootloader you have to make account on their website.
You can always ask online community here or on other platforms since they can provide you with exactly what you want.
That would be no. Even if you use ADB to remove bunch of packages that make connections you still can’t be sure if you will have privacy since stock ROM is proprietary. DNS can block some connections but Android and apps can use their own DNS if they want so it also depends.
If question was about security then yes, sticking with stock ROM is usually more secure although many argue that GrapheneOS holds highest security standard. DNS can also improve security since it can block malicious domains, that depends which DNS provider you’re using.
I think it provides fake data but don’t take my word.
Data only needed for that specific service to function
Aurora Store is 3rd party client for Google Play Store while MicroG is open source implementation of Google libraries so they are not quite comparable.
I’d say MicroG with Aurora Store is most private you can be if you really need to use Google services. You can use Aurora Store with anonymous Google Account that they provide you and MicroG is only sharing necessary data with Google servers.

SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•When did you start working around with Linux?3·2 months agoAround 2014 I had hacker phase so I’ve installed BackTrack(Kali Linux), ofcourse I didn’t knew a thing about Linux but hey it was a start :D
Since then I had dual boot with Windows until 2020 when Ubuntu 20.04 dropped and Windows never touched my computers again.
SilliusMaximus@mander.xyzto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Brave is not a bad browser and nor is Firefox.1·2 months agoThanks but I don’t use web browser on mobile and probably if I would, I’d use IronFox or IceRaven
I think it’s great that such a large content creator like PewDiePie made a video about Linux
Well yes, anyone can compile its own version of Signal and use it and it will work as long as there aren’t some major changes to its communication protocol
I’ve also tried to use Mullvad as regular browser but even though I turn off always private mode, after restart all cookie exceptions disappear
Nice! Great to see another app available outside of Google Play Store :D
